Sony has recently announced plans to create a new generation of image sensor that should shrink the size of the sensor, while retaining high resolution qualities.
The new Sony sensors will be using back illuminated CMOS technology, which offers better power consumption and speed versus CCD image sensors.
The new image sensors includes more circuitry beneath each pixel, which reduces the overall size of the sensor. An 8 megapixel version will begin shipping in March, followed by a 13MP chip in June. Products using the new Sony sensors should appear late in 2012.
