(FT4) New Panasonic sensor with gapless design

Finally we received a small but very good info from trusted sources about the next Panasonic sensor. The new sensor will have gapless Micro-lenses.
Canon has been the first to deliver such a sensor with the Canon 50D } if ($loc == 'ES') { $sel = "1"; ?>Canon 50D } if ($loc == 'IT') { $sel = "1"; ?>Canon 50D } if ($loc == 'AT') { $sel = "1"; ?>Canon 50D } if ($loc == 'DE') { $sel = "1"; ?>Canon 50D } if ($loc == 'BE') { $sel = "1"; ?>Canon 50D } if ($loc == 'AU') { $sel = "1"; ?>Canon 50D } if ($loc == 'FR' OR $loc == 'FX') { $sel = "1"; ?>Canon 50D } if ($loc == 'NL') { $sel = "1"; ?>Canon 50D } if ($loc == 'CA') { $sel = "1"; ?>Canon 50D } if ($loc == 'US') { $sel = "1"; ?>Canon 50D } if ($sel != '1') {?>Canon 50D } ?> (and lately with the Canon 7D and EOS-1D Mark IV). Chuck Westfall, Technical Advisor at Canon USA said that “noise levels are expected to be 1 to 1.5 stops better in the high ISO range” (Source: Rob Galbraith).

The Panasonic sensor is ready for mass-production so it is very likely that we will see that sensor inside the new GH2 (launch to be expected late September at Photokina). We didn’t get any further details yet but the info we post here today came from our very best sources!

Good news!
