This new extremly cheap E-mount camera has a 20 mp APS-C sensor, so it's not the same sensor as in the rest of the NEX cameras...

Is this sensor better or worse than the current 16 or 24 mp NEX sensors?

Has anyone tried the A3000 with difficult legacy lenses, like the Contax G Biogon 21mm?

The A3000 shares a sensor with the A58 A mount body. Performance is reportedly comparable to the 16MP sensor.

I wouldn't expect improved performance with difficult legacy lenses as the configuration is a bargain-basement configuration and likely has low-cost, thick, sensor toppings.

I was going to get one of these to check as they are so cheap, but looking at it I'm worried that it would not be able to use my tilt/shift adapter due to the EVF bulge.
