The Sony A7s keeps surprising us! It will get announced on Sunday already(!) and it will record 4K video. And now I just learned it features a new 12 megapixel Full Frame sensor! It completely goes in the opposite direction of the market who calls for “more megapixels”. And I think Sony’s move makes a lot of sense: Larger pixels, cleaner high ISO images, more fps! This is going to be an amazing 4K camera!
Reminder: The A7s will be unveiled live at 2pm in Las Vegas (on Sunday). You can follow the live video stream on SAR!!! This is the time in other time zones:
This is pretty neat news. If it is true, I can't wait to see the high ISO performance.

I wonder if Nikon will get their own version of this sensor.
Something else that is great that I noticed in the specs is that the continuous video recording is listed as being Ninety minutes! On previous DSLR cameras, the sensor over heats at around the 27 minute mark.

I've had the Nex 6 for almost 2 yrs and considered buying the A7R when it was released this past yr. Glad that I held out...will definitely pick this up when its released.
