In the next few days Sony is rumored to announce a new DSC-KW1 compact camera with Exmor RS sensor (the world’s first stacked CMOS image sensor). Here are the specs:
Sony announced the development of a new Exmor RS sensor: The “Exmor RS” is a CMOS image sensor that adopts a unique ‘stacked structure.’ This structure layers the pixel section, containing formations of back-illuminated pixels over the chip affixed with mounted circuits for signal processing, in place of conventional supporting substrates used for back-illuminated CMOS image sensors.
