I\'m still not sure, something doesn\'t seem right about some of those \"test shots\". I\'m still reserving my judgement on the NEX 7.
I know the person who posted those NEX-7 test images and have briefly handled the NEX-7 he used for the tests. It\'s a preproduction model and in use you can tell it\'s not working quite right. Whether that had any impact on on the images he posted, I\'m not sure as I was unable to do any of my own tests with it. I suspect some of the troubles could be adapter issues and those images were all done on a cheaper adapter, rather than a Novoflex or Voigtlander, though I\'m not sure how much of a difference that makes, if any.
Thanks Ron (an ex-Hamiltonian, born on the \"mountain\", waves back) - your comment may or may not explain those files of Rob\'s but at least you help keep the faint hope fire burning for the NEX-7. The NEX-5N being so good with alt glass it\'d be a huge shame if the 7 took ten steps backwards.
A bad adapter not aligned correctly or one that doesn\'t stop at infinity (doubtful Rob\'s photos were shot at infinity but maybe the wides were) could explain much. Guess we\'ll all find out soon from users with production cameras
Honestly though I love my 5N with EVF. Only thing I don\'t like is not being able to use a flash and the EVF at the same time. I mostly use my Canon 550d and 430EX when I need to use flash, but I\'d like to have more flash options (esp while using the EVF) with the NEX. Using flash or radio slaves with flash and having an EVF is exactly what appeals to me about the 7, among a few other things.
Ditto!
On paper it is hard not to like the NEX-7 as a do-all camera when what it can\'t do doesn\'t matter.
