cute!
I had a chance to play with my a7 all afternoon. I'm not in love with the ergonomics. I'd prefer if the top plate was sloped forward a bit. as it is, I am flexing my index finger a bit unnaturally so I can use the C1, front dial and shutter button. hopefully I get used to it.

+1.
Just wondering if it is worth opening a new sub-forum under Digital Rangefinders for Full Frame Mirrorless and move some of these posts there. They provide some good early samples and info about the camera.

Thank you for the kind comments
Here's the manual: https://docs.sony.com/release/ILCE-7_7R_guide_EN.pdf
P.s. Setting Display Quality to "High" gives a more OVF like experience in the EVF (less jagged edge effects / moire). It does use more battery power though, and some might like the jagged effect to confirm focus.

Yes, it those, Norway has 25% MoreValueTax (as they call it) 
So 75USD extra, but it is still much cheaper than Norwegian stores. I will only get the grip for that price here...

Hi Nordentro,
what about your Takumars ? How do they perform with the Sony?
I am thinking of buying this camera just to give mine a new life.

Takumars are very nice. It will be a good match. I have only tested the 50mm f/1.4, but I can post pictures of others if you want

Pfff... I would get some chinese NP-FW50 batteries (~7€ each), an chinese charger (~10€), original LCD screen protector (~20€) and some other cleaning tools (20€) instead of this expensive package.

Interesting!
The D800 is among the best DR. Not sure what value tester set it to
In my experience, one single shot can be as good as HDR with 2 or 3 frames.
DR value in D800 also produce non natural dark/light, so I used to have it at average or a bit above average.
The results from A7r are very good.
Size and weight matter, but the reason to keep d800 is AF and long tele. |
