[QUOTE="Vincent, post: 417822, member: 15675"] An older picture, Rally drivers: [ATTACH=CONFIG]140977._xfImport[/ATTACH] I was going to reserve this for the A7 thread: - I have no issue with the ergonomics of the A7 series, using it for more artistic uses, the size or holding it is not that important. - the small size does make it feel better for street photography, you blend in. At least I feel more comfortable. - I mainly got it to use with my film camera lenses (Konica) and I love that use. I have no AF so no AF remarks. This also makes it a light solution. - I also got it to use for high ISO, I put a TC 2X on my 500mm and shot at f13 (not exact with adapter) ISO 25600, works on a covered day. - I have been testing extreme macro, I do need to add a light source it seems, but high ISO helps a lot. - Documentation is terrible, even the forums are vague and incomplete. - Battery life is not convincing at this moment, I took some measures to improve this. - It is a modern camera, loaded with features, I think it complements very well an APS-C sports shooter. It seems that changing camera is OK for me, more then holding something even bigger then a D7000. Edit: I think any camera makes good photos under the right conditions; but I forgot to mention: 1) I once accidentally took a black picture, accidentally changed from auto ISO to ISO 200 during the night: what I was able to recuperate was incredible. Even if my D7000 is strong in this, I did see a difference. So I do appreciate the extended dynamic range (my experience is limited in this). 2) Yesterday I did some selfies (actually auto-portraits), the skin tones are a lot more detailed then the D7000. The model was crap though I need to retake today. => in short, if you are nitpicking or make mistakes the sensor is fantastic, for the best pictures I personally think this is less important. Just like the 12MPix which some see as an issue, a D3s or D700 are still professional machines, just frame your picture correctly. [/QUOTE]
