hoodlum Posted November 7, 2023 Share Posted November 7, 2023 It is just being announced live by Sony. Ā At only 24mp there will be no 8k.

Al Dolega Posted November 7, 2023 Share Posted November 7, 2023 Exciting! Been waiting for a global shutter hybrid for years. Would love to have no rolling shutter and an unlimited flash sync speed. Now I just have to wait about five more years until it's available at a price point I can afford, and from Panasonic š kye, ntblowz, solovetski and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcio Kabke Pinheiro Posted November 7, 2023 Share Posted November 7, 2023 Holy shit. Ā 4k120 without crop with global shutter. If the DR problems of global shutter were avoided, they just laid the foundation for the future sensor tech. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sanveer Posted November 7, 2023 Share Posted November 7, 2023 "Shutter speed is freed from the limitations of conventional mechanical shutter image sensors and achieves a maximum shutter speed of 1/80,000 second (1/16,000 second during continuous shooting), making it possible to capture at high speed without any distortion." Powering the camera is the Bionz XR processing engine, promising eight times more power than the a9 Mark IIās processor." INSANE !!!

Ā I thought 1st April arrived late or early.Ā The current CPU used since A7RV is quite hot (literally), look at overheating E1/A6700/A7CII.. It definitely need to wait for the next gen cpu to catchup in terms of performance and thermal issue. But A1 and A7SIII finally getting firmware update, SIII finally get 24p and breathing compensation. Ā sanveer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almost all major prosumer Sony cameras overheat I guess. Maybe the ones where the node size is too large, that lacks a heatsinks, or fan or some other issues. Sony doesn't care for overheating. This one shoots 120fps at 24MP, but for only 1.5-1.6 seconds or something. Guess that means that their RAM isn't really huge. Also, it could probably be used to cook in the winters during shoots š ntblowz, Davide DB and solovetski 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sanveer Posted November 7, 2023 Share Posted November 7, 2023 That's so true.Ā It's like the diacussion in one of the threads about overheating in ILCs. Companies need to get serious about heat management. Especially in any camera above $1000.Ā Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Calabros Posted November 7, 2023 Share Posted November 7, 2023 Famous Sony footnotes kicks again: Sync speed with "External" flash is 1/500.

This technology is the future and will result in the end of mechanical shutters once it becomes more broadly available and common. The only thing is, I feel we have peaked a bit. Sony a1 still does everything I need and it's hard to see what on the specs sheet needs to change. Of more value to me would be a big change in shooting concept and more imaginative design, rather than this game of constantly escalating numbers and speeds.

It has S-LOG for starters! š The sensor does 6K but unlike Fuji, Canon and Panasonic, Sony have chosen not to give us it. Codec is capped to 4K, oversampled. Surely with a global shutter design, the sensor is destined for cinema cameras, which could be why we don't see the full capabilities of it in the a9 II. Market segmentation, and battery power / heat management / image processing limits all at play here. It's still a very exciting tool and clearly a step up from the a7s III. However I am keen to see whether global shutter hurts low light performance, and dynamic range, when the first reviews come out.

But unlikely Iād have thought because if Sony are holding back for their cinema line, they are not going to allow the likes of any new S1 line to eat their lunch. sanveer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
androidlad Posted November 7, 2023 Share Posted November 7, 2023 Some of the features not mentioned during the press release but appeared in Chinese marketing material: Multi-frame RAW noise-reduction (Combining up to 32 RAW burst stills for one noise-free RAW still) Custom LUT import for video Lens breathing compensation in video mode It's expected to ship in China around end of January 2024. Early testers commented on the dynamic range to have taken a "slight but noticeable" hit due to global shutter design, hence the limited native ISO range of 250 to 25600.

Again, its new for us, but its not new in CMOS sensor industry. Global shutter is usually capped at almost 12 stop DR. With smaller pixel will be even worse. Even Chinese are making them. But the question is why they didn't use the hybrid solution that a single sensor can use both rolling shutter for maximum quality, and global shutter for speed. They have lots of patents for that solution.Ā Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
