Canon recently developed a new image sensor for surveillance purposes (security camera, etc). The newly developed sensor is a layered type sensor (No, we are not talking about favon sensors this time), it is Canon’s homemade advanced Stacked CMOS sensor in two layers (but, its more advance than canon existing stacked CMOS sensors): The Newly developed sensor carries its central processing unit (CPU) punched on rear side of it, that performs calculations in a second layer for super fast readout speed with almost non-exitance rolling shutter or motion blur being introduced in the image or video, the sensor readout speed is so fast it can clearly capture the number plate of fast-moving cars in the road without any distortion.
Now let’s talk about the major advantage of the camera sensor or you can say it is a BREAKTHROUGH TECHNOLOGY, When ur shooting in an environment with a significant difference in brightness (shadow vs highlights like shooting on a harsh sunny day without any lens filters or reflectors or even lights.). Canon’s newly developed CMOS sensor divides the entire scene into different parts and follows a algorithm of “exposure by area” that changes the exposure conditions for each area. So, u get a perfect HDR output from the sensor either the sensor capturing still or video. Undoubtedly the new CMOS sensor can improve the performance of surveillance cameras.
So, is there any possibility of Canon using the same sensor technology in Mirrorless cameras?
Yes, we do believe that Canon will use the newly developed sensor tech in the Upcoming Mirrorless cameras too, but obviously not so soon. It is possible that Canon could use the same sensor technology in mirrorless cameras. See, initially, the sensor is designed for surveillance applications like High-Quality security cameras etc. But, if we look at the technical aspects of the sensor, having a sensor with Zero- rolling shutter issues and multi-area exposure HDR image and video will upscale Mirrorless camera performance to the next level.

Industry’s highest standard, performance of “CMOS sensor” for surveillance developed by Canon
The developed CMOS sensor is a layered type with two layers: pixels that convert external light into electrical signals and a central processing unit (CPU) that performs calculations. Compared to when pixels and CPUs are placed on the same substrate, more CPUs and dedicated circuits Processing power has increased, making it easier to shoot high-precision images even when the subject is moving.
The CMOS sensor developed by Canon this time divides the screen finely and adopts “exposure by area” that changes the exposure conditions for each area.Since no compositing process is required, there is no need to worry about blurring the subject.It can contribute to Improving the performance of surveillance cameras by, for example, simultaneously recognizing the vehicle license plate and driver’s face at the entrance/exit of an underground parking lot.
