Haters Silenced: Bill Claff reevaluates the measurements and confirms that the Sony A7V is the King of dynamic range!

Sony A7V preorders:
In USA at at BHphoto, Amazon, Adorama, Henrys.
In EU at  Fotokoch, FotoErhardt, Calumet, Foto Köster, WexUK, Clifton, Park UK, Fnac FR.
In Australia at: Camera Pro, Sony Australia.

Bill Claff from PhotonsToPhotos re-ran the Sony A7V evaluation— and guess what? The dynamic range numbers are still jaw-dropping. At low ISO, the A7V rivals medium-format monsters like the Fujifilm GFX100 II and Hasselblad X2D II, beating the entire Sony Alpha lineup in the process.

So much for the claims that the A7V was “cheating” when the earlier results included noise reduction. 😏

Here is the Sony A7V vs the Sony A7IV (note: mechanical shutter used):

As on any camera if you use electronic shutter dynamic range drops:

And here is the comparison with the nearly 3 times more expensive medium format cameras:

This is now the PDR ranking from Bill Claff:

What can we say… this looks like a clear winner. I highly doubt the Canon R6 Mark III will come anywhere close once Bill finally tests it. 😏
