Low light & noise

5.9 µm pixels

24.6 MP on a full frame sensor, ISO up to 100,000

Bigger pixels gather more light each, so they tend to show less noise at high ISO, but sensor design matters as much. For real noise at ISO 6400, these sites measure it:

How it stacks up

  • 25 fps — faster bursts than 68% of the full frame mirrorless cameras we list
  • 510 shots — longer battery life than 64% of the full frame mirrorless cameras we list
  • 5.76M dots — a sharper viewfinder than 61% of the full frame mirrorless cameras we list
  • 24.6 MP — more resolution than 52% of the full frame mirrorless cameras we list
