Robert: “My name is Bob and I work at a photographic store in New York city. Everyday customers come into the store to try out cameras and most of the time they end up taking photos of me. I’ve started to assemble a collection of those photos and post them online. Recently a prototype of the Hasselblad H5D-50C was brought in for the medium format department to preview. A photo from that camera is the newest addition to my collection.

Graham: <“em>Like you, I’m a photographer and use Sony cameras. In fact, I bought the Sony A7R shortly after it was released, and just yesterday I finished a Sony A7R Review with Canon EF Lenses: http://www.A7Review.com YouTube video review: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SMOHrtFp2ko”

Massimo: “new impressions of the A7R with the 17TS: http://www.thevisualexperience.org/web/sony-a7r-canon-17-ts-e-iridient-developer/”

Alexandre: “Hello Andrea, My review of the Sony A7r / Zeiss 55mmF1.8 has already more then 13 000 views on Youtube. You can share it if you like. I included 12 photos samples (with Exif Data) and 5 video samples. I made as well a test of the famous shutter sound in 7 different environment with different levels of noise.

Bruce: “Thank you, Andrea! BTW, I’ve been shooting Sony exclusively since dumping Canon gear almost two years ago. Here’s a video I shot with a NEX-7/Leica 90 f2 as well as an a99 with the Zeiss 135mm f1.8: https://vimeo.com/74488196“

  1. Panoramas on sony cameras are not full resolution.
    The files are much smaller than those created by stitching in programs like photoshop.
    A really usefull feature to add to future sony cameras wouldbe full resolution panoramas
    For example..a 36mp Sony camera could produce a panorama of 100-200mp.
    Such a feature would not require a new sensor but would rely on processing and firmware

    1. As with any expert critique, an explanation of these negative points rather than just stating it was shit would be useful. With your superior artistic talents and knowledge, could you please inform us less gifted individuals what it was you disliked so much about it? I’m definitely no video shooting expert however I was quite impressed by this short video.

      1. I just wrote a whole reply going into the details explaining why this video is ‘shit’ as you said. But then it errored and lost it and i can’t be bothered writing it again now. Maybe later.

        1. Apart from my sarcasm which is mainly aimed at people who hide behind anonymity I am genuinely interested. I’m not sure how derogatory your remark was meant be with my photography, however I don’t claim to be an expert, I don’t hide behind a proxy name and clearly know I still have massive volumes to learn in an area that I do mostly for fun. Hence I would never say someone else’s work is shit…OK I said that 😉 However video is something I know absolutely nothing about, what I do know is that it is significantly more difficult an area in which to get good results and am easily impressed.

          In a completely sincere way, I would really be keen to see some of your work. If you don’t want to show it on an open forum, is there any chance to email me your website details or some work you have done? I would genuinely appreciate it.

          cheers

          Gavin

      2. I’ve been a film editor for 12 years so you attempt at sarcasm fell flat on its face. I do have superior talent and knowledge. Based on your wedding photos I can see why you were impressed by this, I can’t imagine the movies in you collection.

  2. I must admit I have also thought about the possibility that DXO does not test every single lens on every single camera. Though I imagine once you have done a super detailed test of a specific lens and the same with the various cameras the lens fits on, that designing a computer model to establish the result of lens A combined with camera B would be both straightforward and pretty accurate. Though the variations noted in some tests would certainly suggest the possibility that perhaps different versions of a lens have been used and it is the { well known and accepted } small variations between lens samples that could be responsible for the often minor differences.

    Obviously with the small sample variations between lenses , testing one sample will not be conclusive .The only site testing multiple copies of lenses seems to be lensrentals and they have issues with their testing methodology that are a tad questionable . The obvious solution is to buy 10 of every lens and return the 9 that don’t measure up lol, now where do I get £100,000 to test ten 500mm F4’s { who am i kidding where do i get £10000 to buy one lol}
