Does anyone know what the readout speed is if you drop to 12bit raw? Either way I'm excited for this sensor to make it into an a7cRii.
We don't know yet, it seems and we will have to wait until the camera is tested. It should be faster in lossy compressed RAW. The 19.6 ms that has been quoted is in uncompressed RAW. It will also be faster when cropped to APS-C size and keep in mind that if you crop you are in fact using a smaller section of the sensor, so the more you crop the faster the sensor scan speed for that area. All this means that whether you see movement distortion is not simply a matter of the one 19.6ms sensor scan speed number. It matters how much compression is being used and it matters how much of the sensor is being used. It also of course matters how fast the target is moving. All this means that sometimes it is hard to predict whether you will see movement distortion or not. This camera, however, seems to be in the ballpark of the Sony A7 V, the Nikon Z6 III, and the Canon R5 in terms of sensor scan speed and not in the ballpark of the Sony A1/A1 II, A9/A9 II, Nikon Z8/Z9 or Canon R1/R3/R5 II.
