It’ll be interesting to see what the well depth turns out to be, given they’ve equipped it with a 16-bit ADC.
Only problem I see with the Sony body for astro is (a) OSC and (b) status of star eater/spatial filtering. Personally, I’d rather have the raw data warts and all... |
I agree with you. Not sure what you mean by well depth and the 16bit ADC. Well depth on a BSI sensor is much larger because the 40% of surface area that a typical CMOS sensor loses to the surrounding circuitry is gained for the sensor.
I thought 16bit ADC were not uncommon. I am pretty sure Fuji X cameras have had 16bit down to 14 bit output for some time.
Well depth on the A7rii and A7riii which are similar sensors is quite high despite smallish pixels.
Its more the filtering that may be an issue. I can see the typical Sony wormy type noise reduction in a few sample images so don't expect much change there.
