50 Megapixel CCD image sensor by Kodak : World's first 50 Megapixel CCD image sensor for professional photography has been announced by Eastman Kodak Company. At 50 million pixels, the KAF-50100 image sensor captures digital images with unprecedented resolution and detail. For instance, with a 50 megapixel digital camera, in an aerial photo of a field 1,5 miles across, you could detect an object about the size of a small notebook computer. The Kodak KAF-50100 image sensor features a newly designed pixel that is smaller in size than the pixel used in current products for this professional market. This new pixel also reduces 'click-to-capture' time for improved camera response and lowers power consumption for improved battery life.

Sony 24 Megapixel CMOS : Sony announced the development of a 35mm full size 24.81 effective megapixel, ultra-high speed high image quality CMOS sensor designed to meet the increasing requirement for rapid image capture and advanced picture quality within DSLR cameras. In recent years, the demand for digital SLR cameras featuring high resolution and wide graduation ranges capable of capturing every detail of the subject matter has continued to increase, particularly among high-end amateur users. Additionally, the increasing user requirement to shoot from the same focal length and angle as 35mm film cameras using interchangeable lenses has led to significant interest in the development of 35mm, full size CMOS image sensors.
