Sony NEX-6 preview extended: high ISO comparisons dissapoint

Funny enough I clicked on your link and didn't breath any easier. Ironically you chose the blue watch in the right lower corner. It doesn't take much looking to see that details are obviously better preserved on the NEX-5N. Look at the watch brand name underneath the THURSDAY sign - the 5N is obviously sharper, more detailed and on NEX-6 those letter are just a smudge.

I am not saying that in a real world that's not close enough but to me there is significant difference there.

Btw the coin shot I like more on the NEX-6 in RAW because there is less color noise, but processed I am not sure NEX-5N still wouldn't come out on top in terms of detail retention sharpness.
