1. The Zeiss images posted there are 100% crop (at 24mm), unlike most other images and the link to the full image shows good corner characteristics in my opinion.
2. For a kit lens, both the 18-55mm and 16mm shows better extreme corner characteristics than my 28-75 KM kit lens when wide open on A900.
3. The reviewer had limited time with the camera and fired only 1 comparison shot between the CZ and the kit zoom in the day and at night at 24mm, under less than ideal conditions (e.g. backlit, no tripod) and despite that, the images looked fine for it's intended purpose/audience.
4. He had the fisheye adaptor on some of the 16mm images and this won't show up on exif info.
5. Final remarks on the kit lens by the reviewer is that he finds it comparable to entry level kit lens quality and added that the image quality at low-light is where the NEX shines.
6. The twin kit lens (16mm and 18-55mm) are listed in it's PRO list in the conclusion and the only CONS are 2 seconds start-up and inconvenient flash option!
7. Lastly, the reviewer was impressed with the shutter responsiveness and auto-focus speed and he strongly recommends this camera when it launches in July.
I was expecting a less than positve review based on the comments here and totally didn't expect such a glowing review for the NEX 5. Just to put things into perspective for those who rely on google translate or simply just jump into conclusions without taking into account the words that are suppose to go along with the images.
