Seems like it will be for surveillance and automotive industry first, not sure when will it implant to their camera

It took them half a dozen of years for this, I hope in another half, they will have a working prototype camera.

I believe Fuji helped a bit in the design too, if I remember right. Instead of spending resources in todays technology, those two skipped a generation and go for touch down.

Where is Sony with their groundbraking technologies? I am sure there will be a huge tech war, because sensors are the future, and everyone -except Sony and Samsung - were left quite a bit behind. Exciting times!
