Sony is also working on Canon dual pixel CMOS autofocus Technology. In recent patent document surfaced over the we can spot the same dual pixel pattern scattered in the sensor.
Patent Description (Machine Translated)
Imaging devices and electronic apparatuses incorporating imaging devices are provided. An imaging device as disclosed can include a first pixel (2PA, 2PB) and a second pixel (2X). The first and second pixels each have a first electrode (5IA, 51B, 51C), a portion of a photoelectric conversion film (81), and a portion of a second electrode (82), where the photoelectric conversion film is between the first electrode and the second electrode. The first electrode (5IA, 51B) of the first pixel has a first area, while the first electrode (51C) of the second pixel has a second area that is smaller than the first area. The first pixel can include a light shielding film (52A, 52B). Alternatively or in addition, the first pixel can be divided into first and second portions
Sony is not in mood to announce Fullframirrorless camera anytime soon if we believe latest rumors surfaced over the web. They are planning to announce RX series camera along with two lenses.
Earlier it was said that Sony will going to announce A7 series (either A7 III or A7R II) camera after A9 announcement. According to the information shared by the tipster, Sony is going to announce a new compact RX compact camera in next 4 to 6 weeks.

Take the information with a grain of salt since the information is coming from a new source
Early tester of the Sony A9 camera said, A9 built-in menu system showing 8K recording option. Take a look what he exactly said
Today I had the opportunity take a sneak peek at the Sony A9, and while checking the menu there’s a 8K VIDEO option but it’s disabled in the camera, when I asked more about this option the Sony representative took the camera away and noted that it could have been a pre-production error.
This report is Coming from an Sony user via SAR, when he was testing recently announced Sony A9 camera the Sony A9 model shows 8K video recording option.
We all know that to record a 8k video you need a 33 megapixel sensor. The current 20 Megapixel sensor of the Sony A9 camera cannot record a 8k video clip. But it’s also true that to create an 4K video footage Sony A9 camera records 6k videos, the A9 does an Full pixel read-out and with the help of oversampling it creates 4K video files. That feature enormous amount of details with rich color and contrast.
But, future A7 series camera as well upcoming A9 may have the ability to record it with an higher resolution sensor. It’s an clear indication that Sony not only targeting professional DSLRs they are also keeping eye on cinematographers.
Yes, We are getting lot of rumors related to Sony A9R camera from new sources. Based on the information we have received the Sony A9R announcement may happen this year (although they do mentioned exact date also).
We have received a mixed bag of information related to High-MP Mirrorless camera. According to sources the Sony A9R camera will have a 72MP sensor. Other tipster suggest that it may have 50-60MP sensor with 7-8 fps burst speed. May be both of them are correct and they are talking about different prototypes.
The information coming from Anonymous tipster via email so take them with grain of salt.
