Drew Geraci just shared a good news about the new Sony A7rIII:

“Very Excited to share this side by side comparison of the A7RIII (full production model) shooting Astrophotography at 3.2″ and 10” at ISO 12,800 utilizing the Sony 16-35mm GM lens. As you can see in the side by side comparison, with ALL noise reduction turned off in the main menu, you can easily see that all stars are present and accounted for when blown up at 100% resolution. The star-eater is no more.

This is definitely good news as it shows Sony is aware of the issue and actually knows how to fix this. Let’s hope there is a firmware fix coming soon for current Sony A7/A9 cameras!
