Not only that, but the image shared on Nokishita and resposted by SAR is NOT the E-mount version. It's the DSLR version. You'll need to either add the EF to E converter or buy the native E mount ...

The wheels fell off in your last paragraph ;-) lol I'd modify it and say that everybody would be interested in how good the results are when exposed in the manner in which they would expose their ...

had to Google "spruiking". Not ashamed to admit it.

Interesting! I wonder if the press event received final FW cameras while the reps didn't (perhaps they've had theirs longer?). Of course, both could be on the same FW in the camera body but ...

I don't believe the camera is pre-production. I remember several folks at the press event saying it was final FW for the camera, but not necessarily for the lenses. The software, however, is beta, ...

I believe it's a beta of LR. It's the same software (I believe) that DPR and Jared Polin are using to convert their raws. Hence, my post below about a possible explanation.

Others certainly know more about this than me, but I don't believe that banding shows up in any of those measures. And the only reason I'm thinking that is I believe I read about that back when ...

If I remember correctly, and someone please correct me if I'm wrong, the cameras at the press event (and therefore, the cameras the attendees brought home with them) all had a final FW installed. ...

Outdoor portraiture.

The important thing isn't that you don't do these pushes, it's that you don't see any real-world application of such things and that you have determined that it's ridiculous for anyone to do such ...

Okay.

Well, when you present half the argument, of course you make him look irrational. I'm paraphrasing but his argument was along the lines of... If you're going to apply the crop factor to the focal ...

He didn't create anything. He uncovered it. Big difference.

Here's a possible explanation for what we're seeing. I'm guessing Tony is using beta software and if that's the case, it's possible that it's not quite ready for such tests. I'm really kind of ...

Absolutely 100% correct! But what was alarming about the 6D Mark II was the extent of the price drop and the time frame. $800/40% (effective) in about 3 months is fairly unprecedented.

One can infer A LOT from a spec sheet combined with familiarity with a product line. For instance, I've shot the XSi, 60D, 70D, 6D, 5D II, 5D III, 5D IV, 5Ds, M, M5 as well as the Sony A7RII, ...

If you regularly raise exposure/brightness more than 3 stops, then yeah, you might want to.

You're welcome!

I posed a question in the comments to see what lens was used. Ideally, for a fair comparison, he'd use the same lens on all of the cameras which would eliminate the lens as a variable. If he ...

in case you haven't seen it, here's a comparison video... Summary: For sharpness/detail: A7RIII pixel shift > A7RIII > 5D Mark IV > R > 6D Mark II > A7III For dynamic range: A7RIII pixel shift > ...
