Sensor battle: Canon losing terrain against Sony
DxOmark just published the Canon 650D sensor results. And once again we can see how Canon is struggling to get on par with Sony sensors. The Sony A65 dynamic range the beats the Canon by one stop! Still the Sony cameras would be even much better without the Translucent mirror: “we know from having tested various types of Translucent Mirror Technology that such systems usually reduce low-light scores by about 1/3 to 1/2EV. The SLT-A65 does in fact divert a portion of incoming light to support its electronic viewfinder, and… this is pretty much the only reason that the 650D can compete with Sony’s DSLR video in terms of low-light sensitivity.”
Anyway, the difference between the A77 and NEX-7 are negligible (here is the comparison). I really want to see how good the new [shoplink 14165]Sony A99[/shoplink] and RX1 sensor will be. And of course, if there is a major difference between the two.
Coming back to Canon, at least on the sensor front they are now clearly behind the competition. And keep in mind that Nikon, Olympus and very likely also Panasonic are now using Sony sensors too!
