Sony a9 III camera sensor test score published by DXOMARK lab. The test score, which we were actually waiting for, is finally here. As we all know, due to the introduction of the global shutter sensor, the image quality of the camera has been compromised, specifically in the dynamic range as well as the low-light performance of the camera. It has limitations to some extent, and it also affects, in a way, the color reproduction of the camera. So, where does it stand against its competitors? Let’s find out in the test table below.
Here’s the table arranged by Overall Score in descending order:

Conclusion for the Sony a9 III:
- Optimized for Action and Sports Photography:
The camera is built for sports shooters, for the first time we have a camera that EXHIBIT 0 ROLLING Shutter issues in any of the frame rates users opts, so we have to appreciate the effort done by Sony to create this machine. Although the approach of the camera is limited.
- Compromises in Image Quality:
The camera performs exceptionally well as a sports camera in terms of AI AF working at 102 FPS mode. The visible trade-offs are the dynamic range and color depth, especially at lower ISOs, which can be seen clearly in the DXO Lab test.
- Good High ISO Performance:
Af detailed test, the DR range is maximum affected up to ISO 800, after that as the ISO climbs up the DR gets similar to other cameras and offers competitive high ISO performance, suitable for fast-paced, low-light scenarios.
- Focus on Speed and Responsiveness:
The emphasis on readout speed makes the a9 III perfect for capturing high-speed events where image quality can be slightly secondary.
- Not Ideal for Landscape or Studio Work:
Due to its lower dynamic range at the base ISO , it may not be the best choice for LANDSCAPE SHOOTERS who require maximum image quality, such as landscape or studio shooters.
Who Should Buy the Sony a9 III?
- Action and sports photographers.
- Wildlife [BIRD] photographers needing fast readout speed for moving subjects.
- Photojournalists covering dynamic and fast-paced events.
- Photographers requiring minimal rolling shutter for video or high-speed stills.

 DJI Mavic 4 Enterprise edition, during its extensive crash test We published the image of the DJI Mavic 4 Pro back on September 24th, 2024. Now, as we all know, the DJI Mavic 4 Pro is in the announcement pipeline, and we have something brand new to share with you.
Today, the image of the DJI Mavic 4 Enterprise edition has been leaked. It’s not the DJI Mavic 4 Pro since the design of the camera is entirely different from what we have seen in the Mavic 4 Pro image. The system reportedly incorporates multiple imaging capabilities:
- Wide-angle lens
- Telephoto lens
- Thermal camera
- Range finder
Since it’s an enterprise edition drone, we can expect some added features, which are mentioned below.
- RTK module mounted on the top surface for enhanced positioning accuracy
- Expansion port on the rear for connecting specialized accessories, including:
- Loudspeaker for public announcements
- LED beacon for enhanced visibility
- Spotlight for night operations or search missions
DJI is always known for innovating things, Stau tuned we will post an update soon as we get any new information.

So in the latest update, we have that Nikon is currently working on the implementation of bird eye autofocus mode in the Nikon Z6 Mark III camera since the camera doesn’t have that particular mode, and many wildlife photographers are disappointed with this.
They have become more disappointed after the release of the Nikon Z50 II, which does have a birds-eye autofocus mode under the $1000 price range.
But not to worry, since, as per the latest information coming out from @Jan Wegener’s YT Channel, Nikon Japan is listening to us, and very soon in upcoming firmware updates, they will add the bird eye AF feature in the Z6 III camera.

As per the latest report we have Nikon’s imaging business has shown steady growth, leading to an upward revision of its forecast for the current fiscal year.
Nikon recently released its latest financial report, revealing that its imaging business maintained strong sales momentum from April 1st to September 30th. Overall sales have steadily increased.
Due to the strong performance of its full-frame Nikon Z8, Nikon Zf, and the new Nikon Z6 III, sales of mid-to-high-end cameras and lenses have been robust, resulting in growth in both sales revenue and profit. Imaging business operating revenue increased by 10.2% year-on-year to 151.791 billion yen, while operating profit rose by 14.4% year-on-year to 28.848 billion yen.
This growth was driven by both cameras and lenses. Camera sales reached 410,000 units (a 20,000 unit increase year-on-year), while lens sales reached 650,000 units (a 40,000 unit increase year-on-year).
Based on this recent strong performance, Nikon has revised its forecast for the current fiscal year. It expects to sell 850,000 cameras (a 50,000 unit increase year-on-year) and 1.35 million lenses (a 100,000 unit increase year-on-year) for the entire fiscal year 2025.

Nikon finally announced the Nikon Z50 Mark II camera, and we published a month ago that its announcement was about to happen soon (Nikon Z50 II Coming, Early Specs Leaked – Aug 30). Now, it has already happened. But it’s not only the Z50 Mark II camera that was in the announcement pipeline; according to the rumors, the next camera after the Z50II is the Nikon Z5 Mark II, which is expected to arrive on or before the first quarter of 2025.
I was thinking of postponing this particular post since it seems quite illogical that Nikon while announcing a full-frame camera, might hurt the sales of the Z50 Mark II camera even if it arrives at a price range near about $1200.
But despite all that logical thinking, I have decided to publish this since the rumors are very strong about the Z5 II’s arrival with a full-frame BSI CMOS sensor, like the one we’ve seen in the Nikon Z6 Mark II camera. So, it will indeed be a huge upgrade if the Z5 II features the 24MP BSI CMOS sensor from the Z6 II camera.
Key Features
- 24.5MP Full-Frame BSI CMOS Sensor
- Expeed 7 image processor
- 4K UHD 30p / Full HD 120p Video Recording, 1.5x 60p with crop
- 273-Point Hybrid AF with Eye and Animal Detection
- 5-Axis In-Body Image Stabilization
- Bright 3.69M-Dot OLED Electronic Viewfinder
- 3.2″ Tilting Touchscreen LCD
- Dual UHS-II SD Card Slots
- Built-In Wi-Fi and Bluetooth Connectivity
- USB-C Charging and Power Delivery Support
We’ll update you as soon as we get the latest information.

Conclusion Verdict
The Nikon Z50 II camera now has much-improved autofocus and also a low-light sensor, which helps to extract the maximum amount of detail possible in uncontrolled lighting environments or in any outdoor location. For wedding and event photography, we recommend you to go with Nikon Z50 II
Now, for sports and wildlife, it depends on which camera you like to buy since both are very capable. But again, due to the presence of a BSI CMOS sensor, the Z50 Mark II camera will perform better in uncontrolled lighting environments, specifically when you are using this camera for wildlife or bird photography. However, for sports events, you can take the Canon R10 with you when there is no big issue with light, as sports events generally happen during daylight. So, you may utilize the R10, and also, in sports events, you may require more reliable autofocus tracking, which is present in the Canon R10 alongside its slightly faster 15 fps mechanical shutter.
For day-to-day usage and street photography, I am going to recommend the Nikon Z50 Mark II camera. Due to the nature of its sensor and construction, the camera is able to capture clear shots and also has high low-light autofocus sensitivity compared to the R10. So more or less, for uncontrolled lighting environments of any type, the Nikon Z50 Mark II is more recommended. 165

Nikon Z50 II Image Quality Test
Nikon Z30 / Zfc Image samples have been taken here since Nikon Z50 II and Zfc, both of them share the same sensor, so image quality is expected to remain exactly same as of the Nikon Z50 Mark II. Image credit dpreview.com
In the Image below we have compared the Nikon Z30 vs Canon R10 Images at ISO 25600, in RAW mode, as you can see the details are much preserved in Nikon Z50 II file
Next comparison Even in the JPEG comparison below you can see that Nikon is preserving more details compared to the Canon R10 FSI CMOS sensor.
During the base ISO test we can see the letters in the Nikon Z50 II are more clearly visible than those of the Canon R10, despite having higher resolution Canon isn’t able to extract the amount of details they should at the base ISO range
In the JPEG Mode, the performance of the Canon R10 Camera is much improved which may be due to JPEG filters the Nikon Z30 sample at base ISO losing a bit of details which was visible in the RAW Mode.
Verdict / Conclusion Image Quality
In terms of image quality, the Nikon Z50 II performs better than the Canon R10 at higher ISO settings, particularly when shooting in RAW mode. The Nikon Z50 II (or Z30) tends to capture more details at higher ISOs due to its 20MP sensor and lack of a low-pass filter, which helps to maintain fine textures.
However, at base ISO, when shooting in JPEG, the Canon R10 may show slightly more detail due to its higher 24MP resolution. But if you’re shooting in RAW at base ISO, the Nikon cameras can still provide a slightly clearer picture due to the low-pass-less design, which can enhance sharpness. Overall, for detail preservation, the Nikon Z50 II’s 20MP sensor has a slight edge, especially for those who prioritize high ISO performance and RAW shooting.
