If you thought the Sony A7S was sensitive, take a look at this video shot on the Canon ME20F-SH

No, I haven't bought one :)
2.2 Megapixels is quite a limitation for astrophotography but the reduced pixel count is definitely how they push the signal-to-noise ratio to incredible levels so it's great for night time video.  I suspect this video was shot at F1.4 - i.e. the fastest setting on the Sigma Art lens.

By the way, the professional looking video production makes astronomy look like great fun!
