ND64

And the lastest and greatest

It's the same "Canon makes better skin tones" superstition among photographers while we could get whatever skin tones we wanted with raw files all these years, but this time among videographers. Now convenience is part of the color science tho. If the image is just two clicks away from their perception of pleasing colors, means the camera produces great colors.

Somebody discovered the h.265 softness issue is a variable bitrate bug. With Nlog its too low. It should be 320Mb/s but its 32Mb/s. They forgot a zero 🙂

At the moment the best lens to body ratio in the market is like 1.7, and a lot of that is standing on the shoulder of kit lenses. Having third party option is good, but majority of people don't buy many lenses to begin with.

Horrible line skipping in Full HD. Pleasing noise in Angle of View Priority mode.

Compared to A7IV

Thats scary response. But I hope its due to another half baked firmware, like the one they released for A7IV.

Meanwhile Sony dropped the price of FX2 in China and now its only $2350. A7V is $2550.

I think its related to the IP behind partially stacked tech. People believe just because Sony Semi makes the sensor, they own all the IP, but its not true. At the moment there are three flavor of this tech, Nikon has the fastest one, Panasonic owns the one with highest DR, and Sony uses a version between those two. And maybe they have no license to use the best one in a video oriented body, yet.

Yea, its 13.5 stops after 7k>4k oversampling and AI processing. Pixel level DR should be 12 ish.

So Apparently A7V is semi stacked but without Z6III DR shortcomings (they would consist in 16 stop in marketing material to say "our semi stacked has no downside", otherwise 16 stop is impossible without NR). Video is 4k60p but 1.5x crop at 4k120.

Finally someone used trees as resolution test chart instead of his own face

This is Z6iii, but maybe Sony cameras have similar IC for boot.

The probability that Sony answers your question is near zero, but if enough people send emails, maybe they release a lame corporate response. Have you seen those TikTok videos the guy ask his fellow mechanics in their shop "which car brand you would never buy?" and all of them say Audi/BMW? Similar thing exists in camera repair community and they would say Sony.

For comparison its his ZR test At 0.1 High S/N ratio, DR is 6 stops. In his R6III test its only 3. Not only he is not curious at all why its so low, but doesn't even notice the drastic fall of it (from 8.26 to 3.04). As a reviewer I would dig into the data. I seriously feel he's not interested about what he's doing anymore. He's like "AF is good". What? How you tested that? Where is the evidence that its good? Canon website says its good, what else you know? And good for who? and why people should pay near $3k to have "good AF" when their current camera already has good AF? I assume R6III AF is "better" than R6II, but I need to see the evidence in practical situations. That's the job of someone who reviews gears for living.
