awesome tests, thanks! we need to find someone to loan you a few rangefinder wides.
I should ping my Sony contact, though due to other commitments, it wouldn't happen for at least another week or two.
I suspect if sensor topping specs are similar for the 'S' relative to the other a7 cameras, edge color shift may be better but I doubt there will be significant difference in edge smearing. I believe edge color shift is influenced by pixel density whereas smearing is very dependent on sensor topping thickness. Both are influenced by lens exit pupil distance.
As for the 1DX... yeah, Sony's sensors sure are some of the best at the moment. Too bad they don't make a camera that can rival the 1DX (or D4) in other categories, along with the full stable of lenses. Then they'd seriously have my attention. But I guess the pro action camera segment is a niche they may ignore, and is a niche that may be further eroded by other technologies soon.
As with the discussion in Seb's other thread, everyone has different needs and priorities. For some it's the sensor, others it will be the sensor balanced with AF, UI, build quality, feel. Having shot a couple hundred thousand images with the 1DX, there's only a handful of times I've pushed the shadows that hard. So for me at least, I can't say I've felt cheated by Canon. But then, the kind of work I'm doing with it doesn't often call for that capability.
In the normalized images (1DX at 12MP), I can't say I see much of a difference other than the Sony having perhaps a bit wider dynamic range. A point Seb made and I think is important is if the light is crappy quality, even at high ISO, the light is going to look crappy. There's no substitute for good, broad spectrum light.
