The new Panasonic Lumix S1rII is rumored to use a new 44MP Sony sensor. Here are the impressive specs! -
As you know, Sony released the 44MP IMX366 sensor 1-2 years ago. This is a fast sensor that may or may not appear in the new Sony A7V in the future. My gut tells me that the A/V will still keep the 33MP resolution... But I heard an interesting competitor rumor: Panasonic will release a new S1rII next week with a brand new 44MP sensor. I’m guessing this will be a variation of Sony’s new IMX366 sensor, and the rumored specs are pretty impressive.
Here are the full specs for the Panasonic Lumix S1RII:
New 44MP “high-speed” sensor
40fps burst shooting with electronic shutter
