Kai shows us how odd it is to shoot with the Alpa mirrorless camera with Sony 101 MP sensor

Share

The Alpa is the only mirrorless camera which uses the new Sony 101 medium format sensor. But unlike modern DSLR digital medium format cameras the Alpa is quite tricky to use. Kai surely got though a lot of annoyances to make it work. It would certainly make sense for Sony to launch a RX medium format camera with such sensor. If they manage to price it below $10,000 there may a market for this?

Fototesty: “A little experiment? See how much you will gain if the image from Sony a7R II downsize the image to the 24 MPix. For high iso – remove the noise in RAW, sharpen slightly and enjoy the results:
