After yesterday’s announcement by Sony that their new range of DSLR cameras will have the brand name “Alpha” comes some exciting news about their CMOS sensors.

“Sony is now pushing forward with the development of high-speed CMOS sensors for digital cameras that can provide continuous imaging from all pixels at the high frame rate of 60 frame/s. Sony is also developing in parallel a camera digital signal processor (DSP) that can take full advantage of this performance. Sony is now proposing a new way of enjoying photography in which one photographs and records images without concern for the difference between moving images and still images by using this frame readout of 60 frame/s high-speed CMOS sensor and new camera DSP.”

Reading between the lines, the article hints that this sensor may appear in the new camera that Sony are preparing to launch in the summer.
