Demo of Canon 250MP Sensor and Turbulence Removal Feature

[RGF]

Doesn't turbulence kill sharpness on stills... would this not help with that also...?

wonder if this will work with heat lines?

Guess this means the 5DSR is going to have a huge price drop soon now that it's obsolete :

Some of the comments in here remind me of techies in 1995 who were saying "there is NO WAY you will ever fill up a 1GB hard drive!!!".

I mean Canon gives one little glimpse of something that that is years away and already people are drawing conclusions.

Will this Turbulence Removal work on big zoom cameras with fixed lenses too? And while we are at it, does anyone know if/when will the SX50 HS get replaced

You mean the SX-60?

Yes, sorry, a typo, SX60. I know they had a patent for 100x zoom a long ago but no news for a product

Impressive. Actually this is the kind of technology used in large telescopes but they do it by bending the reflective mirror to compensate for atmospheric fluctuations. I don't see Canon 'bending' the imaging sensor so it must be done with software. The high megapixel count just provides the necessary resolution to do this and make it relevant in the first place.

Now I would like a haze removal feature as well, that would be really great with long lenses ;D

I've seen a high-end Sony surveillance camera up close that has both of these features, and it is quite impressive:

Note that this is a video camera (although it does take stills), and the price for these is in the hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Thanks for that. Sony time and time again surprises with technical innovations or novel applications

yes, I'd like to see an SX-60 replacement too..... I wonder if it would have the anti-turbulence software?????

Do we think this software requires the camera to be static, i.e. mounted on a tripod? I'd imagine it too complex to interact with handheld movement/image stabilisation (at least at present). Thoughts?

this is very interesting.

Canon now has demonstrated ultra low light (4MM ISO), 250 MP sensor.

What about DR? Perhaps they can show a prototype (or better a real product) that is as good as the Sony sensors (demo product should put the Sony sensor to shame).
