| This new Sony mirror less seems to have a lot going for it. http://blog.sony.com/press/28061/ Thought a lot of the members would like the size, full frame, and lower 12mp sensor with low noise high 409,600 ISO. Just a note: maybe it's time to go back to the DIN ratings where 409600 ISO = 58DIN so that next years' 3,476,800 ISO or 3 stops more is 67 DIN.

| Definitely agree that the ISO numbers are getting too big. There is a lot going for the DIN system. The Sony camera seems to be much more useful than the other ones in the A7 range. If I wasnt into the Fuji range of X cameras then I might b interested. I do think that Nikon need to think long and hard about the advantages/disadvantages in DSLR of Optical v. EVF. They could with a little thought build another game changer like the F and F2 with different viewfinders or maybe have the same sensor based camera but one with EVF (electronic viewfinder) and other with OVF (optical viewfinder).

| Definitely agree that the ISO numbers are getting too big. There is a lot going for the DIN system. For those not familiar with the DIN system http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Film_speed ISO --- DIN 25 --- 15 50 --- 18 100 --- 21 200 --- 24 400 --- 27 800 --- 30 You get the drift! The A7S Sony camera seems to be much more useful than the other ones in the A7 range. If I wasnt into the Fuji range of X cameras then I might be interested. also the Sony lens range is a bit limited. Of the not Canon and Nikon manufacturers I think Olympus/Panasonic have the bbest lens range but Sony have some very innovative cameras but for a combo of both Fuji take a lot of beating. The new XT1 has had a few teething problems but it is a great camera to use. I do think that Nikon need to think long and hard about the advantages/disadvantages in DSLR of Optical v. EVF. They could with a little thought build another game changer like the F and F2 with different viewfinders or maybe have the same sensor based camera but one with EVF (electronic viewfinder) and other with OVF (optical viewfinder).

| Jonathan re: You get the drift! I get it (grin) But I think the strive for higher ISO/DIN is mostly to satisfy the marketing people, justy like the hunt for higher resolution. When did I last see any useful picture, taken at more than ISO1600 ? Regards, Gilbert

| I find that the D600 gives good results to 6400 and a friend finds the same thing with the D4S at 12800. He says that the 409600 is like a D1 at 6400 :~).
