I have to say the S20 did surprisingly well, particularly in terms of capture details. The corners also look pretty sharp.

One advantage I notice is that the sky is not blown out in the second picture in the S20, like it is on the Sony. Is that due to the S20 combining multiple exposures?

I don't think the A7III sky is quite blown, but it isn't as heavily tone mapped. Turn the DRO up and the tone mapping will be more similar for the sky....

I agree that the S20's biggest problem is that the pictures are over-processed. I bet that if you shot it in RAW and ran it through the normal post-processing, the images would be very respectable.

I think in raw the S20 will look nasty. It's actually hard to duplicate the quality level that built-in postprocessing is using for the JPEGs.
