Canon Announces Full Frame Sensor With Global Shutter

Few things are more hyped in photography than the development of global shutters, which offer a wide range of advantages over more traditional counterparts. The holy grail is a consumer-level full frame global shutter, and thanks to Canon's recent announcement, we are getting closer to that. Global shutters, which expose and read the data from the sensor all at the same time as opposed to traditional sequential reads, are prized for a number of reasons. Because the entire sensor operates simultaneously, rolling shutter and distortion of fast-moving subjects are eliminated.
