I don\'t know where you got those DXO numbers, but they both have a Sharpness score of \"29 P-Mpix\", when tested on the 5DSR and A7R. The main difference is that the Canon 50 needs f/2.8 before it gets sharp across the frame. For the price, Sony went cheap on the design and production (meaning high profit margin) of the 50/1.8.
The overall score is meaningless to most thinking people.
The only thing that is of some value is looking at the field map at various apertures.
The Zony is tack sharp corner to corner wide open.
The canon isn\'t as good at 5.6

multiplying by the \'sony premium\' that we all must endure for now, the canon would cost $375+, so i guess it should perform better than the sony.
that canon does seem like a hell of a bargain under any circumstance, although according to dxo the canon at f/5.6 isn\'t as sharp in the corners as the zony 55/1.8 is at f/1.8, so what do i know!? (a very apples & oranges comparison to be sure)
