Funny that they shoot film simulations at DR100 and complain about the limited dynamic range.

Oh ok. Is there more than one Medium Format 43.8×32.9mm sized 100MP sensor available right now? Or in suspected to release in the very near future? 

100MP 44 x 33 IMX461 is the latest one. We might see a 170MP one in 2021.

IMX555 is a FF sensor and won't be out till 2020.

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.

This is exactly what happens when pan axis is locked, instead of follow.

Apparently @MaxYuryev just joined, welcome ?

A leaked slide, relevant?

Sounds like the pan axis is locked.

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.

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

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

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)

First proper video I've shot on the GFX 100:

Didn't have much to knock this together, but the camera did a pretty respectable job, especially as the last two shots are at 2000 ISO. The whole video was shot in Eterna.

Unfortunately, the DR+ profile did not seem to be functioning properly, so blacks were quite crushed in the captured footage, unlike what I was seeing in my histogram and external monitor. I'm optimistic that this will be fixed when we get production cameras.
 

Nice work. Are you sure the crushed blacks wasn't caused by this?

Did you edit the GFX100 footage on Mac?

Cropped 2.39:1 just doesn't look as authentic and visceral as true anamorphic cinemascope. X-T3 is capable of full open gate 6240x4160 12bit readout at 30fps, with 31ms rolling shutter, if combined with 1.5x anamorphic lenses it'd be a dream setup.

I just doubt its going to happen considering prores RAW has been 12 bit not 14. Nikon hasn't hinted at anything more. 

ProRes RAW can be 14bit, DJI Zenmuse X7 records certain resolution/framerates in 14bit ProRes RAW. It's no higher than 24P.

But for the sensor Z6 is using, it cannot achieve video frame rate using 14bit ADC.

It's not impossible. Nikon and especially Canon are doing similar task for their sRAW for years, though the result is softer than native lower resolution image. The problem is it needs significant and constant CPU processing which Z6 is not designed for. 

 

sRAW is not true RAW, it’s debayered.

If it's true RAW then it's impossible to do 4K from 6K sensor without crop.

I'd be up for a S35 or Full frame Global shutter variant... If priced well. That would make these cameras into a micro Sony F55.

Sony Semicon ain't gonna allow that to happen.

So the nikon z6 is now around 12 stops. but with the raw update beeing raw and all, and photo's are 14 stops of DR. We will get 14 stops of DR out of the nikon Z6 right?  Which would make this a 2,5K $ FF raw camera(with the atamos recorder included). Which is even only half the price of the zcam F6. This could be the next best thing and blows everything in the near range out of the water, or am I missing something here. What are the downsides of the Z6, as I never used it or saw it really? (I have a shitton EF glass, are there decent adapters out there?)

In stills mode the camera uses 14bit ADC readout and has a DR of 13.45EV at base gain.

Video mode switches to 12bit ADC readout so DR can't be over 12EV unless there's some additional on-chip NR.

trying again, maybe i'll get more luck this time.

still can't trigger the camera with my nucleus nano and my moza air 2, has anyone found a cable than can trigger the cam ?

There's a cable for Moza Air 2 to trigger X-T3 via E3 port on the right side of the camera:

In case you haven't noticed, the "XT" in IMX461XTK-C stands for "X-Trans".

The prototype of a video-centric variant - GFX100V is currently being tested in Austria. It uses a speed optimised model of the 100MP MF sensor IMX461XTK with advanced readout methods (including no crop 4:3 output for 2x anamorphic lenses).

IBIS is absent.

Fuji announced the XT3 will be getting 240fps this summer, which is a huge plus. 

180fps coming from a full frame sensor on the S1 is probably really nice though

240fps is not the only thing that's coming ?

I am well aware of what a processor is. Are you?

Having processors and having processors capable of handling the data stream within a cameras thermal envelope are two completely different things. That is why camera's video capabilities are usually limited. It is not an issue with the sensor, the processors can't handle the data throughput without overheating. That is where the bottleneck is.

Panasonic have the most efficient processors (which is why they usually have the most advanced video capabilities in smaller cameras - sensors have nothing to do with it, everyone's sensors are capable of far more than what the processor can handle). After them comes Sony. Nikon are a way back from that and Canon are in the far distant rear.

They do however design them.

Apple doesn't make anything itself. But it does design everything that is made for them.

With newer generation sensors capable of more on-chip capabilities such as on-chip binning, on-chip oversampling and so on, the sheer power of processors is starting to become irrelevant.

And no, Sony design the sensors, Nikon and Apple buy them off-the-shelf, they do make minor customisations. Fujifilm swapped the standard Bayer mask to X-Trans and that's the biggest customisation Sony ever allowed.

If you buy a car and do a custom paint, can you say you designed the car?

Would not an Apple/Nikon partnership in imaging make sense?

Nikon is a great name in optics, but has no real partner in digital or electronics, while Apple has those, but is not a player in optics.

A hookup would avoid the humiliation of Nikon going to Samsung or Sony for their electronics and systems integration, plus Apple could fund Nikon from their petty change account.

Neither Nikon nor Apple makes image sensors, they all go to Sony Semicon.

The 2nd last image at the bottom of the page is a Canon 8k Camera of the Cinema line (obviously). It video seems to be fed into the new Mac too.

OP is talking about the nature demo footage shot in Kenya. 

Cinematographer Mark Toia has confirmed that it was shot on RED Monstro 8K.
