Want to upset you slightly.
Previous sensor had 11MRays, and had resolution - 512x512 pixels, 262 144.
With 40MRays it'll be actual 1Mpix :-) or 1024x1024 without interpolation. I think they use smarter algos this time, plus interpolation, as usual.
I think it's pretty novel using the information they capture from the light to correct for things like chromatic aberrations. This allows them to design impressive lens' designs without the complexity of corrective elements (constant f2 lens is pretty impressive for a 1" sensor).
I'm hoping the next generation has an interchangable lens mount (maybe m43), 80megawhatevers (8MP actual output), and can do 4k video preserving the depth data :) Post focus pulling!
