I have been trying out different lenses on the Sony A7. All of them take on a different perspective than when they were used on the crop sensor cameras. I found the A7's sensor is even more forgiving to old lenses than the NEX-6, as the pixel density is slightly lower on the A7 due to its larger sensor size. So far, I am very happy with the A7.

I suspect its more about magnification than pixel density. You are not just magnifying a portion of the center to get an image, but seeing a bigger view.
ReplyDeleteBack in Oz I have somehow less need of a camera. But when I travel again I think I'll be buying an A7
The pixels are slightly larger on the A7 than the NEX-6 and so it's less dense in terms of pixels per millimeter.
DeleteI think the A7 is currently a great value, especially if you have lots of old lenses.
When you are viewing the overall image its about the magnification effect on the capture, the density becomes apparent when viewing pixels at 100% on the screen.
