Dpreview published high ISO samples of Sony A1 camera recently. But I am really surprised to see the low-light comparison of Canon EOS R5 camera samples with the Sony A1. The noise level in Jpeg and RAW mode is almost the same.
Which one has a better sensor? Canon EOS R5 or Sony A1?
Technically Sony A1 carries a better sensor than of Canon EOS R5 camera. Since, the A1 features a back-illuminated sensor, also known as backside illumination (BSI or BI) and Canon ESO R5 uses FSI (front side illuminated).
- Canon EOS R5 – 45MP Full-Frame CMOS Sensor
- Sony A1 – 50MP Full-Frame Exmor RS BSI CMOS Sensor
Now, it’s time to see the image comparison of both the camera at a 100% scale
Sony A1 vs Canon EOS R5 @ ISO 12800 (RAW)
You can clearly see the color noise level of both the camera at ISO 12800. Canon EOS R5 conventional CMOS Sensor color noise is very well controlled.
Sony A1 vs Canon EOS R5 @ ISO 12800 (Jpeg)
Even in Jpeg files, you can clearly see how well Canon is restoring the overall image.
It’s really hard to believe we are comparing a conventional CMOS sensor with a BSI CMOS sensor. Do share your thoughts with us.
