Sony A900 samples online...

Sep 9, 2008

Well, from what I see at 800 ISO and certainly at 6400 ISO I am not at all impressed so far. Samples are not state-of-the-art either, pretty bad focusing on the portrait.
I hope Nikon does not use this sensor or can do better job with it.
Resolution seems to be biiiig, yes, but at what cost...
