david, without knowing the reason for your issues with the D3x let me just reiterate that it makes absolutely no sense to use these junky lenses on the D3x. they are close to the worst of all possible nikon lens performers. i have tried the D3x (with 14-24, 24-70 and 100 VR micro) and the performanc...

sorry, the formatting of my last post was bad, i hope you can figure it out nevertheless. peter

hi david, The in-camera JPEG - which I won't post - is worse, an Sony must address this because even an A100 ISO 1600 JPEG can look better for chroma noise than the A900 - there is clearly something not right with the firmware for JPEG production, unless it is absolutely necessary to use strong NR, ...

david, canon overkills with NR, no doubt about that. however, the alpha 900 also does a lot of on-chip NR, even if the call it 'NR off' (when you look closely at the pic you have posted you see artifacts in the images which ONLY can come from noise reduction, like huge dark blotches in the face, may...

interesting point. i have heard already that canon raw files are the 'most' processed ones.... anyway, could you post some well exposed low iso raw files? so far we (or i) have only seen bad, underexposed, blown....examples or test charts. it is really hard to judge raw image quality so far unless i...

thanks david! just one more question: i have seen your shots with the pre-release CZ 16-35mm. and the edges of the frame were HORRIBLE. i have the nikon 12-24mm and so i am spoilt with wide angles. what is your opinion on the CZ 16-35? what do you expect from it eventually? another comment: why do y...

thanks for the welcome!
as far as raw converters go, the RAW DEVELOPER is very good.

dear all, i am thinking about getting an a900, at the moment i am using nikon d3, d700 and hasselblad h2 with phaseone p45 and leaf aptus 75. the main idea is to complement my gear with a lightweight hi quality hi res DSLR (which unfortunately nikon has not provided yet). and the zeiss lenses for th...
