Like how a doctor might analyse a mentally ill patient’s brain to give him clues about how a ‘normal’ brain functions, we turn our attention to the $9000 Sigma SD1.
Now we know much more about the Sony F65’s sensor. The design of the new 8K CMOS sensor in the leading edge Sony CineAlta F65 takes technology first developed for consumer camcorder hardware.
A CMOS sensor destined for consumer A/V has been released – featuring a global shutter. The sensor is destined to be used in high end consumer video cameras, sports cameras (the company supplies on-board cameras for F1 cars) and industrial cameras where a perfect image with no distortion, and high frame rates are necessities.

Interesting to pick up on some of Sony’s Broadcast CTO Hugo Gaggion’s presentation at NYC 2010 HD World, via Image Sensors World.
The Sony F3 will have a dedicated Super 35 video sensor with huge pixels – can DSLRs compete? With news from Sony that the F3 has a built anew Exmor Super 35 2k sensor unrelated to DSLRs comes an interesting dilemma for DSLR users. I’ve been doing some research into the pixel sizes (and light gathering ability) of the leading video DSLRs.
It appears the Sony F3’s sensor has a few tricks up it’s sleeve relative to the cheaper AF100. Sony Japan say their Super 35mm Exmor CMOS in the upcoming F3 is completely new and has pixels which are 4x the size of typical DSLR CMOS ones. Approximately 12 microns sized versus as little as 3 microns on APS-C DSLRs (according to Sony). The Canon 5D Mark II has a much…
