Hey Paul, Resolution aside, which one has a better IQ ...?
A complicated answer, both, the 7 if you don't use wide lenses that cause color shift or smearing, and if you keep the ISO below 1000,
otherwise the 5N, 5R, & 6 will have better IQ with the least PP required. Also, does Nex-6 handle the super wide 3rd party lens better than Nex-7?
For the most part yes, The 7 shows some color shift on just about every WA lens that I've seen, some better than others, even on some Sony lenses.
Color shift is relatively easy to cure using Cornerfix or similar programs, when there is smearing, the lens is more or less useless. Would you kindly share which aspects of Nex-6 is better than the Nex-7?
The EVF may be improved somewhat according to reports, RF wide performance, standard hotshoe, I don't think I've heard of any grips peeling on the 6, I'm not sure if Sony eliminated that problem with new 7's at the source.
Most owners love the extra resolution, dynamic range and extra controls of the 7, but hate the color shift and high ISO noise.
The 6 so far hasn't had any serious flaws that I've seen or heard about, and a lot of 7 owners wish it had the features the 6 has.(sensor & hotshoe)
My wife was going hiking with our granddaughter last September and I suggested she take a real camera instead of her "point and shoot." I gave her my NEX 5n with a CV15, set the aperture to f:8, focus near infinity and ISO auto and just told her to point and shoot. These are some of the results.
Ah, looks like Ruth Mountain! Hope to climb it this year. Second picture from the same trail? Haven't actually been there yet, but it's on my list.
Adam211 - You are correct about Ruth Mountain and yes, same trail. ...and I am an old guy but I am in Bellingham, not Seattle. Your stitch of Baker is really impressive. That peak gets a lot of snow!
Here are a couple of shots from lake Padden this morning. These were taken with a Nex 5n with Minolta Rokkor 58mm 1.2 at f:11
Lance, nice mood you captured there. Look forward to seeing more, welcome to the thread.
Here are a couple of recent family shots. My son won the award to bring the class teddy bear ("Parker") home for the weekend this week. Part of the process is, we take some photos and add them to the journal of what Parker has been up to. Each family contributes to the journal when they take care of Parker, so it's an interesting chronicle of the life of a teddy bear
