NEX-3n:
The Sony NEX-3n is finally in Stock at Amazon (Click here), Adorama (Click here), and BHphoto (Click here).
DxOmark (Click here) published the full NEX-3n sensor test. And of course the results are pretty much the same of the predecessor (the NEX-F3) that had exactly the same sensor. The small differences are here because of the slightly different imaging processor.
The NEX-3N is a great little camera that beats many mirrorless camers from other manufacturers. Now let’s bring on the new NEX-7n Sony!
RX100:
The RX100 got a $53 price drop and sells for $597 at [shoplink 17716 ebay]BigValue (Click here)[/shoplink]. Free Shipping of course!

“The small differences are here because of the slightly different imaging processor.”
No, the differences are there due to margin of error and sample variation.
The imaging processor works on jpegs, not RAW.
I agree with Amir, AFAIK JPEG engine cannot affect DxO Mark scores.
I don’t like seeing the drop in the low light scores.
You didn’t understand what is the iso scale.
the lowlight score is equal, like all other scores, within margin of error.
I understand margin of error just fine, but as I expect sensors to be more like the economy with a cost of living increase that goes into effect. As new years are upon us and new sensors emerge, I want to see the low light performance improve. Staying the same is like a drop.
It’s unreasonable to expect low light performance to improve every year. Without some new technology, the lowlight score could in fact stagnate for years. The laws of physics dictate that there is only so much you can do in low light.
Just be grateful you aren’t stuck with Canon APS-C sensors. They’ve stayed the same for about four years now.
I would have expected the 3N to do much better.
From the photo you can clearly see it actually has a sensor, whereas the F3 has a big hole…
+1 haha!
Finally a NEX that can use a wired remote RM-VPR1.
I want the Sony nex-7n now!
Can someone explain why NEX cameras using the same sensors as Sony, Nikon & Pentax DSLRs have much lower specs for low light performance and dynamic range?
Repetitive much? You asked this before and you were answered before.
At a given ISO, they are ostly within margin of error, minus the Pentax results at ISO 3200 and above, which are affected by RAW NR.

Basically what a firmware update would do… Sony needs to stop selling new bodies as FW updates!!! On The Nex and Alpha Bodies…
How does a firmware make a camera smaller and lighter and adds things like a zoom lever for PZ lenses?
Always eager to learn.
Unfortunately, we do not have Vitaly like gh2,3 user have . Sony nex 7n must be really good if they want to sell it . For me ,video quality is the most important , but still must be good as well. I will see what Vitaly will do with gh3 and what sony with nex 7n .
umm if video quality is most important why are you buying a stills camera?
I am not going to spend another 5.000eur for camera B .
All is MARKETING. 2005-2013 – years of fooling and marketing. No progress, just renaming, getting worse then getting better – “progress”. 5 year old Canon 40D shoots great like 60D. Sony is the same. 3 year old NEX 5 sensor has quite same rating like new 5R-6-7.
The nice thing about the new 7n and a7 is that they dont have aa filters.
“The small differences are here because”
there is margin of error in every testing.
