On Monday Sony will sell the remaining 5% Olympus stake

Share

Back in 2013 Sony bought 11% of Olympus. They helped the company recover after the huge Olympus fraud scandal. Sony now announced that  it will sell the remaining 5% shares on Monday. Reuters reports:

Sony Corp is selling its 5% stake in Olympus Corp back to the Japanese medical equipment maker for 80.4 billion yen ($762.88 million),

Sony said in a statement it decided to sell “considering that the initial purpose of the capital alliance to establish collaboration between Sony and Olympus has been accomplished and after reviewing the rationale for owning the Olympus shares.”

Sony A7rIV versus A7rIII Dynamic Range

Share

Bill Claff  from PhotonsToPhotos measured the  A7rIV dynamic range. He writes:

Slightly behind the ILCE-7RM3 at higher ISO settings.
I don’t think that’s a big deal given the higher resolution.

I  think  this is a great  result if you think the new A7rIV has 50% more resolution. UPDATE: Bill Claff told me the A7rIV  have been normalized to a consistent viewing condition
