Re: Pre-orders open! Sony A7R III and FE 24-105mm f/4 OSS lens!
As a landscape photographer, to me the camera is primarily a box housing the best sensor I can get, and in that regard I have to agree the IQ of the A7r mkI has not been improved upon by much. With 2-3 stitched shots from a 24mm ts-e II that camera produces about the same quality images I used to get from 4x5 film.
I bought some very sharp glass recently in anticipation of a new Sony sensor (ideally about 60MP+) that would allow me to get comparable results to my LF film without stitching (and without buying an expensive MF system) partly so I can explore more dynamic images (moving water etc.) again. I find the new A7rIII therefore a big disappointment because the one thing I was looking forward to is missing.
It seems odd that despite all the talk in recent years took it as a given that the A7rIII would have a higher MP sensor, not many are saying much about the elephant in the A7rIII room.
