Sony A7R: “Orange Peel” Texture
Sony Alpha A7R
In Guide to Mirrorless is published a discussion of an “orange peel” texture to the Sony A7R image quality, a not unpleasant but also not endearing effect I have not seen with Nikon D800E images.
Overall image quality is really spectacular, but it’s something that caught my eye and worth knowing about the camera. The explanation remains unclear, but to speculate, it is possibly related to the 8-bit lossy compression approach taken by Sony.
