Sony NEX-6 preview extended: high ISO comparisons dissapoint

Another thing of which I've been reminded while looking over these comparisons is that Fuji continues to have the only JPEG engine that's even remotely worth using. And Samsung's continues to be pure misery.

It's a shame that Fuji's JPEG engine needs to be so good, what with all of the RAW difficulties.

Also, I know it's been argued to death, but a comment above reminds me of how much of a bum rap the NEX-7's high-ISO performance gets. It definitely looks worse than the lower-MP cameras' sensors SOC, but is very easily correctible in LR/ACR. Chroma noise is the biggest issue, and that goes away lickety split. It also has the least banding of any camera I've ever used, which is a huge plus.
