We all know Sony officially stated they have successfully developed a Full Frame curved sensor (article here). But if they will ever release a camera with it is written in the stars yet.
But if you ever wondered how a stabilization system could work on a curved sensor than watch this patent published by Microsoft (details here). Image sensor world reports that:
The main idea is that the curved sensor or lens need to be rotated with respect to each other, rather than shifted like in a regular flat sensor OIS
As simple as that ;)
And it is also possible to design zoom lenses for curved sensors. CA-based Optiz proposes a solution you can see at Image Sensor World.

Great work!
Brianandcamera created that illustration to show the resolution difference between the new Phase One 101 Megapixel Sony sensor and the rest of the digital world. Brian writes:
I had a bit of trouble wrapping my head around it. I currently shoot on a 24MP body and the difference between their old camera and the new (80 -> 100) was basically my camera. I wanted a frame of reference, so I dug up some filesize information and created the guide below. I grabbed one of the 100MP tiffs and compared the dimensions:
There is also a massive original non resized version posted by PetaPixel on Flickr.

The developer of the M-mount to E-mount autofocus adapter contacted me yesterday to share some more info:
Just to let you know that we will be officially distributing the coming new Techart Leica M -> Sony E autofocus adapter globally. We are now in the stage of pilot run for a small batch and it should be ready by mid/end Jan if everything goes smooth.
If SAR readers have any question please comment this post and I am sure the developer will answer you!
