Next A7s silent shutter test

SAR reader AbortAbort posted his A7s impressions on Dpreview Forum. He will buy the camera and writes why:

In my view A7S is by far the best A7 series camera yet. The others are amazing and if you need resolution there is no comparison, but the fast AF in almost any light, the files that need far less work, the (relatively) slow lenses to keep the system small, the completely silent (and seemingly) very usable electronic shutter mode, the smaller files sizes (bigger buffer, faster processing, less storage), cleaner EVF and better video make all make it more than worthwhile for me… and I haven’t spoken about the

More new A7s tests:
4K video once (which most seem to think is the only selling point of this camera).

But how good is the Zeiss lens? SLRgear (Click here) just posted the lens test results and writes:

For Sony shooters using APS-C E-mount cameras, the Sony E 16-70mm ƒ/4 Carl Zeiss Vario-Tessar T* ZA OSS lens is a very versatile, lightweight, well-built lens with good image quality. The images are quite sharp, even wide open, and the autofocus performance is excellent. The Sony 16-70mm Zeiss is an excellent walkaround lens.
