Sony a7(R): Best thing that happened to Canon users this year.

Took these with my Sony A7 + Canon 100mm f/2.8 FD Lens (manual lens and cheap FD to NEX adapter)

1.

This is an interesting read. There are some good comparison images between various cameras;

What about these images makes you want this camera?

im seeing colors and effects i havnt seen yet with my 6d just yet.

also i own a nex 5r, and that camera runs rings around my 60d for what i use it for at work currently. (shooting autos for web postings)

You will not see the colors and effects with your present lenses. David T. has been around the block a few times, is shooting a pretty wide prime and he can post-process a photo...

I find that each of my lenses gives a different color rendering and even using 2 different programs post-processing RAW, my results are subtly different.

I think I will be joining the A7R crew. When I saw that the metabones adapter was free by redemption here in Australia. I no longer had a reason to wait.

Ok, few more stuff from B&H from NYC, USA adding into my a7R; but there is still no sign of the ADEPTER from AUSTRALIA!

The a7R original shoulder strap is one of the most ugliest one from any cameras I ever used. So I get a leather replacement from Sony self:

I got my A7r the day it hit the stores on the 22/11 and put through the redemption code that night. I hadn't heard a thing until today when i sent them a message on facebook (Sony Australia). Within 20mins they replied and said there was a mix up and that it would be posted express today.

So it's a bummer there was a problem but their customer service has been excellent and fast!

^ Thanks, tohara.

I'll give Sony a call tomorrow as I'm getting a bit sick with a BODY-ONLY camera, which is taking into a total new level of meaning and beyond joke

And Sony HVL-F20M External Flash just for fill flash only, as I have NO plan to carry another heavy flash!

Sony α7R with Sony HVL-F20M External Flash by X_Tan, on Flickr

is there a Sony/Canon hotshoe adapter/trigger that is compatible with Canon's wireless TTL system? that's only thing holding me back from getting the A7R.

i left my camera at home today... disappointed that i did not bring my A7 to work today...

no, i havent bailed ship just yet. but i do wanna look at this. like i said, my nex 5r is nice in intelligent mode shooting for web posting. but i would never use it for any of my model shoots. and when an individual tried to convince me the 5r camera was better than anything else out there, i chuckled in my head, yeah, it is if your a moron and dont know how to get out of manual. it is a very nice point a shoot style. Because of this opening of my eyes, i wanna take a look at the 7. Fact, nothing stays on top forever, and to assume canon will as much as i want it to is foolish and close minded.

Im sure his skill set in PP is also a factor, but thats something i will be able to tell when toying with this camera.

You cant Post Process image Quality & Bokeh, guys.... the only editing i do to my street photography is resize and watermark them... i might edit one to black and white but that's about it when it comes to my street photography.

I could care less what Sony comes up with I would not buy it. To me,based on personal experience with their products, they make overpriced junk with poor support.

And you might be right...but what other high mpix great dynamic range camera can take my existing Canon lenses? None...so the choice is narrowed down to 1 camera. Take it or leave it. If you leave it, then the high mpix and dynamic range just is not enough of an issue for you to care...so you most likely don't need the camera.
