Sony is back and this time to officially present its new photographic sensor destined for smartphones, a project in which its engineers and designers have worked for many months and whose characteristics will literally leave you with your mouth open since its use can mean a radical change in the way we understand the world of the photography with shots created by mobile devices.
Without a doubt, the above statement may seem a bit daring, although the truth is that, taking into account the characteristics of this Sony sensor, such as the possibility of record slow motion video at 1.000 fps, well above the 240 fps that most of today's high-end mobile phones offer, can be quite an opportunity, especially for the most creative users. As a detail, tell you for example, without leaving the Sony product catalog, that its RX 100 V model, one of the most powerful cameras that the company sells today, reaches 960 fps.
Impressive technical characteristics for a Sony sensor capable of revolutionizing the world of photography.
But here is not everything, since this same sensor will offer the possibility of taking pictures of 19,3 megapixels in 1/120 of a second which in turn makes it one of the fastest on the market, not to say up to 4 times faster than the sensors most used today. Undoubtedly an advance that we will soon see in the new high-end companies like Apple, Samsung and even Google, since they currently use Sony CMOS sensors so it would not be unreasonable to think of terminals that can reach the market throughout this year 2017 that already make use of this new sensor offering the possibility of recording videos at 1.000 fps per second.
