Canon develops 35 mm full-frame CMOS sensor for video capture
For comparison, the Nikon D4 (a digital SLR) can shoot video at ISO 204,800, and it can resolve details in the dark beyond the ability of the eye, and I suspect this new sensor is more sensitive — or, at least, far more noise free — than that.EDIT: Judging by some photos I've taken of the night sky, with an f/2.8 lens and with a shutter speed of 1/50s, you need an ISO of around 300,000 to get enough brightness.If only Stanley Kubrick had this to play with. Instead, he used a f/0.7 lens to shoot some scenes in Barry Lyndon by candlelight, way back in 1975.
