different processing algorithm, different lens.
 

looks like NEX 5N has built-in sharpening for image

All the tests at Imaging-resource are using Sigma 70mm Macro lens, so lens quality is out of the equation.

The SEL18-55 can't be sharper than K5's one right?

The results from NEX 5N look pretty good so far. Glad to see Sony made some improvement on the already excellent sensor.
 

Sony driving their hand tuned "car" so they know how powerful and how much they can whack :)
Pentax bought it second hand and hum ji so never push it harder than it can take :D

Just like those Panasonic GH1 hacks, they can unlock the sensors potential through custom firmware :p
Not surprised if a series of firmwares in future allow more features!
