This site is broken into four sections; Image capture, Technology, Full-frame appeal and Shooting options. It's an interesting insight into why Canon believe they have the edge in sensor technology and also exactly what goes on inside the sensor at the time of capture."</i><br /><br /><img src="http://www.digitalmediathoughts.com/images/canoncmos.gif" /><br /><br />Canon has been manufacturing original semiconductor chips and sensors in order to produce cameras with increasingly higher performance. You can get to the site by going to <a href="http://web.canon.jp/Imaging/cmos/index-e.html">http://web.canon.jp/Imaging/cmos/index-e.html</a>. I have been browsing through the site for a few minutes and it seems quite nice. All the information you need to know about the various sensors that Canon makes can be found here. I especially like the part that talks about the light gathering efficiency of the sensors.
