Many already know that Sony is a significant player in the image sensor space, but a new Sony Imaging and Sensing Solutions Segment report offers exciting insights into the stranglehold Sony has on the image sensor industry and how the company views the smartphone market moving forward.
Sony Semiconductor Solutions (SSS) announced a new 247-megapixel medium-format image sensor roughly the same size as the 100- and 150-megapixel sensors in the Phase One IQ4 digital backs and the Hasselblad H6D series.
Apple is reportedly interested in building on the success of the M-series processors and bringing the design of multiple other components in-house, including camera sensors.
Last month, Fujifilm held one of its X Summit events, using the occasion to launch the Fujifilm GFX100 II. The new flagship medium-format camera has attracted significant attention, and with good reason. However, the camera is enigmatic regarding high-speed shooting performance and dynamic range.
While the interchangeable lens camera market is on the upswing, the mobile market is going the other way. Sony, which makes the majority of sensors for mobile, doesn't think that will change for another year.
Respected Apple industry analyst Ming-Chi Kuo reports that Apple's iPhone 16 series smartphones expected to release next year will feature a stacked rear camera sensor design.
A new report from TechInsights confirms that the Nikon Z9 sensor is made by Sony, a fact that does not matter at all.
