WexPhotographic compared the size of the new Fuji GFX medium format camera versus the Sony A7rII. The GFX sensor has a 60% larger area. Not sure that’s enough to not a “real” image quality difference. By comparison the Full Frame area is 130% bigger than APS-C.

A99II image by Michał Wiatrowski (fotopapiery.pl)
SAR reader Michał Wiatrowski (fotopapiery.pl) managed to save and share a few full size A99II image samples. Michael writes: “It’s a fantastic camera. And in my opinion it’s very good in iso/noise. It’s fast, got a lot of details and this will be my next camera”
UPDATE: Sony asked Michal to remove the RAW files because they were not representative of the final image quality because shot on a preproduction camera. SAR therefore removed the links. Instead you can see full size JPG images at Sony.net.
