Can somebody please discontinue the improbability drive and restore normality? (Hitchhikers guide to the galaxy.)
Are you seriously claiming that most other camera manufacturers chose to promote their products with mediocre images produced by unskilled photographers? And that only Sony now had the novel idea to use a skilled photographer to promote the A3000? Really?!
Promoting your camera with mediocre images produced by an unskilled photographer is like having a seriously obese man promote your gym. Its insanely improbable that Sony is the only camera manufacturer to use a skilled photographer for product promotion.
So, if the high IQ cannot be attributed to the 20mp sensor. (Like the people in this thread claim.) And not to a skilled photographer, as it is very likely that most manufacturers are smart enough to chose a skilled photographer for their promotional material. Then to what else can we attribute the high IQ?
Mind you, I see the same IQ increase when using my K-5 and NEX7 with the same lens. So personally I think it's just he extra MP's that we're seeing.
