It's pretty easy to see what DPR values...mirrorless, fast focusing, video, smaller size.
They gave the A7III an 89%. And it is comparable in price to the K1. And it's certainly better in the above areas. But using the comparison tool, the image quality is distinctly worse. Not the minor pixel-peeping we've been doing between the K-1 Mk1&2 and D850. But a lot worse. The A7II looks to me closer in quality to the KP, a camera 1/2 it's price. Same thing is true if you throw the D750, a camera much closer in price to the K-1. The K-1 image quality is a lot better.
If one says that the Accelerator issue causes a loss of 5% of image quality detail(and I don't think it's that high), by that standard, I'd say the the A7III and the D750 are 20-25% worse.

Yes, I'd agree. I think when looking really closely at a few areas in this test chart, I can see a few VERY small places where there is detail loss.
That said it requires extreme pixel peeping on a test chart. On a real world photo, such as the example Rondec posted above, I might well prefer a photo that has less noise, even if there are some tiny details that aren't as good. Even in the case of printing pretty large, like say 24x16.
And yes, it's possible with a bunch of post processing, one could do the same job at getting rid of a lot of noise, and maybe not lose the detail. But I don't put myself in the Lightroom/PS wizard category. It would probably take me hours to get there. I'd rather have the camera do it essentially instantly, even if it is only 99.99% as good from a detail perspective.
