In these days bloggers are being invited by Panasonic and Sony to test the new mirrorless cameras. And here is the new test roundup I copied and pasted from 43rumors and SonyAlphaRumors :)
Sony NEX-6 and RX1:
Imaging Resource posted a new set of NEX-6 image samples and writes: “It’s a nice addition to the NEX line, particularly with its hybrid AF that should help video focusing. Image quality looks pretty good”
Also Dpreview posted a NEX-6 image gallery.
Steve Huff also published new pictures and says: “For those wondering if the NEX-6 is an improvement over the NEX-7 I would say DEFINITELY. It is quicker, snappier, more responsive, does not seem to overheat (in my limited use so far),has sharp IQ, comes with a great new kit zoom and even feels better with its matte finish.”
Engadget also tried to make an A99 versus RX1 image comparison but you can’t really see any difference based on that test. Engadget posted new Sony NEX-6 image samples and the video you see here on top.
Panasonic GH3 and Olympus E-PL5:
EosHD (Click here) reports “First change, I felt that the buttons were more tactile and grippy“.
The German Slashcam (translation here) reports that the Audio Level can be changed while recording.
Photoreview Australia posted the Olympus E-PL5 review including a detailed Imatest report: “The review camera’s low-light performance was impressive, with image noise only becoming visible in long exposures at ISO6400 and shots taken at ISO 12800 being printable up to A4 size.”

Cnet UK (Click here) posted a short GH3 preview. You can see some 100% crops and a video test. They write: “Head out with the GH3 and you can largely forget about light and sensitivity. When set to automatic ISO, my tests proved it could be trusted to select settings at least as high as ISO 3,200, with very little detrimental impact on the image. You have to look very closely to spot the grain, and it certainly doesn’t affect detail levels. Indeed, I would have no hesitation in shooting regularly at sensitivities above ISO 2,000 with the GH3.”
Photo-i.co posted a video hands-on (Click here) and some image samples (Click here).
