Particularly impressive are the stepwise revealing of the components in teardown, the open design permitting clear inspection and the amount of metal supporting the mount and sensor. And of course the potential to replace sensor glass as a stand alone repair.

The intelligent and integrated design together with the well-buttressed mount hold out the promise a decent service life, and the reduced number of parts, standardisation of assembly fasteners and general accessibility should contribute to extending the life of the product by reducing repair costs.

A7 takes a bath to get clean after some hard work:

Try the color profiles from this page:

Sony ILCE-7 | Sony ILCE-7R

I found that the "Faithful" color profile works well for my images so far.


Please excuse me for being a nub, but after I've downloaded the profiles and unzipped them into my

Windows:
"C:\Users\yourusername\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\CameraRaw\CameraProfiles"

MAC OS:
"HD/users/yourusername/LibraryApplicationSupport/Adobe/CameraRaw/CameraProfile"


folder, what next? Am I done or is there a setting in LR/ACR/PhotoshopCS/CC that I need to change/tweak in order to start using these profiles?


*also, should I unzip the ILCE-7(r) folder into the CameraRaw folder or just the *.dcp files into the CameraRaw folder?


Thanks in advance!

Maybe all the money went to airconditioning instead of cameras. Such heat lately.

Think I would be freaking out about the time that screen with the explanation mark kept popping up randomly. Do you know what that screen reads? I have to wonder how much longer that camera will continue to work. I suppose if it doesn't short out, it would be fine once any water dries out.

Saw this a few days back of the A7r and Pentax K3 tested in snow at -16c for 5 days! Clearly, the A7's are not intended to endure that. The A7r shut down but came back to life once warmed up. The K3 never missed a beat, but it is a camera really designed to be "weather proof". I suspect the "9" series (A9?) will be the camera designed to be really "weather proof".

If anyone is looking to save a few dollars on an A7 or A7R, there are a ton of used ones listed on the B&H web site this morning (a dozen, at last count):

http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/search?Ntt=sony+a7&N=0&InitialSearch=yes&sts=ma&usedSearch=1&Top+Nav-Search=


Probably of more interest to US customers, though - the prices are just about the same as a new one sells for in Canada.

That's a surprising number of used A7's to be such a new model...and in such a niche market. Lot's of used ones on Amazon as well.

I usually check the B&H site every morning, and there are always at least 3 or 4 of them (mostly A7's) listed - today was a big jump.

Maybe I will hold off from buying a new one - at this rate the price of an A7R should be down to a more sensible $1200-$1500 before too long.

I dont' know, that would be a really great price for the A7r. My suspicion is that we are seeing folks who just jumped on buying one of these - either pre-order or right when they were first available - not really knowing fully what they were getting. Seems to happen a lot with new camera introductions these days. I suspect the used inventory might actually drop once these are out of the system.

Anything bought before X-mas at Amazon has to be returned by the 31st (today) so I would expect to start seeing an influx of used bodies and lenses at Amazon.

Philip, do you work for Sony or a Sony partner?

Hope - I noticed you asked a few times but I really don't think Philip will answer your question.... Perhaps send him a pm and you may have better success with getting a reply.

Tariq, who knows re the waterproofing effects, I never use electronic cameras in rain of any kind more than a light mist, but since the matter was raised, some might like to see.

Brian Smith (who got early release a7/r gear) is compiling an e-book on the cameras. He has a decent article on adapters here:

http://briansmith.com/sony-a7-a7r-lens-mount-adapters/

Hope, I'll send you a PM, probably best that way.

Also beeing a nub, I have tried this myself, either loading the full Sony ILCE-7R folder or the individual *.dcp files into my CameraProfiles folder (HD/users/yourusername/LibraryApplicationSupport/Adobe/CameraRaw/CameraProfiles) but nothing seems to happen when opening Lightroom. Are the added profiles supposed to appear along the other camera calibration profiles?

Anyone?
