Surprise! Truesense (ex-Kodak) announces a new Four Thirds sensor with Global Shutter (and Monochrome version too!)
Back in 2011 Truesenseimaging was acquired by Platinum Equity through a transaction with Kodak. And one year after the acquisition they surprised us by announcing a new Four Thirds sensors! You can download the full specs as pdf (Click here). And there are some very intriguing specs. First this sensor is available in both Color and Monochrome version! I am probably among one of these few guys that would like to own a Monochrome MFT camera. The sensor also features global shutter.
Here are the key features:
- Global shutter and rolling shutter
- Very fast frame rate
- High NIR sensitivity
- Multiple regions of interest
- Interspersed video streams

What is the strategy behind this? Are we going to see a Panasonic or Olympus camera featuring this sensor???
