Sony announces the third Generation Global Shutter Sensors

Sony announced the new generation Pregious sensors featuring 4.5um pixel and faster frame rates:

And a long list of new industry sensors have been added on Sony’s site: sony-semicon.co.jp/products_en/IS/sensor0/products/cmos.html.

Note that all the sensors listed here are not meant to be used by classic photocameras. There is for example a new 1 inch monochrome sensor on this list that will be used by surveillance cameras. Surely not by any RX :) It has those specs:

Supports 20.48M-pixel readout at 21.98 frame/s in 12-bit mode
Supports a global reset function
Supports 4K video mode (4096H × 2160V, 10-bit mode, 59.94 frame/s)
Supports a variety of readout modes such as 10-bit high-speed all-pixel readout, 12-bit high-resolution readout, and vertical arbitrary cropping
High-sensitivity back-illuminated structure 2.4μm square unit pixel with a proven record in products for security camera and industrial applications
