Canon Unveils New Global Shutter Sensor for Third-Party Use

Richard CR · Dec 10, 2024

Canon has placed the LI5070SA sensor on its website for third-party sales. This is a super-35-sized sensor (slightly larger than APS-C) at 27.4 x 15.3mm dimensions. On its website, Canon also has a full-frame global shutter sensor, the LI5030SA, which is a 19MP full-frame Global shutter sensor.

If you wanted to make a basic and low-costing 4K cinema/video camera, this would be an ideal sensor to use.

If Canon made a global shutter for APS-C, would they use it for R7ii or create an R9?

Asking out of ignorance - does Canon often market their sensors to third parties? I know that's a big business for Sony, but I wasn't familiar with how often Canon markets their chips.

I do astrophotography with dedicated cooled cameras for astro, and I've seen tons of Sony sensors (I have two cameras with them) but I've never seen a Canon sensor in an astro-camera.

They seem to sell them mainly for industrial uses. They've been selling a 250 MP APS-H sensor for several years.

Thanks. A number of vendors who sell astro cameras also sell variants of those cameras as industrial cameras, and my sense is that the industrial market is much larger than the astro market, but I don't know for sure.

I'm definitely not in the market for a 250MP sensor

. And it's only been the last few years that APS-C and FF sensor astro cameras have become relatively affordable. I have one APS-C camera and one that has a 13 x 8.8 mm sensor. For narrowband imaging, the cost of my filters was more than the cost of my APS-C camera, which is why I didn't go full frame.
