We are covering up Curve sensor news from a while but yesterday we have a received a email from French research institute CEA-Leti team about their upcoming Curve sensor announcement at CES show. The new curve image sensor can be used for Cameras, Smartphones and Security Cameras.
Curve and organic sensors are the future imagine technology, with the implementation of curve sensor the lens optics size will be reduced dramatically (upto 50-60% compared to conventional lens size) and that opens a bunch of possibilities to improve your existing interchangeable lens system.
Curve Sensor Advantages
Form Factor: Reducing the number of lens elements in digital cameras from 10 to six reduces the size of the final compound lens by 60 percent. The overall length of the optical system also is shorter.
Improved Performance: Curved image sensors reduce—and in some cases completely eliminate—optical aberrations like curvature of field and the vignetting effect. They also deliver increased brightness and a wider field of view.
Cost: Reducing the number of lens elements and eliminating aspheric lens elements, which will be unnecessary, will lower the cost of systems integrating Pixcurve technology.
Assembly: Fewer components means quicker and easier assembly—a major advantage for manufacturers.
CEA will host a ‘CEA Tech Village’ at booth 51253 in Eureka Park
Visitors at the Pixcurve booth at CES will see before-and-after examples on two tablets, illustrating the substantial size reduction that Pixcurve curved-sensor technology can bring and proving that there is no decline in image quality.

Pixcurve at CES: New Curved Image Sensor Technology Reduces Size, Weight & Cost of Digital Cameras – and Improves Image Quality
GRENOBLE, France – Dec. 06, 2018 – With an innovation that could inject new life into the global digital-camera market, CEA-Leti will demonstrate its new technology for image sensors at CES 2019 that replicates the curve of the human retina. This curved image sensor technology breakthrough, called Pixcurve, requires fewer lens elements in digital cameras, which shrinks camera size by half and lowers costs – while improving image quality.
“The digital camera market has taken a huge hit from the massive adoption of smartphones, even though these bigger cameras deliver better image quality than smartphone cameras,” said David Henry, manager of packaging and assembling at CEA-Leti. “Pixcurve, which also reduces camera sizes in smartphones, microdisplays and virtual-reality glasses, provides camera manufacturers with cost effective, compact, easy-to-assemble optical components they need to bring their products to new levels of performance in the digital era.”
Portability is a big factor for many consumers, and smaller, lighter and less-expensive digital cameras will enable camera makers to increase their share of the global market. With Pixcurve, CEA-Leti, a French research institute, has developed an innovative solution for the visible imaging market and beyond.

TNC EXCLUSIVE Canon is working on a AI system that will going to track viewers point of interest and then it will going to point all cameras on players those who are attracting most of the eyes in stadium. So, actually there in near future AI systems will going to shoot Sports shooters in stadium.
In a latest patent we have seen Canon is working to improve the sports photography to a next level.
They are planning to introduce artificially Intelligence Software based programs to track the interest of human eye and then they will going to point all those camera to specific players attracting max numbers of fans.
The rule is very simple the Canon Artificial Intelligence program will going to find all those field cameras two specific place where the entire crowd is looking at to get the best angle shot by viewers interest.
So that’s really very interesting patent and will going to change the way we look to the sports in near future.
Nikon is preparing to announce entry level DSLR camera. According to anonymous sources the pipeline of old stock is on clearance mode specifically in Asian regions, and once it gets cleared we will see the next entry level DSLR camera from Nikon. However the announcement is 3-4months away from now, the entry level camera announcement may happen on August or Sep of 2018. Name isn’t confirmed yet, most probably we will see Nikon D3500. The Nikon D3500 camera is said to feature 24 MP Sensor, and Multi-CAM 4800DX 39-Point AF Sensor.
We do expect it should carry 4K video, but we don’t have any confirmation yet.We will update you soon as we get any new information.
What to expect from Canon this Photokina 2018 ? We are getting hints from the beginning of the year, that several new products from Canon is coming. Some of the major name in the list includes arrival of Canon Fullframe Mirrorless and Canon 7D Mark III camera. Take a detailed list of products expected to arrive this Photokina 2018
1. Canon Fullframe Mirrorless
Based on latest rumors Canon Mirrorless camera is on hands of few selected photographers worldwide. That clearly indicates a big mirrorless announcement may happen soon, and as we have said in the past the best platform for announcement of such product is Photokina 2018.
So, we are almost confirmed that the one of the Fullframe camera model is having 30 MP DPAF sensor. The image processor inside the FF Mirrorless is expected to be Dual Digic 8 for sure. On Video 4K with C-log support is also expected.
2. Canon 7D Mark III
Canon 7D Mark II is overdue for an update and the Canon 7D Mark III announcement is expected at the end of 2018 sometime in 2019. based on latest rumors and the strategy followed by Canon for the year of 2018. It’s look like Canon 7D III isn’t coming anytime soon.
3. Canon EOS M5 Mark II
One more APS-C Mirrorless announcement is expected this year and we are hoping for next generation of APS-C flagship Canon EOS M-5 Mark II camera. As the Canon EOS M50 have limited 4K video mode with no DPAF support and additional 1.6X crop-factor over it. So, we are expecting Canon will pull out all those limitations in the upcoming APS-C flaghip camera. As for now we don’t have the exact date of arrival but we do expect its announcement before Photokina 2018.
4. Canon G7X Mark III
We have seen already a lot of hoax about the Canon G7X Mark III camera, we are almost confirmed that Canon G7X Mark III is one of the first Canon compact camera that have 4K video mode with DPAF support. The announcement of the camera is expected on Summer of 2018.
Canon 90D Update – Canon has registered two APS-C camera DSLRs at wireless registration agency. But, we are not expecting the announcement of Canon 90D this year, it is expected to arrive in the beginning or mid of 2019.
So, these are the set of cameras we are expecting on Photokina 2018. We will update this page whenever we get any new information.
According to the latest rumors coming from reputed rumor mill, the upcoming Sony A7S III camera will going to have a completely brand new sensor integrated with integral memory.
Sony A7S was first introduced bak on Sep 2014 and just after a year gap Sony introduced the Sony A7S II camera by having the same 12MP sensor, one stop more ISO range, built-in IS and more dense AF points (from 25 to 165). Now, After 2+ years of long gap we are expecting Sony A7S III camera with improved core specification.
The sources suggest that upcoming camera will going to have a stacked CMOS sensor. As I can remember, we have seen Sony first Fullframe stacked CMOS sensor in the Sony A9 camera and is they are able to implement it , it will be a great upgrade from the existing Sony A7S II.
According to the sources the upcoming Sony A7 S3 camera features a brand new stacked CMOS sensor with built in memory and high sensitivity with improved autofocusing.
