Originally posted by Pentaxor I'm not sure what tests you are looking at, but the NX1 certainly looks better. although lens also plays a part in making the results even better, it also shows the resolution capability of the camera and lens combo. normally a higher mp sensor would demand a really remarkable lens to resolve that much detail but it seems the new BSI architecture played a role in keeping the IQ at great level. lens should not impact how the IQ look at High ISO.
How do you know NX1 looks best? It could be any of the three cameras that display the truest representation of the scene.
Or is it that the NX1 images makes the images look closest to your own preference?
When images look this different at base ISO it's not because difference in sensors used. I will not draw any conclusion from this test and will wait for further tests.
The base ISO images from NX1 look great, but I'm pretty sure there would not be any problem to process RAW data from A77II and D750 to look just as good (or better).
Quote: from the test, it reads they applied the best sharpening from all cameras and the best lenses so I don't think there is a conspiracy to make the Sony A77 II look bad. even more so with the NX lens which showed a weak corner. maybe 24mm would have done better for cropped sensor cameras. but that would also increase the performance of what is already the existing IQ of both lenses. usually Sony jpegs are better than what NX cameras can produce, so I don't buy the jpeg setting difference also.
considering these are only beta samples from the NX, that is already something worth considering about, especially with the IQ looking good.
I don't believe in conspiracy, or could care less about the Sony A77 II, but I believe in science, and in science you need to use controlled settings when doing scientific tests. And you also need to publish detailed info on how the test was done so anyone can try to repeat the test. What do "best sharpening" really mean?
Using different white balance, contrast, saturation, sharpness and maybe even lightning when trying to compare different cameras, is just not good enough.
