Electronista and Crunchgear quote subscription-only Nikkei article saying that Sony has developed a new 17.7MP sensor that can "convert multiple pixels into signals simultaneously", which results in a reduction of the conversion time by up to 75% when compared to existing sensors.
The new sensor boasts a processing speed of 34.8Gbps (that’s up to five times faster than previous Sony sensors) and shoots video with 17.7MP at 120fps. Apparently, Sony also managed to keep power consumption in check by revamping the circuit design in the sensor.
The Nikkei also says that Sony plans to use the new technology in digital cameras and cell phones in the future, without providing information on when exactly this will be the case.
