Why you can trust TechRadar
As part of our image quality testing for the Sony NEX-5n, we've shot our resolution chart with the Sony 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 kit lens mounted.
If you view our crops of the resolution chart's central section at 100% (or Actual Pixels) you will see that, for example, at ISO 200 the Sony NEX-5n is capable of resolving up to around 20 (line widths per picture height x100) in its highest quality JPEG files.
Examining images of the chart taken at each sensitivity setting reveals the following resolution scores in line widths per picture height x100:
ISO 100, score: 20 (see full image)
ISO 200, score: 20 (see full image)
ISO 400, score: 20 (see full image)
ISO 800, score: 20 (see full image)
