The Chinese company Qhyccd has announced the first camera using the new Sony 60 Megapixel Full Frame sensor. This is a scientific camera but the news matters because the sensor specs were leaked here months ago. This makes it even more likely that all the leaked Sony sensors info we posted here are correct:
New XEVC 8K codec (article and detailed images here):
8k at 24fps, 12 bit and 240Mbps peak bitrate.
New Full Frame sensors:
IMX555 is a new 102MP 6K sensor (article here)
IMX435 is a new 36Mp 8K sensor (article here)
IMX551 is a new 60MP 8k sensor (article here)
IMX455 is a stripped down version of the IMX551 (article here).
APS-C sensors (article and detailed specs here):

Dpreview had a chat with Elliot Shih, Senior Product Manager of Zeiss:
– ZX1 development initiaded four years ago
– ZX1 is made for photographers that need a fast workflow but at the same time superb image quality, which our sensor and lens can deliver.
– ZX1 design and development are completely in-house. Zeiss is using some external partners to support certain functions, for example the realization of the industrial design, and the design of the user experience (SAR note: I guess it’s Sony)
– ZX1 pricing will be in the same range as the Leica Q, Sony RX1R II.
– It will not have an open APP system (only some APP’s made with partners like Adobe).
