The Japanese NHK Science & Technology Research Laboratories showed its latest innovation at its Technology Open House 2011, a compact Ultra High Definition camera that captures Ultra High Definition resolution of 33 million pixels.
Until now there has not been a single sensor capable of imaging the full resolution of 33 million pixels, so they used a system of 4 chips each capable of imaging 8 million pixels.
“Our primary goal in making this single-chip imaging equipment was to make a camera small enough to be practical to use when filming outside. The difference from other products is that it uses a single sensor to achieve the full Ultra High Definition resolution of 33 million pixels. By using color filter technology that is used in digital cameras equipped with Bayer masks, and dividing color by fields to get information, it is possible to achieve a very compact camera.”
“This is still a hand-built trial device, and we want to work with a manufacturer to finalize it and make a product for actual use.”
Sony Developed an new 16.15MP(ICX682SQW) and 10.17MP(ICX688SQG) CCD Image Sensor for Consumer Digital Still Cameras, The 16.15M Sensor Support High-Definition Television (Equivalent to 720/30p) Imaging and Continuous Capturing High-Sensitivity Still Images.

The new 16.15MP CCD will capture 5fps at 4-Megapixels but current Sony CMOS Sensor of same size captures 10fps at 16.2Megapxel resolution.
The New 16.15MP CCD capture 720/30p Video but current Sony CMOS Sensor of same size captures 1920X1080 at 60fps.
We start off with normal timelapse and then go into the 3 and 7 bracket tone mapped HDR timelapses.
I wanted to create a sense of colour and insanity that Las Vegas gives you. All from one view point. My balcony. With that restriction can you do it? Well I did it before in my two previous timelapses…
This was harder in a way as there was no single focal point like in the Sydney Harbour piece or the Space Needle piece.
I made a virtue of the HDR tone mapping with the change of pace in the music and also my use of bookends which I love.
There is a very detailed commentary on my website which goes into each shot in detail. It’s worth a listen. http://philipbloom.net/?p=13307

8k or Hi-Vision videos have 16 times the resolution of full HD movies, with development in technology and joint effort of both NHK and NTT the NHK was capable then to transmit Super Hi-Vision videos all around the world (80,000km) with just a 0.3 second lag, a huge improvement compared to the usual 1.2 seconds lag obtain when using satellites. NHK hopes that they will bring Super Hi-Vision ready for the public in 2020 in order to broadcast International Sports event from Japan at first.
Sony’s new F65 CineAlta 8K 20Mpix CMOS sensor capable to deliver 4K2K videos as well as our HD up to 120fps with 16Bit linear RAW output.
Press Release
LAS VEGAS, April 10, 2011 – Sony is revolutionizing digital cinematography with the official unveiling of its much-anticipated next-generation CineAlta camera. The F65 raises the bar in the quest for the “look” of 65mm film, and delivers on its promise to derive true 4K resolution and beyond – at the point of image capture.
Sony’s unique 8K image sensor, with approximately 20 megapixels, offers higher image fidelity than any other camera. With 16-bit RAW output, the F65 establishes the gateway to a complete, end-to-end 4K mastering workflow.
“Sony’s new F65 digital motion picture camera combines true 4K resolution with an expansive dynamic range that enables a more nuanced reproduction of fine textural and tonal details,” said Curtis Clark, ASC. “Along with excellent contrast and exceptional color reproduction the F65 produces images that have a rich filmic look and feel, providing filmmakers with significantly enhanced creative photographic possibilities.”
At the heart of the F65 camera is Sony’s newly developed 8K sensor, which will deliver pristine HD, 2K, and true 4K resolution today — and will go far beyond 4K in the future, as industry needs evolve. The Sony imager is also the first to provide a dedicated green photosite for each pixel in the 4K output image. This is twice the amount of green resolution compared with traditional 4K Bayer pattern sensors, providing a significant improvement in image resolution that is ideal for VFX processing.
“Sony already has a successful track record in developing 4K technology, with our 4K digital cinema projection system re-defining the movie-going experience,” said Alec Shapiro, senior vice president, Professional Solutions of America, Sony Electronics. “However, Sony is committed to driving every aspect of a 4K workflow – starting with acquisition. This camera is the pinnacle of 30-plus years of research, experience and engineering breakthroughs and is the latest example of Sony’s ongoing pursuit of the highest quality content creation and production.”
The 8K CMOS sensor can run up to maximum 120Fps. This sensor performance combined with 16-bit RAW output makes the F65 the first image capture system designed from the ground up to support the Academy IIF-ACES, Image Interchange Framework, Academy Color Encoding Specification.
The F65 has also been designed for multiple production applications, including 3D rigs and Steadicam, and will offer a compact and lightweight detachable camera T-head for these configurations. In addition, an optional mechanical rotary shutter will be available for eliminating motion artifacts that are inherent with other CMOS sensor technology.
A dockable SR memory recorder – model SR-R4 – attaches to the camera to record directly on to an SR memory card of 256 GB, 512 GB or 1TB capacity with data security and sustained throughput of 5 Gbps. The recorder will enable ultra high speed recording of16-bit RAW data.
A 1TB memory card recording at 24 fps will store 50 minutes of footage in 4K 16 bit RAW. As with previous generations of CineAlta systems, Sony continues to work closely with the industry to develop this next generation digital motion picture camera technology and storage, workflow system.

Nikon D5100 vs Canon 600D, Which one you should buy? Read the comparison review below
Canon Features 18MP and Nikon D5100 features 16MP sensor, Nikon have better Focusing system than canon and ISO range is almost same if we ignore the boost mode.
Lens mount – Canon 600D supports both EF and EF-S Lenses.
Nikon D5100– AF series of lens is not compatible with the D5100, Lenses without the AF-S (silent wave motor) designation will not focus on bodies without an in-body motor.
Movie Mode – Nikon D5100 Supports AF(Auto-Focus) during movie recording but in canon 600D AF is not available. Canon 600D offers Full HD recording at 30fps and 720p recording at 60fps, Nikon limited to 30fps only.
Nikon D5100 have better Movie mode but limited to Nikon F mount lenses and Canon 600D support EF & EF-S lenses , so if you are interested in shooting movies with your DSLR buy Nikon D5100, otherwise go for canon 600D (Recommended Lenses for Canon 600D)
