Canon unveils 120-megapixel APS-H CMOS sensor

Craving a camera with more pixels?  Well, perhaps Canon’s new 120-million pixel sensor will suit
you well. That’s right, the folks over at Canon have developed a 13,280 x 9,184
pixel, 29.2mm x 20.2mm sensor. 

Currently there are no plans yet for the 120-megapixel
sensor to make its way into a camera anytime soon.  However the APS-H CMOS sensor does have potential for use in
medical imaging as well as cinematography. 

In addition to setting the record for highest resolution of
any sensor commercially available, the Canon monstrosity can also deliver full
HD video—using only 1/60^th of its total surface area—as well as
continuous shooting at 9.5fps.
