02/12/2012 NEX-7 Gallery now at full resolution and ISO 100/800 shots

Note: These shots are very agressively sharpened for finest detail. This also means that noise is shown amplified. We know that we could smoothen the noise. But we want to show the noise that is there. We plan to post our thoughts on this soon.

02/07/2012 Nikon announces 36MP D800 and D800E DSLRs (via)

- The D800 and D800E are mainly identical. The D800E is a major surprise because it does not have any AA filter. This will result in higher resolution but also may show more moire in some cases.

- Will be also interesting to watch the video quality from these cameras.
