re: Sony pixel shift

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

I previously showed striking results at 42mm ~= 35mm. This is an additional proof, with different lenses.

At 25.5mm with the Fujifilm GF 20-35mm f/4 (21mm in 35mm format), can the Fujifilm GFX100S beat the 60-megapixel Sony A7R V using 4-shot pixel shift mode with Sony motion correction?

With both pixel shift and single-shot images from the Sony A7R V, vs GFX100S. This yields an idea of the fallback case of pitting the A7R V against the GFX100S when for whatever reason pixel shift is not used or is not viable.

SHOOTOUT @ 26mm: FujiFilm GFX100S vs Sony A7R V Pixel Shift: Huge Laurel at Bend in Alpine Creek

Includes images from f/2.8 to f/10 in both pixel shift and single-shot mode on the Sony A7R V, along with the Fujifilm GFX100S images, plus crops and commentary.
