I was not happy with skin tones with the 5N and the 16mm or the kit zoom or the 1.8 Zeiss a year ago. I am interested in the NEX again for its compactness, but is the NEX 6 producing similar jpeg skin tones or did Sony change something. People looked yellow/orange to me.

I am happy with the Sony RX100. I thought I'd ask.

I am fine with the NEX-6 skin tones -- they look accurate to me (certainly not yellow/orange).

Now don't get upset with me because I think you did a good job with this picture but there is a slight yellow over tone.

It's not bad but it is there. Here is a color corrected copy of your shot.



Only a slight difference but there is a difference.

Just the same, the yellow in your photo isn't too bad.

For me, the yellow tone is THE BEST part of Minolta/Sony's rendering (and Olympus with  Fuji close by). Minolta had a group dedicated to research on lens coating that would generate that kind of look.

It is huge for fashion industry and in my opinion resembles the film (kodachrome).
