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 Sony A7R III scored a 100 on the DxOMark sensor evaluation. While the Nikon D850 edged the Sony A7R III out in the color and dynamic range categories, the A7R III bested the D850 in the low light category.
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.
