The Narrowband Channel:

It is no secret that I like my 43rds sensors. It seams to be the perfect size for just about everything that I do. Maybe it isn’t the perfect aspect ratio but that is a different topic. I found this sensor while reading about new tech and patents in the industry last year. It is an interesting sensor to say the least. Hope you find this interesting. Sensors have a long way to go before the shot noise limit is reached.
