NEX-7 test images up on Imaging Resource - WOW!

Hi

no, I meant it differently. Let's assume you only have a Leica 35/1.4 and a 50/1.4.

If you use i.e. the 35/1.4 lens on a NEX7, you would end up in a kind of a similar crop, but a bigger DOF then the same photo made with the 50/1.4 mm lens on the M9. But you do not want to go more "tele" in that situation for other reasons.

Would that not bother you? With APS-C I find the background often too much distracting compared to FF. I have often situations, where I can not choose another background or another distance to the subject.
The difference doesn't bother me all that much. It really only becomes an issue when working at extremes. Shooting a 35mm f1.4 on NEX is roughly equivalent to a 50mm f2 on a 135 sensor, and I'm not always a strictly shallow DOF type shooter.

+1.

Plus, at 24 meg. which lenses you use will also be revealing. I sure am not getting this puppy to use the kit lens on it :)

I ordered the NEX-7 with the kit zoom simply so that I have stabilized video option for my generic home movies of the family. Granted, the kit zoom is actually capable of pretty high resolution in the middle 2/3rds of the frame.

I ordered it with the kit zoom, in addition to the body only option, because I don't know which version will ship first lol

LOL - same instructions my dealer has.....whichever ships first. I have the kit zoom in silver already. The price of the kit is only $100 more so not a huge deal.

Yeah Jono, I also have both the AF kit lenses, and they most certainly do have their place ... I've used the 16mm as a pocket camera that actually fits in a pocket when in social situations like my wife's company parties. If I brought something more Pro looking, I just end up having to shoot stuff because people there know I'm a professional photographer ... instead of enjoying the party. :)

I need to at LEAST have something in hand that's better than my wife's iPhone 4 ... which she is pretty darned good at using :eek:

LOL
Have you tried the camera on the iPhone 4s yet? - it really is extremely good - A4 prints sharp right into the corners - I haven't tried an A3 yet - but I suspect that'll be useable as well.

. . . . . . and I've used the 16mm as well, it's fine for pocketable, and you can make the corners sharp(ish) at f8 as well.

I do wish Apple would hurry up with RAW support on the A77 though - but perhaps it'd be better to wait so that they can do the NEX7 at the same time

all the best
