With this sensor you can build your own 4k camera

All you will need, is a two million dollar clean room, 20 top of the line engineers and color scientist, a rectangular box design, a slogan like "game changer", and company named after any color, (Like violet or purple).
PS you will also need to have Jarred an create awesome web forum that would take up your customers social time when they are not shooting or editing.

a little humor to calm us during these tragic times.

Actually rumour has it that Nikon might be using that sensor in their next DLSR (apparently they used a previous Aptina sensor in their recently released V1). Nikon has a name, clean room, over 20 engineers and colour scientists, and slogans!

More likely an update to Nikon's 1 series.

It would be nice if other manufacturers decided to use the sensor too - Nikon's 1 series camera is unlikely to shoot raw video or do 80fps 4K.

How about a machine vision camera manufacturer? Point Grey would be nice since their stuff has a good priceerformance ratio.

Nikon!! I thought they used Sony sensors.

Nikon!! I thought they used Sony sensors.

They've been outsourcing their sensor fabrication (and design) to other vendors besides Sony now.

Humour aside, this sensor is amazing. Has the same DR as dragon, effectively...

For many larger DSLRs, yes, they use Sony.

But the current Nikon 1-series uses the exact predecessor Aptina chip named in the press release.

So this is virtually guaranteed to be in the next 1-series at least.

where did you deduce that?

 

[Pablo Moreno]

Aptina and Sony crossed-licensed technologies for what I read somewhere..

If there is one thing that the big guy has, is aggressive business people..

Also, These guys , they don't have 20 top of the line engineers and color scientist or Jarred like you said, but they are doing it..

 

[Ivan Kovax]

where did you deduce that?

I looked at where it said dynamic range and compared the decibels to what is listed for dragon...

I am sorry, but no Jarred there

Nikon has confirmed that tge J1 uses a older Aptina chip and that it can do 4k 60fps. Just waiting for somebody to make use of it I suppose. $399 4kp60 straight out to a drive raud is a more realistic price of professional 4k.

Apparently Sony was eager to get hold of Aptinas high speed readout tech. Sony has been doing high speed for years, the furst exmor had it, so why, just better, lower noise;-?



@Slash, there are lens with sensors inbuilt you could use. Richo does it, but there is a new pkayer coming out.
