Re: Official: Sony A7 and A7r Fullframe Mirrorless
Ok, don\'t kill me for this observation, and Nikon shooters, feel free to set me straight on this, but it relates to the A7/A7R because it\'s presumably a similar sensor to the one in the Nikon D800.
I was perusing the thread for the insanely priced Nikon 58mm f/1.4G (Which, given that it\'s really not super sharp wide open, baffles me at the price), and there was a link to some sample photos. So I go in there.... http://www.flickr.com/photos/nikonfrance/10324649785/in/photostream/
And I look at the full size images. And, I don\'t know if it\'s a bad JPEG engine, or Nikon France (who made the images) severely underexposed many of them and brought them up in post, or what...but they look REALLY noisy to me. The D4 at ISO 800 looks about like what my X-E1 looks like at ISO 3200 (or maybe even 6400). The D800E shots at ISO 400 look to have a fair amount of blotchy noise as well. Is this what the sensors really are capable of? I have to imagine it\'s due to a poor JPEG engine, but I want to check since I\'m somewhat in the market for these A7s (at least sometime in the next few months), but if the actual results are no better than what I\'m seeing there, I\'ll have to reconsider.
