[Rumor] Sony To Release Game Changing Sensor Technology With An New APC Sensor
Sony Alpha Rumors shared a juicy tidbit this morning when they announced Sony may be developing a new sensor Sony has dubbed the Active Pixel Color Sampling Sensor (APCS). Sony Alpha Rumors gave the rumor a SR4 rating, meaning the rumor came from trusted sources and will most likely be confirmed. It is expected Sony will make an announcement regarding the APCS in 2015, and as promising as the leaked spec sheets makes the sensor tech look, it might be worth the wait.
They show the rumored spec sheet - what stands out is the capacity to do full 2K video (2048 X 1080) at 16,000 frames per second and 4K (6144 X 2160) at 240 FPS. 16,000 FPS is fast enough to photograph a bullet in flight. I love doing time-lapse photography - been doing it a lot. What I would also love is to do is high-speed photography. Now it looks like this is becoming affordable.
