There is a sensor chart size in this thread. It does not list the 1/1.2" but has a lot more sensors.

I found this on the 1/1.2" sensor size and I quote. 
I am grinning from ear to ear.
"Although there are some lens manufacturers that designed a lens with the specific 1/1.2” format, there are not many. Referring to lens format diagram, the 1/1.2” format is between a 2/3” and 1” format."
Edit: That is over twice the area of the 1/1.8" sensor. The possibilities are there for good night time viewing.

The 1/1.2" sensor is 10.67mm x 8.0mm. That is 85.36mm squared. Edit: For comparison the 1/1.8" sensor is 37.9mm squared for area.

I have my £117 Hikvision 1/1.2" F1:0 sat in the box on my table and will try and get it fitted tomorrow A small clip has already been posted in the Hikvision Section to what to expect from this sensor and it looks promising indeed similar performance to the 5442 but more detail and sharpness.

The previous pixel-size winner (imx385, 2MP on 1/2" sensor for 3.8um pixels) never got widely incorported into mainstream cams... My guess is 'no', but I'd love to be wrong there...

I'd be happy to see a 2MP camera on a 1/1.8 sensor. Bet night vision would be pretty decent. Problem is it takes a whole bunch of work to make a sensor. Demand would effect the price, and everyone is nuts over 4K thinking they're movie producers.
right. the imx482 seems to be e 'binned' version of the 8mp imx485 chip (ie, 4 pixels are binned together to make one uber-pixel). my prediction is that it'll show up only in astronomy and industrial applications, as the IMX385 did, at a substantial price point above those found in our consumer IP cams...

Yes I know, check the chart I posted. Really easy visual size comparison with area calulcations already made for you and posted underneath each "sensor" picture.

I could see an application for a ptz for this. That said, given Dahua has very high end cams with that amazing Sony sensor in them, it remains to be seen as to whether they'd want to compete against themsleves with that. It's just a pity that Sony sensor doesn't become viable at low cost because their camera the VNB770 i has both pixel count (4k) and low light performance. At least the low end is heading in the right direction thanks to Hik. For a while there I thought we were going to go the other way with LEDs supplementary lighting.

The way I see it this 1/1.2" sensor has the potential to be as good in 4K as the 1/1.8" sensor is for the 2K cameras. I have not seen all the specifications but it should have close to twice the megapixals for the chosen area.

Thank you parley for that sensor size of 1/1.2 . Let us know Andy once the order starts I will definitely will be putting some more cam.
Question is do I need it no. Do I want it YES LOL hahaha

I have a PTZ to upgrade on the back of my house. This may be the one I will use. The current PTZ is 1K with a 1/2.8" sensor. Here is a picture of it.

Cant wait to go thru the catalog. At same time I would love too see a Laser PTZ too Just to have a laser IR at night can be nice to off course with larger sensor

Does anyone know when the PTZ with Machinegun support will be out?

No suppressor though, what kind of poverty level camera is this?
Still learning what all the features of these cameras are. Any reason to wait to purchase the 2021 5442s over the current version?
