Sony Sensor Destined for Hi Speed Camera?

SonySensor

A rumored Sony sensor  part code IMX189AEG  has been captivating the camera rumor world last week. The specs seem almost like a fictionalized version of a wish list but it may well be not only real but a sign of things to come in sensor technology. The sensor specs are as follows:

  • 6K Video at 240fps
  • 2K Video at up to 16,000fps 16 bit
  • 1080p  max 24,000fps
  • 1.5″ Sensor Close to Micro 4/3ds size
  • 4.85 megapixels using Active Pixel Color Sampling
  • Global Shutter
  • Native ISO of 5120
  • Max ISO 655,360

Sony PXW-FS7 180fps Samples Surface!

The Sony PXW-FS7  Pro camera besides the 4k up to 30p spec also offers a great 180fps slow motion mode at 1080p continuous.  We expected the quality to be as good or better than the FS700 and it was the right call.  The quality of the slow motion is extremely good and uses a better XAVC codec; And will position for now the FS7 in the 3rd spot of the camera list guide right behind the FS700 displacing the GH4 to 4th place.
