OK I'll bite, what the hell is the Arsenal? Never heard of it. Greg.

Plus elongated stars seem to gain colour fringing with this technique. It does really require some decent tracking. Greg.

Thanks Mark. That is pretty much what I have concluded. That it is a worthwhile tool and it does help. I am not sure if it will work on some 14mm type images when you angle up to catch the Milky ...

Yes mine went smoothly as well. You have to be careful to use the Sony USB cable to connect your camera though. I think in the past I wasn't and it made the whole process unstable. So now I have ...

Yes same experience here. Fuji's is quite crude and I believe it often misses. Once you know how to use eye detect and it locks on bang, that eye is in perfect focus. I find it extremely useful for ...

I just tested my A7r3 with V2.0 firmware and yes I can see an improvement in the IBIS as well. I don't think that firmware update was for A7r2 as well or was it? It was an earlier firmware but it ...

I doubt anyone can interpret that unless Sony communicates more clearly. At a guess it sounds like an improvement in the demosaicing process or perhaps implementing the colour science improvements ...

The only identifying marking is the 1/4,2/4,3/4,4/4 numbering on the bottom of the image as shown in Viewer. Pretty poor show really. The software should detect and keep separate the 4 Pixel Shift ...

Even if it wasn't the Sony FF cameras are still the leaders. Whether Canikon can come up with more unique lenses that Sony can't will be plain for all to see and not just opinion. Greg.

I haven't had any problems with mine (had it for about a year). I don't use burst mode though. Greg.

You are right it does require tracking and the tracking has to be fairly good (round stars basically so that would not suit someone who is hiking). it does suppress noise as any stacking will. The ...

Yes and its also like filtered imaging with a mono sensor where every RGB and clear filter image is full rez of the sensor. The IBIS shifts the sensor 1 pixel so each of the RGB gets the full ...

You may want to try with different cards (I just remembered it takes XQD cards). Tell me, are all XQD cards similar in speed or are they different like SD cards? 76 minutes before overheating ...

I would love to see some starry night/milky way shots from an EOS R. Say 30 seconds 14mm F2.8 ISO3200 would do it. I would really want to known if the banding shows up in that sort of scene. Greg.

That seems like a very well balanced and accurate assessment of both cameras. Perhaps the colour rendition of the EOS R compared to the Sony could have been mentioned. It would also be nice to see ...

The thing that appeals to me most watching this camera's performance unfold is the colour. Wow, these sample photos are sensational colourwise. I thought Fuji has great colour but this seems even ...

Thanks for the first impressions. How did you find the autofocus? Greg.

Yes you are most likely right but the images I processed look different in terms of star shapes compared to the non Pixel Shift. I wonder. Probably wishful thinking though. Greg.

https://support.d-imaging.sony.co.jp/support/ilc/psms/en/index.html I am not seeing green stars in my image, I see a few that are tad cyan and I think that may have been some colour processing that ...

That's very good. I wish Sony would develop something like that but I don't think its very likely. But it would be a nice utilisation of the IBIS feature so its got several uses, image ...
