Have you taken the same photos with previous cameras, your example didn't show anything clear about the same conditions (bright light sources in or near the frame)

Mike, look at 2 and 3. They are the same light conditions--darkish indoor light with bright light at the left side of the frame.

image 2 = iso 2200

image 3 = iso1600

image 2 sensor has considerably more gain than image 3 and is correspondingly more able to display flare from off axis light sources.

also note a few degrees variation of light angle will effect whether flare occur or not and in your two image the angle is considerably different

It also looks like image 2 bright light was streaming through stain glass window (hence tourist taking front on picture) and image 3 an overcast day.
