Sony NEX-5 vs NEX-5N ISO/Image Quality Test

[Alowisney]

I wanted to see the difference in the ISO capabilities and image quality of the NEX-5 and NEX-5N, so I set up a tripod and shot a series of shots from each in RAW+JPEG to see the differences. I chose a scene in my house to show color reproduction and detail that also had some straight lines to also show distortion from the 18-55mm kit lens. I used Program mode and just adjusted the ISO. I left the lens at 18mm for each shot. You can check it out on my blog here

I hope this is helpful to someone!

Link is dead.

What were your lenses and conclusions? 🙂

That's odd. If I go directly there it works, but from the forum link, it doesn't. You can just go directly to my blog at http://brianallengodfrey.blogspot.com/

I found that the NEX-5N's image quality and ISO ability really outclass the NEX-5. Also, the changes in the UI of adding more options for the customizable buttons really make it easier to use.

Maybe you can edit the original and make sure the http:// is in there.

And nice test by the way. The 5n is has some really impressive high ISO renderings.

Thanks!

I edited the original post to put in the link by hand and it seems to be working now.
