Laser Damage on Sony A7SII – frying a very expensive sensor

Share

Andy Boyd:

Hot tip: Don’t record laser tattoo removal on…anything. You can see with each pulse the sensor shows new damage. The repair cost was about as much as a new camera so try to avoid this. Club lasers can do this too but we’d never seen the reflection of a laser beam do damage, only when the beam itself hits the sensor.

Nikon Z6 sensor gets DxOmarked and shows basically similar Sony A7III performance

Share

Two news to report:

First, DxO is back testing cameras (see press note at the bottom)
Second, they tested the Nikon Z6 sensor and surprise surprise….there is no surprise :) It uses the same A7III sensor and results are very similar. The small differences are due the different processing of the images.

Press:
PARIS – March 8, 2019 – DxOMark is back to testing DSLRs! The Nikon Z 6 review is the first of many sensor reviews planned for 2019. As mirrorless full-frame cameras are on the rise, this segment will be our focus in upcoming sensor publications.
