UPDATE: At 1:08 I labelled the left photo as Sony a1 when it was from the Sony a7R IV. I just selected the wrong photo when recording the screencast, but the summary of the sharpness section remains the same: All the cameras capture basically the same detail.

[@guillaume7707]

Hello Tony & Chealsea, thanks for this great review. That's a lot of work. In the video I see you can use Lightroom with the alpha 1's pictures. Does it mean that Lightroom is updated to support the alpha 1's RAW files? My Lightroom does not support the alpha 1's RAW files and it slows my workflow a lot. Thanks

[@cogmission1]

Tony, why do you keep saying, "The A1 is a high speed camera and gives you both high resolution AND high speed...", (paraphrased slightly) - and THEN saying at the end that the Canon R5 won when clearly it can't compete speedwise (...and it has h'orrendous rolling shutter)? This is the second time? (Beyond the fact that you left out the REST of the advantages to the A1 over the R5)! Highly annoying... (and erroneous that your conclusion would be summarized as a win for R5, when it can't even compete in the same league when looking at the entirety of its offerings). The Alpha 1 was the ONLY camera that could give you a clean image in that room, yet you say the R5 didn't do that bad? The A1 also preserved more of the highlights, and the shadow test fractional and you (of course) gave it to the R5? Z5 comparison was with totally incompatible ISOs! This is getting ridiculous? Then you say R5 was best all around? Laughable? --- Tony: "The Alpha 1 gives you all the megapixels AND gives you the high speed." The comparison should have just ended with that. It was over at that point because the R5 (and all the others cannot do that, and probably not for a few years!) - The other 14 minutes are a waste... Especially with the false conclusion at the end! __ Also, there are some problems with your test procedures, but nobody's perfect. But anyway, sad to see you have it out for Sony to this degree... What did they do to you? (It appears Tony isn't a PPA member? Why is it advocated?)

[@stevemurnan1702]

@@cogmission1 Have you used an R5? The rolling shutter is really no big deal and isn't 'horrendous' as you claim. I shoot BIF mainly and rarely encounter it and can shoot 20fps full raw with no problem. I have to pan really quickly against a background containing lots of vertical uprights to induce it.

[@networm64]

Except from that BIG MISTSKE you mentioned above, you didn't even show a head to head shot of r5 and a1 in terms of details! Also lens sharpness has a major role in detail comparison, again using an old zoom lens by Sony which in term of sharpness is nothing comparable to recent lenses from all manufacturers including Sony itself! Why not using prime lenses? And final note; you skipped talking about Sony A1's awesome flash sync speed of 1/400s at 2:42 jumping from a7r4 to pixel-shift term and then showing the pixel-shift result of A1! I'm not going hard on you Tony but just mentioned these to tell you we understand that! But I'm OK with your recent take on Sony's products as remind me of your past attitude to canon products like original R which lead them to make this big leap to the r5....so yes keep going to get harsh on Sony to push them to get better and better! Thank you

[@Itzsirvincent]

[@DustinAbbottTWI]

Nicely done. Looking forward to getting my hands on an A1. I'm leaning towards dropping my RIII and a9 and going with a single A1.

[@cogmission1]

I am as well. This "review" (if you can call it that), leaves out a TON of other advantages to the Alpha 1: 1. Full size HDMI 2. 2x faster USB at 10Gb/s! 3. Ethernet port 4. Micro USB control port 5. Digital hot shoe (Cordless microphone!) 6. Simultaneous recording (to even different media types). 7. 6x Much longer 8k recording (infinite when using dummy battery) 8. Better heat dissipation design (on TOP of more compact body size) 9. Blazingly fast cool down vs. Unusable R5 after first heat warning (basically). 10. Negligible rolling shutter vs. Extreme R5 Jello. 11.1/400s master sync speed vs. 1/250 for R5. 12. 1/32000 to 30sec. shutter vs. 1/8000 to 30sec. for R5. The list goes on... (except when reviewed by the Northrups)

Another fun perk of that low base ISO on the Z7ii is you can push it to ISO 32, then shoot at 0.95 in daylight 1/8000, which is a niche and fun advantage. Plus, it’s great for landscapes.

Also... how many shots did you take for the test at each exposure-compensation per camera. Not saying that the Northrups don't know how to do a proper test, but I'm a physicist, I miss those details... maybe even standard deviations or boxplots. Sometimes I wish I had the time to go and engage in such tests for a week. I'd probably go way overboard but I like my quantitative analyses.

Hi, thanks for another great video. I currently shoot with Nikon D850 and like the lack of AA filter. Does the R5’s AA filter impact sharpness in a noticeable way? You mentioned the A1 but didn’t specifically dive into the impact of the AA on the R5’s image quality. If Nikon don’t hugely lift their game, I’m looking to switch systems. AA filter is putting me off Canon, so would like to know how much of a real world problem it is.

[@MoizIsmaili]

Nice knowledge shared, thanks

[@stuartschaffner9744]

I am so pleased to see that several manufacturers are fielding high quality sensors with such high pixel density. My background tends to emphasize that bigger pixels mean more photons and hence a cleaner signal. However your results show how much can be done with the standard format size. I am a bit concerned about your dynamic range and ISO tests, for all of the cameras. The limitation seemed to be a colored uniform haze rather than noise. In particular the colored "200" marking was so much more obscured than the adjacent white ones. This to me strongly hints of flare in the lens or camera body rather than problems with the sensors. I can suggest two tests for flare. First, your brilliant high-tone backlighting would give even the most expensive prime a hard time. So, try a low-tone background and see if there is an improvement. I would also suggest using prime lenses for these tests anyway. These comments are meant to help, not criticize. Thanks for doing all this careful work!

[@joshuatatro4503]

12:36 - So I think this is the thing that people miss or overlook when discussing the Sony A1, namely that it provides everything that's great about the 1DX III or D6 *and* then some with higher resolution, better AF abilities, much better video options, etc. I agree that the R5 seems to come close, and for a lot of people probably makes more sense given the price differential -- but if you're a high-end sports shooter with fast turnarounds, Sony looks like they've sealed the deal in that niche, and for a competitive price (remember the 1DX III is also $6500).

[@garygrimes9846]

Is the A1 shot done in electronic shutter or mechanical (in DR test)?

I don't understand how an electronic and mechanical shutter would change the effect of banding from flickering lights. I expect that the camera would represent the available light at a particular shutter speed, if the shutter speed is fast enough it should freeze the bands right?

I'm confused about the detail portion of the test. Why isn't the a7r4, with 20-33% more pixels, not noticeably sharper than the others? Is the lens the limiting factor?

因为放大的比其他机器多，应该缩小到一样大对比，像素越多越清晰，这是毋庸置疑的。

Just had a though, I think Canon has pushed the monobloc sensor design to it's absolute limit here. It competes really well with the A1 in terms of readout speed but can't quite overtake it. It would be really interesting to see what sort of sensor Canon comes up for their flagship mirrorless (if we are to see one at least).
