Yeah, in camera department even amongst DSLR, Sony is still the best in mirrorless and video record quality, which even surpass Canon itself!

Food for thought.

This is only half of the story. The camera, beside producing pictures, also act as VIDEO recording.

Sony use no optical stabilization (OIS). Currently the 5-axis stabilization by them would produce the best video output. Avoiding optical stabilization also comes with some advantages, as utilizing OIS only results in videos that have a noticeably wobbly effect around their edges. You have to give Sony the thumbs up for the video department, whereby this had no competitor come close to Sony.

As a tradeoff, no OIS sensor would need lots of post processing in the still image. First it capture the image with its whooping f/2.0 19mp 1/2.3" sensor then start the image optimization, and by EIS & downsampling & adding dynamic lightning, etc etc. Every layer of post processing will takes a beat to the image quality.

I believe Sony had already had in mind what should be focus more and no doubt the video recording is what they focus more on. on the other hand they will still tryhard to make the image to be as close to the other competitor as possible. It still takes good photos to an average person for their mobile photo usage (fb, instagram, etc) whereby not much difference if it is taken that into consideration.
