Low light & noise

6.0 µm pixels

24.2 MP on a full frame sensor, ISO up to 51,200

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

  • 690 shots — longer battery life than 89% of the full frame mirrorless cameras we list
  • 20 fps — faster bursts than 64% of the full frame mirrorless cameras we list
  • 678 g — lighter than 51% of the full frame mirrorless cameras we list
