SDQH vs Sony A7 shooting experience

I have been shooting handheld today with my Sigma 17-50mm f2.8 EX OS DC HSM on an SD Quattro H and a Sony A7 using my Sigma 70mm f2.8 EX macro on a Sigma MC-11 adapter.

After looking at these, I wish I had been more careful to shoot exactly the same scenes, but that's not what I was thinking about. I was more interested in playing around with both of the cameras, and frankly the two cameras had different lenses on them, so I wasn't thinking it would be any sort of detail comparison test, though that will most likely be inevitable. I shot at 50mm with the SD Quattro H most of the time, so that's the focal length you'll see here. With the Sony I was using my 70mm prime the whole time, so that's all you'll see from these photos. The two lenses seem pretty comparable in the middle, but the jpegs from the Sigma SHOULD be superior, because it has a Foveon sensor that captures about 1.5 MP more, right?

Here are the OOC samples (I did not shoot the first two from the same location):

So after seeing the photographic results, here is my commentary about my shooting experience:

Both cameras seem to handle pretty well. I like the viewfinders of both cameras. The review screens on both cameras seem good, as do the controls, but the Sony has a folding screen, which I preferred. The Sony seemed a little more responsive (quick). I could review my photos almost immediately with the Sony, while I had to wait with the Sigma. Controls of the menus seemed similar with both cameras, but I'm used to the Sony controls, because I've been using Sony cameras for more than five years (A55, A65, and A77), so they might be more difficult for new Sony users vs new Sigma users.

I used the Sony in manual focus mode only, while I switched back and forth from manual to auto to manual a few times with the Sigma.

The Sigma is the bigger camera . . . by far. Even the batteries are bigger, but I'm not sure about the Sigma battery life compared to the Sony, because I didn't burn through all the power in the batteries.

So far I'm happier with the Sony that I thought I would be. I like both cameras, but I miss the ergonomics of my SD1 Merrill. I really wish that camera had live-view, like these newer cameras do.

The Sony does video capability, but I haven't tried that yet.

EDIT: My observation of these OOC jpegs is that the Sigma SD Quattro H photos seem to be sharpened more. I see more halos in them. I guess I need to check the sharpness settings of the Sony, just in case the sharpness is turned down in that camera.
