The fact that this Sony camera is compressing all the RAW files to 37MB when we know the D800E can produce 60MB + files is enough to keep me from jumping in to this system for the time being.
I haven\'t investigated this but Sony might be using lossless compression, or near lossless by using some kind of clever algorithms. Either way, it doesn\'t seem to have made a negative impact to the actual images. And geez, wasn\'t one of the big arguments against the D800 \'Oh the raw files are too big!\' Is anyone really going to be distraught that Sony seems to have figured out a practical solution to make raw files smaller To me, this looks like another nice benefit over the D800.
The fact that the A7r is showing a lot of problem with vibrations at slower shutter speeds is my other main issue with this new camera.
It is? Where have you seen these many problems?
This camera is only useful for shooting low ISO, tripod mounted landscapes where you actually get more DR than a typical 5D3 sensor and would be nice as a travel, hiking, more portable camera with smaller prime lenses.
Except that it\'s also useful shooting handheld high ISO files.
However, if you can\'t get a sharp shot even on a tripod because your low ISO that you need for good DR is causing a low SS that in turn causes vibration and ruins the sharpness then this camera is next to useless in my shooting.
Really? You don\'t think you canget a sharp shot from an A7r Maybe we\'ve been looking at different images, but I\'ve seen quite a few of those....
