This post is more for hard-core sensor tech interested people than for classical Alpha shooters. But maybe it’s interesting for everyone to see how a Sony sensor performs at -20 degrees Celsius.

Back in October Sony posted a Brochure (PDF here) and a Slideshow (website here) explaining the detailed new Starvis tech. Well now the very first cameras using that sensor is on sale on [shoplink 44152 ebay]eBay US (Click here)[/shoplink] and [shoplink 44151 ebay]eBay DE (Click here)[/shoplink]. The “ZWO ASI 178” camera has a cooled Sony Starvis sensor which can go below ambient temperature by 35-40 degrees Celsius.

Myphotojourney posted a first impression (here) and a first review (here) of the camera with Sony sensor. Enjoy the reading!

P.S.: Would be interesting to see a -20 degree A7rII sensor test. High ISO noise should be less (on paper).
