Dell has taken notice of the modern need for better webcams than come stock with most computers and has announced a new 4K, HDR, AI-powered option that uses a Sony low-light sensor that was originally designed for use in industrial cameras.
Sony has announced that it is close to releasing the IMX661, a 127.68-megapixel "large format" sensor with a global shutter. While aimed at the industrial market, this sensor can be seen as an indication that Sony is capable of releasing a global shutter sensor for the consumer market.
Nikon has announced the development of a 17.84 million pixel, 1-inch stacked CMOS sensor that can shoot "high-resolution images" at up to 1,000 frames per second in shoot 4K and promises a particularly impressive wide dynamic range.
