Sony NEX-5N vs NEX-5 Distortion Correction
NEX-5N, ISO 100, 1/640 s, -0.7 EV, 18-55@30mm, f/8
NEX-5, ISO 200, 1/800 s, -0.7 EV, 18-55mm @29mm, f/8
Tom H. took the Sony NEX-5N and the NEX-5 for a stroll and came back with these comparison photos. The lens used was the kit 18-55mm OSS lens. The camera settings were P Mode, Auto ISO, and Auto White Balance. The samples are JPGs with minor editing.
The NEX-5N has the new lens correction feature which adjusts Lens Distortion, Vignetting, and Chromatic Aberration. This was used in the sample photos from the NEX-5N. The NEX-5N also has a minimum ISO of 100 compared to 200 for the NEX-5.
NEX-5N, ISO 100, 1/4 s, 18-55 @18mm, f/3.5
Sony NEX-5, ISO 200, 1/6 s, -0.7 EV, 18-55mm @18mm, f/3.5

...should we throw away our NEX-5 or the sony's people will deliver a firmware also for us?
ReplyDeleteI'm guessing this distortion correction only works for JPG images, and RAW will be unaffected?
ReplyDeleteie, we won't see the benefit if we use RAW files?
SONY should make a firmware update. v5.0.
ReplyDeleteISO 100 allow make better photos.
@ezio and @Nikko hopefully the Sony raw converter will have the lens corrections incorporated.
ReplyDelete@goodspeed hopefully the NEX-3 and NEX-5's next firmware will include some of the NEX-5N's capabilities.
