Yet another benchmark site ranking the Sony a7III image quality performance highly. It almost makes me wonder if Sony will cut the Sony a7RIII product cycle short and release a Sony a7RIV if sales start to slump.
“Sitting between the Sony a S and R models, the sensor in the A7 was always a balance between resolution and sensitivity, but that’s no longer the case. On sensor performance alone, particularly with regard to low light / high ISO sensitivity, the Sony A7 III is ahead of the A7S II and comes very close to the overall image quality potential of the A7 RIII. What was once a showcase model for some interesting camera tech, the A7 III can now add cutting-edge low-light sensor performance to the mix. That may change when Sony releases the A7S III, but in the meantime, priced at around $2,000, it’s not asking for the earth in return.”
You can read the full review at DXOmark, but Sony still needs to fix their menus to gain a broader audience. Every camera today can take a good picture and we are largely splitting hairs with the current generation coming out. I have been happy with mirrorless image quality since the Leica M9, Sony NEX-7, and Fujifilm X-T1. What else can companies like Sony and Fujifilm throw at us to keep us buying if they aren’t going to attack the smartphone industry?
