SUMMARY
Sony's stacked sensor designs are a key factor in the speed of its cameras, enabling high burst rates and fast video frame rates. While this technology is present in full-frame mirrorless models and compact cameras like the RX10 V and RX100 VII, Sony's APS-C lineup currently lacks it. Recent reports indicate Sony is developing a 26MP APS-C stacked sensor, potentially for future cameras such as an A6900 or an FX30 II, though Sony has not confirmed this. The adoption of stacked sensors in APS-C cameras could significantly benefit genres like sports and wildlife photography.
