Sony hybrid organic & inorganic sensor patent, the patent describes the sensor is made up of both organic and inorganic materials, the major details below
Translated by google
Sony patents pending on the imaging element of the hybrid formula that combines the benefits of both organic and inorganic materials. Also excellent resolution, there is no false colors since it does not require further OLPF In addition, the high sensitivity superior to be done by the organic photoelectric conversion layer. The organic layer is not suitable as high-speed readout, inorganic layer is done in the movement of the charge, seems to have and also allows high-speed readout. It might have appeared to great imaging element in the future.

Fujifilm X-Pro1 vs Sony NEX 7 vs Olympus EM-5 Specification comparison review, all these three camera are the most popular mirrorless camera of today.
First See a quick Specification Comparison
Low-Light performance and Dynamic range
From the specification comparison it is clear that Fujifilm X-Pro1 have big APS-C size sensor and 16 megapixel resolution , the Sony NEX 7 have a high resolution 24.3 megapixel APS-C sensor and Olympus OMD EM-5 have small 4/3 format sensor with 16 megapixel resolution.
From the specification comparison it is clear that Fujifilm X-Pro1 will perform better in low-light condition, bigger the pixel is, the lower the noise : The size of the photodiode and this has a big impact on the dynamic range and low light performance.
Video Performance
Sony NEX7 offers Full HD at 60 and 24 fps, Olympus EM-5 also offer Full HD at 60 fps (but no 24fps) and Fuji X Pro-1 Full HD video recording limited to 24 fps only.
A Image (JPEG) comparison test between Fujifilm X-Pro1 vs Sony NEX 7 vs Olympus EM-5 done at focus-numerique (french website), see the result of test below
 The Fujifilm X-Pro1 JPEG from camera look clear and usable upto ISO 3200, Sony NEX 7 performance is also good but I am really disappointed by Olympus EM-5 High ISO performance.
Conclusion: Fujifilm X-Pro1 and Sony NEX 7 both are excellent performer, buy any one of them.
