Sony A7R III ties Nikon’s D850 with a 100 DxOMark Score

Last month, DxOMark reported that the Nikon D850 unseated the Sony A7R II with the best score for a full frame camera in its sensor evaluations. The Sony A7R II scored a 98, while the Nikon D850 scored a 100. Now that DxOMark has put the Sony A7R III through its paces, Sony is back on top – right next to the D850.

The only cameras to beat the Sony A7R III and Nikon D850 are the Hasselblad X1D-50C and Pentax 645Z (both medium format cameras).

You can read more on the results and comparisons from the Sony A7R III’s evaluation here on the DxOMark website.
