Canon’s 35mm full-frame CMOS sensor achieves rich gradations from highlight to shadow with a dynamic range and gradation just like positive films. Furthermore, the high image resolution and low noise of a 35mm full-frame sensor helps deliver image quality fine enough for 10"x12" prints, often seen in galleries, as well as for posters — previously the lone domain of medium- and large-format film.
