You can get an A7S3.

The sensor does 120fps at Full Res, 12-bit, which would be great for both Photography as well as for Shooting RAW video. 

"Each pixel readout method deployment for the specific mode (1) Normal, (2) Phase difference, (3) Single pixel, (4) HDR ◆ H driver, V driver and serial communication circuit on chip ◆ 10 bits / 12 bits A/D converter on chip ◆ 14 lane (8 lane + 6 lane) SLVS-EC output ◆ R, G, B primary color mosaic filters on chip (Quad Bayer structure)."

I am not sure what this HDR in (4) is supposed to imply? Will it have better HDR, and perhaps something on the lines of what's on Smartphones, given the much faster readout?

Also, why it Quad Bayer mentioned? For a 20MP sensor? Will it UpRes, like on QuadBayer sensors with larger CFAs? 

The HDR is simultaneous dual-gain readout of each pixel, it's for stills mode only.

Quad Bayer for this sensor is 2 x2 OCL for each pixel for cross-type on-chip AF.

I edited the pic. Looks slightly smaller than a GH5 (?)

 

There's also a red front record button on GH6 just like S1H, if you know where to look.

5720 x 4290

Completely revamped DFD AF that's on par with, and sometimes better than A7S III.

What the specs never say is the bit depth used to scan the sensor. When stills are taken one might expect the full bit-depth is used (14-bit?). But in video mode, to reduce rolling shutter, a read-out mode with reduced bit-depth may be used. For 8-bit log or gamma-corrected recordings a 10 bit (lineair) read mode might be used. If that same 10-bit linear mode is used to create a 10-bit log, the quality wouldn't be much better than with an 8-bit log except for reduction of round-off errors.

Sony sensors use linear 12bit ADC readout in video mode.

There’s another new Fuji Rumours post about the “monstrous” X-H2 in 2022,
predicting a new sensor & processor for 8K.

What new APS-C sensors will do 8K video?

and will any of them do 59.94p at 8K?

There are two prototypes being developed, one is 8k capable and the other is not.

Spec sheet:

Same sensor as original GH5, IMX272

Actually many of us will be pleasantly surprised when X-H2 arrives. Mark my word.

Further proof and implicit suggestion from Canon that R3 sensor is sourced from Sony Semicon.

Sony A1 scores 13.2 stops, not that far behind.

R3 sensor is likely to be manufactured by Sony Semicon:

Use CineMatch plugin to generate LUTs to match.

I‘ve seen the prototype, while definitely not 20 stops by ARRI standard, it's still a huge step up due to the multiple gain output.

Surprise announcement:

Canon R5 will be able to output 8K 30P ProRes RAW via HDMI.

It doesn't and cannot output 48fps via HDMI, it's not in HDMI spec.

Based on information from multiple sources, Canon originally planned to announce this camera as R1. However the Sony A1 was completely unexpected and too competitive. So Canon made a strategic decision to reposition this camera as R3, buying time to develop R1 that can truly compete with A1.

The pixel-binned image from the GFX 100 is very good. Not soft, and aliasing not too bad either. One of the best pixel binned images.

GFX100 and GFX100S do not use any pixel-binning. Horizontally it uses full readout of 11604 pixels (possible because of Sony sensors column-parallel ADC), vertically it line-skips 2/3 resulting in 4352 pixels. Then this 11604 x 4352 image is over-sampled to 4K.

10bit D-Log and 10bit HLG. Maximum bitrate 150Mbps.

Define “very soft,” because I’ve seen my stuff on theater screens which have only ever been 2K, and it looked fantastic. 3883X2912 is very comfortably over sampled if delivering a 4096X1716 DCP, even if it’s “soft.”

You misunderstood.

Pixel-binning has a strong anti-aliasing effect (blurring). Especially so for a 3 x 3 pattern.

The sensor is capable of 3 x 3 pixel-binned 3882 x 2912 at 30fps from full width and height of the sensor. Fujifilm simply did not implement this. Also it does not sound as enticing as "over-sampled 4K" in marketing.

Also because of the 3 x 3 pixel-binning, the image will be very soft.
