My thoughts? Utterly lovely results. But looking at the size and weight of this machine: I'm out. Sorry

US here? Wrong target group, if you ask me. Forget pIxel peeping, 'genuine' bokeh and all the other aspects discussed here. Commercial VR is barely beyond square one. Give it time. watch it closely.

Peace. Lets end this thread, shall we?

Amazing shot - congratulations. I had some strange color effects with my DP2 Merrill. Might this be the case here too with the yellowish tint??

What I'd like to have is this kind of quality (or better ;-) ) lighter and somewhat more compact.. lets say with 24-300 to make that more doable..
we can talk about the fine points of...

My Thanks to you both for your responses @Rishi @Cheng
Consider me impressed :)

Make sure to slighlty under expose the pictures to prevent killing highlights... and have a fast machine to convert the RAW files.

Having used the Sigma DP2 Merril for some time I also liked the resolution very much but found colors to be somewhat off on various occasions. That's what caused me to sell it.
I wouldnt know about...

Thank you for your fast response.. Please check the conditions or dates of the comparison pictures taken. It appears to me as if they would have been taken at similar times.

Uhm. Need a little help here:
I switch the comparsion tool to 400mm and choose the FZ1000 as comparsion partner: I get shown pictures in wich the SONY cant seem to show one straight (eg. window...

I owned a dp2 od the merrill series and loved it. Sadly, I havent found a way to get comfortable with the new form factor of the Quattro's. Sigma please offer something pocketable. I am a fan

I would have given the same recommendations.. Personally I don't like the out of camera jpegs of the Sony.. D3300 could really use an upgrade of the autofocus system.

Check out the Roundup for the less expensive cameras. The d5500 is quite prominent there ;). I think you will be pleased with the outcome.

Cant wait for the next roundup.. How about the D500 be the FF body's? ...come on And take my money!

Hm. I tried it with my 14mm lens.. and was sad to find i couldnt really use the OVF. It did not display the frame due to the wide angle. What do you two use most? OVF or EVF?

@zerfas: I think you are right. Any guesses as to when we can expect the X-T2 to be released?

To have that discussion I think one would need to have been there. Stage lights do the weirdest things. Editing to what your eyes made of them tends to be a good idea.
And it would be kind of hard...

Let us have a review of the DL series first before we praise anyones AF performance. ;)

Impressed, looking forward to seeing the RAW versions. How many shots did you get out of a battery?

I have used an FZ1000 for some time. As a backup to my DSLR - it helps me reduce the number of lenses I carry ;) btw.
I would really like to see somme results from this Sony. Please include the...
