Popphoto.com calls a77 new king of aps-c

Go to last post
Anyone here subscribe to this magazine? I got my August, September and October copy (which I haven't gotten the chance to read) but I could not find this article even from the cover of October issue. I wanted to show the article to a friend who doesn't believe in the internet age.













It could be available online only but have you read it in print? Maybe it is for November issue.

Well the jpegs from dpr look pretty good so perhaps they judged the camera on i'ts jpeg performance, handling and feature set...

I've umm'ed and ahhh'ed about getting on for a while but these latest jpeg results have impressed me, while the raw results are scary, to put it mildly. What a funny start the A77 has in life

Please reread my above post as I added something. As a reply to you, something seems weird. Either Sony has a huge leap as far as jpg processing or something is wrong with the RAW conversions we've seen. You can't make a silk purse out of a sows ear you know.

Well I've had the A77 for some weeks now and I'm still not entirely happy with the RAWs. Can the professional reviwers and mags all be wrong or is it just me?

Shots even at ISO 200 are showing too much noise to me. I don't know whether it's because looking at a 24mp image is like viewing an A700 RAW at 200% so the noise no worse just exaggerated.

2 magazines said acceptable raw photos up to ISO 1600 or even 3200 and other user sample RAW photos looks pretty good so it must be your workflow or software you are using or probably you might to update your firmware
