So you\'re saying that tethered image transfer is likely to take 4 seconds on the A7r 2, since the A7r 1 takes 3 seconds? 4 seconds per shot is pretty unacceptable.
Transfer using USB3 and USB2 on the D800 with Capture One is pretty much the same, just under 3 seconds (from memory). Transfer using Firewire 800 on our Leaf 40 megapixel back was 3-4 seconds. What you are saying is \'pretty unacceptable\' is in fact what the industry has long been used to when working with these kinds of resolutions. I can\'t see many studio\'s or pro\'s shooting tethered who would flunk a camera because it, at a tiny fraction of the price, is tethering at the same speeds as the digital backs which until now had been the only way to achieve that level of resolution.
Talking of which, anyone interested in a Leaf Aptus II-8 back (Mamiya mount)? We were selling it anyway. All things considered this new Sony is not the camera for us to upgrade our D800e\'s to. Not enough of a resolution increase and the lossy compression is potentially a problem for our usage. No rush, those Nikons are hard core workhorses.
