REVIEW: Fujifilm x30 – Great, but not a Sony RX 100 III Killer (RonMartBlog)

Boon: “I’ve just posted my comparison of IQ of the JPEG engine between firmware 1.01, 1.02 (previous comparison images) and 1.10 for the A7R. I used the Sony FE 24-70/4 at about 50mm F4 to shoot the images. Other than the faster startup of FW 1.10, I think the image quality has indeed improved, perhaps by at least 1-stop. http://myphotojourney.co.uk/sony-a7r-iq-comparison-of-firmware/“

      1. Given what seems to be happening to the price of used a-mount lenses, it’s princely a good time to pick 1 up 2nd hand…

  1. That last bit from Boon about increased picture quality is great news!

    I just upgrade 3 days ago and have shot on a concert in a very low light since then. Funny, I also thought “damn, those ISO 6400 pictures look great!” I shot JPEG in with low noise reduction. So I obviously didn’t make a direct comparison like Boon, but after having shot the camera for a year now I can definitely say that I also recognied an increased picture quality after the Firmware update.

    Great, news! I really wonder why Sony doesn’t mention those things in their update description. Wondering what else has maybe been improved…

    1. Maybe it’s too small of a change that first time users will not realize? Hence they just keep mum about it?

      I wonder if they solve the B&W High Contrast Artefacts issue. As that one I believe is more related to the image processing then the sensor.

    1. Actually, I’ve been waiting for these reviews.
      Not the performance I expected from the curved sensor, though. I thought it would be as good in corners as it is in the center, but it’s not the case. Hope they improve technology before it gets to Xperia Z4 and RX2

  2. In regard to the firmware update, tested on my A7 and A7R (RAW). I see no different on 1.02 vs 1.1 on the A7 at same lighting level. A tiny bit improved (1/3 to 1/2 stop) on the A7R. Boon’s testing lighting/exposure are completely different from 1.02 to 1.1 so its ready hard to say.
