We also had few mentions of it after this.

As well as sensor cancelled message.

We'll see. I just remember reading that all RGBW sensors are cancelled.

Three models of "Exmor RS" commercialized, raised the sensitivity without adding pixels (white) W to pixel (red / green / blue) RGB traditional, compromising image quality

It is not RGBW sensors as I see

This another video shows the HDR video feature in action in a shadow/highlight situation, great example.

When Sony implement this HDR video technology in some kind of a NEX-9 or NEX-10 camera it will be revolutionary, big sensor and better shadow/highlight than BMCC for a fraction of price, merged straight from camera.

yes, lets wait independent reviews.

the sensor is 1/3 inch, 4k so I believe the image quality will be the same from a hd camcorder, so despite the lack of shallow dof it can be used in an indie feature film for these kind of light situations. Probably it will be better than Magic Lantern Firmware Hack HDR video solution.

Sony is just starting a new revolution, I believe HDR video is the next big thing to make people exchange current camcorders and dlsr for another model, so the manufacturers will start a competition in this route to increase sales. This will benefit the indie filmmaker community.

This is interesting. Just wondering if different exposure in the lines will bring resolution loss or aliasing.

Results from HDR on vs HDR off are here (in the beginning the HDR off is better, sky is not clipped in HDR off, but in the end HDR on is better, shadows are lifted) would be better to see this thechnology in a manual exposure camera to judge better, maybe someday:

I find that the main feature of the GoPro3 is its Protune, wide dynamic range recording. It is a delight to use in post. However, it seems that very few on the photography forums understand this. Additionally, I am not sure what tools will be made available by HTC to allow 'post'. As one of the comments on the videos above says "I think the black one looks better." Whereas, I would kill for the greater dynamic range. It will be interesting to see whether there is any significant takeup of HDR in the market. Outside of us, here, that is :) :)

Info about sensor inside Moto X:

OmniVision Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: OVTI), a leading developer of advanced digital imaging solutions, today announced a complete 10.5-megapixel camera solution with a new RGB Clear (RGBC) color filter that delivers exceptional low-light performance. The camera solution is composed of a native 16:9 OV10820 sensor that offers 4K2K and 1080p full high definition (FHD) video, and a new OV660 companion chip that converts the RGBC data into standard RGB Bayer data. The combination of the OV10820 and OV660 provides an ultra-compact, complete high performance camera solution for next-generation smartphones and tablets.

"The inherent tradeoff between smaller pixels and improved sensitivity or image quality continues to drive innovation. The OV10820 delivers the best of both worlds: 10.5-megapixel high resolution imaging with unparalleled low-light sensitivity from RGBC in a compact footprint," said Devang Patel, senior product marketing manager at OmniVision. "The sensor offers 4K2K and fast frame rate FHD video in a native 16:9 aspect ratio, addressing the need to capture video for increasingly popular widescreen mobile displays and next-generation TVs with extremely high resolutions. Furthermore, the OV660 companion chip converts the RGBC data into RGB Bayer format, allowing manufacturers to integrate the camera solution with standard ISPs."

The 1/2.6-inch OV10820 utilizes a 1.4-micron OmniBSI-2™ pixel architecture with a RGBC color filter pattern to deliver exceptional low-light sensitivity, enabling high quality video recording in difficult lighting conditions. It records full-resolution 10.5-megapixel video at 30 frames per second (FPS), and supports 4K2K (3840 x 2160 pixels) at 30 FPS and 1080p FHD video at 60 FPS while maintaining full field of view (FOV) with binning functionality for RAW output. The OV10820 fits in a camera module form factor of 9.5 x 9.5 x 6.4 mm, which includes auto focus functionality.
