Has Pana just killed Sony, and pretty much everybody else?

Pretty hard to tell at this stage. Everybody wants global shutter, but everybody wants dynamic range, film-like hilight rolloff, great color and low light performance more. This tech seems to suggest that they’re doing two shutters that combine the tech Red uses in their motion mounts with a traditional rolling shutter behind it. That would work, but it’s almost surely going to cause some light loss, so it will be interesting to see what the ISO response and noise levels look like.
Interesting announcement for sure.
As for Sony’s announcement, on the other hand, I think you called it just about right. It’s a 1.5K sensor, or something like that, so it’s either a proof of concept or a it’s intended for machine vision or some other use, certainly not digital cinematography.
