Sony A7R: Potential Gamechanger?

[jfrabat]

Read Thom Hogan's less-than-glowing review of the way Sony compromises its raw data by using highly-loss 11-bit data. Yeah, you read right: highly lossy, and ELEVEN bit data.

Can't say I have seen this in my shots, and I have been using the A77 for a few years now...

Yeah I have read that before and I really don't think that anyone would ever suffer from that. I mean if you are going to print 100% cropped in all the time with blown up images which I don't think the majority of photographers will do. I think many of the reviewers out there just bit pick things and search for any little thing to point out so they have something to right about. Most of these new cameras from every manufacture are really good with great IQ.

I have seen superb images with sony, nikon and canon.
