Sony NEX-7 – Our Future @ 9 months

I recently posted pics of our baby girl on our couch at nine months.  The picture posted was taken with my Leica M9 and Noctilux.  I also took a few pictures with my Sony NEX-7 and Zeiss 24mm.  Because, Aperture does’t process NEX-7 RAW files currently, I’m using Capture One Express and finally got around to processing them.

I have to say the images in my opinion are comparable to my Leica M9.  The sharpness is dead on and the colors are great.  I even noticed that the Leica M9 output causes some red tones in her skin that is not seen on the NEX-7 (I’ve heard others comment about these red tones but I never really noticed other than when shooting at high ISO’s).  Let me know your thoughts?

P.S. If you want to see the full size images let me know and I can email them to you.  Last, even though I speak very highly of the Sony NEX-7, I still love shooting with my Leica.  There is something I find fascinating shooting with an all manual camera (I suppose I like the challenge).
