DxoMark: SonyA6400 sensor is 2 points behind the A6500

Share

Dxomark tested the A6400 sensor and there is really a small difference:

Anyone comparing the Sony A6300 and A6400 will find the results intriguing. Although the two models share a similar sensor resolution (pixel count) and the overall results are very close, the measurements are not identical.

Despite its slightly higher noise floor over the A6300, the new A6400 sensor performs well, combining a wide dynamic range over a highly useful range of ISO sensitivity settings and excellent low-light ISO capabilities. Although that directly impacts the color depth, the A6400 remains capable of delivering extremely pleasing images. Combine those attributes with the new AF system, 11fps continuous shooting, and a relatively affordable price, and you have a very enticing camera for sports and action photographers on a budget.

(SR5) On April 7 Sony will announce new camcorders “only”. A7sIII still on track for a fall announcement and some “revolutionary” features

Share

On April 7 Sony will have a product launch event at the NABshow. Reliable sources confirmed that we should get new camcorder info only. No new E-mount camera is expected to be announced on that day.

Those reliable sources also confirmed once more that the Sony A7sIII announcement is scheduled for this fall and that this will be a revolutionary camera and not a simple evolution of the current A7sII. We have no specs yet but we have been told the sensor is the key of the revolution. My guess is that this will be the first system camera using a global shutter sensor.
