interesting article...

i wonder how accurate those earlier rumours that Canon was looking at MF?

"Every single pixel can have a different shutter time! This means the sensor allows a dramatic increase of the dynamic range"

How interesting!

 

[Eldar]

Could be a major game changer!

I hope its true - innovation is good for us consumers as Canon will not doubt come up with their offering.

...as long as the subject(s) don't move.

From 1/8000 - 1/1000, or whatever you program it to be. An other alternative, which I thought would have been easier, would be variable ISO. But never the less, quite an interesting thought.

I also wonder about the "each pixel" statement, and how that would play out with a Bayer CFA.

Well, this is true even now. When a pixel saturates, its effective shutter time decreases.

If you have to set the shutter speed 20 million times before each shot it may slow down your work flow.

Lets see what a "pixelshutter" is and how it should work.

This doesn't make sense for the MF world. I mean, it would have to be an electronic shutter, with a sensor+ type of down resolving. One thing for sure, they'd better do it on a 35mm sensor first - I don't think they sell enough H5D's, plus the folks spending $30k+ for a new body and back are not the folks to experiment with.
