Cant help thinking that the A7 with those offset microlenses would have been something. Given what we\'ve seen. The increased pixeldensity in A7r wont help, rather equalize or ruin the potential advantage.

Remember, only the a7R has the offset microlenses, the a7 does not. This still leaves hope that Sony was paying atttention to the color shift issuese with the NEX-7. I still think we won\'t know until we are able to see tests like Ron Scheffler\'s performed with an a7R.
PDAF and offset microlenses seems to be mutually exclusive with the current technology. It could be that the effect of smaller pixels is more detrimental to PDAF than to incident angle sensitivity in general.
It is a good thing that Sony is serious about both issues and provides two different sensor versions at this time. From an alt lens user perspective, the ideal option would be a version with offset microlenses and 24 or evel less MP. This could make it difficult to release the PDAF version as the high MP version if the PDAF would suffer more.
The A7r is more than I ever hoped for, even with limited lens compatibility. The weather sealing was a huge bonus over the expectations, as were the 36 MP sensor right away. I hope the reality is that my friends who want less MP won\'t suffer as much from the high pixel count as we fear.
