I recently had a project where I needed such a sensor, and I picked up a TF-MiniS, which is a popular IR distance sensor. They aren’t very expensive, and they work serial or I2C. So how did it do?

Canon’s new record-breaking 35mm full-frame sensor has a resolution of 410 megapixels, and its monochrome version can capture 100-megapixel video at 24 frames per second.
