Nope. I had the Sony nex-5n and the Canon 7d and my better pics were always taken with the Canon 7d eventhough Internet- claimed the 5n had the better sensor. I never really believed it as I never saw any quantifiable difference between them. Nex-5n maybe had a little bit less FPN but the 7d handled LED-lighting way better which tended to blow on the 5n.

 

I now have the nex-7 and the difference is still kinda small. 7 has a bit more DR but nothing drastic. Biggest differences will be the lenses you use and your skill.

 

Thank you.

Yet, Sony claims that A6000 is even better than the NEX-7 in terms of sensor and focusing.. If this is true, logic tells me that images should look better from the A6000 comparing them with the NEX-7 or even comparing with the 70D...

  A direct head-to-head shootout will help us a lot...

 Thank you, guys, for your replies. Seems that all of you suggest the Sony, so I'll go for it, really appreciate your help.

So, in terms of stills quality, Sony is better...!?  (for a non professional shooter like me, the difference between a landscape taken with the A6000 and one with the 70D, in same conditions, will be visible?)

At this point, one thing that's pretty "annoying" is that there aren't so many lenses for the E mount and internet shopping isn't as vast as that of Canon... (and if you want quality glass on Sony you have to pay a lot, as "used market" is almost nonexistant). 

  Guys, would you buy this over the Canon 70D?

I'm interested in stills IQ more than in video and low-light focusing is pretty important to me...but I can't make my mind up!!!! 179 focus points vs 19 cross-type, touch screen vs great viewfinder, etc...

  I've asked everywhere, but no one tells me what to do: for what I'm needing (great stills, good indoor focusing), what shall I pick? The Sony A6000 or the Canon 70D ?

  Please help!  :wacko:

Thank you!
