Canon ME20F-SH is company’s first ultra-high-sensitivity video camera, capable of ISO 4,000,000

Posted on by

Canon has announced the new ME20F-SH video camera for extreme low light photography. The main selling point here is the ultra high sensitivity sensor that can shoot with a minimum subject illumination of less than 0.0005 lux at maximum 75 dB gain setting, equivalent to an ISO sensitivity of over 4,000,000. Previously this kind of low light recording would have required an infrared illumination, which can only record in black and white but the ME20F-SH can do full color recording.

Making this possible is a 2.26 megapixel full frame CMOS sensor. While the resolution might seem low, the sensor is as big as on a DSLR, which means the pixel size is 19μm square, which is more than 5.5 times the surface area of EOS-1D X sensor pixel, allowing it to capture way more light.

The ME20F-SH can record videos in 1080p resolution up to 60fps, has Canon Log and Wide DR modes for a flatter profile and wider dynamic range while shooting, EF mount for support for Canon's EF lenses, 3G/HD-SDI and HDMI outputs to connect to an external monitor or recorders (the camera has no built-in display or memory as is often common for high-end video cameras), Canon's proprietary 2.5mm stereo mini-mini-jack and round 8-pin RS-422 jack for remote terminal, 3.5mm stereo microphone jack, and 4-pin XLR DC11-17V power input.

The Canon ME20F-SH will go on sale in December 2015 for a suggested retail price of $30,000. The camera will be ideal for those recording in extremely low light situations, such as for night time wildlife shooting, or astrophotography, and other scenarios where light would be a…

Google’s Project Loon to provide internet access across Sri Lanka

Posted on by

The island nation of Sri Lanka has entered into an agreement with Google to provide country-wide Internet access using the latter's Project Loon. This would make Sri Lanka the first country to have universal Internet access through the search giant's project, which aims to provide Internet connectivity using helium-filled balloons.

"The entire Sri Lankan island – every village from (southern) Dondra to (northern) Point Pedro – will be covered with affordable high speed Internet using Google Loon's balloon technology," said the Asian country's foreign minister Mangala Samaraweera.

The plan is to provide local service providers access to the balloons, effectively improving the quality of their service and reducing their operational costs. The service is expected to launch by March next year.
