Lenstip samples never look good, since they always use the lowest sharpening setting available.

I have to agree on that, since I have looked at the new Sony and Samsung samples available there in the past few weeks. I have no idea why they do this: you just get to see how strong the AA filter is.

- excuse me? (re. the A77's samples at lenstip - off topic here? - maybe, maybe not) - (and sorry but i don't speak samsung copies - fridge problems you know <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='
' />) - but we must be looking at different things -
now i don't want to promote lovely lenstip overly, as opposed to other excellent sites (well, this one other excellent web site <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />) but, at least the pictures shown at LT usefully show what the sensor is capable of on a difficult grey day on subjects that have fine and course detail, light and dark, head to toe -
accepting that LT adds lowest sharpening, if one is not happy with that and then one adds just a wee little sharpening to what they show, you might find that there is plenty of detail in skin texture and (imo) minimal noise for a difficult grey day - ie. for me, good results for that sensor - problem comes if it becomes impossible to see detail no matter what you do -
so i think that these are most useful types of samples to show the quality of any camera/sensor under less than ideal conditions . . . no? . . . although on such a day, we don't get to see the compressed white faces that another site elsewhere has shown on its face samples for a certain camera . . . but i jest . . .
