By gosh, I believe I can almost see individual cells in the seed head
achenes of this Taraxacum officiale!

But, I do have a serious question:  How did you determine the A77 is "
about 5 - 10 times more noisy than a D700".  Measurement (how?)?,
specifications?, professional reviews? or are you experienced enough to
tell with your own eyes?

I'm always curious how people determine infinitesimal (to me) differences
in parameters I consider subjective.
