a99 and D800 high ISO samples

[cosmonaut]

You knew it was coming LOL. I am not much to take the time to do this kind of stuff, but let's go with it. ISO posted on the print. Any ideas how I can test the dynamic range? Maybe shoot a landscape with both of the same thing and same setting? Nikon certainly looks like it has the best color depth.

The two Sony frames seem to have better (more-accurate) white balance. BOTH images look pretty darned good to have been shot at such high ISO values. Modern sensors are amazing!!!

I agree. Who could want more?

How's the EVF in low light?

If you shoot at ISO 12800 alot, I bet you'd want more.

Well really as good as an optical one. I cant see in the dark but the focus peaking will work somewhat in really low light and outline some part of the landscape, enough for critical focus. I really forget i am looking at a digital image. So I would have tp give it good marks. Focus Peaking is a landscapers dream tool though. That and the articulating screen.

My over all idea with this wasn't to make one camera look good and the other bad. I had a Carl Zeiss lens on the Sony but the Nikon also has a much bigger sensor, 36 mpix vs. 24 mpix. I would never take anything away from Nikon. This is just to let any Sony shooters on the fence with the idea of buying an a99 see the results. As I myself live many miles from a store that would have the a99 demo to look at. It is a much better camera than they think. the dynamic range blows the a900 off of the map. I think the a99 would last one many years without the need to upgrade for better IQ. Low noise all the way up to 128000 who goes that high? Certainly not me....

As for the EVF. I can't show you an image from inside the finder but the image will be an exact match of the LCD. So the EVF is the same as Live View. If that helps.

Awesome.

Is that really ISO 128000 ? Wow...

Not bad, how about a 100% crop comparison? The Nikon has 36mp's and that's pretty good noise performance for it. What was the focal point on those pictures btw?

The camera in the shot is much better than the ones taking

I just auto focused but was getting the focus point around the self timer lever.

No argument there. Still kicking at fifty plus years.

Yes that's 128000 ISO. Hard to believe I know. You should see the DR.
