Sony A7rIII vs Nikon D850 RAW comparison by Tony&Chelsea Northrup

Share

First the bad news: Tony’s and Chelsea’s preliminary conclusion is that there seems to not be any Dynamic range improvement over the A7rm2. But I doubt Sony can claim 1 stop improvement at Low ISO over the predecessor and then all testers don’t see any gain at all. So let’s wait for further test before we drew any final conclusion.

I also take once more the chance to remind Sony engineers to add a “real” ISO 64 on Sony cameras. I guess it’s something they could add via firmware upgrade.

The good news: All the rest of the camera is simply impressive. The image quality is basically on par with the Nikon but the Sony has many more features and faster autofocus and frame rate. Check out their video here:

New Sigma 16mm f/1.4 lens info by Dpreview and hands-on by Jason Vong

Share

We still have no info at all about the new Sigma 16mm f/1.4 pricing and shipment start. But at least we got a short Dpreview’s 16mm hands-on report. This is what they had to say about the new lens:

– In person, the new lens is a relatively small, but beautifully well-made prime
– At 405g (14 oz) it’s relatively heavy for its size
– While Sigma typically doesn’t make any specific claims about weather-sealing, a thin rubber ring around the lens throat should help keep dust and moisture from entering the camera.
