Canon's SPAD Sensor Sees in Near-Total Darkness at 0.0006 Lux

SPAD sensors don't work like your CMOS — instead of accumulating charge, they count individual photons, which is why 0.0006 lux is even possible. The MS-510 won't end up in your camera bag, but Canon is clearly using these specialist cameras as a proving ground for the sensor tech that will eventually trickle into serious stills and video bodies. If you shoot in genuinely dark environments — wildlife at night, event work, astro — this is the pipeline worth tracking.
