NEX300 vs NEX-7

I have both of them. I do like a lot the IQ of NX300 and overall functionalities but I really wanted the EVF so I decided to look for alternatives with EVF. Fortunately I didn't spend a lot of time and found a very good deal for a new NEX-7. So now I have both cameras (my wife is not happy with that stuff ) but unfortunately will sell NX300 because of the bad screen visibility on sun light.

My first impression after 2 hours of use of NEX-7. On high ISO in JPEG Sony performs better BUT with RAW files inversely Samsung has less noise, more details and more DR! I think Samsung performs almost like as NEX-5n in low light. Tomorrow will try to test them in outdoor condition if the weather will be fine.

Overall I like more the grip of NEX-7 but have to used to the different controls layout and lack of touch-screen which makes operations much faster and easy on NX300.
