One of my first attempts with a7rIII at pixelshift mode.
The light was really flat and ugly, but i've been pretty lucky in obtaining good details with few artifacts.

Slightly cropped at 16:9 aspect ratio.

Do you have a non-PS version of this scene to compare with?

Wow, super sharp, but there I a halo around that tower.I found I needed to turn down the sharpening in the Imaging Edge program as default seems to oversharpen.

What a beautiful image!



Incredible detail :]

What if you shoot multiples pictures using R2, but use the same software to process the picture. Does it work?
 
Astonishing detail, and a little eerie. I can't find a single living being except for a few birds. Where is everybody?

Haven't tried, but it won't produce the pixel shift effect - and associated benefits - unless the sensor shifted (stepped) through a one pixel quadrant between shots.

At best, you'd get the result you'd expect from stacking 4 frames. A bit less noise and more DR, slight bump in sharpness. But not the full pixel shift effect.

Nice and sharp, but was the sky really that color?

Amount of detail is crazy. Except on the far right side where things get somewhat mushy towards the edge, unlike the left side which is razor sharp. Can't be DoF, must be a lens really.

The lens could be decentered or sensor tilted but I felt there was something odd happening on the left edge directly across from that statue on the right. The roof tiles look like you're looking at it cross-eyed or maybe it is just the angle.
 
This is the version without PS (the first of the four shots), processed in C1.
The difference is in the tiny details.

I'm bothered by the steam column coming out of one of the chimneys (right below the green building), looks like a bunch of pixels there.

Would never have noticed if u hadn't mentioned it. Its so small you could just mask it with a non PS shot and no one would ever notice

Wow, this really makes a difference! Whether it can be seen when printed at 240 dpi up-res'ed to 360 dpi like I often do remains to be seen. But when looking at the screen at a distance to simulate this I can still see the difference quite easily with many parts of the image, for example the brick facades.

Just paint those parts out in PS from a single image. Too bad that the software doesn't do this automagically. But if you really want the ultimate print from your a7R III, putting in that work isn't asked too much, methinks.
 
There are some doves on the white building in the lower left, but they are not flying.
