I've always cringed at Sony colours (mostly how they renders the magenta in skin tones and the greens in foliage), their autofocus however, has always been a very tempting feature to me. So I thought I'd head out and purely (to the best of my ability) test the image quality without autofocus. The results surprized me, and my decision between the two systems seems a little harder now that I've seen how close I can get them with a quick grade.
I already have my own opinion on which direction I plan to go, but I'm keen to hear your thoughts!
