Just saying…
the lenses are there on Amazon.fr:

In some of the street shots e.g. this one
http://www.imaging-resource.com/camera-reviews/sony/a7/YDSC00139.HTM
the A7 looks kind of oversharpened compared to the same shot with the A7r.
All shots suffer of course due to the bleak light 🙂
Looks fine on my monitor,no artifacts and crystal clear.
I still miss direct high ISO test/compare of A7 vs Canon 5DM3 and A7 vs NEX-7. Real world samples are very subjective thing.
High ISO for what purpose?
It was reported, that in low light either camera have hunting AF. In low light it is impossible to get in focus sharpness of image anyway.
I don’t think low-light focusing will be worse than on my NEX-6 (works fine for me). BTW high ISO doesn’t mean shooting in darkness. Day time sport/running kids photography also requires low noise high ISOs.
That’s only true if the lens your using lacks the ability to manually focus
Nice low light pics and in focus with no report of hunting:http://www.stevehuffphoto.com/2013/10/28/honky-tonkin-with-the-sony-a7-and-a7r-in-nashville/
But they are real world, and who takes real world pics…
They look decent, resized for viewing purposes.
Anyway, that shot of the man with top hat at ISO 4000 looks a bit noisier than I’d expected.
Totally agree!!
What’s the point of having a higher resolution sensors?
To get more detail/quality. People who want better quality files are right to check the fidelity before parting with hard earned money.
I’m sick of defensive, slap dash “that’l do” people trying to turn ‘pixel peeper’ into some kind of negative dirty word where if you are a pixel peeper you must be ‘abnormal’.
‘Normal’ is frankly overrated, who wants to be limited to mediocre…
OMG… you’re a pixel peeper? gross!
I think there is an smartphone app that will show you on Google maps where all the pixel peepers live. You might be shocked to see how many there are in and around your neighborhood. 😉
Is capture one the best way to view the files?
Was my reaction as well. Then I scaled A7 and A7R IR images down to the same size and saw clear difference. Amazing difference. Both shots done with the same lens from the same spot, well, maybe the focusing was a bit different. Similar experience as with A99/D800 pair long time ago.
care to explain your findings?
And what are your results? Which of those is “amazing” better (IQ) in difference to the other.
I’m certain A7R sample will be much better when downsized to 24MP.
^Ibid. Basically, any of the above will be better. Particularly, those with brick walls and mushy greens are the most obvious examples. Better interpolation with downsizing and lack of AA filter help a lot, I think.
No kidding. The smallest prints I make are 16×20(of course I print other sizes as well). Why would I need a 24-36MP camera to make 8×10’s? Pixel peepers? I am a professional photographer an I expect PERFECTION in the gear I buy. Not Well its almost good. I don’t think anyone has said the camera isn’t sharp. I think people have said these are bad samples. We want to see ACTUALLY GOOD samples. I have seen exactly ONE good image and it was in low res from sony.
The first class of college we had to take 2 shots of the exact same thing at 1/500th of a second. one hand held one tripod. GUESS WHAT. Tripod was sharper with a 50mm lens at f8. The fastest sample above is 1/125th. IT CAN”t BE SHARP because the photographer is hand holding it. Does that make it bad? NOO. (well they aren’t very good) But it doesn’t help say what the max quality of the camera is.
These are wonderful. Thank you for sharing them with us. Do you know which zoom they used in the a7r images?
Many of the best photographs ever taken are soft, fuzzy and out of focus by “pixel peeper” standards.
Nothing wrong with a bit of peeping per se, but personally I worry it makes people concentrate on the wrong thing.
Well soft because of curcunstance doesn’t mean I want a camera that can’t be sharp. Many of those soft image are Leica camera that by the same photographer made exceptionally sharp image. If my image isn’t sharp because its the best it can be that fine. If its not sharp because my camera CAN’T DO IT then that’s a problem. An yes I do what the same sharpness or close to as my Leaf back with Rodenstock glass.
No surprise here; images look great.
Is this an acceptable amount of lat. CA for a lens of this calibre/cost? It is not pervasive but it is there if you look for it.
I suppose I am spoiled by my €125 (used) Nikon 28-105D – absolutely zero! [Unfortunately, no so with the new 18-35.]
These images are from pre-production cameras?
The samples look fine, the A7r particulary. Tons of detail.
Andrea, thanks for all your work and effort you put in this page. It gives us so much information and help. I’ve just placed my order via your link for the Sony Store! Thanks again and get a cold beer from the commission 🙂
