    Hi Matt, as always I like your differentiated and informative view. Regarding the lossless compression: Obviously everybody asks for it, but maybe it needs too much processing power and therefore wouldn't speed up things. And more processing always means even less battery life, too. So I think this reveals a real limit of the actual Sony A7 line. Better firmware may or may not substantially improve it.

    Excellent analysis, I'm sure that many of us have been wondering about this.
