I really like the design improvements, the only thing that I don't like is the new 'texture'. I really liked the smooth black of the A7's, it is sophisticated and simple.

 

To me the added texture makes it look cheaper, more conventional, I hope I'm wrong and can't wait to have it in hands to see it in person.

I am really looking forward to see this camera, even more so an a7r m2 , but as a long time sony user

deep down I get the feeling sooner or later sony will sell this of to Nikon / canon  who will probably develop

a better camera etc, that's probably why sony are reluctant to speed up their lens production and other lens

makers not producing any specific lenses for these cameras, I may be wrong , I really hope so , but it sure

don't look like it at the moment.

You think Sony is reluctant to speed up their lens production? Wow! That's incredible! How could it possibly be any faster? 

Just look at the number of new lenses (both E and A mount) Sony has released in the last 18 months including the new ones they have just announced. No other camera manufacturer even comes close to their level of output. Sony's lens development and production is incredibly fast by market standards.

it's not the quantity I care about , its the quality , I am sure you will agree that a £1700 36 megapixel camera should have a lens that gives you 36 megapixels or very

close to it, whats the point of having a 36mp camera when the lens is only giving you 16 megapixel pics?

HI.

 

i am not sure I understand you. All the new FF e-mount lenses should be able to resolve 36 MP. I known people are not crazy about the 24-70 but the a-mount version was never my cup of tea either.

 

Greetings from David

Which lenses are you talking about and where are you getting your data that says these lenses can only resolve 16mp?

You misunderstood the DXOMark P-MPix.

A lense cannot have a Resolution, because it is completely analogue.

The P-MPix are only valid together with a certain camera.

Each lense looses image quality, approximately half of the resolution is lost.

A 16 P-Mpix lense on a A7 has a higher P-MPix on the A7R.

 

It is not possible to have 32 M-Pix on a camera with 32 Megapixels, isn't it?

    • I'd opt for a small zoom, but I must admit that there seems to be a dearth of lenses in the e-mount in the 24-50mm range -- for some reason.  I have a small 24-70mm, but that's an a-mount Tamron.  Maybe you can find something by looking at lenses slightly longer.  I have a heavy, but small 24-100mm a-mount, and Tokina made a 24-200mm a-mount.  Maybe there are similar lenses in the e-mount.  Kill three birds with one stone.
    • I recently got an a7cii and to pair with the compact body, I thought of getting 2 of the trio compact lenses, 24mm F2.8 and 40mm F4.0. (I already have a 70-200mm) However I stumbled upon the newly released 24-50mm F2.8 G. I'm not sure which to get - I like the small factor of the prime lenses ON the body because it's discreet and helps me blend in as an average tourist / doesn't make it obvious when doing street. But if I add the dimensions of the 2 primes together, it takes up more space in the bag than the zoom lens. BUT THEN, the weight of the 2 prime lenses is 110g lesser than the zoom lens. The zoom lens has the added benefit of being more versatile.   So now I'm stumped. Each has their pros and cons and I can't decide which to get. I'd like to hear the views of you guys who are more experts at this.   Edit: I'm a bit concerned about weight because the last time I went overseas my shoulders were aching from carrying too much. Which is why I was looking for small compact primes in the first place.
    • Hi, I have got a6300 which shutter stopped working. I managed to change shutter but unfortunatelly broke shutter motor tape but I fixed that. After repair the shutter is working but not in a proper way, watch with sound. I bought the second shutter and tried to test it before dissaembling again and it doesn't react to magnet but it works fine when I apply 3V. Are there different type of shutter for a6000 - a6400? Back to the question what is wrong with my shutter after first repair? I don't want to put next shutter unfoundedly. Do your sony cameras perform such a self-check after start up?  IMG_5579 (1).webm
