Dario:GH4 with Carl Zeiss Mirotar 500mm f8 shot in 4k. Very rewarding lens, very compact, the fix aperture make it a little hard to use, no ND filter can be placed in front, because for some reason became impossible to focus correctly. But spring is here. https://vimeo.com/123563319

Olympus shows a new 3D Stacked 16MP Global Shutter Sensor with 2Mpixel 10000fps Mode!

olympus3dsensor
VLSI symposium published the PDF program of their June event in Kyoto. The program discloses a new Olympus sensor that will be presented on that event:

—-

A 3D Stacked CMOS Image Sensor with 16Mpixel Global-Shutter Mode and 2Mpixel 10000fps Mode Using 4 Million Interconnections
T. Kondo, Y. Takemoto, K. Kobayashi, M. Tsukimura, N. Takazawa, H. Kato, S. Suzuki, J. Aoki, H. Saito, Y. Gomi, S. Matsuda and Y. Tadaki, Olympus, Japan

A 16Mpixel 3D stacked CMOS image sensor with pixel level interconnections using 4,008,960 micro bumps at a 7.6μm pitch, which set no layout restriction and causes no harm to sensor characteristics, was developed to achieve both a 16Mpixel global-shutter mode with a -180dB PLS and 2Mpixel 10000fps high speed image capturing mode.

There is no other detail unveiled about the new sensor. But it certainly sounds like a hell of a sensor! Wish this one could find his way in the new E-M1II !!!
