With a global shutter and individually resettable pixels, if you're able to read each pixel fast enough, I wonder if you could theoretically continue collecting light after you've saturated and read out the pixel. Might be a problem with cumulative read-noise for multiple reads though.
I've thought about this as well! At 120FPS burst, if each exposure is exactly 1/120s, then the photos are basically lined up tip to butt, theoretically it shouldn't even matter if you have lower full well capacity since you can "empty" the well from the storage diode/capacitor to cfexpress type-a and then combine them with computational photography, right? For example if you want a landscape shot at 24mm with 1/30s exposure, just take 40 photos at 1/120s at 120FPS and combine them by summing the charge from the same pixel from each photo and you get ultimate dynamic range pro max?
