Another test:
Photonstophotos tested the sensor performance of the new Sony A6400. And the good news is that Sony managed to squeeze out some more Dynamic Range from their 24MP sensor compared to the previous Sony A6500.
Now let’s see what kind of improvement the new A6500 successor will bring us once Sony decides it’s time to beat the hell out of the Fuji X-T3 :)

USA at BHphoto, Adorama, FocusCamera, Buydig, Amazon.
Europe at Calumet Germany, ParkCameras UK, Jessops.
Asia at Sony Australia and Sony Japan.
DxOmark published the full Nikon Z7 sensor test:
With the exception of the uppermost sensitivity values, the Nikon Z 7 has a near-identical signal-to-noise ratio to the D850. And although they are both very good, neither can match the Sony A7R III for the majority of the sensitivity range. That said, the values are so close that it’s very unlikely that you’d spot a difference among the images. However, combining the better noise control and dynamic range of the Sony A7R III at higher sensitivity settings could provide an advantage when brightening images post-capture.

When it comes to the video performance the new $899 Sony A6400 literally destorys the new $1299 Canon EOS-RP. It beats the hell out of the Canon in terms of dynamic range, video specs, autofocus speed and so on…

Fengniao shared new hands-on images with the Tamron 17-28mm f/2.8 FE lens:
And here is a hands-on video from Matt Granger:
Lensrentals tested the MTF of the new Sony 135mm GM lens:
These results are insanely good. At 100 lp/mm the Sony 135mm f/1.8 GM has a higher MTF than most excellent primes do at 50 lp / mm. If you don’t speak MTF, basically that means this lens can resolve fine details that would be a blur on excellent lenses. This is the sharpest lens we’ve tested. Period.
