Here's a past thread about this - and the link takes you to this(translation is a bit off, but readable)
The link is telling, really. The A900 comes very very close to the Hasselblad with a DB. I give the Hassy a slight edge. But it's almost a coin toss. And the general consensus is that the A900 isn't *quite* as good as the Canon or Nikon, though it's very close.
Whenever I read this kind of lame tests, I dont know if I should laugh or cry
If you know how to use your equipment and make the most out of each camera,
the Sony is not even close to the Hasselblad.
And if you read the following from that thread, you will see that the tester this time did not know the equipment he tested.
"Hi All smile.gif
I can only smile after reading this article. The most funny thing is that Mr Bonecki rent this equipment from us, and didn't want assistant from our side because it is too expensive. Why they don;t ask me about doing the test
I will do it for free and the test will be more reliable. I know this equipment inside and out. If a photographer does not read messages on the display and can not cope with the hardware. Let them do not write that it is equipment. ( They call to me during this session, because they connect the camera with newer firmware to computer with older software and start loading older ver. of firmware and they have problem with it ). In my opinion it is not professional.
I can;t believe that the files of the Mamiya ZD is so bad. It is probably lack of knowledge.
Why they converting files to DNG?? Why they don't ask Hasselblad and Mamiya guys to do the test ?? Who believe that A900 has a better dynamic range, better colors? Who believe that H3DII has bad display where colors are not correct ?? ( Everybody who has this camera in the hand know that is not a true) Who believe that Mamiya is so bad? At the end of this test: specialist of large format printer write that MFDB is dead. LOL
It is not professional. Clearly feel that it is advertorial. It is so Polish...
Anyway - Believe me, we have good specialists in Poland too :-)"
This kind of biased and flawed tests will always pop up from time to time.
Read them as you should - as funny, clumsy stories of incompetense .
