This test is a real-world task relevant to Adobe Photoshop: batch convert raw files to JPEG. Disk I/O is not a significant factor for any of these machines.

Results: Raw file conversion to JPEG —

Sony uncompressed raw files are slightly faster to deal with because no decompression is needed although Sony’s compressed format is very fast to decompress.

See the diglloyd in-depth review of the Sony A7R IV in diglloyd Mirrorless.
