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.
