With regards to Full Frame offerings I have been downloading original files for the the D700 & 5D and thought they were kinda the holy grail re: IQ
After reading glowing reviews of the Sony on the LL site coupled with the 24-70 Zeiss lens I decided to see what the files looked like & how they fitted into "my" workflow.
Most files from the Sony have similar characteristics as Pentax i.e. exposes for the highlights.The Sony requires very little adjustment with re: contrast, saturation etc but requires quite a substantial amount of sharpening with an amount of detail rendering i.e blades of grass etc that I haven't quite seen before - crop ability is quite incredible.
Wow - to be quite honest the detail, tonality, color separation, dynamic range, too be quite honest I haven't really seen anything close in it's price range.
I think if anyone was looking for a landscape/portrait FF dslr - this dslr or the 850 should be top of the list.
Anybody else have opinions/experiences?
