Sony announces new 8 and 13MP sensors with HDR video support

Sony announces new 8 and 13MP sensors with HDR video support

Today, Sony announced that it's working on a couple of new image sensors for use in smartphones and other portable devices. The sensors use a new RGBW matrix, which adds a white pixel to the usual RGB layout, aiming to improve light sensitivity and, in turn, low-light performance. Sony says that while the addition of white pixel normally has a degrading effect on image quality, here they have found a workaround with their new processing algorithms.
The new Sony sensors enable the creation of movies with High Dynamic Range (HDR).
