Originally posted by normhead Yes, everyone wants to compete with the 645D. And comparing a camera with the next format up is always a journalistic conceit bound to increase readership and inspire return visits. The question you would have to ask is, would anyone who actually bought a 645D be impressed by these images, or is this just a way to encourage people who might move up to an FF feel better about their purchase?
Here's what you need to know…
There's still a reason to buy a 645D. Sad that so many years after it;s launch it's still relevant. What have all these companies been doing with their time?
i use the 645d and i have still to see a sample who impress me from a ff camera. the same happen to another user who soot d800e and 645d.
is simply the rendering in sublet light, like sunrise and sunset. micro contrast and detail and a natural rendering. the level of contrast is perfect , the color are spot on, sky super clear even at iso 200.
i have also to admit that i bought the camera mint for 4900 and with 2800 i bought every fa lens out there apart the 150-300.
in addiction the lenses easily resolve the sensor, especially the corner, mostly lack ca especially stopped down. i have the a35 and with the 645d the quality is simply unbelievable. zero ca tack sharp stopped down, just a hint of distortion. the lens cost me 350 dollar.
i agree that new lenses should cost far less, and we miss new LS lenses.
all in all the d800 e and a7 are very good and id like to add the d800 with 14-28 but for me the medium format produce images that are more pleasant.
