Photonstophotos tested the sensor performance of the new Sony A6400. And the good news is that Sony managed to squeeze out some more Dynamic Range from their 24MP sensor compared to the previous Sony A6500.
Now let’s see what kind of improvement the new A6500 successor will bring us once Sony decides it’s time to beat the hell out of the Fuji X-T3 :)
Sony A6400:
USA at BHphoto, Adorama, FocusCamera, Buydig, Amazon.
Europe at Calumet Germany, ParkCameras UK, Jessops.
Asia at Sony Australia and Sony Japan.
We know that Sony will have a new product launch event on April 7. And we heard that a new Sony 8k codec will be unveiled. We also heard unconfirmed info (SR3) about a new Sony RX vloggers camera using the new codec. The A7sIII seems likely to be NOT announced at the show (best we can hope is to get some early prototype info).
Today one of my readers sent me this text and image:
A very well-known and highly respected cinematography channel in China posted this photo saying it’s shot by a 8K 25P camera. And then they said on Weibo that it’s a Sony mirrorless camera. Then they deleted everything before the internet stirs. I couldn’t get a screenshot from their Weibo account saying it’s a Sony mirrorless. I’m not quite sure what’s happening here.
As usual lately it’s Amazon Spain offering a new super Sony deal: Sony 16-35mm GM for 1993 Euro at Amazon Spain (That’s 350 Euro less than the next best price in Germany).

DxOmark published the full Nikon Z7 sensor test:
With the exception of the uppermost sensitivity values, the Nikon Z 7 has a near-identical signal-to-noise ratio to the D850. And although they are both very good, neither can match the Sony A7R III for the majority of the sensitivity range. That said, the values are so close that it’s very unlikely that you’d spot a difference among the images. However, combining the better noise control and dynamic range of the Sony A7R III at higher sensitivity settings could provide an advantage when brightening images post-capture.
