We are talking about a technological breakthrough done by Panasonic. According to DCWATCH (Highly reputed Japanese website) Panasonic successfully developed a 36MP 4/3 Sensor able to record 8K video. Initially they may use this sensor for Panasonic GH5R? (just a thought) by limiting it to 4K or 6K video mode.
Now 2 years from now Panasonic representative told yes they are working to make a consumer camera available on 2020 Olympics with 8K video capability.
This year are expecting to see Panasonic GH6 camera with 6K capability coming on September 2018 [Pho0tokina event]. And after a year gap [2019] we will sure see a Panasonic GH8 K camera from Panasonic.
So, this [translated] press release is just another another step,

Panasonic Corporation develops a CMOS image sensor design technology capable of global shutter imaging with high saturation and sensitivity modulation function of 450 thousand electrons, reading at a high frame rate of 60 fps with a high resolution of 36 million pixels that realizes 8 K image quality We announced.
In this technology, the function of converting light into an electric signal is an organic thin film, and the function of storing and reading signal charges is completely and independently performed in the lower layer circuit section.
By utilizing the structural features of the organic CMOS image sensor and installing high-speed noise cancellation technology and technology to realize high saturation in the circuit part with high degree of freedom, it is possible to achieve 8 k high resolution which is usually a trade-off 60 fps read out, wide dynamic range by realizing high saturation characteristics, global shutter function for the first time in the industry simultaneously realized.
