Canon Drone with Full Frame Camera on the way.
There are constantly launched new drones with cameras. You can justifiably expect that the new drone is now the current could be DJI's SPARK or a new drone on Kickstarter.
But today's news is something else entirely.
Canon has made cameras for over 80 years, but now they will also enter the market for drones with cameras and it will be interesting to see what they can deliver in the market competition with their Canon drone.
Canon's entry into the market will be with a ME20F-SH Full Frame camera with high sensitivity. In fact, it can shoot photos with an impressive ISO of up to 4.5 million!

Canon ME20F-SH Multi Purpose Camera can record video in HD (1920 x 1080 p 60 FPS) and supports both PAL and NTSC. The camera has a full frame sensor (35 mm) with 2.26 million pixels. This means that its pixels are approximately 7.5 times greater than on traditional pixels on a normally Canon Full Frame DSLR camera.
Canon drone targeted Search and Rescue (SAR) due to its ability to capture in the dark. The Japanese market is projected to reach a market value of around 221 billion Yen (about USD 14 billion) for 5 years, so Canon has now chosen to bet on a be a part of the market.
There is not much new to promote itself, in addition to the drone is probably built by ProDrone, is a hexacopter (6 propellers) and have less colloquial name: PD6E2000-AW-powerful CJ1.
Canon will launch more news about the drone by a Video Conference Expo in Tokyo, so the price is as yet unknown, but the camera alone will cost in the region of USD 20,000 so it naturally limits the target audience itself, but the perspective of night footage in the future looks promising.
