16mm performance ?

I tend AF all wides as far to infininity as the scene will allow and the lens will pull the edges sharp, the NEX16 included . so the awful photozone shots were down to the reviewer not knowing this then .

The NX200 has a weak AA filter, I shoot RAW and it can Moire almost as much as a Pentax K10 on some scenes (the K10 was as sharp as usable AA filters got, the Nikon D70 almost didn`t have one at all) , remember that 14Mp hides some of the softness due to lower resolution, it hides AF blunders too (again., the AF in the Pentax K100D was no less abysmal than the K10 but 6Mp hid most of the issues) ......

I found the NEX5N to be the hardest to shoot the 16mm with, you had to really shoot deep into the scene to get the edges sharp wheras the old NEX5 and the 24Mp NEX7 were a lot more forgiving - it`s not down to AA filter Ariston, it`s down to the way the AF is setup, it would seem the NEX5N was setup easier for the Auto brigade (hoping DOF would take up the slack) or that mine was a front focusser

I found the NEX5N was prone to front focussing if not careful, maybe the NX200/20 are moreso than the NX100 (or at least your sample hence your report) but I`ve found the AF to be easier to aim than any of the NEX range though that`s largely down to the superb resizable AF square which iisn`t prone to hitting things in the foreground as the larger NEX one.
