This is the very first Dynamic Range image test comparison between the Canon 5DSr and Sony A7rII done by Tim Parkin from On Landscape. Tim writes:

“We can obviously see a considerable difference here and so straight out of lightroom the A7Rii is nothing short of incredible. Let me remind you, this is +5 exposure and +100 shadow recovery!”

Tim still wants to make more tests to confirm this so take it with a grain of salt. And obviously we have to see more test made by different reviewers before to draw any conclusion. But if those will confirm Tim’s conclusion well the new Sony smokes out the new 50MP Canon…

UPDATE: Tim sent me an additional note: “Might be worth putting a little note on the blog post that the Sony A7Rii had more headroom in the highlights and the 6 stops was measured from there – hence why the exposures aren’t the same. “

Also Gordon from CameraLabs posted a first hands-on review:

With the Mark II the A7r has grown-up quickly to become a camera that needs no excuses. I still lament the absence of a touch-screen, but otherwise the A7r Mark II is shaping up to be an extremely promising camera.

Ongoing A7rII owners discussion can be followed on our SonyAlphaForum.
