With a resolution of a 2.26-megapixel is sure no one spent more than $30,000 to buy this product. In contrast, Canon is targeting those who make films and television, for shooting in extremely dark environments that the human eye does not see anything but you can still use the camera to go back to high brightness and no affect the color quality, suitable for users who make video documentaries, reality television shows or night scene.

The Canon ME20F-SH comes with a 35mm full-frame CMOS sensor, each pixel measures 19 microns, which is 7.5-times larger than the existing high-end Canon EOS 1Dx DSLR on the market. This allows the sensor can acquire more light, but due to limited resolution, it can only record the Full-HD 1080p video. On this point, Canon adds that they have limited the resolution to ensure the quality of the video output.Canon-multi-purpose-camera
