Digital Cameras - Sony Alpha A700 RAW Test Images

The tables below show selected representative images from our test shot series that were shot in RAW mode. All were shot with the default ("normal") high ISO noise reduction setting, except the Still Life High ISO NR Series. RAW shots taken with V2 firmware have been added. (Sorry, we didn't have time to do a complete set.)

Depending on your browser, you can download the images by clicking on the links, or by right-clicking on the links and selecting "Save Target As...", or similar. Some browsers change the file extension to .TIFF. In that case, just rename to .ARW after downloading. You can see the full set of in-camera JPEG shots, including exposure information extracted from the EXIF file headers, on the Thumbnail index page.

NOTE: These are very large files (18+ megabytes each). They're here for you to use, but please be considerate of our bandwidth; don't just download everything willy-nilly. - Thanks!
