http://news.sel.sony.com/en/press_room/ ... 41219.html This Exmor R (R for rear) is their new patented CMOS sensor that has the digital connections on the bottom/rear of the sensor rather than on the top, in theory allowing for a greater sensitivity for light. Obviously Sony will be using these in their Alpha dSLRs, perhaps sooner rather than later. ; The other question is if they are going to share this technology with anybody....

Re: Sony releases first cameras with new Exmor R C does it really matter where the sensor is connected with so much software available in the camera
Yes, I think it does matter, since in theory, this sensor may blow ISO 25,600 out of the water. ; Or at least make ISO 800 usable with a P&S.
