Featuring a new Canon 1-inch SPAD sensor, the MS-510 delivers, Canon says, “impressive low-light and long-range performance for ultra-low-light environments.” The MS-510 now announced by Canon is an innovative multi-purpose camera engineered to meet the rigorous demands of ultra-low-light full-color video shooting. Building on the success of the MS-500, the new MS-510 is designed to deliver high-fidelity captures of everything from nocturnal wil…

Canon MS-510 Launched – SPAD Sensor Camera Drops to 0.0006 Lux With Improved NIR Sensitivity

Canon has unveiled the MS-510 at NAB 2026, a successor to the MS-500 that pushes SPAD sensor low-light performance even further. Featuring a new 1-inch SPAD sensor with a minimum subject illumination of 0.0006 lux and improved near-infrared capabilities, the multi-purpose camera is aimed at security, surveillance, and specialist imaging applications where seeing in near-total darkness is non-negotiable. Canon’s ultra-high-sensitivity camera line…

Canon’s new camera and lens can see from miles away – even in the dark – but you probably won’t buy it

The Canon MS-510 uses a SPAD Sensor, which, unlike CMOS, counts each proton for extreme low light imaging

Why Canon's cutting-edge sensor tech may not cascade down to photographers

The Canon MS-510 surveillance camera is the second to use its SPAD sensor. Image: Canon Canon has announced its second camera based around a 'single photon avalanche diode' (SPAD) sensor. It's a completely different sensor technology to the CMOS sensors we typically encounter, based on a completely different physical phenomenon, and able to measure the arrival of individual photons. The MS510 is a box camera, designed for applications such as ni…
