I don't think it would be outrageously expensive. The nice thing about this sensor is, that you don't even need BSI infastructre since you "only" put the organic layer on a FSI sensor.  

 

The thing I like most about this sensor is the new microlens design that allows for 60 degree angle of incidence.

which, as I understand, will greatly improve performance with the so called heritage lenses.

[quincy]

Cool, and I think they are first with it!

That thing in an X-T3 would be nice.

By the way, do we know if they will use it for their medium format camera?

[EyesUnclouded]

Is this still a joint venture with Fujifilm? Because I can't seem to find something suggesting this in the current press release. And, apart from the initial information a couple of years ago, there's no mention of Fuji regarding the organic sensor. Do we have any other indication that they are still on board?

 

Edit: a quick google search revealed this rumor:

Not only that. Fast lenses would benefit from it too. (And Fuji has a lot of those)

I don't think we will see this tech before 2018-2020. 

[milandro]

well, this could certainly resurrect many optical designs in their possession which weren’t deemed suitable in the new situation.

[Rauchbier]

I am really looking forward to this new sensor.

 

Unfortunately it will take some time from the press release to the actual product.

Maybe this sensor will be built into the X-Pro3 if it takes another four years to develop it.

 

Maybe what's even more important: this breaks the felt monopoly of high quality sensors from Sony.

Can anybody explain what exactly they mean by "global shutter" in this press release? Is it a fully electronic mechanism w/o the disadvantages of the current tech?

Yes. It means that every single pixel is read out (electronically) at the same time. So no rolling shutter and other shutter problems.

[ShutterNot]

Now that the X PRO 2 is out .... it's time to resurrect rumors of an organic sensor in the next X PRO body ....

... and no limit on the sync speed...except flash duration itself

the best organic sensor will be a drink that you drink and transforms you brain into a camera. Then you can send via WI-Fi the pictures to anyone else.
