  2. The world's most sensitive what? And do they have global shutters? What about the dynamic range?

  4. Sona? Does that mean they will use a Sony sensor and label "Scientific CMOS" all over the camera like some vendors? :)

    1. Seems like BAE/Fairchild sensors are the ones usually labeled "sCMOS." While they have decent dynamic range and some have a global-shutter mode (albeit with compromise on dynamic range), they are hardly the world's most sensitive sensors.

  6. It should be a Gpixel since their pixel size is always huge. In this case, with the same RON, you get lower lux number ...
