One more thing: The Sony A7V is a Dynamic Range monster!

PetaPixel digged into the results and reports:

Bill Claff notes in his charts, the a7 V’s RAW files include some baked-in noise reduction, which Sony also applies to RAWs captured by its global-shutter-equipped a9 III. While that camera had fairly pronounced image quality tradeoffs to achieve its groundbreaking performance, the a7 V doesn’t seem to pay a similar price. The baked-in noise reduction is essentially indiscernible in practical applications, and nothing about the camera’s RAW images raised our hackles during testing.

Sony, like all companies, keeps sensor technology advancements very close to the vest. We will do our best to wrestle some more information out of Sony about how the a7 V achieves its exceptional dynamic range performance, but for now, we know it has at least something to do with baked-in noise reduction, and it may go even further than that. We also know something else of significance for photographers: One way or another, the Sony a7 V’s new partially stacked 33-megapixel image sensor captures excellent images with unprecedented dynamic range.
