Sony patented a new kind of sensor having four different pixels: Red, Blue, Green and the new Clean (or White) pixel. The pixels are ordered in an oblique array system. This allows Sony to reach a 20% higher transmittance which means you will get a Higher Dynamic range and a Higher ISO performance. Of course the downside is that you will need many more pixels on the sensor.

It’s unclear yet where Sony plans to use that new tech.

The Nikon Z9 is seriously challenging the A1. It’s cheaper and in some aspects it beats the A1 performance. If you hope Sony will release a new A1 in 2022 well, forget it. The A1 won’t be replaced at least before end 2023. But the camera will get some major firmware updates and possibly a new price drop too. So please let Sony know what you want to be seen on a future A1 fw update by commenting this post!
