Sony NEX-6 vs. Sony A55 ISO Comparison

Comparison # 958
Camera ISO Comparison
Sony NEX-6 vs. Sony A55
	Comparison by Sinan Ozturk

Sony Alpha 55 has 2 ISO settings in the menu: Auto and Weak. In this shots, its set to "Auto".

Sony NEX 6's ISO settings are "Normal" and "Low" and in this shot its "Normal".

There is no custom exposure compansation set in either cameras. (Both set as "0"). I know that Nex6's shots are more darker than Sony 55's but this is how cameras measured the exposures on their own. [Review by Sinan Ozturk]
