Sony presented a new 3 Layer Organic sensor

Image Sensor World spotted this new Sony IEDM 2019 paper describing a new Sony 3-Layer Organic+Si Sensor:

“A three-layer stacked color image sensor was formed using an organic film. The sensor decreases the false color problem as it does not require demosaicing. Furthermore, with the 2.0-μm pixel image sensor, improved spectral characteristics owing to green adsorption by the organic film above the red/blue photodiode, were successfully demonstrated.”

Sony is working onboth Glbal Shutter and 3 Layer sensor solutions. oth technologies would allow quite a big leap forward in terms of Image Quality on Alpha Cameras!

The day has finally come: Sony A7 marked as discontinued at BHphoto and Adorama!

Announced back on Oct 16, 2013 the Sony A7 has now been officially marked as discontinued at BHphoto and Adorama. You can still get the camera via third party sellers on Amazon. Still, this is the end for a glorious camera. Seven years after the very basic design concept is still alive in the new A7rIV and A9II cameras.

Would be nice if Sony would attempt to finally give us a completely different kind of Full Frame camera design too. But I guess that within a shrinking market it’s wise to stay focused on what works.
