Image Quality

This section contains the most surprises, as Sony's new sensor design not only outperforms the preceding NEX-5N by a decent margin, but actually gives the NEX-7 a run for its money too. While color accuracy is mediocre, we were impressed by strong noise, resolution, and especially dynamic range scores.
