Ahem, please stay real here.

At the time the NEX 7 was released we were cheered to started testing on it immediately.

I also didn't use it for testing because it was apparent that there might be problems.

A 24mp APS-C sensor is highly ambitious just by the numbers. The center resolution will always be much better than the outer region. This alone is not specific to Sony and will show up as a problem on all systems eventually - this is not about us here. Sony was first to push it like that.

 

Whether the 24mp sensor has specific issues is something that we have to investigate. I just had too little time for this lately.

Pardon? You were the one who found that the Nex 7 does have specific issues with specific lenses, and you have shown that. That the center resolution will be higher has nothing to do with that. 

You even bought a 2nd NEX7 because of the problem, just to verify that it was no sample issue.

It is well known that the Nex 5N corrected the issues the Nex 5 showed in the corners with specific lenses, and it is well known (partly by your testing) that the Nex 7 has real corner issues with specific lenses.

 

That is what is real. I just have the feeling that you just do not feel like starting again with a different body. But the results you get testing with the Nex 7 will remain useless as lens tests, as we never know from lens model to lens model what is due to lens resolution and what is due to the problematic sensor design. And is photozone not about testing lenses, instead of bodies?
