Originally posted by goldenarrow Could the new K-3 II use the new IMX-271 ? It is 24 mp and has a new embedded clock to allow high speed multistream transfers (4K movies and stills taken from the movie stream). Seems like Sony's response to Canon's new tech for fast movie streams.
I hope Ricoh goes with this new chip for the K-3 II but it might mean tweaking their interface to the chip. See these links:

rough translation on this sensor:
(From DPreview) Also of note is a new APS-C sensor, the IMX271, which has a relatively high maximum full-resolution readout frame rate of 19fps (up from the 8.7fps readout of the previous generation IMX193 APS-C sensor, which is likely what is found in cameras like the Nikon D5300). This could be beneficial for high-speed readout applications. Furthermore, the IMX271 includes a
Scalable Low Voltage Signaling Embedded Clock (SLVS-EC), which Sony claims is a new interface technology that can enable the use of high speed and multi-stream output functions of the sensor for high speed movies, as well as multi-frame, high dynamic range, and still/movie simultaneous capture.
