Fun with A7S

It's what I have been noticing immediately with this cam is the files look to have really nice tonality to them. I like it a lot. This could be trouble.
I really want to wait for Photokinia but my interest in this one has gone up more than I thought it would.
Keep posting images folks

I hope this fun thread will show what the camera is worth. Frankly, yesterday was the the first time I was outdoor with the camera and somehow I felt bonded to it right away. I didn't see that coming
The real pleasure came when I started processing the files I was positively surprised how much inherent latitude the files contains. You may push and pull pretty much here without noise becomes distracting. The colors are pretty robust against aggressive PP if one wish (which I don't). Of course one should keep up good exposure manners to obtain the optimum basic file, but good to see how deep the sensor reaches.
Obviously what we see is a result of less aggressive amplification of color luminance and hence the clean look.
12 fat Mega Pixels furthermore opens up for a great deal of usable lenses too.
The appearance of the S is good timnig for me. I am going to do an e-book about the little society I live in here the next 3 months

Have to say this as I been observing these images you folks are posting lately. This camera reminds me very much of fat pixel medium format look. Like my old Phase P25 9 micron sensor but with that you will see more moire in these images with the fat pixel A7s. Something to be aware of but I am really liking the look of it. If a A99II comes out with a 36mpx sensor I maybe selling all three of my bodies A7r,A77II and A6000 for a A99II for all my real work and this A7s as the travel, art cam. This cam looks to be the look cam. Hard to deny it as the tonal range is very sweet to the eye. Keep posting images folks
The moire, and I know it's there, hasn't shown its ugly face yet. Buy surely one day some fabric or textured architectural shots will show it. No other way than to treat it in PP should it show up on a keeper.
I can't help to say it, the IQ reminds me a bit of the CDD look, but hell with a lot more DR.
It is perhaps beginner 'wowing' that causes my beloved EM1 haven't been touched since the 7S stepped over my door step. But I must admit the files are much more robust to PP then the tiny stressed EM1 MFT files.
Should Sony on top of this little treasure camera offer a bundle of nice FE glass.. the EM1 is out of work until MFT format sensors becomes considerably better re. noise.
That said the 7S is not even close to the user performance and good feeling the EM1 offers the photographer.

Folks since this is a high ISO cam on the market when posting images as always we like to see what lenses you are shooting as it helps others make good buying decision. It would also be nice to see the ISO settings your using as it does help others know what to expect and what effect the noise has on the images.
I thank you in advance
