Sony announced RX100 IV camera features newly developed sensor, the sensor comes with stacked backside-illuminated technology to enhance its low-light capabilities, Sony engineers placed its photodiodes between the rear of the lens and sensor’s underlying processing structure, hence the light capturing capability improved remarkably,
Now its time to take a look at the high ISO test between Sony RX100 IV and
Sony RX100 IV camera vs Canon G1X Mark II, The resolution of the G1X Mark II camera is limited to 12 Megapixels only by having a 1.5 inch sensor on the other hand the SonyRX100 IV features a 1 inch sensor with 20 Megapixel resolution,
Due to large sensor and less resolution the Canon G1X Mark II produces bit more details compared to the Sony RX100 M4 camera in both ISO test.
Sony RX100 IV uses newly developed stacked CMOS sensor, so does this tech help the RX100 IV camera to show significant difference compared to its predecessor, may be yes .. Since at ISO 3200 as well as at 6400 Sony RX100 M IV camera is able to grab out bit more details compared to RX100 M III, however I am not able to spot any significant difference between these two camera.
The LX100 features a 4/3 sensor, the sensor is large compared to the Sony RX100 camera… the LX100 features 12MP sensor whereas the Sony RX100 III features a 20 Megapixel CMOS sensor, since the LX100 large sensor we can clearly see the advantage in the image quality of the camera at ISO 3200, however I am surprised to see that at 6400 the image look more flat compared to the RX100 IV camera.
We are confirmed that the Canon G7X is using the BSI CMOS sensor of RX100 M3 and on the other hand the Sony RX100 M IV is using newly developed Stacked BSI CMOS sensor, however the difference is minimal and Sony RX100 IV is showing marginal better performance.
Leica Q is Just announced by Leica and Sony RX1R is now almost 1 year old, take a look at the detailed specification review between these two camera.
Major Difference
Leica Q (Typ 116) vs. Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX1R Specification Comparison Table.
Megapixel:- The Leica Q (typ 116) and the Sony DSC-RX-1R have same resolution. It is powered by full frame 24MP CMOS sensor and Maestro II Image Processor and it can capture high resolution images on the other hand Sony DSC-RX-1R has Full-Frame 24.3 MP sensor and BIONZ Image Processor which offers high level of quality image .
ISO:- The Leica Q (typ 116) has more High ISO range compare to Sony DSC-RX-1R. Technically it has approx 1 stop more ISO compare to Sony DSC-RX-1R. Its high ISO offers the users to shoot event, wedding, street shooting and low-light work photography and also the users can shoot in dull and dim light with more accuracy. The users of Sony DSC-RX-1R can work in only controlled light environment like in their studio.
Fast Image Processor inside the Leica Q – The Leica Q image processor is more advance than of Sony’s BionzX since the continuous shooting speed is directly proportional to the type of image processor used in the camera and since both the camera uses same size of Sensor and features exactly same resolution but the Leica Q continuous shooting speed 10fps mark on the other hand the Sony RX1R shutter speed limited to 5fps only, that clearly shows that the processing power of Leica Q is better than Sony RX1R camera.
Continuous Shooting Speed: Leica Q (typ 116) offers 10 fps shooting rate which supports the low-noise performance and wide dynamic range comparative to Sony DSC-RX-1R.
Low-Pass filter:- The Leica Q (typ 116) features low –pass filter which eliminates the production of moire but it also reduces the fine details when viewed in full resolution. No low-pass filter in Sony DSC-RX-1R which results Excellent details in the image whe n viewed at 100%, both the lens and image sensor shows the best performance.
This camera is suitable for professional users so they can drag out the full details or even recompse the image after shooting without loosing the image quality of the image. Aperture Range:- The aperture of the Leica Q (typ 116) is smaller than the Sony DSC-RX-1R, which is the advantage for Leica because aperture affects the depth of field as well as the low-light capability of the camera, the smaller the aperture, the greater is the zone of sharpness and hence in this regard Sony DSC-RX-1R has F2.0 aperture which
Macro:- The Leica Q (typ 116) has macro mode of 17cm comparatively a little better than Sony DSC-RX-1R’s 14cm.
Since Macro mode is commonly used to photographing flowers, insects or other small creatures or things, it is just like to take a close-up view of the things.
Image Stabilization:- There is no of image Stabilization in Leica Q (typ 116) but Sony DSC-RX-1R has optical SteadyShot image stabilization which helps to minimize the unwanted camera shake without making any alterations to the image and the users get blur-free images.
AF Points:- No AF Points is present / mentioned by the manufacturer in Leica Q (typ 116) but Sony DSC-RX-1R has 25 AF Points. Hence due to 25 AF Points, the users of Sony DSC-RX-1R enjoy the more improved speed and accuracy in focus and hence there is increase in the chance that the camera finds out and focus on real subject instead of something else.
The function of AF Points is also supported by its BIONZ image processor; which results in high speed auto focusing in variety of lighting conditions.
Shutter:- The Leica Q (typ 116) has fast shutter speed comparative to Sony DSC-RX-1R. Hence it can help the users to freeze the action of any subject completely. Also Shutter speed is a measure of how long a camera’s sensor is exposed.
Video:- Both Leica Q (typ 116) and Sony DSC-RX-1R record full HD 1080p video, so there is no major difference in image quality.
Display:- Leica Q (typ 116) features 3.0″ 1,040k-Dot LCD Touchscreen which is touch capable and the users can make fast changes to their settings.
Price difference: The Leica Q will cost you approx $4,250 and on the other hand the Sony RX1R will cost you approx $2,798, that clearly indicates that you have to pay a big amount ($1400 more compared to RX1R) of money while getting the Q.
Viewfinder missing in RX1R – With Leica Q you also get a high quality viewfinder, no viewfinder available in the RX1R camera,
Verdict: The Big problem with Leica is it’s price tag, the camera will cost your $1400 more compared to the Sony RX1R, but the Leica Q features bright aperture Lens, more ISO range, fast continuous shooting speed, better display unit and EVF, however if you want to save some bucks than RX1R is also a prefect option.

Major Difference
Sony Alpha 7R II vs. Sony Alpha 7R Specification Comparison Table.
.Megapixels: –
Let’s start with the resolution of both the camera, there is no much difference in the resolution between them but SonyA7R II has comparatively a bit more resolution than its predecessor Sony A7R.
Sony A7R II is based on the world’s first back-illuminated full-frame sensor 42.4 MP Exmor R BSI CMOS Sensor and No optical low pass filter inside it gives you vast amounts of details when used with recommended set of lenses. Sony A7R is limited to 36.4MP Exmor CMOS Sensor with No Optical Low Pass Filter .
Both the cameras have used the similar Exmor R CMOS sensor but Sony A7R II has followed the BSI (back-illuminated) technology which increased the ISO range from 25600 to 102400 . Hence the presence of BSI technology and bit high resolution in Sony A7R II makes it superior to Sony A7R.
Image Stabilization:-
Sony A7R II is packed with a 5-axis SteadyShot INSIDE image stabilization system. Such type of system provides the solution for five types of camera shake during shooting of still images and videos. Due to the presence of this system the users can use any lens, even adapted lenses, for imagery without facing any problems due to camera shake. This system offers about 4.5 stops of shutter speed during shooting different varieties of subjects.
It’s all the 5 axis of stabilization system runs every time, even if the users used with third –party lenses and adapters.
There is no presence of Image Stabilisation in Sony A7R.
Hence presence of Image Stabilization in Sony A7R II makes it superior to Sony A7R because it compensates in real time for shaking and vibrating while recording the subjects.
AF System: –
Sony a7RII uses Fast Hybrid AF with 399 Phase-Detect Points with 45% coverage along with 25 contrast-detect AF points, due to this it became the world’s first full frame mirrorless camera with highest AF points. The Hybrid AF sensor and Bionz X image processor increases the speed, accuracy and tracking performance of the system. It offers faster readout which is due to the presence of the back-illuminated sensor structure and it also allows for tracking while shooting at the top continuous shooting rate of 5 fps. It also allows Lock-on AF tracking that release more information from the scene which helps in the improvement of accurate and stable imaginary.
But Sony A7R uses new Fast Intelligent AF system which has only 25 contrasts-detect AF points which is optimized for the full-frame sensor including flexible spot focus areas in addition to multipoint, center-weighted, and zone focusing.
Due to the presence of advanced AF System and more AF points in Sony A7RII, it make it totally different and superior to its predecessor.
ISO Range:-
The Sony A7R II has more ISO Range of 50-102400 due to the presence of BSI technology, which helps it to capture the object in dim light, provide high level of low-noise performance and dynamic range, which makes it superior to its predecessor Sony A7R and hence due to low ISO range Sony A7R provides low image quality.
Video:-
The a7RII is the first full-frame camera to offer internal UHD 4K video recording at 30 or 24 fps, Sony A7R was limited to 4K recording only.
Additionally, the A7R II camera can record videos by using 399 Phase AF points, its a great advantage that a you can use fast Phase detect AF instead of slow and sluggish contrast detect AF.
Other difference – The other major difference we have spotted is price, the Sony A7R available at $1,898.00 and the Sony A7R II camera available at $3,198.00.
Verdict: The Sony A7R II specification is far better than its predecessor, you get high sensitivity CMOS sensor with 399 Hybrid Phase AF points and a option to record 4K videos.
