Until now we only saw A7r JEPG samples on the web. But I guess most future A7r owners are eagerly waiting to see RAW file samples. I am glad to report that SAR is the first site where you can get them! You can download them here at Wetransfer (408 MB). Feel free to create download mirrors so that we can all download them faster! You can open the images on Sony Image data converter (here for win and here for mac). The images have been taken with the 28-70mm Sony kit lens.

Image Copyright: You are free to use the images for your personal use. Please do not repost these images on other sites without permission asked at sonyalpharumors@gmail.com.
Please note: You are watching images shot on a camera with non finalized firmware and you open it with a non A7r optimized converter.

Support SonyAlphaRumors: After months of FF mirrorless rumor work I would be glad if you can support my work by making your A7-A7r purchase by using these links below. I will earn a small commission and you don’t pay one single penny more! Thanks!

This is the first review of an FE lens. The Australian guys from Photoreview (Click here) published the Zeiss 35mm f/2.8 FE review:

“The review lens proved capable of exceeding the resolution expectations of the sensor in the Sony ILC-a7 camera we tested it with. Slight edge softening could be seen in shots taken at the widest apertures. For many subjects, this feature is desirable as it leads the viewer’s eye towards the centre of the frame. Lateral chromatic aberration was consistently negilg8ible at all aperture settings as shown in the graph of our Imatest results, below. The red lien marks the border between ‘negligible’ and ‘low’ CA.”

Here are the test graphs and here the image samples.

I forgot to mention that by using these links to preorder your At/A7r I will earn a small commission and you don’t have to pay a penny more for it! I deeply appreciate your support!!!

Mobile01 posted that video recording the shutter noise of the A7-A7r. If you want to takes photos without being noticed…well that’s going to be almost impossible.

The video below is the hands-on from Gordon Laing (CameraLabs):

If you (like me) will be a future A7r camera owner than check out the many new image samples that have been posted today:
1) Full Size ISO samples have been posted on Photographyblog.
2) A7r (and A7) full size image samples and ISO test at eprice.com.hk.
3) Next A7r ISO test and a couple of A7 images at Dcfever.com.

Of course what you see are JPEG samples only and we can expect RAW files to be a tiny bit better. After careful pixel peeping..
