Fujifilm announces Super CCD EXR

Pre-Photokina 2008: Fujifilm’s second technology announcement of the day is the latest development of its Super CCD sensor, Super CCD EXR. Designed as a ‘three in one’ sensor combining the benefits of high resolution, high sensitivity and wide dynamic range, Super CCD EXR uses a totally new color filter array and has the ability to process half the pixels separately. This should, according to the press release, get Fujifilm closer to the holy grail of compact camera design; small sensors that don’t sacrifice noise and DR for resolution. Again there’s no product this time around.
