The example shot posted was taken at ISO12k, 1/3200s. This ISO doesn't give you much latitude for recovering anything really. These shots are probably mostly bust, unfortunately. With the older A7 ...

You are a tourist. Depending on where you end up, you will always stick out, no matter what. And then it doesn't matter whether your long lens looks white or black or has some camo look, it is a ...

It is about what the primary sujet is, whether there is public interest in the thing and also if the sujet can be identified. If you perform something on the street, you become potential public ...

I differ between blowing dust from the sensor, which is easy to do, and actually having to clean the sensor, potentially some form of "wet" cleaning even. Latter shouldn't be needed if you get a ...

To even quote the article: "On the flip side, smaller pixels can result in fuzzy or dull pictures, due to the smaller area that each pixel receives light information from. The impasse between the...

The problem is, that most of the post-processing uses the (amount of) information available for each pixel. Less information, less options.

Downscaling happens as one of the last parts in the...

That is the theory. However, in post-processing, the amount of information each pixel has is *important*. Whoever thinks that the analogue world applies all the same to the digital may have missed...

That is exactly the point. The other thing is, that "ISOless" implicitely assumes your data values are endlessly fine grained / analogue. In reality that is not the case, for FF it is usually 14...

I'd suggest you actually get various cameras and put them through the hoops in dark(er) environments and then post-process the images. As noted already, digital photography doesn't stop with the...

@spider-mario: But the normal studio scene doesn't show this deep shadow issue is what I'm saying. You will need to check for this specifically. I can push shadows by like 3 stops on my A7s at...

@Peak freak: I suggest you take an A7r4 and an A7s, make some pictures in the dark and then post-process these. This could be an eye-opening experience, and not in the way you expect ...

The core...

@Peak freak: While it is clear that there have been improvements for the photosites, the fact still stands that bigger buckets give you a cleaner signal for that bucket.

The core issue is that...

Because everyone boils stuff with hot water. The question is, what Canon ends up using, because it is not only the sensor, but the entire processing chain behind it, too. You will need up-to-date...

The problem is, that the (perceived) resulting image quality depends on many different factors, and a lot of people favor resolution detail over other factors, and this personal preference is ...

The A7s has 55% fill factor without the microlenses. Means every pixel collects more light than any other camera of the A7 line ever will be able to. Using it and processing the files, and I'm not ...

Well, you assume that all the lines are activated at the same time for exposure, but then read out sequentially. Chances are good that they are activated sequentially as well :)

The sensor will not "read" darkness and overwrite what was before, but it accumulates light (or more like the electrons the light has been converted into) until the actual read out of that pixel. ...

It is about the light hitting the sensor. If you have for example short exposure times the mechanical shutter is set up in a way that the upper and lower shutter part form a slit, which slides in ...

The actual OP had not only exposure +1.05, but also shadows lifted by +24 or so, whatever that means in reality. Considering that in OP's example image the absolute black is still black and shows ...

However, following the normal logic, why even mess around with quad-bayer and binning and similar things, if according to forum wisdom just downscaling in post is sufficient to counter the higher ...
