Doubling Light Sensitivity
20 June 2007 – 8:09 am
Kodak has created a new color-filter that doubles the light sensitivity of digital cameras.
A year from now, capturing a crisp, clear image of a candlelit birthday party could be a piece of cake — even with a camera phone.
Eastman Kodak Co. said Thursday it has developed a color-filter technology that at least doubles the sensitivity to light of the image sensor in every digital camera, enabling shutterbugs to take better pictures in poor light…
…Kodak expects to provide samples of its new technology to a variety of camera manufacturers in the first quarter of 2008. The technology is likely to be incorporated first in mass-market point-and-shoot cameras and camera-equipped mobile phones beginning sometime next year. — cnn.com
After living in Rochester for years watching the decline of Kodak it great to hear news of Kodak jumping ahead of the technology curve.
