As for your samples...They are far too small to tell anything meaningfull...

Funny, because people (including me) can obviously see a clear difference. So, they are meaningful.

I\'ve just bought an NEX-5N, and for me the degradation of IQ is worth it. I just hate large cameras.

As for the samples of the third subject, I\'m seeing no difference whatsover between them.
This is why I suggested he post 100% crops as well.

Then speak for yourself. I can see a huge difference between the shots in example #2.
I love big cameras! You can give me yours if you like Mak. For me in those side by side shots the Nex looked so bad it just spoiled the shots! The 5D images made me go: Oooo, beautiful photography! The Nex ones made me go: Oh great, another snapshot from someone\'s vacation... next will be his kids standing in a row? The 5D ones have clearly resolved and distinct colors that really added depth to the shots. The Nex ones made mush of the colors and my eyes actually had difficulties distinguishing detail which made them look flat, confused, and weirdly saturated or overly saturated? The 5D shots delivered details that made me want to spend time looking at them. The Nex samples just kinda presented a dull scene fully consumed in a glance.
But anyway, I think where there is something to compare to side-by-side so to speak, then the importance of 100% crops is radically reduced. And really this thread and the comparisons in it seem to be about the overall resulting images and not sharpness, micro-contrast, or CA which is where 100% crops are so useful.
