re: Sony A7R V Pixel Shift with Motion Correction a Medium Format Killer?
I previously showed striking results at 42mm ~= 35mm as well as at 26mm/21mm, and more. This is an additional proof.
At 63mm with the Fujifilm GF 35-70mm f/4.5-5.6 (50mm in 35mm format), how does the Fujifilm GFX100S compare with 60-megapixel Sony A7R V using 4-shot pixel shift mode with Sony motion correction?
Special attention is paid to artifacts of all kinds from both cameras—motion, noise, staircasing—how do they compare? For the fine-art photographer looking to choose a system, there is much to be learned here.
SHOOTOUT @ 63/50mm: Fujifilm GFX100S vs Sony A7R V Pixel Shift: Creek Bottom at Huge Laurel
Includes images from f/4.5 to f/13.
Unlike the similar comparisons, this shootout scales both the GFX100S and Sony A7R V images to 131 megapixels (3:2 format) for the crops. With both cameras are forced through the same upscaling process, the scaling algorithm itself is minimized in its effects.
Includes 3 image variants from the Sony A7R V: (1) pixel shift, (2) single-shot and (3) 4-frame frame averaged from the pixels shift frames. If for whatever reason the pixel shift images of the A7R V fail to deal well with motion, either single-shot or frame averaging of the 4 images can be used as a fallback and/or to paint in problem areas. The frame averaged images are also ultra-low noise compared to all other variants.
