re: Sony pixel shift

Apropos Sony A7R V Pixel Shift with Motion Correction a Medium Format Killer? ...

Can the Fujifilm GFX100S beat the 60-megapixel Sony A7R V using 4-shot pixel shift mode with Sony motion correction? The photographic world has changed in a way I did not anticipate. Incredible!

SHOOTOUT: FujiFilm GFX100S vs Sony A7R V Pixel Shift: Huge Laurel at Bend in Alpine Creek

Includes images from f/4.5 to f/11 in both pixel shift and single-shot mode on the Sony A7R V, along with the Fujifilm GFX100S images. I hardly need comment (your eyes at a glance will suffice), but there are lots of crops and commentary nonethless.

A similar piece comparing Sony A7R V pixel shift vs single shot is coming in diglloyd Mirrorless.

For many types of photography, the Sony A7R V is the most important camera in years because of Sony motion correction with pixel shift, even setting aside its other improvements (fantastic EVF, AI-AF, 8K video, etc).
