Wanna' bet? A M-4/3 global shutter sensor was introduced several months ago. The current belief is that the GH7 will have one.
Now, if you want to qualify that with the only 'full frame' global shutter camera for a while, I can agree.
Yeah, first full-frame global shutter - Sony put that qualifier in each time they said it.
I'm wondering if they'll release an A1 mark II without a global shutter. If the 24 megapixels is the highest res global shutter they can make today (that has been suggested, and there was a hint in the announcement), and there are a lot of A1 shooters saying how they don't need a global shutter, then maybe announcing an A1 mark II with a stacked sensor without global shutter but with all the other goodies... That would quiet down the "but I want more pixels" and "I'm not swapping my A1 for that" crowds, and might nudge some people who are waiting to see the specs of the A1 mark II before committing to the A9 III. Could be a clever move.
Oh, Tim just said the same thing!
I also wonder if they plan to bring out the A9 design that lots of people imagined (more pixels, stacked but not global shutter, etc) with a different name, maybe next year. So the A9 is still their top-of-the-line speed demon, but they have a lesser body for the smaller budget? It's clear Sony has no fear of adding new camera families.
