FUJI X-PRO 1 - comparison with Sony NEX-7

I wanted to do a comparison between the X-Pro 1 and a Sony NEX-7. Difficult because of lens systems and different sensor sizes.

I decided to do it this way. I used the Voigtlander 20mm f/3.5 lens via adapters on both cameras. I used f/11 which is pretty much the lenses optimum aperture. Fuji jpgs. are regarded as being slightly better than the Sony equivalents, so to even it up and also to take account of the fact that the Sony's primary advantage would be seen as the larger file size I decided to upsize the X-Pro 1's jpgs to the same size as the NEX-7.

So here are 3 files. Please Note:- The full-size versions which you can access by clicking on them > flickr > Actions > View all sizes > Original, are VERY big.

I'll refrain from any comments here and let you come to your own conclusions.
