I'm sure all of you are aware of DPreview, and if not, there is the link to the original article.
Does a sensor like this make anyone else drool? Don't get me wrong, I love photography but I shoot a lot of video and this sensor is just nuts. 8k video is an unreal resolution, lets slap one of those bad boys in a Canon body and see if that will shush the people begging for better video . Just thought I would share the article with all of you as I found the concept very intriguing!

Japanese national broadcaster NHK has said it is developing a sensor capable of shooting 8k video at 120fps. It will be able to support the company's Super Hi-Vision standard of 7680x4320 pixels (generically known as UHDTV) which, at 33MP, is 16x higher resolution than current 1080 HD technology. The high-speed chip is being developed with Shizuoka University and was reported at the IEEE Internation Solid-State Circuit Conference currently taking place in San Francisco. (via The Verge)
UHDTV is expected to arrive in homes some time around 2020 (the first screens have been demoed) and a 60fps version will be used to show high-quality footage from the 2012 Olympics on a series of large screens around the UK.
