Sony Alpha DSLR-A200 versus Canon EOS 400D / XTi outdoor scene
 |
|
To compare real-life performance we shot the
same scene with the Sony Alpha DSLR A200 and the Canon EOS 400D / XTi within
a few moments of each other using their Auto modes, best quality JPEG and lowest ISO settings.
Both models were fitted with their respective kit lenses set to f8 and adjusted to deliver the same field of view.
The image left was taken with the Sony Alpha DSLR A200 at 22mm f8 and with a sensitivity of 100 ISO; the original JPEG measured 4.34 MB. The crops are taken from the upper left, center, lower right and lower left portions of the originals and presented here at 100%. The A200's DRO was set to the default Standard. |
Apart from a difference in colour balance, the two DSLRs delivered remarkably similar results here when equipped with their kit lenses and default settings. There's arguably a little more foliage detail on the Sony crops, but it's certainly a very close-run thing and we'd be satisfied saying that in this particular test, both cameras essentially delivered the same amount of real-life detail.
