100dB single exposure DR

According to wikipedia, that's 33 stops of DR.  I realise that this spec probably doesn't directly relate to the DR the way that we would normally think of it, so we probably can't compare directly.

How does that compare with other sensors?  (assuming they measure the same thing?)

Or does it directly compare?  In which case, 33 stops of DR is A LOT more than an Alexa!!

More like 16.6 stops (divide by 6.02) at SNR of 1. So about 14+(more like 14.6) stops. Great, regardless, and close to Alexa territory.

Dual native ISO 40 & 160

The low ISO indicates that the sensor isn't meant for ILCs, but rather for cinema cameras(?).

Maybe that is for stills? I know on the Panasonic S1 for stills 100 iso is like native (highest dynamic range) where in video its 640. 

14.6 stops would be Alexa level probably beyond depending on how pleasing the noise is. 

The thing that pushes the Alexa above the rest is not dynamic range but color science especially in terms of how pleasing and accurate the color is when over and under exposed. Even if the Alexa is noisy asf at -5 exposure the colors are still pleasing and the noise is pretty nice. 

Either way sounds like a great sensor. Would love to see it in a fuji with internals ND's and raw. 🤩 or a new Samsung camera??

There is nothing on the press release site Samsung Tomorrow about the new sensor and the photo @androidladuses is of the old sensor... I did a google reverse image search on it

The photo is of the original S5KVB2 announced in 2014, you don't even have to reverse image search it, the URL is right there.

Samsung haven't announced this refresh yet.
