I’m fine with the jpegs out of my Sony A65, and they’re definitely not the best OOC jpegs I’ve ever seen. I’ve seen plenty of OOC jpegs out of a wide variety of Canons, and I don’t have a problem with them. They look fine – even the ones out of my old 5 D. Today’s jpegs from just about any level Canon DSLR are very good quality. It’s the lens that I’m talking about, and I see not just the distortion, but acutal blurring, though with this limited selection of photos, it’s difficult to tell for sure the resolution of the lens in the corners. I’d like to see some f8 shots from a tripod, using mirror-up and a remote trigger or self-timer, focused in the middle, of course, but on a variety of distant subjects, such as a long, tall building, shot from a bridge nearby, and a curved building, so the focal plane of the lens is not far from the surface of the building at any point.
As far as “sour grapes” . . . I’m calling it as I see it. I’m not impressed. Nothing to do with affordability.
Started out doing photography at the age of 6 using an uncle's old 1940 kodak brownie box camera. At 15 years of age, I decided to buy my very own 1975 Praktica SLR camera. I now shoot with a Nikon D850. I do unpaid TFP and commercial paid work.
