The LockPort 800 safely secures a 90° FRONT/REAR mini HDMI to full-size HDMI adapter, protecting forever the “expensive to repair” mini HDMI port on your costly HDSLR camera.

120 megapixel sensor by Canon

A new 120 megapixel 29.2 x 20.2mm APS-H CMOS sensor has been developed by Canon. The new 120 megapixel 29.2 x 20.2mm APS-H CMOS sensor is the same size used in its EOS 1D series of professional DSLRs. Canon says that the sensor is the highest resolution in the world for its size. The sensor covers 120 million pixels compared to similarly sized sensors that cover only 16.1 million pixels. The sensor, for which Canon has announced no production plans, has a pixel count nearly 7.5 times larger than the company's highest pixel count commercially available sensor. It offers full HD recording (using 1/60th of its surface area) and can deliver 9.5fps continuous shooting. This follows a 50 million pixel sensor of similar format the company developed in 2007. The new CMOS sensor is also capable of 9.5 frames per second for continuous shooting of very high-resolution images. The sensor also has full HD video output capability from any 1/60 sized area of its total surface. The new sensor measures about 29.2 x 20.2 mm. Canon is offering no details on when the new sensor might find its way into DSLR cameras that we can buy.
