Sony a9III: B&H Photo / Amazon / Adorama
Sony FE 300mm f/2.8 GM OSS: B&H Photo / Amazon / Adorama
Photons to photos published the PDR results of the Sony a9III and the camera does a good job of hanging with the Sony a9II, a9II, and even the a7RV at high ISO. The global shutter takes a toll on dynamic range, but the cost appears to be a quite reasonable trade-off for the extreme performance of the Sony a9III. If you want to manipulate the chart and results you can do so here.
| Camera Model | Maximum PDR | Low Light ISO | Low Light EV |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sony ILCE-9 | 10.47 | 6612 | 11.05 |
| Sony ILCE-9M2 | 10.90 | 5709 | 10.84 |
| Sony ILCE-9M3 | 10.00 | 2640 | 9.72 |
| Canon EOS 1000D | 11.70 | 6612 | 10.71 |
