In a recent interview at Phototrend Canon said, they already have a global shutter sensor (Canon introduced its first global shutter sensor in August 2016) but according to Canon “since image quality is on the No.1 Priority list of Canon, Global shutter sensors as of now exhibit limited low-light performance. Until this basic is fixed they won’t use Global shutter sensor in commercial Camera bodies made for photographers
Phototrend has an interview with the Canon development team held at the CP+ venue.
- Sony announced a device with global shutter, but is Canon also working on this technology with the EOS R1?)
First of all, let’s not forget that we already have an industrial-grade global shutter sensor. Installing a global shutter on a mirrorless camera has advantages such as eliminating rolling shutter distortion and full-speed synchronization, but it also has the disadvantage of reducing image quality. I would like to consider this option in the future while looking at the balance between the advantages and disadvantages. - (Are there some professionals who don’t care about image noise for the benefits of global shutter?)
I understand that there are people who are willing to compromise on that point, but if we use it in our main product… Our philosophy is that image quality cannot be compromised on. That said, it is necessary to consider the product category, and I would like to listen to feedback from users.
