Well this is exciting! Sony announced the world’s first range of global shutter sensors. This list inlcudes a new 20 Megapixel Global Shutter sensor! Damn I can see Olympus using this on their new OMD camera! Those are some incredible specs:

Description

The IMX367LLA is a diagonal 21.6 mm (Type 4 / 3) CMOS active pixel type solid-state image sensor with a square

pixel array and 19.66 M effective pixels. This chip features a global shutter with variable charge-integration time. This

chip operates with analog 3.3 V, digital 1.2 V, and interface 1.8 V triple power supply, and has low power consumption.

High sensitivity, low dark current and low PLS characteristics are achieved.

(Applications: FA cameras, ITS cameras)
