This is a medium format sensor. There are no Sony Medium format cameras, yet. The issue will be the lenses of a quality to realise that level of resolution, big glass will be eye wateringly expensive. Ironically a 45mp sensor with pixel shift could give you the same resolution, but outside of very special applications, I don’t know what you would do with it as the eye can’t resolve close to that level.
Sony doesn't make medium format cameras yet. The main challenge is finding lenses good enough for that resolution, which will be very expensive. Interestingly, a 45MP sensor with pixel shift can achieve similar results, but for most uses, the eye can't even see that much detail!
@@davidgifford8112 Leica/Zeiss lenses. There is always a need for more megapixels. Advertisements, fashion photography, product photography, landscape, etc. cropping, grading. Print campaigns/billboards/VR imaging. List goes on and on.
The tech is exciting to me, but this AI generated video is total trash.
Thank you for your Comment
I own a Hasselblad X2D 100C and I'm blown away by the images taken far away. It looks nice and crisp as If it was shot up close when cropping and I can only imagine what 240 megapixels can do. Yes, this will give any lens a telephoto and macro boost on steroids.
But... but... 8 MP is all you need! (Remember those morons?)
Fantasy island.
Thank you for your Comment
Who needs it? I sold my Sony A7R4 because of too many pixels. It slowed down my post processing and needed too much storage space. 247 MP would be a nightmare. Only useful for very special tasks.
digital images can hang around for decades , everything will get significantly faster
@@blueishxx Agreed.
A bit boring , most people view images on smartphones and tablets, or monitors. The eye can’t resolve more than 300dpi , so all those pixels are largely pointless. Typically Sony innovation more must mean better , but doesn’t find any real world benefits for typical ise
While most people view images on phones and monitors, higher resolution can still improve detail for printing or cropping. More pixels can enhance image quality, especially for professionals.
@@TechTraveller01it’s technically correct assuming your lens can resolve that level of detail. However the limiting factor is the human eye. The general assumption is that we can’t resolve more than 300 dpi .We also need a viewing distance to properly comprehend what we are seeing. apples retina screen is a case in point, it exceeds human perceptual ability. The crop ability may be a benefit but most agree it’s better to frame the subject correctly and use an appropriate focal length lens than to crop.
I admire innovation but such resolution really does not offer any obvious benefits in other than exceptional circumstances, and even at that Sonys other high resolution sensors do such a good job.
I suspect I’m not alone in being skeptical about specs top trumps. Remember there was a thing about minimising the size of calculators. We got the point where you needed a tool just to push the buttons. There is a sweet spot in most engineering. For me it’s between 20mp and 60mp, after that unless you have very bespoke needs with very exceptional requirements there is no every day use reasons to need such resolution
I LL ORDER A SUPER CAMERA IN 20 YEARS NOW WITH 10 000 MEGAPIXELS 50K VIDEO WITH 10 BUILT IN FANS AS NEW FEATURES UPDATES ARE SO POOR NOW FOR A RESULT IN STILLS AND VIDEOS AROUND 0..
While it’s easy to imagine extreme specs in the future, current camera technology is still evolving meaningfully. Incremental updates may seem small, but improvements in sensor quality, autofocus, low-light performance, and video capabilities continue to enhance both stills and video results. Numbers like 10,000 megapixels or 50K video may sound impressive, but real-world performance and image quality improvements aren’t just about specs; they involve many factors working together.
Issue #1: Let's just take a look at one of your specs...10k MP. Those uncompressed RAW files would be about 21, 000MG (21GB each). A light day of shooting might produce 200 images. 200 x 21GB gives you 4100GB (4.1TB) for 1 day of shooting.
Issue #2: Lens technology is much older than digital technology and is progressing at a much slower pace as the laws of physics become an obstacle. It is very unlikely that a lens that is capable of adequately resolving that image would be developed in 20 years.
Issue #3. I can't imagine a single use case where a photographer would be able to make use of an image at that resolution.
You forgot to talk about which lens(es) is/are capable of handling 247MP.
Dear oh dear. Why?
If you take Piccadilly Circus and all those LED advertising I doubt between all of them they are using more than around 80 megabytes.if that.
But I wouldn't bother buying this because within 12 months I have something with a thousand megabyte sensor which obviously make this one rubbish and UA-cam influencers will be there to say how crap the last one was compared to the new one...
You’re right that the LED displays at places like Piccadilly Circus don’t require huge file sizes, probably under 80 megabytes combined. And it’s true that technology moves fast-within a year, we might see sensors with even higher megapixels.
Sony's sensors used by PhaseOne, Leica, Fujifilm GFX series and Hasselblad and many other cameras.. I think they'll don't use it in Sony cameras (just yet)
Sony makes some of the best camera sensors in the world, and brands like PhaseOne, Fujifilm (GFX series), and Hasselblad use them in their high-end cameras. However, it's interesting to note that Sony hasn't used these specific medium-format sensors in its own cameras yet. While Sony does produce excellent full-frame sensors for its Alpha series, it hasn't ventured into making medium-format cameras, even though it supplies the sensors to other brands that do.
No product. Talk is cheap.
Thank you for your Comment
Who needs 247 MP or 19 K? Are there lenses available to support this sensor resolution well?
No hay
Without the right lenses, the extra megapixels won't translate into better image quality. The sensor and lens need to work together to make the most of that resolution.
Samsing: Meet Galaxy S25 with its 16 Gigapixel camera
Samsung Galaxy S25 with an incredible 16-gigapixel camera! While the number sounds impressive, it's far beyond what most people actually need for everyday photos. However, this kind of technology could push the boundaries of zooming and capturing fine details, making it great for professionals or enthusiasts wanting extreme image clarity.
With a rolling shutter of 1000ms...
A rolling shutter of 1000ms would be extremely slow and cause noticeable distortion in moving subjects. It would make capturing fast action scenes difficult, leading to issues like skewed or "wobbly" images. For smooth and clear shots, faster rolling shutters are essential.
It would be great for large group pictures. Sony should get into the virtual reality and 360 cameras. I would love 16k 360 cameras, so I can zoom in
Sony should definitely explore virtual reality (VR) and 360-degree cameras. A high-resolution 16K 360-degree camera would be amazing for large group photos, allowing users to zoom in and capture incredible detail. With such technology, you could immerse yourself in every corner of the image, creating a more interactive and engaging experience. Sony's expertise in camera innovation makes it a great candidate to lead this field.
Why not make it square 🤔 or 645
Most displays, prints, and frames are designed for rectangular images, making it more practical for everyday photography. Changing to a square or 645 format would require different sensor designs and may not suit the preferences of most photographers who are accustomed to the traditional rectangular layout.
Elon Muk and Jeff basus are asking for a bank loan for the camera and a set of lenses.
hahaha
is this capable of macro where object field is less square mm than sensor ie l(ess/more,?) than 1:1
If the object field is smaller than the sensor, it provides more than 1:1 magnification, which is beyond standard macro capability.
This is topic for part 2 or for next video.
... Motorola has introduced a new 5G smartphone featuring a remarkable 473MP camera and a 6000mAh battery.
When do we get it
It's hard to say exactly, but with how fast technology is evolving, it could be soon. Sony is always working on new advancements, so we might not have to wait too long.

2:24 OMGGGGGGGG ITS NOT FILM WTF ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT SAYING ITLL COME IN COLOR AN MONOCHROME OMG THE WORST SCRIPTED AI CONTENT
f we draw an analogy based on the pixel density of a full-frame matrix, we get about 110 megapixels. For such a matrix, a lens with outstanding properties is needed (and, of course, an exorbitant price).
Sony wants to play olympus now 😉 anyway, 250MP+ or nothing.
It seems like Sony is aiming for Olympus-level innovation with these 250MP+ sensors! It’s a bold move, but it raises the question: is more megapixels really what everyone needs? Many photographers might prefer great quality over just high numbers.
@@TechTraveller01 of course people want more MP, because then they can use 40mm for everything. Even wildlife. Because it's easy to crop the 40mm to 1200mm without quality loss. Who needs tele lenses, when there's cropping.
This sensor will NEVER be found in any main-stream camera. It will always be a niche product. The image size alone makes it unreasonable for a typical photographer. There is no real need for it. When shooting portraits, photographers often find they need to soften images to avoid excessive details even when shooting 45MP.
Bla bla… 45mp too sharp..🤣🤣🤣🤣 my fuji gfx with 100mp is laughing about you.
@@castielvargastv7931 This video is talking about a sensor that has been out for a long time. The a6700 and newer cameras are using an improved 26mp sensor. Why do we get these dated videos? They do make great images. I have many that look great as prints. The questions is, where are these images going? Social Media? Then an 11mp sensor is all you need.
True. Pro here 35 years in the game - it will be a Pro choice fo sho - its still not even close to film 6X8 let alone 4x5 - we have used Phase One (150mp) and I currently use H6D400c (upto 400mp) for repro -and still please give us more - I have even bracketed exposures form Leica on Multishot (187mp) having shot 10x8 on transparency people fool themselves thinking digital is an improvement in quality - it just isnt - we are years away from that - and you are also right about digi being too sharp - thank goodness for the 'Clarity' slider in LRC!!!!
응 아니야
My Hasselblad X2D 100C with its 100mp sensor says otherwise. It’s an expensive camera, to be sure, but there are enough hobbyists (like me) using it - and medium format is just gorgeous.
Sensor is not in a Camera Body.
Without a sensor, a camera body wouldn't be able to capture images, as the sensor is the essential component for converting light into a digital image.
AI may reduce the perceived cutting-edge nature of certain sensor innovations.
Soon Samsung or Xiaomi will double it in phones , and people will buy it , thinking that mpx is make their picture better. Already they put 200mpx , so just wait to see 400, or 500 mpx if Sony allows it.
it's only a matter of time before the numbers go up, depending on Sony’s technology. However, more megapixels don’t always mean better pictures.
@@TechTraveller01
Yes, true. Too long text !!! I think that 6 mpx dslr and good sharp lens wold blow out of the water any 200 mpx phone, in probably most scenarios. I have seen some comparisons, and I think that's quite possible. I'm not saying 200 mpx is nad , or phones are bad , but soon there will way more phones with cameras in use , and also more enthusiast will go this way , and less , and less of people who knows, and care about how those things works, but they will do AI co-operation, in the phones instead of learning how mirrorles or dlsr are working.
Or Motorola- I had right 🤦🏻♂️ ...Motorola has introduced a new 5G smartphone featuring a remarkable 473MP camera and a 6000mAh battery.
Good luck with finding a computer than can edit the photos. And then as almost people consume media on screens with much lower resolution. then what's the point? It is simply making things up for the sake of it. No one needs this at all.
This sensor will herald THE END of having a bag full of lenses as the crop-ability of each image will negate the need for all those big telephoto pieces of glass. Given that you only need about 20 MP for a decent shot this sensor could save photographers a lot of money. Depending on price, I’d get one in a heartbeat and then lighten my camera bag. Cheers
You can crop high resolution portraits of group photos.
While the idea of not needing multiple lenses sounds great, even with a high-resolution sensor, lenses still play a key role in image quality. A single lens can't replace the versatility and specialized optics that different lenses offer, like wide-angle, macro, or telephoto effects.
I would like to see this sensor in the Fuji GFX camera.
That's a system shifter for sure. I'll sell my R5ii for this.
Be amazing for anything. Especially wildlife.
I think , you're really impressed by the new system, and you're even considering selling your Canon R5 II for it! With its capabilities, it would be amazing for a variety of photography, especially wildlife. The speed, image quality, and versatility likely make it a game-changer for capturing fast-moving subjects in nature.
Looking forward to the Hassy X3d with this new sensor
Hass are struggling to sell the X2D - and I bought 2 of them = a Hass 907CFV100c!!!! Pro and Ex Hass Ambassador here - heard it from the horses face
I’m excited for the Hasselblad X3D with its new sensor! It promises to bring amazing image quality, especially for professional photographers.
@@TechTraveller01 Hass guy here - they are having trouble selling the X2D
@@nelsonclub7722 While it’s true that the Hasselblad X2D may have faced some sales challenges, it’s important to remember that high-end cameras often cater to a niche market. Many photographers are still interested in quality and innovation, and as more professionals recognize the benefits of advanced features, sales could improve over time. Plus, market trends can change quickly!
...makes no sense when the lenses cannot keep up with it.
thank you for your Comment
@@TechTraveller01 STOP
Can't wait for downscaled 4k 10 bit 4:2:0...
The improved color depth and sharpness will make a huge difference in video quality.
Suitable for very large screens or very large prints? Laurie. NZ. 😊
it's ideal to use high-resolution images or media to ensure clarity and sharpness.
good ! you can get a 18mm and cop up to 150mm ;-)
This sensor will not be in a camera for photographers or videographers any time soon. It is designed for specific industrial and scientific needs
While the sensor is indeed aimed at industrial and scientific applications, advancements in technology can sometimes lead to faster adoption in consumer markets. As similar sensors become more common, we might see them integrated into high-end cameras for photographers and videographers sooner than expected.
Great . Put it in a fixed wide lens compact camera and just crop in if necessary. Perfect one camera one lens solution
Exactly! A fixed wide-lens compact camera allows you to crop when needed, making it an ideal one-camera, one-lens solution.
Sony must make better optics then too...
Sony should definitely focus on making better optics as well. High-resolution sensors are great, but they need high-quality lenses to match. Improved optics would ensure that users get the best possible image quality from their cameras, making Sony's products even more competitive.
It will be several years before there are any consumer or even prosumer devices capable of resolving the detail captured by such a sensor. Until then, it will be only for the scientific/military community.
Such a sensor is not meant for non pros and normal consumers it will be a sensor for the top elite.
this kind of technology will mostly be limited to the scientific and military sectors, where advanced imaging capabilities are needed.
@@TechTraveller01 could be but 100mp are already in use in the fashion world and not long time ago digital cameras for pros had only 8mp i am sure there will be a 250mp pro camera someday
@@castielvargastv7931 That’s a good point! High-resolution cameras, like 100MP models, are already used in the fashion industry for capturing fine details. Just a few years ago, 8MP was the standard for pros, and technology is always advancing. It’s likely we’ll see a 250MP professional camera in the future as demand for higher detail continues to grow.😅
@@TechTraveller01 Come to think of it, what screen resolution we are talking about? My Imac has a 5K screen, yet I hardly ever watch any image of 5k resolution on it since the internet resolution is a mere 72 dpi, so what part do I miss here? (printing on the other hand is a different story and sure is happy with high resolutions)
Is that JSMC runing new technology for Sony ?
JASMINE (JSMC) is likely involved with new technology development for Sony, especially in their sensor production. They play a key role in manufacturing, so it’s possible they’re working on innovations for Sony's upcoming tech.
This is definitely the new Phase one Digital back sensor (IQ 5)
No, this isn’t the new Phase One Digital back sensor (IQ 5). While phone camera technology is improving, high-end medium format cameras like the Phase One IQ series have much larger sensors and are designed for professional photography, offering better image quality, dynamic range, and detail.
@@TechTraveller01 thank you, I heard a rumor about new medium format sensor from Sony which could be 247MP for Phase one system, I hope this is true.
Well that be better than my sony a7r5
Your A7R5 has a larger sensor, better lenses, and superior image processing, which results in higher overall image quality.
you'll need a super computer to handle the files, giant screen to see the actual pixels,.. and who's going to print billboard size.. 😂 I'll choose 50-80mp with global shutter camera..
What you suggest is the direction camera manufacturers are going. We can see it already as the MP race slows down, competition is now focusing on other features. The Canon 5DII took a lot of criticism because it did not increase MP count, but greatly improved other things. The general public and average UA-cam commenter are just slow to understand it.
sooo who would buy this??? who or what industry needs that much resolution
Museums, document digitization for example
macro
While it may seem excessive, there are industries that definitely benefit from high resolution. Fields like scientific research and medical imaging require detailed visuals for analysis and diagnosis. High-resolution images are also important in aerospace and defense for precision.
More mp means more size and hard to manage.
You can expect file sizes to be 500MB+
While more megapixels do result in larger file sizes, they also provide greater detail and flexibility in editing, like cropping without losing quality. With advancements in storage technology and faster processing power, managing larger files is becoming easier.
When will SONY get the lenses to support it?
Sony already has a solid lineup of lenses, but for higher megapixel sensors, like those in medium-format cameras, they might need to develop even more specialized lenses to fully support that level of resolution. It could take time, but given Sony's innovation, it’s likely they'll work on lenses optimized for future high-resolution sensors.
@@TechTraveller01 you can put anything from trash to great lenses. From M42 to just about anything. Confusing to say these least. Selecting quality can be a problem. All manufacturers have this issue to a point but Sony is really bad.
@@robertc.maxfieldiiphotography It's true that the wide compatibility of lenses can lead to confusion, especially when mixing low-quality and high-quality options. While many brands face similar challenges, Sony's extensive lens lineup can sometimes make it harder to find the best quality, leading to frustrations for users looking for optimal performance.
Lol... Do you work for Canon 😂..
You have no idea what Sonys gm lenses are capable of... 135gm Outresolves this sensor already... Over 250mpix wide open at 1.8
@@bojangbg hardly! I have had several Sony cameras. The Sony world seems to have more people using 3rd party lenses than any other brand but makes sense.
I just want a Sony that is compatible with the English language.
Clear, easy-to-understand menus and settings would make the experience much smoother for users!
@@TechTraveller01 . So true, I just bought a NEX 6 from eBay.USA from Japan that has Japanese language only unknowingly. An attractive brick to me.
Sony has no medium format camera !
Not yet but the sensor is here now
They will do
True However, Hasselblad uses Sony Sensors in their medium format cameras. Additionally, Nikon uses Sony Sensors. Leica uses Sony Sensors.
Sony make the sensors for Fuji GF and Hass X
@@johncallery814 But throughout the video you showed Sony Alpha cameras and not a Hasselblad or Fuji and your comments about how useful a 240 Mp sensor is for photography are not as you say, it is for a few who really need that resolution, it is not for everyone.
That’s sucks.
Well looks like my GFX100S II is obsolete now 😭
No
Thank you for your Comment
@@TechTraveller01 GARBAGE AI CONTENT
so, when this super high sensor camera available on markets & the Fuji 100s price will drop below $2k. hehe, time to buy.
Super high-sensor cameras are already on the market, but it's hard to predict when the Fuji 100s price will drop below $2k. Keep an eye on sales or used deals-it could happen eventually!
Totally worthless how many megapixels is your phone screen and computer screen 7 maybe 8
digital images can hang around for decades
so having super high megapixel counts doesn’t always make sense for everyday use. Many people won’t notice a difference at those resolutions, making it feel unnecessary for most consumers.
Yawn
haha ! Thank you for your Comment
