Sony Alpha A900 — 24 megapixels

I was out shooting most of this weekend with the 28-megapixel Mamiya DL28 and the 24-megapixel Sony Alpha A900 (the latter courtesy of LensRentals.com). Only 4 megapixels difference, yet a world of difference in image quality (and ergonomics).

I’m weary from a very long weekend but I’ll have more to say on both cameras in the week ahead.

While I like the Sony A900 so far, it has some interesting issues I’m still investigating so as to rule out operator error. (BTW it’s really dumb that Sony doesn’t make the RAW processing software available for download, so I’m stuck with ACR). Potential Canon 5D Mark II users should not lose any sleep over the A900.
