Hey Don you are in my favorite place. You have every right to be tired and cold, but not cranky.I'm cranky, tired and cold but thought I'd get this off my chest.....

I think you mean Damned (Beavers build a "Dam"), Physics (Physic is a medical term often meaning a medical agent for purging the bowels ), and Humaniora ... a word so unused, I had to look it up.Dam.. Guess I moved the flash - on more try.. Forgot to tell I was kick out of Physic Class - Humaniore is my speciality

Spelling and English grammar is NOT my forte' either, and English is my only language
Suffice it to say some of us should say away from the whole testing procedure ... it is usually a losing proposition that invites being ground up into dust by techno nerd, pixel peepers with degrees from MIT. :ROTFL:
Still we do it. Masochism I guess. We like something, then try to scientifically prove why we like it. A non sequitur at best.
Someone said it earlier ... "If you like it, then it is good".

Me too. I was kicked out of the school Spelling Bee on the first word ... :ROTFL:HE HE Marc - I was kick out of spelling class to..
"Dam" - I see in many cartoons - must be ok
And next, here is a "s" - please put it in so it fits = "Physics (from Greek φυσική (ἐπιστήμη), i.e. "knowledge of nature", from φύσις, physis, i.e. "nature" is the natural science that involves the study of matter and its motion through space and time, along with related concepts such as energy and force. More broadly, it is the general analysis of nature, conducted in order to understand how the universe behaves".

I try not to let my life (nor my photographic) die in anal retentiveness...

Don,I'm in total agreement with Bobs statement. It seems there is this same type of discussion every time there's a new camera. Best advise is to try it if it works for you then great if not oh well. I don't subscribe to the idea of dissecting each and everything to its core trying to see how it works. Right now until something better comes along it works well for Sandy and me. I did ask Sandy her thoughts and the only negative was the shutter sound then she also said she's gotten used to it. Bottom line it works for us.

I've been following that thread too. They certainly put the anal in analysis and draw too many conclusions from a couple of 'test' example images at non-native ISO and exposed to facilitate post-processing workflow. :facesmack:With regard to lossy RAW compression, supplementary information may be found here. I advise starting from post 42.
Well, it is indeed lossy, but does that matter?I've been following that thread too. They certainly put the anal in analysis and draw too many conclusions from a couple of 'test' example images at non-native ISO and exposed to facilitate post-processing workflow. :facesmack:
LOLWell, it is indeed lossy, but does that matter?
It might if you can see it, but if you can't does it matter?
Personally, I would shy away from it only because I would need some convincing that indeed it didn't matter. OTOH the camera has some virtues and if I like Guy's I might not give it back LOL

Whilst I won't be with you folks I'll be keeping my eye out in Yosemite for one of you two wandering around with a Sony A7R with a tuned mass damper hanging on the bottom. :ROTFL:LOL
I have both the A7 and A7R you can play with all you want.
Yes, to me it does matter. I like to be in control of what matters to me, I don't want manufacturer to decide for me, especially when it doesn't cost them anything to give me an option. Also, implementing nothing but lossy algorithm places a strong bet that loss will _never_ be noticed. That is impossible and sooner or later certain number of people will be impacted on certain shots.Well, it is indeed lossy, but does that matter?
It might if you can see it, but if you can't does it matter?
