At launch date? You mean 2 to 3 weeks after the rest of the world got it.

Dun rub it in bro. LOL. Seriously dun think U can get fantastic freebies or substantially lower price across SG probably until Jan or Feb next year when most of the interested ppl bought the A7/Rs

haha never mind. we are in Sing so it takes time to come over here. after preordering the A7, now keep thinking whether I should switch to A7R instead (assuming that CP can switch for me on collection date). Do you guys think A7r image quality can justify the additional SGD800 over the A7???

Do u need to do big prints to justify tat kinda details?
Why on earth do you think you need the latest computer hardware? I regularly process 56MP files on an old AMD Athlon with 8gb RAM.

That's totally up to you. If it's just for yourself and you only share photos online at 2k or less any sensor can give you the same results.
Better spend money for better glass [or even better don't spend it at all].

I think that's one of those internet myths spread by Fake Chuck Westfall.

Totally agree. It is the psycho thing I have to overcome. Too much of GAS/BBB virus etc...but it is fun
LR was a dog when I was post processing my NEX-7 shots on my old 2.4 Core 2 Duo with 4 GB RAM. It was more of, adjust something, wait. Adjust again, wait. Batch render and it can take 2-3 min per shot. System 100% unresponsive during rendering. And this is with a PC with a SSD.
Fixed up a new PC with a 6 core i7 and 32 GB RAM. Everything is buttery smooth now. I find I do a much better job as I can do trial and error more often

sdchew, that's an impressive machine. I think RAM was the bottleneck in your machines performance. 4GB is tough for graphics work.

For sure now, FE 35/2.8 and FE 55/1.8 is out of scope for me. Will just play wif my existing legacy lenses till the faster FE lenses come next year. :bsmilie:

Well, we'll see when the first f/1.4 FE lens hits stores. Hopefully faster than for the APS-C E-mount…
[Not so sure if Zeiss is interested in that, maybe they will keep that for their own manual focus lenses.]

Actually it was part of the issue but not the main one;the CPU was the issue... Lightroom is CPU core intensive when you do things like noise reduction, spot removal and other kind of adjustments brushes...
I should mention the system cost less than an A7 body as moved quite a number of parts from the old system...

At least it's less compute intensive than DxO.
Do you have any experience with DxO 9? I hear the noise reduction, though very computationally intensive, is supposed to be really good at cleaning up High ISO noise?
It's very good.

A7 studio images added to dpreview comparisons.
I think the A7 actually compares pretty well to the R here apart from the extremely fine detail.
