No real new imaging sensors 2012

2012 was a big year for DSLRS with both Canon and Nikon releasing several models.

But it was a different scene in the CCD world being relatively stagnant.

Kodak sold its sensor business to True Sense Imaging and they have added a couple of sensors that most likely would not be used for astrophotography.

I hope they get on top of their new business and look to developing new
CCDs this year.

There was a development with the new Scientific CMOS sensors that may end up being very good once the price comes down.

Otherwise your 8300 or 16803 chipped camera is still cutting edge for now.

Greg.
