The Amazing Sony A1/A7/A9/APS-C & Anything else welcome Mega Thread!

Been reading about Stripe noise on the A7iii that put me off now.
 
I've seen that reported before but I can't remember what A7 body it was but Googling should get anyone interested to reports.

I wouldn't let it put me off, it seems to be something that only happens in specific instances and even then some reviewers are seeing it whilst others at the same shoot are not.

Ah I see, did see that mentioned elsewhere, doesn’t look great - could be something that only appears at extremes I guess, need to wait and see if its a wider issue, certainly doesn’t happen with other Sony bodies.

Those samples are hardly extreme.

It a problem either sensor or firmware. Has it happened on any other A7 ranges.
 
Could be a beta camera rather than a final batch
 
Saw it on the link yes that a7iii am
Talking about others 7

It was there on my A6000 but not my A7 or A7RII (or my A77ii or my A99). I don't think it'll be a issue in the production body especially with mechanical shutter
 
Quick question; from what I can make out the best A7 series auto focus will be in the a7iii and second place to the a7riii?

Why don't you do some research.

I have and I only found that it happens on the A7iii and the 6000 or the 6500 but not found it happened on the A7R ii or iii or the A9
 
Unless you search under a different meaning I am search Stripe noise

That's my understanding too but no one knows for sure. If everything is equal between two bodies A7III will still have better frame coverage than A7RIII. So it'll most likely be better.

Thanks. Just watched a photorec YouTube video which confirms that a7iii is better af than a7riii
 
Sorry really it only caused when using a flash or bright light. What about bright landscape
 
We can turn PDAF off though so that could cure it but wouldn’t want it off would we

If I've understood it correctly it doesn't matter what kind of light source we're talking about, it's the reflection that's the problem.

So anything that's at the correct angle will cause it and presumably the more intense the light the more apparent the effect becomes which is why it's only really been obvious on stuff with a bright light towards the camera.

Given the number of complaints I would assume it's not too common but if you're shooting stuff like that on a regular basis expect to see it more often.
 
I wonder how real an issue this is. Internet has a habit of blowing things up. Reminds me of the banding on the a9. More research required.

Hmm [emoji848]

Now I dunno what to do I was all set on the a7 iii

I think you're over thinking this.... Even on A6000 where this issue is most prominent I barely faced it.

Last time I checked we have no idea what settings the shots were taken at. Plus these are JPG files and possibly shot with silent shutter.

You can always order and send it back if you have this issue. But I am willing to bet a penny or two that you'll never face it.

More than your d750??

Yes

I don't know about Nikons but I have seen people use e-m1+12-40 in sludge and heavy rain.
Other bodies I'd vouch for personally is Sony A77 series with their 16-50/2.8 and canon 7D series.

But I don't need that level of weather sealing, if you do then sony e-mount is definitely not for you.

TBH the EM1 gives me more confidence than my A77 and A77-II

I don’t need proper seal. I don’t shoot in rain full stop. Only snow as it gives effect

It's not just rain, it's dust, pollen etc etc.

It can happen on all A7's and the A9, it's the masked on sensor PDAF :(

Lol come on. Who has had any camera. Nevermind a Sony a7 fail because of dust pollution or pollen!
