Xbox One launches and Microsoft did not include Singapore even though we are a English speaking nation.

Waiting for the Kahmera to be out first

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?

Yup, it's really good and preserves much more detail than LR. Even with zero NR LR is really muddy anyway.

is a7 mount same as the NEX series? intending to buy lens mount so that i can use my old zuiko OM manual lens..

Does the A7 come in black colour? Was browsing through the web for hours but didn't come across that information.

I do not own a NEX body to test but based on what I have gathered from the internet the a7 mount is exactly the same as the NEX mount. I have already purchases Nikon F, Praktica, Rollei QBM, CY and m to NEX mount myself.

Yes it is the same, just the sensor is full frame

It is, though potentially some adapters might block the full-frame light path because they were only designed for APS-C sensors like Sony's own previous generation A-mount adapters.

I got the LA-EA4. The mirror in it is HUGE in comparison with the LA-EA2

Any one interested in half case for the Sony A7? I was researching for one but seems that only Gariz has one for pre-order now but their website is in Korean. Can't do anything there

the adapters only adds back the missing flange distance that the Sony Nex System has against the original mount.
I do not think adapters play a major part here, if its anything its how the original intention of the A7 A7r sensors were designed for - Native Sony Lenses.

Vignetting and smearing is merely a byproduct of using the wrong sensor intended for the wrong lens , like certain with angle lenses from M mount.

What ageha is referring to is like the ef to nex adaptors. The viltrox and metabones v 1-2 are meant for apsc sensors. Metabones v 3 is the only one for full frame.

Is this the first review which lists the autofocus of a7/a7R as a plus point?

Anyone know any adapter for legacy lens that does not focus way off from infinity. My cheap fotga adapter for r to m4/3 focus way off from infinity.. My om to m4/3 (no brand)is tiny bit off..
