....Rational me says: More MP means nothing to me...I\'ve been shooting with 16MP sensors for 4 years and have never really wanted for more resolution. DR is also a minimal increase. I\'ve pulled absolutely insane shadows and highlights out of my Fuji files, to a point where I almost never shoot HDR any more because the pulled and pushed single file ends up looking better than a 5 stop bracketed HDR. I feel no real need for an extra stop of DR. Tonality...Fuji\'s tonality is pretty darn good. Is the A7 better? Yeah, probably a little, but not THAT much. Well-behaved Bayer? You have a point, though with C1, I almost never have an issue with X-Trans, even with foliage heavy scenes. I\'m sure the 55/1.8 is sharper at the edges than the 35/1.4. But again, $1400 sharper? That\'s the kicker. Do I WANT the A7 with 55/1.8? Yes...yes I do. Does it make SENSE for me to spend the money on it?
Shut up brain, you\'re dumb.
This has nothing to do with being rational, nor should it, in my view. My wife\'s Mini Cooper S probably wasn\'t a very rational purchase decision, but its the must fun I\'ve had behind the wheel since high school.
I don\'t crave the A7 for better resolution or more MP - my X-E1 and OM-D does fine in that department for my uses.
I want the A7 for 2 reasons:
1. That FF look. I don\'t care how you define it, but you can\'t deny it.
2. To play with a bunch of old manual lenses on a FF sensor.
Much as I try I can\'t get this look out of my X-E1 or my OM-D.....there is something about a bigger sensor.....
6D with ZE 35 f/2....
