Sony had previously announced in 2012 that its new sensors would support HDR for video recording, but not for still images. The new IMX230 sensor supports both, and it's also able to capture HDR stills at the sensor's full 21 MP.
Perhaps the most impressive part about this new sensor and its image processing capabilities is that it can shoot 4k video in HDR in real-time. The sensor also supports 1080p@60fps smooth recording and 720p@120fps slow-motion recording. - urbansheep@gmail.com
