Cameras with Stacked Sensors and No Blackout Viewfinders in 2022
Post Date:2022-06-07

 

Stacked CMOS Sensor Structure
Stacked CMOS Sensor Structure

 

Stacked CMOS sensors technology which enables ultra-fast readout times is one of the most important innovations in the  imaging sensor world and being implemented in more camera models these days by the manufacturers, especially on their flagship models such as Sony Alpha A1 , Canon EOS R3 and Nikon Z9.

Thanks to ultra fast readout speeds, Stacked sensor technology makes it possible to increase the max shooting speed and minimize the rolling shutter effects. Another advantage that was made possible by the stacked sensor is the 'no blackout' or 'blackout free' viewfinders.

As of 2022, there are only 7 cameras that utilizes the Stacked CMOS sensor, five of them have full-frame sensors, one is Micro Four Thirds (OM System OM-1) and the last one, Fujifilm X-H2S has an APS-C sized sensor. Below you can find the specs of each of these cameras with a comparison table at the very end.
