New sensor tech promises wide dynamic range for DSLR sensors
DSLR sensors always had an issue with processing wide dynamic range. Usually, if the highlights are clipped, no information is recorded in those areas; if we expose for the highlights then information in the shadows is lost. DP Review recently reported on a new sensor technology called "Binary Pixel" introduced by a U.S. company Rambus.
This new technology promises to retain highlights information, while exposing properly in the shadow areas!
