Sony A6300 with Full frame lenses Image Quality Impression [Sony kit lens 28-70; Samyang 14mm]

Recently just tested some more shots with A6300 in a combination with Sony full frame kit lens 28-70mm as well as Samyang 14mm lens.
Have to say that it's not as satisfying when shooting portrait, the bokeh simply isn't as delicious as full frame body, regardless of the lens I used.
According to DXOmark, putting the Sony kit lens 28-70mm will result a mere 8mp sharp image, as I was shooting with the lens, I felt that it wasn't quite sharp, just as DXOmark said, but later put it on computer it turned out not so bad, sure, not as good as full frame but at least it's decent.

Above is a chart comparing A6300 tested result with the A6300 kit lens, Sony full frame 50mm f1.8 lens and full frame kit lens, as you can see, with the original kit lens that comes with A6300 it actually gets an even lower sharpness. It seems pretty good (12mp sharpness) on the 50mm lens which I also own, I will test that combo very soon. As for another lens that I'm planning to get is the Sony G 18-105mm f4 lens, all around good lens with convenient video function, test result is 9 mp sharpness, well, only a little sharper than kit lens... I wonder why, since this lens is built for crop sensor camera and it's a G lens after all, why does it produce only 1 mp more sharpness than a full frame kit lens? Note that DXO mark didn't test these lenses on A6300 but on A6000, therefore it could be different on A6300.

Now let's look at some Samyang 14mm lens photos:





And here's some photos at night



I'm not very happy about the A6300's ability to shoot in low light, although I heard that it's a good low light camera before I bought it. Even for video it wasn't so good in low light, huge amount of noise constantly visible.
