According to latest rumors from SAR, Sony will soon announce two new full frame 16bit sensors. These sensors are rumored for the upcoming Sony a7S III and Sony a7R IV/a9R.
Full Frame Sensor 1: (Could be for Sony a7R IV or a9R)
- 60MP
- 16 channels (which is crazy, normally it should be 8),
- 4.6FPS@16bit
- 12FPS@14bit
- 8K30P@12bit
- 8K60p@10bit
- 4K60p@12bit
- FHD300P@10bit
Full Frame Sensor 2: (Could be for Sony a7S III or a7 IV)
- 36MP
- 10FPS@16bit
- 60FPS@10bit
- on-chip PDAF
Some more info about these two sensors:
1: Weighted pixel binning: improve the image quality when shooting videos with pixel binning. Already featured in a lot of Sony sensors.
2: A new dual-gain ADC mode: improve the dynamic range by almost 2 stops. The sensor loses 50% speed when using it. Details not known yet. Already in X-T3’s sensor.
3: Digital Overlap HDR (DOL-HDR): It’s like bracketing, but you can shoot 2 frames almost at the same time! (The minimum time interval is only 1/6000 seconds). All the new sensors with 3.76um pixel size have this function.
