Mavic 4 Pro drone outresolves Sony A7RV!




Outresolve? What is your understanding of that term?




In the digital age, it refers to how many alternating black/white lines can be resolved by the sensor + lens combo on a test chart.

If you read the article you would see that he measured the resolution using a test target.



It's a tiny little sensor


A 4/3 sensor is not "tiny". It's a bit smaller than the sensors in APS-C cameras, larger than the sensors in 1" compacts like the RX-100s, and far larger than phone camera sensors.



with a Quad Bayer arrangement.
I think the most significant reason for the popularity of Quad Bayer sensors is fooling ignorant buyers.



I prefer a non Quad Bayer arrangement, but quad bayer sensors are still capable of resolving far more than sensors with 1/4 the resolution.


Their main advantage, being able to take 2 photos at the same time, each with different exposure, is rarely taken advantage of.


I believe this is used in video mode on the Mavic 4 Pro to increase DR.



But who cares? It's a 100mp right? It says it right there on the box!



It is 100MP, and according to the tests done in the review it resolves more than the 61MP sensor in the A7RV. That's a very good thing.

No one is claiming the Mavic 4 Pro provider better overall IQ than the A7RV. But it's nice that an affordable drone camera can now provide extremely high resolution images. This is a great thing for all photographers!
