Sony is making steady advancements in the global shutter with CMOS sensors. A bit harder on DSLRS with larger sensors and more pixels to read but the smaller sensors with smaller megapixels already have them [1]. So it's matter of a time that most CMOS bases videos will be free of rolling shutter, starting with higher-end video cameras that have sensors with just enough pixels to cover 2k-4k videos [2]

If it were possible to get this in a consumer grade video product I would be very happy. Unfortunately these sensors are $1295.


GLobal shutter is one of the reason why Sony and the like trailed RED in the high res film camera game.

There are a few cameras out there with global shutter, RED isn't one of them.

That and the colour reproduction is one of the many reasons why the arri alexa is popular despite have "less resolution"
