it seems to me that the Nex5N is better then the Nex6, why ? those camera has the same 16mp

sensor, and the Nex6 is the newer camera and therefore should be better, or not ? !!

so what are your thoughts, thanks.

Nex6 left and Nex5N right

I'm not a big Sony fan-boy and don't appreciate some of the features of the NEX 5n but I still own the camera and can't say even one bad thing about the picture quality.

If you read any reliable review (not some blogger--a professional review site) you'll see that the 5n meets or exceeds the picture quality of the best APS size sensor cameras.

The only cameras that are better at low light/high ISO are cameras with a full frame sensor.

Naturally, the end result depends a lot on the lens used and the photographer but you just won't find an APS sensor that's any better than the one in the 5n.

I like the features and interface on the NEX 6 and the NEX 7 much better than the NEX 5n but it would be hard for me to be happy with the IQ on another camera.

How can one explain this setback ? Sony did improve other things on the Nex6 and produce a drawback on high ISO which the 5N was the king of high ISO, how could they let that slip away !!
