Re: SONY A6000 VS SAMSUNG NX300 OR NX500

I have owned an NX20, an a6000 and an NX300.  I thought the a6000 would be an across the board upgrade, but I was surprised here is my summary:

1) NX20 with kit lens hands down beats a6000 with kit lens regarding image sharpness.  By a wide margin in fact.

2) a6000 has slightly less high ISO noise, but not as much as certain "tests" would indicate.  However, noise needs to be better defined.  The NX20 seems to have less color noise, while the a6000 has less luminance noise.

3) NX300 images are no as sharp as NX20 images.   The NX300 is known to have a more aggressive AA filter than the NX20.

I never purchased an NX30, but from my experience, most would find it an overall better camera than the a6000, save for the lens issue, specifically OIS primes.
