And right now the NEX-6 is selling for about $350 less than the $1100 (body only) NEX-7.Īs far as image quality goes, 16-megapixels do not necessarily equal 16-megapixels. The NEX-6 is a compact system camera with a tilting LCD display and a built-in electronic viewfinder, but it has a 16-megapixel APS-C CMOS sensor instead of a 24-megapixel sensor like the NEX-7. I’ve been describing the NEX-6 as a mini-NEX-7 – that’s Sony’s 24-megapixel, top-of-the-line mirrorless camera. Last week I got a local photographer to bring his personal NEX-6 over so I could shoot a full set of studio tests, which you’ll find below. Unfortunately, I only had the camera for about three days and couldn’t get it in our studio for proper controlled test photos. A full Sony NEX-6 review, based on that experience, has already been published. I got to use the Sony Alpha NEX-6 for a few days in the fall, at a Sony press event.
