I just received my new Sony A7R.  From the first days the camera came out last year I knew I was going to migrate to it from my Nikon kit (although I will still keep most of my Nikon lenses and one body). But I was waiting for the 24 – 70 mm Sony lens to come out. It starting shipping last weekend and mine arrived yesterday. So my first thought was, how does this compare to the Nikon 24 – 70, which is a superb lens? So I am running a few tests. The first and most obvious difference that you can see is the different white balance results. The Nikon is much warmer (and I think more reflective of the light). The Nikon (a D700 12 Mega Pixel camera) is still marginally sharper. But I am still pretty happy with the Sony.

Now for crops of those images:

Conclusion: The Sony A7R doesn’t break my back and is pretty sharp. Happy so far.
