There's no temporal element to any of the HDR features in new Sony sensors, it just won't work for high speed imaging.

The 605K e- FWC at base is simply achieved by hexa-gain readout. Period.

 

IMX490, an 1/1.55" automotive sensor, achieves up to 760Ke- with only 3um photosite.

What exactly is a "hexa-gain readout"?

Sony's new line of professional imaging sensors, Exmor GS, has entered mass production:

This is a new additional to Sony Semicon's current sensor line-up for consumer/professional imaging:

Exmor R (Reverse/BSI)

Exmor RS (BSI + Stacking)

will Exmor GS make its way into Sony A6500, A7sII and A9 successors?

I would assume if it made it into mass production it’s for the production of products mostly likely professional cameras.

EDIT: looks like misty industrial applications.

That press release was from 2015.

A hint: Exmor sensors are used in smartphone cameras, consumer/prosumer DSLR/mirrorless cameras, and cinema cameras.

Oh lol. I didn’t see a date on it on the mobile version of the site. It’s in a footnote at the bottom. My bad.

A leaked slide, relevant?

Thanks for all the info. You are bringing valuable insight in sensors and other specialized subjects.

Do you think it's likely Sony will sell Exmor GS sensors to Panasonic (GH6) and Fujifilm (X-H2)?

No. It's a speed-oriented sensor line-up with the elimination of mechanical shutter mechanism in mind. And it'll likely to be Sony exclusive for a while.

I'm fairly sure X-H2 will move onto the 2.91um gen 43MP Exmor R.

[Andrew Reid]

43MP APS-C sensor... I'd never thought I'd see one!

The X-H1 used the X-T2 innards so I would have thought the X-H2 will go for X-T3 sensor at 26MP... after all stills resolution not that useful for video shooters.

I'd like Sony to do a NEX 9... We never got one.. Just some poxy A6xx cameras.

[kye]

4k 120p sure would be nice!

I'm shooting a lot of 1080 120p now football season has started, and although my vintage 70-210mm F4 and 2X TC probably only have 1080p resolution, it would be nice to get a 4K image to downscale and get proper 1080 output.

? Thank you @androidlad

When do you estimate Sony will ship an APS-C and full-frame mirrorless camera with Exmor GS sensor?

@androidlad before I get excited further ?, what is dynamic range of Exmor GS, please?

[JurijTurnsek]

Not to be a party-pooper, but has @androidlad ever predicted any actually released product so far? I would love to believe, but these spec sheet drooling is getting out of hand.

I believe one of the first Exmor GS sensors is 42MP FF IMX651, DR is similar to A9.

13.3 Stops is pretty respectable for a Global Shutter Sensor. I am guessing Sony will have some interesting HDR tricks to ensure both photo and video have multiple frames for improving video and image quality. 

[Gianluca]

So a9ii will have 42 megapixel x 25-30 fps? Wow
