Only a rumor so far but you can see it coming by at least ONE of the big manufacturers

YES! I really like the direction this is going.

While CMOS admittedly produces some stunning images, I won't be holding my breath for anything with CMOS sensors until some sort of cure is found in rolling shutter skew/artifacting. I still can't believe how a beautiful image from an Z5, EX1, Red One, etc. can be ruined so quickly by something as simple as a whip pan.

Z5 and HMC150 comparison.
