As we already Know Canon is using Sony RX100 M3 1″ sensor inside the Canon G7X, G9X and G5X cameras.
Now According to a latest leaked news Canon is currently testing upcoming camera prototype with Canon made and Third party made Sensors (possibly Sony).
We do expect that third party sensor may appear in Next 5D Mark IV and 1DX Mark II camera. However selection of sensor is totally depend upon Sensor performance while satisfying Canon’s quality requirements and cost metrics.
The best part of the news is Canon is putting Consumer priority first. will update you soon as we get any new information.
Also take a look at some 1DX Mark II and 5D Mark IV Rumors.

Till now no all the Nikon DSLR and compact camera uses traditional contrast based sensor, only Nikon Mirrorless Nikon 1 series hybrid AF CMOS sensor developed by Aprina or Sony.
But from the latest patent surfaced over the web shows Nikon working on a mulilayer sensor patent with on-board phase AF pixels. Is the sensor come out as a real product in upcoming years then it will be a big jump from Nikon in-house sensor development team.

A new Canon patent appeared today, according to the patent the camera the upcoming Dual-pixel AF CMOS sensor will carry built-in ND filter.
As we know that the with Dual Pixel CMOS AF, the amount of lens drive is calculated from the amount of signal difference (amount of shift) in the AF points. When the signals of two photodiode are in agreement the Focus is achieved. Now according to the patent one (1) of the photodiode will have ND filter and another one will not… in that way the half of the sensor photodiodes will have ND filter and half of of them are normal pixels and it depend upon users to switch on normal of ND filter mode… this tech will help to expand the dynamic range of the camera.
Explanation and self-interpretation of the patent literature
Patent Publication No. 2015-87401
Published 2015.5.7
Filing date 2013.10.28
Canon patents
Dual Pixel AF
And set up a half-ND filter at the pupil position of the lens
Half ND filter can be switched
Canon is working too hard on latest technologies , we have already seen many multilayer sensor patents from Canon ….

The theoretical structure of Sony upcoming Active Pixel Sensor Details Leaked today, as we have said earlier that the newly developed sensor has a moving color filter above the sensor that moves on horizontal direction and manages to capture three exposure / images (RGB) at the same time and merges into one,
the advantages of active pixel technology are
– Bigger pixels compared to same resolution Bayer sensor. This means more electrons captured and therefore higher dynamic range and lower noise (crazy ISO possible…even crazier than those of the Sony A7s).
– No moire issues anymore. No Anti Aliasing filter needed (increases per pixel sharpness).
– That tech also allows to make crazy high megapixel sensor. For example if you keep an Sony’s APCS pixel size same as the current Sony A7r 36MP RGB pixel size sensor you could in theory make a much higher resolution sensor with same noise level.
– Less pixels to read means also faster processing and readout.
– You actually can have a “full-monochrome” sensor
The sensor is expected to introduced in smartphones first… and later on it will be added to mirrorless and compacts.

 Sony developed a completely new technology that will sure kick out the old Bayer sensor technology, new “Active-Pixel Color Sampling sensor (APCS)” will arrive in 2015! The sensor captures full color information, will give excellent low-light performance and also have the ability to record 2K video with 16,000 frames per second… full details below
Traditional RGB pixel removed – All type of Bayer sensor have three Basic color pixels inside – Red, Green and Blue, and your image reconstructed after after after shutter button is pressed….. in the new sensor there is no need reconstruct image by basic colors, the sensor is able to capture full color information… so in return you will get excellent low-light performance and dynamic range.
Other positive points of the new sensor
– Bigger pixels compared to same resolution Bayer sensor. This means more electrons captured and therefore higher dynamic range and lower noise (crazy ISO possible…even crazier than those of the Sony A7s).
– No moire issues anymore. No Anti Aliasing filter needed (increases per pixel sharpness).
– That tech also allows to make crazy high megapixel sensor. For example if you keep an Sony’s APCS pixel size same as the current Sony A7r 36MP RGB pixel size sensor you could in theory make a much higher resolution sensor with same noise level.
– Less pixels to read means also faster processing and readout.
– You actually can have a “full-monochrome” sensor
Other key features of the new APCS sensor:
– Electronic Global shutter. No more “jello” effect on videos!
– Records 2K with 16,000 frames per second (processor doesn’t have to be interpolate between RGBG pixels and therefore can use full power to read out more frames per second!). Note that the current Arri Phantom Flex shoots 4K at 1,000 frames per second.
Sony may introduce the new sensor technology in the upcoming Sony XPeriz Z4 flagship smartphone, later on the sensor will be implemented in Digital cameras.

According to latest patent surfaced over the web Nikon is working on completely new sensor tech that will improve the dynamic range of the sensor dramatically, this can be achieved by adding four sub-pixel along side the main pixel,
Explanation and self-interpretation of the patent literature (translated by google)
Patent Publication No. 2014-175992
- Published 2014.9.22
- Filing date 2013.3.12
Nikon patents
- I a second pixel (sub-pixel) around four locations of the first pixel
- Four of the second pixel, the first pixel of the same color of the color filter
- And reads five pixels inside by adding more than 2 pixels
Signal and read out by adding one or more pixels of the four sub-pixels, and select the wide dynamic range between the center pixel
The Nikon sensor design patent mentioned will sure increase the dynamic range as well as the ISO range of the camera, the sensor will possibly also give to control the dynamic range manually.

 A new patent surfaced over the web that shows a new sensor technology to optimize the spectral sensitivity characteristics for each pixel, take a look
Explanation and self-interpretation of the patent literature
Patent Publication No. 2014-168016
- Published 2014.9.11
- Filing date 2013.2.28
Nikon patents
- To optimize the spectral sensitivity characteristics for each pixel
- Pixels having different depths, corresponding to the transmission wavelength band of the color filter
Separates the adjacent pixels, it is possible to suppress the crosstalk between the pixels, and reduces the mixing
