There was never any proof that results were going to be any different on the 16 MP sensor.  This was all made-cop claim to start with

 

Ahem ...

I mentioned that the NEX 6 'seems to be a bit better at large apertures (outer region)'.

Or in other words a 16mp camera outperforms a 24mp at large apertures. There is no scaling effect whatsoever here - normally there should be one - especially considering the difference in Megapixels.

If you look at the various reviews you will notice that the NEX7 struggles at large apertures, not when stopping down.

 

Anyway, I will do another test to verify the finding anyway.
