I look forward to a re-test with different glass and would really like software that I am sure is optimized for both the Sony and the Zs.Īnd Iliah, I used FastRawViewer because it is the cleanest most even handed converter I know of. This makes no sense to me given the resolution difference between the Z7 and the Sony. Regarding the resolution strip below the Fiddlers Elbow, both the Zs faded to a blur at the edge but the Sony could distinguish the final bars albeit daubed in color noise. Unless the testers re-oriented the red swatch between these tests, the Sony was showing an overly bright weave in a different direction than seen in the Z7. The Z7 could detect the weave in all of the cloth swatches with the Z6 missing some. The Sony blurred the finer portions with color moiré but the Zs had none and were quite clear. This extra color noise made a huge difference in examining the fine graduations on the Proportional Scale. Compared with the two Zs, the Sony was much more saturated in color and had much more color noise. Overall, as you might expect the Z6 and Z7 are similar but with a slight (and only slight) edge to the Z7 in resolution.

Not considering cancelling Z order but Z6 or Z7 keeps me up at night.įollowing Jerry Fisher’s request, I downloaded the Z7 NEF image from Imaging Resources at 6400 ISO with no noise reduction and compared it with the same from the Z6 and A73. Here are the raw files if anyone wants to run a better side by side and comment. ISO 6400 from z6 and Z7 and give your comments? So I think there is a good chance that the test is flawed or misrepresents the true comparison between these cameras and there is no reason yet to cancel your pre-orders.Ĭould you run a comparison of these 2 NEF Files. My guess is that the focus is off but I do not know. So is it depth-of-field? Yet the 60mm is really sharp edge to edge and at that distance and f8 there should be about 2.5 feet of DOF. I find it difficult to believe that the pixels at the edge of the sensor are any different than those in the middle. There is a dramatic fall off in sharpness close to the bottom edge of the Nikon image, but why is that? I am also troubled at the fuzziness in the resolution strips at the bottom of the image. Now, who knows what FastRawViewer uses to process the original file, but it is at least as valid a test as looking at SOOC jpegs.Ģ. The Nikon was much sharper than the Sony.

The Sony was a mess of noisy colored blobs and the Nikon was fairly clean.

As we do not have an approved post-processor at this stage, I downloaded samples at 6400 ISO with noise reduction off and opened them both in FastRawViewer. Things are very different when you look at the Raw files. As I never shoot jpeg the test is meaningless for me. the images are SOOC jpegs and therefore depend to a large degree on the sharpening built into the camera and whatever defaults were selected by the manufacturer. BUT I am quite troubled with this comparison in two distinct ways:ġ. We never share any image files sent to us.These tests show that the Sony A73 is sharper than the Nikon Z6. If you have RAW files from Nikon cameras that FastRawViewer can't open properly, please send us an email and provide us with sample files.
