Super CCD

Layout of sensors on Super CCD matrices

Super CCD is a proprietary charge-coupled device image sensor design that was developed by Fujifilm starting in 1999[1] and marketed with its digital cameras, starting with the FinePix 4700 and S1 Pro. Super CCD cameras were sold until 2010. The Super CCD uses octagonal, rather than rectangular, pixels. This allows a higher horizontal and vertical resolution (at the expense of diagonal resolution) to be achieved compared to a traditional sensor of an equivalent pixel count.
