Here's a pic of some lips and chin.

and yes, it does seem softer, i think.

I'd say crop a bit. At the moment I get the feeling that you have too much empty space in the foreground. Nice pic!

Don - First, You're right - I''m happy to get any result at all. And was very surprised it went through Alamy - I actually uploaded it, out of couriousity, in a very small batch. According to David's explanation, they probably saw it - but Javelin is probably correct that they've turned a blind eye ...

Lt. Col. (Ret.) John Nagl, Counterinsurgency expert and Co-Author of the USArmy Counterinsurgency Field Manual. I Took this picture in a the Adelson Institute for Strategic Studies Counterinsurgency conference, held at December 8 in Tel-Aviv. I had a 100/f2 on my A700, but couldn't get close enough ...

The corners seem a bit soft to me. Is this a question of focus, or are they soft on the A900 even at f/10?

Not because I ever intend to shoot one, but because they have so much fine detail, it's easy to spot the differences. This shot from A900@6400 Isn't all that bad. Is the sample from the Nikon light years ahead? hard of course to compare, but I don't think so. http://forums.dpreview.com/forums/read.a...

1/200@2.8, 50mm, flash on, and if I understand correctly - 2/3 stop exposure balance. That Is pretty impressive for a NR off, Noise-Wise. The detail isn't amazing, but ISO 6400. However, something looks strange to me - the 6400 noise pattern looks, on my screen, more "natural" than the 320...

However, I can't find a full-size pic of 3200/6400 ISO in them. even the zoom for the 1600 isn't full-size. But as I've already said, I believe Nikon has no intention to make this camera a high-ISO machine.

The Pics at 6400 lack details, and seem slightly OOF. I'd guess NR was applied, for the lack of Chroma Noise. Not very impressive - But it seems that almost ALL first-out-of-the-camera pics tend to be horrible, regardless of maker.

I'm sure the sensor silicon is the same but the 12-channel readout and the gapless microlenses appear to be Nikon claims which Sony has not made for the A900. That means the performance could be far superior. David I find it quite hard to believe that the performance would be far superior, unless N...

but it may save you time post-processing and espcially when batch-processing.

(that is, he was correct several times before if I remember correctly). He said that there are 3 camera in the pipeline. Names, of course, are not binding and are for the sake of the discussion. - A800 (or whatever name) which would be an A900 with a 12mp D3 Sensor (said to be already in test runs, ...

I have one, and It's my main walkaround lens with the film camera. Good quality, fast, accurate.

My brother just bought one (mint condition, in original case, looks as if it was never used) and I used it on my A700. Amazing. sharp even wide open, much more than the 50/1.4. Gets even better at 2.8, and has low CA all the way, except for some extreme situation. I heard that the Zeiss 85 is differ...
