New night time video king

[Franco Darioli]

How about a camera that can capture at 409.600 ISO in colour ?
This is the Sony Alpha 7s .
Here is a clip showing the camera going from 1600 ISO to 409,600 ISO :

Wow if it can really perform at that level with no noise to speak of, that's really impressive.

[Franco Darioli]

Having had, last century, to push process B&W film to get to 800ASA (same as ISO) , it is a bit hard for me to grasp 409,600 ISO

[Sharon J.]

WANT.

I've taken a few owl and coyote shots on evening hikes, where you can't really distinguish between the two because they're just gray, fuzzy blobs. No more.

Do I understand correctly that this camera can't record onto a SD card? That doesn't seem like a good marketing idea at all.

according to DPreview

Storage types SD/SDHC/SDXC, Memory Stick Duo/Pro Duo/Pro-HG Duo

Starts at 4:00

Edit: Ok I'm probably just confused. At 11:00 he says something which leads me to believe that this only affects 4k so maybe 1080 is fine on the SD? Dunno. Eclipse is done and this old man is going to bed.

[Franco Darioli]

Yes, to get 4k (3840x 2160) you need an external recorder.
Full HD (1080p) can be captured in camera on an SD card.

[Ian]

Thanks for the clarification.
