I continue my feedback from NX300 vs NEX-7 battle.

Day two.

AF : Outdoor no doubt NX300's AF is x1.5 faster than NEX-7. Indoor low light NEX-7's AF is faster and doesn't hunt as does NX300.

ISO: My first impression was confirmed NX300 makes less noise. BUT Sony requires less exposure time for the same ISO (e.g. 13sec vs 30 sec).

Kit lens: Samsung 18-55mm III is sharper on edges and corners than Sony 18-55mm. BUT Sony's OIS performs better which allows to make more smooth video.

It was a very rainy weather today so sorry that I can't show you photos.

I found my Nex 5 constantly under expose, I wonder if this is similar for the 7. I also found that the NR is fairly strong and remove quite a bit of detail even when set low. For my Samsung NX300, I actually turn the NR off. When you have time, pls post some photos. Thank you for posting your results here.
