Kodak is announcing a new image sensor that can deliver better images in low light, by a factor of one or two f/stops, according to a June 14th press release. They go on to say:
“Kodak’s new proprietary technology adds panchromatic, or “clear” pixels to the red, green, and blue elements that form the image sensor array. Since these pixels are sensitive to all wavelengths of visible light, they collect a significantly higher proportion of the light striking the sensor.”
We’ve all heard about potentially superior image sensors before but I’m sure that some of this technology will hit the streets as soon as possible. Kodak could certainly use all the help it can get.
Here’s the link to Kodak’s press release and a Kodak (!?) blog.
