Just as we’d wrapped our heads around 100MP cameras, the megapixel wars reignite to bludgeon us into accepting bigger numbers must be better. Those with lenses fixed on photography may have spotted that Omnivision recently announced its first 200-megapixel OVB0A sensor.

Sporting a colossal 16,384 x 12,288 pixels in a reasonably sized 1/1.395-inch package, 100% quad phase detection (QPD) technology, 16-cell pixel binning, 4K 120fps video readout, and 8K HDR capabilities, there’s a lot of healthy-looking numbers to sink your teeth into here. Impressively, yet also perhaps somewhat concerningly, each pixel measures just 0.56µm across. That’s smaller than the wavelength of red light.
