DxOmark (Click here) just posted the full Sony A6300 sensor results. And unsurprisingly the A6300 features the best performing sensor of all Sony APS-C cameras.

The A6300 achieved a DxOMark score of 85 points, making it currently the best-performing APS-C size sensor in the company’s range. It shows performance gains over both the 24-Mpix A6000 and the A77 II, as well the highly-regarded NEX-7 (introduced back in 2011). The sensor has excellent low noise levels at base, resulting in a wide dynamic range of +13.7 EV, yet maintains both a relatively wide dynamic range and low noise at high ISOs, especially when compared to those earlier models.

A new Sony A7 contender?
We now have to deal with a new scenario: The Sony A7 series is no more the very top end in the mirrorless system camera business. With the new Hasselblad X1D there is now an expensive but still not crazy expensive “PRO” option. So let’s check out how the Hasselblad compares against the current best A7 camera, the Sony A7rII.

First a camera size comparison (images via Camerasize):

As you see the Hasselblad camera is bigger but not my that much!

And here is the sensor size comparison (Thanks Paul for sending this):

The X1D sensor size is roughly twice as big as the FF sensor. The real advanatge is that given the same number of pixels on both sensors the pixel size is double the size on the medium format sensor.

Features the Hasselblad X1D has and the Sony should add to the third generation A7 cameras
1) Dual SD card. I think the next generation of A7 series should have this too! The Sony A9 is rumored to have a dual XQD card support
2) USB 3.0. This is also something Sony definitely has to add-on the new A7 series
3) 16bit RAW. Not a big deal for 95% of the photographers out there. But PRO’s would certainly love to have that feature on Sony cameras too.
4) Touchscreen. really Sony…it’s time to add this!

On the video above Chris Niccolls teaches you how to shoot macros. And he is using the superb Sony 90mm FE macro lens for his tutorial. I know Sony makes a lot of buzz around their GM and Zeiss lenses. But the Sony 90mm FE is a real gem of the current E-mount lens line!
