Switching to sony A7 (from m4/3)


"The root to why men loves photography started when they were young. Think about it. Your first time in an elevator. Usually your mom have to threaten to smack you to stop you from pushing those buttons right? Now these boys grow up, and buy a camera to satisfy that need."

Bro.. I didn't have this experience,, when I was a boy, my elevator was "voice activated". No need to push button.. Got elevator jockey to push
 

Off topic : "Like" button was removed because of the issues with the bulletin board software. You guys might not know this, but there is a lot of background work those admin guys does to make sure a forum like this runs smoothly.

Yes. (OT again) since ageha asked and to add, it's sort of replace by reputation (star icon) button which can go both ways.

Could b better like Fuji colors.

Actually I like Sony's colors a lot but only if you use either Sony's converter or DxO, .ARW files look crap in LR (colors are off, grainy and soft).

Does Capture One Pro support A7 and if yes, how does it compare with Sony or DXO?

I didn't like Capture One last time I tested it, in general for all brands DxO is still the sharpest out of the box without artefacts. The new Prime noise reduction in DxO Optics Pro 9 is superb also and the micro contract dial is really nice anyway. Sony's own Image Data Converter together with Lightbox SR gives excellent results with .ARW files, it's just very limiting (if the proper colours and a low default noise level are important to you convert it to TIF in Sony's package and do the rest somewhere else).
