The megapixel race seems to have shifted from photography towards video the last couple of years. As stills camera resolutions are approaching levels that very few will ever actually need, video is the next logical step. 4K has already usurped 1080p for most new cameras coming out today, and 4K TV sales are seemingly on the rise. So, where next?
CMOSIS, the company that supplied sensors for the Leica M Typ 420, have announced a new VMC50000 48MP CMOS full frame image sensor. It supports shooting 8K at 30 frames per second, with a 4K pixel binning 60fps option. The press release did initially say that it was a medium format sensor, but the specs list says it’s full frame 35mm, and the press release has been updated to reflect this.
