If I remember correctly, the camera takes 10’s of pictures in a few seconds and uses an algorithm to combine them to remove noise.

There are some software solutions but also in camera ISO 40,000 is crazy good. This thread about the Sony A1 out of the camera jpeg shows this https://forums.macresource.com/read.php?...sg-2598102

And a 400/2.8 gives you a different look that you can't get with smaller aperture lenses.

MILC is changing the game is what you see in the viewfinder. A 2.8 optic in a low light situation means you can see more of what is going on (brightness) compared to a 4 or 5.6 because those lenses were showing less light in the viewfinder. There was less light physically entering your eye. MILC can take a 4 or 5.6 lens and brighten the electronic viewfinder to allow you to frame things in low light at optimal brightness to what the eye percieves.
Not what I was talking about. I meant the shallow depth of field you get with large aperture lenses. A football game shot with a 400/2.8 just looks different.

Yeah, there is something beautiful about a 400mm 2.8 or 600mm f/4 that stirs the photographic soul.
