Eastman Kodak Company (Kodak) (NYSE: EK) have announced the development of a 50 megapixel CCD sensor for use in digital photographic applications.

Kodak claim the sensor is the world's first CCD sensor with such a high resolution. The KAF-50100 Image Sensor is a product of Kodak's TRUESENSE 6.0 micron Full Frame CCD Technology Platform, with a newly designed pixel which reduces sensing time and power consumption when compared to previous 6.2 micron sensor technology.

The 8176 x 6132 sensor array in a 48mm x 36 mm format will be available in engineering grade samples immediately, with volume production planned for Q4 2008. Kodak expect the sensor to be incorporated in professional quality camera products.
