It turns out that the lens was still out performing the sensor. After that
review was written there was a marked improvement in RAW converters, with
Raw Shooter specifically leading the way. Both the A1 and A2 as well as the
A200 became MUCH sharper as a result. Minolta's in-camera conversion was
horrid.

Raw Shooter and the A1/A2 were a perfect match. ACR still stinks with the
Minolta files. DPReview only tested with in-camera and ACR.
