Thanks and yes please do post the color corrected versions.

Normalized version. Just lift gamma gain. nothing too fancy. Its better to compare their base capabilities so you see its true potential. I knew a7sii was going to win this one.

What lenses did you use ? The GH5 lens seems extremely flare prone and low contrast. ( i.e. it seems to be more of a lens test than a camera test )

The problem, as I see it, is that a bright street light just blows the highlights out to the smithereens at a higher ISO. A better test would be to shoot the model from the angle perpendicular to the above and keep the light out of the frame.

PS. This is one of the reasons why automobile camera sensors usually go for the high dynamic range first and everything else second. When one is driving at night, the contrast between the car headlights and the absolute darkness is about 20 stops.

Lenses?

Lenses?

So each camera was able to form an image without a lens ?

It looked in through a pinhole.

I am totally amazed that this GH5 "pin-hole" lens shows a light blue lens-flare at the 1:00 mark.

Huh? Think I missed the joke

don't know why you shoot log for these tests - log is not made for high. In any case, i have both camera's and in non-log footage a7sii wins by a landslide(but the gh5 does very well)
