According to Canon Rumors, the company is getting ready to release three new camera bodies with variously stacked sensors.
It makes sense that future high-level bodies will also use such sensors since the EOS R3 was the first Canon camera to do so. The advantages of a stacked sensor are numerous, including:
- Increased readout speeds for reduced rolling shutter when producing video or photographing fast action
- Higher resolutions without reduced video performance
- Faster burst rates
- Improved dynamic range
- The possibility of eliminating the physical shutter entirely, as Nikon has done with the Z8 and Z9
The EOS R1 is likely to have a stacked sensor when it becomes the company’s next flagship. The other two cameras that will initially get the option, in my opinion, will be an EOS R5 Mark II and a camera from the Cinema line.
Uncertainty surrounds whether Canon intends to do away with the physical shutter, but the Nikon Z8 and Z9 appear to favor the change. E
ither way, it’s nice to see the company moving forward with improved sensor technology. It is hoped that the technology will soon be used in more cameras.
