I placed my preorder at my pro retailer. 🙂
He always gets units long before the official shipment.
So I guess I’ll be one of the early birds, hehe.
no, you’ll not.
WHAT
Early birds always get the worms!
where can I see sample pics in original size? What about silent shutter … example videos?
No video demonstrations of this ‘silent shutter’? What about the drawbacks, limitations & penalties with using this Silent shutter mode? That’s what Sony is not telling you.
I would like to be proven wrong. However there seems to be a lack of transparency from Sony marketing & press

I agree to your complain, that Sony is missing transparency and that they should inform about the limitations of using their implemented silent shutter mode.
Don’t understand following as insulting you – I am no native english tongue and maybe I am not chosing perfect grammar…
Your comment uses phrases like “drawbacks” and “penalties”. This is commonly understood negatively. It implies that the function is somehow defect, but it is not.
Therefore I agree to your term “limitation”. Silent shutter is limited in certain use cases by its natural functionality. Of what I know it is related to the read out time which can cause rolling shutter effect or blur with fast moving subjects, and also fluorescing light can cause difficulties. But this is also depending on the overall system Sony will implement.
Sony will likely have the problem that they announce the silent shutter mode as special feature, and limiting would probably decrease the excitement for the A7S.
Again I would love transparency on that feature like you do, but we will likely have to check it out by ourselves or other reviewers.
Luckily we have in Germany for non-custom-made products a “on-sale-or-return” right which gives the possibility to return within 14 days from purchase if unsatisfactory.
If you buy it from Sony directly you have 30 day return but 14 days are plenty check the “limitations”.
The whole FE mount series of cameras are a compromise on everything because of the size so there is nothing negative about them at all. 🙂
I will look at dealsrunner for amazon blitz angebote. I am prepared to wait for it. 🙂
That is voting with my wallet. 😉
