lumisance noise is the same. chroma noise is stronger with acr....because capture one apparently uses some Chroma noise reduction in the background.You can tell by looking at the colours of the capture one conversion, they are slightly more muted compared to acr. I bet, if you increase choma NR on ACR both converters will look the same.
In any event, noise performance of a camera can of course slightly vary with the raw converter you use. But even if ( idont believe that this is the case) the Sony was to work better with other raw converters than ACR, this would be very unfortunate because ACR is one of the most widely used converters. Proffesionals love Lightroom not only for its own fuctions but for its integration with photoshop. A camera maker willing to sell to serious photographers should keep this in mind and not design a sensor giving inferior results on the most widly used converter. Again, lookin at your samples I am convinced that by tweaking NR, both capture one and ACR converters are actually capable of the same end result with the sony. the difference is merely how much NR is applied under the hood.
