The new 8.2 megapixel CMOS sensor was tailored to measure for the new EOS 20D. In addition to its high resolution, the sensor offers a sensitivity range of ISO 100–1600, which can even be "pushed" on ISO 3200 in the "H" setting. The new CMOS sensor has the same dimension as its predecessor, because of the approximately 30 percent higher resolution, the area of the individual photo dijung is smaller. Improved high-performance microlins over every photo diode help to achieve an excellent signal-to-noise ratio despite a smaller diodes. Because the new micro lenses increase the efficiency of the appearing light and thus increase ISO performance and image quality. In addition, a new circuit optimizes noise reduction: it strengthens the signal of the photo dijung and suppresses effectively d.
