NEX-7 Full Size JPG Samples

This was posted yesterday and added to today.

Early firmware, so-so lens and I'm guessing that these are in-camera JPG. Low ISO looks good, but high ISO looks absolutely dreadful. I downloaded and downsized the brick wall/vine image and was quite impressed, but higher ISO is, well, what you might expect from a 24Mpix APS-C sensor.

Since it's early firmware, it's not really of much use. The production units in November are the real test.

Wait, I thought that dreary boring samples are the lifeblood of many photo sharing sites...

Looks like the noise reduction algorithm needs some work- not awful, but could be better. I agree with DI that the production version of the software will be the real test.

My M8 blows these samples away!

It seems My M8 blows these Nex 7 samples away by leaps and bounds. Hopefully this is a firmware and lousy lens issue. This could make me buy the Ricoh GRX . We will see when this thing hits the street!

Yes, the GXR/NEX-7 comparisons will be very interesting.

Interesting. I've never seen a full sweep panorama shot before. EXIF data says 18mm Focal width, but it was shot with a 55-210 lens.

So I'm guessing that they fudged the focal length based on the actual lens setting divided by the number of shots it actually stitched together? 55 / 3 = 18?

And how does this calculated focal length affect the "CircleOfConfusion" and "HyperfocalDistance" EXIF data?
