Canon unveils the new MS-500 camera, which is a unique model that is described to be one of the company's most sensitive non-infrared devices. It relies on the highest resolution 1-inch SPAD, which stands for single-photon avalanche diode. The sensor is joined by an interchangeable lens that allows the camera to capture clear color in low lighting down to 0.001 lux.
The MS-500 also uses the brand's B4 mount, which is able to support its broadcast zoom lenses. The company notes that the camera is designed to function in "areas with extremely high-security levels, such as seaports, public infrastructure facilities, and national borders." The lenses can also capture "clear color videos of subjects at a distance of several miles, even at night."
