11 December 2019
Traditionally, each pixel has its own micro lens in front of it (even on Quad Bayer sensors). Sony made larger lenses that cover four pixels.

    Anonymous, 11 Dec 2019Samsung must be already working to copy.Stop saying that they'll copy. It's called standardization. Sony unveiled it to help themselves and help fellow camera makers. I want that kind of tech too but there shouldn't be a monopoly. Monopoly sucks overall.

      This space is bigger than the space of non-quadbayer.
      It is the reason a 12MP grabs more light than 48/12MP of same size.

      Also focus points cover 100% od the scene, something no camera can.
      The best is A9/A9 ii with about 93%.

          So they're effectively making non-quad Bayer lenses for quad Bayer sensors, which will be used in binned mode anyway.
          So back to square one I guess....

            When you think the progress is at ist peak, tech companies always find new way to impress.
            Unfortunately haters are always louder than the tech enthusiasts, ist gonna be the same with this one.
