A7RII (or A9) coming in two weeks from now?

It could just be a beta camera they are using and are still tweaking it.

Secretly throwing that image to the public gets people to beta best and tell them the results so they can gather peoples feedback and tweak the sensor

or maybe Zeiss was given this fabled 50mp camera during the development of the batis lenses to ensurethat the optical designs can resolve a 50mp sensor.

The A7r is no longer on sony's website and there is a blank space... Could we possibly see the a7rII this week?

This proves my point man. I doubt that most people are going to go through the amount of trouble you just did to very specifically look for a problem. Not at all discounting that this is important to you, but sometimes we all need to step back and acknowledge that how we feel about something doesn't resonate with the majority.

Most people don't judge a photo by how it looks at 100% crop. In fact, for the type of shooting that I tend to favor, they look terrible at 100% crop because they're usually shot with fast aperture primes. And I don't know of a fast aperture prime that doesn't have some CA or fringing wide open, at 100%. This is immaterial, however, because 100% crop is not the way the image is intended to be view.

I know this is a month old (I had stopped reading this thread), but I thought the reason people loved the Sony sensors was specifically the ability to push exposures by way more than a stop or a stop and a half? Now it's extreme?

I keep reading the post you quoted and your post and I can't figure what one has to do with the other. Carlo was talking about extreme cropping (100% cropping), and you're talking about pushing exposures. Is that really the post you meant to quote?

Mayhaps I should have multi-quoted; he was responding to jocau, who was indeed talking about pushing shadows. The extreme cropping was a side point in his response.

I said that the exposure was pushed aggressively, which was introducing compression artifacts in the borders of the highlights (which are only visibile at 100% btw). Very different from pushing the shadows, which can be pushed very aggressively while introducing very little noise. The DR advantagse of Sony sensors are plainly obvious even at 18% crop

No problem. Join the other thread, I would say.
