Canon has a global shutter camera in the pipeline
- Thread starter Canon Rumors
- Start date
I get this is sarcasm but I only make a big deal because Sony claims there is no loss of dynamic range.<sarcasm>
it's funny how years ago, when Sony sensors were superior in terms of DR over Canon sensors, people on this forum were saying that that was not a material disadvantage...
And now that Canon has caught up in DR and Sony has made a sensor that sacrifices DR in favor of other advantages, that DR loss is intolerable.
</sarcasm>
Sorry I had to write this
I think it is a fair tradeoff.
I just hate how much Sony lies and can get away with it.

Your words say ‘not quite’ but your link says ‘quite definitely’. Or are you saying that a 1/4-stop difference has meaning?

I take it you are using the R1 in anti-flicker mode, correct?
Also, do you have footage on your YouTube channel?

Nikon can certainly do that.
Although, they can certainly make a full-frame global shutter camera like the V Raptor X.

My quip was not directed to you specifically - you are not the only one that have criticized Sony... I do not recall your posture in the 5D III v D800 (with Sony sensor) heydays. Apologies if it has come off that way. And the criticism of Sony lying is valid in my mind. That was dumb considering the data about the A9 III's sensor DR performance was freely available. All corporations lie from time to time.
On a serious note... I do think that people on this forum (and plenty other venues) have changed their narrative on DR with time in a slightly less then ingenuous way.

If you consider the native ISO range of the a9III, Sony is telling the truth (the blip from different starting points of the second amplification stage notwithstanding):

Canon not happy with the image quality sums up my feelings about my R5 Mark II. Talk about hit or miss.
Global shutter is meh. Canon needs to get their act together and being out an R1 with a larger and lower noise sensor. Lower cost prime telephotos. Revamped APS-C line with stacked sensors. And not take half a decade to get it done.

If it's FF and high volume I would suggest the R8 mark ii would be suitable, I don't want it in the R6 iii though as I want the best possible low light performance please and the stacked sensor from the R3 or preferably (but less likely) the R1 is what I would like
Of course if Canon make a global shutter sensor which performs at least as well in low light as my R6 ii then sure put it in the R6 iii but reusing the R1 sensor makes more sense without wasting resources

In what way?
Larger as in physical size or resolution ?
Lower than the 600/800 f/11?

As someone who really doesn’t need my camera for video these days, for which I use my iPhone 16Pro Max, which is pretty good enough for what I need it for, a global shutter has little interest for me. Yes, I know that possibly a higher flash sync. But that’s not much of an advantage, as I see it. So, for me, still quality is much more important. In fact, I was somewhat disappointed that the IQ from the R5II is supposed to be slightly lower than my R5 and I was frustrated, as I was going to get that. Now, I don’t know. Really, higher IQ is the main reason I upgrade. So if a global shutter has no advantages for stills, but rather disadvantages, I’d rather Canon wait until that’s not the case.
I recognize that for videographers the situation may be different.

To avoid the image quality issue that Sony has been criticised for in the A9iii - whether significant to people's use cases or not, Canon has stated that any future global shutter sensor would need to not have a decreased IQ.
I would guess this means that the pixel level storage for GS would need to be moved into the stacked level circuitry and not on the front side. This would mean that the current pixel light gathering capability would be retained.

Sure, the R1 automatically detects the refresh rate of lights and adjust accordingly… this is less effective in mixed lighting… but even this doesn’t fix the moire when shooting with LED walls… those artifacts are caused by the sensor's pixel grid interfering with the pixel grid of the LED wall. This seems largely a non-issue in raw and FHD. However, it’s a genuine problem when filming in 4K.
