Low light & noise

4.5 µm pixels

42.4 MP on a full frame sensor, ISO up to 32,000

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

  • 650 shots — longer battery life than 82% of the full frame mirrorless cameras we list
  • 42.4 MP — more resolution than 74% of the full frame mirrorless cameras we list
  • 657 g — lighter than 68% of the full frame mirrorless cameras we list
