Hello everyone

Just thought i would share my experience with the 6300 with any who are interested. First impression taking it out of box is yeah, feels more durable and then after putting battery in i noticed the second thing was the buttons are way more weather sealed and you notice that right away when pressing any of them which is great. Next big thing i looked for and surenough was there just like in the big brother a7rii is Copyright yeah! can finally add your copyright info and have it embedded in the exif, and also the monitor/viewfinder can now be toggled via a custom button of your choice... which i love. Next big thing that grabbed me and in a big way you will notice is the much improved viewfinder(WoW) super crisp and bright and i even asked the best buy sales person to let me take it in their back room studio they call it to see if i could see in a very dark room through the viewfinder because i couldn't see through the a6000 for doing night shots like star trails and such but behold the sensor i guess is now sensitive enough that you can see great at night almost like night vision through the improved viewfinder just like the a7rii.... Happy bout that!

I used the kit lens 16-50 and did some long exposures of a stream and was really impressed with the results, and i would highly recommend it over the a6000 but to my testing i have found that high iso is improved over the 6000 but still not to where i would like it to be...

If you have any questions i would be happy to try to answer or at least give you my thoughts.

 

cheers

 

Oh and if anyone is interested i can upload a couple raw files from it for your pleasure and peeping!

      Looking for an a7R mk I, (second generation)

      By NewSonyUsER · Posted

      I'd really like to find a package deal for an a7R (mk I, second generation) which includes the neckstrap and box. I've searched Ebay and currently no one is listing what I'm looking for. They either have the camera only or a first generation a7R and a lot of them don't offer the Sony neckstrap or box it came in. I know your site doesn't have a formal 'Equipment For Sale' thread and granted Ebay is a better place to sell gear but I thought I'd see if any of the members have one and would like to upgrade to a newer model but don't think anyone would be looking for one that old. The cameras I've been using are in the 20 megapixel range and rather than jumping to a 40mp camera due to file size, the 36mp that the first a7R has was appealing to me and wouldn't break the bank. I've been using Canon and Nikon but really want experience a Sony. If a post like this is undesirable for this website, I understand but I thought I would ask. Thank you.

      Any A7R iv A issues with 200-600 zoom?

      By SonyFF32137 · Posted

      Here's a good thread on the issue.... https://www.dpreview.com/forums/thread/4571046 And here is the info on the A7RIVA that maybe explains why I don't see the issue...  The change in wording that caught my attention is that the new A7RIVA brochure says the structure has been "re-examined and redesigned." Don't know, but given the text of other parts of the brochures are copied word for word, the change in text here seems significant. My reading of this is that it is a redesign of the A7RIV. In that case, perhaps the 200-600 issues are less severe with the new body.

      2 Primes or 1 Zoom?

      By XKAES · Posted

      I'd opt for a small zoom, but I must admit that there seems to be a dearth of lenses in the e-mount in the 24-50mm range -- for some reason.  I have a small 24-70mm, but that's an a-mount Tamron.  Maybe you can find something by looking at lenses slightly longer.  I have a heavy, but small 24-100mm a-mount, and Tokina made a 24-200mm a-mount.  Maybe there are similar lenses in the e-mount.  Kill three birds with one stone.
