My guess is that Turtle's last sentence hits the mark.

There is at least one case where OVFs aren't up to EVFs : when using a TSE manual lens and trying to ascertain whether you have nailed focus or not. Not even checking focus afterward is good enough in my Canon 6D, because of a very mediocre implementation of the LCD (lack if contrast, low resolution, low magnification level and a fixed LCD not allowing you any escape from the direct sunlight).I mostly find the EVF superior to an OVF, but while there are situations where an EVF doesn't work very well (sports photography is probably the most important), there are none except for video where an OVF can't be used.
Really? The how come they remove the AA filter with the RX1r?Because the pixel density for a 24MP FF sensor is not high enough to avoid aliasing/false detail in a lot of shooting situations.
I absolutely live my TSE on my A7r. I seriously can't miss focus unless I do it on purpose . I'm using those lenses as normal lenses as well. I could even do street work with them if I wanted too , they focus really well.There is at least one case where OVFs aren't up to EVFs : when using a TSE manual lens and trying to ascertain whether you have nailed focus or not.

TSE lenses are an extreme case, but whenever I want to focus manually on the 6D, my eyes aren't able to judge focus, because there is neither magnification, nor the red/yellow peaking countour available.
They can tailor the lens to match the sensor since it is a cybershot. Can't have that with an OTUS and shoot video with it (moire).Really? The how come they remove the AA filter with the RX1r?

I thought Hasselblad stopped the luxury Sony cameras...Just wait for the Hasselblad version, I'm sure that will cater to all your needs :ROTFL:
You can always buy a Giotto or Sony LCD Screen Protector...*Yawn* Another remarkable game-changing, bar-raising product from Sony?
(tossing it into the heap alongside the RX1, RX100, NEX7 and "old" A7)
Like a lot of you, I'm scratching my head over these so-called "upgrades" which do nothing but enhance image quality and functionality while doing nothing to address real problems that we face, such as scratched LCD windows, to say nothing about the lack of choice in body colors and cladding.
I think you'll want to hold off for the A9 announcements if at all possible.Lot of debate here but sounds damn good to me. It may just push me enough to go full FE and sell my A77II
... and on the D7100 and K5?They can tailor the lens to match the sensor since it is a cybershot. Can't have that with an OTUS and shoot video with it (moire).
Not that I know of, recently they further upgraded the Lunar with a limited edition. :banghead:I thought Hasselblad stopped the luxury Sony cameras...
Needs more gold and gemstones for that perfect balance of brash-yet-tasteless.Just wait for the Hasselblad version, I'm sure that will cater to all your needs :ROTFL:
Well this is what I saw. The design Center that gives them the "celestial" treatment is supposed to close. Surprise: Hasselblad closes design center and ends the “luxury” camera business? | sonyalpharumorsNot that I know of, recently they further upgraded the Lunar with a limited edition. :banghead:
Obviously they first have to do a pimped a7 before even considering a pimped a7II

I like your unit of measure.With the heavier weight, will it use larger batteries? A larger grip alone (and perhaps even IBIS) surely does not account for this. More solid build all round? We are talking three Mars bars here. ...
of course now you could nonchalantly lounge against a lamppost with a ciggy in one hand and snap whatever you want with 5-axis IBIS!
I have looked at the extended specifications listed by DPreview in their comparing tool and most specs, including battery are identical. Not sure whether this is correct, or whether this is due to a copy/paste and they just changed what is already known to be different. (AF characteristics and processor are exactly the same as for the A7, yet Sony clames a 30% AF speed increase)I like your unit of measure.
Of course, if they ship it with the same battery as the A7, I'll wonder where the extra weight came from too.

They're closing the design centre but I hear rumours that they intend to carry on from a rhinestone studded, gold leafed garden shed in the C.E.O's back yard.Well this is what I saw.
