Hi everyone! I'm new to this forum and had a beginner questions. I'm looking to buy my first camera and wanted to buy Sony, but I'm not sure if I want an A7 II or an A6500 E-mount camera. Those are in my price range. Which one do you think is worth investing into? Any advice would be appreciated!

If you have no collection of FF lenses to 

adapt to your new camera, the a6500 is 

my recommendation. 

 

Acoarst I have no idea about your style, 

or needs :-( But I have an a6000 and an 

a7-II [plus several others .... ], and if the 

a6000 had IBIS the a7-II would be just 

gathering dust. 

     

------------------------------------------------   

     

I originally bought the a7-II to use all my 

old FF lenses [sony-A, Nikon F mounts]. 

If not for all those classic FF lenses I'd 

never have considered the a7-II. I was 

already using various FF SLRs and also 

Sony APS-C cameras. The APS-C IQ is 

so very close to the FF cameras that I'm 

not about to tell anyone they need FF if 

they don't already have some FF lenses.   

    

You're going to see some replies telling 

you that FF is not just a quest for IQ but 

that it has other "advantages". Acoarst, 

there are differences. Differences ? Yes.  

But "differences" are NOT "advantages" 

unless you're gullible to marketing BS.

    • I recently got an a7cii and to pair with the compact body, I thought of getting 2 of the trio compact lenses, 24mm F2.8 and 40mm F4.0. (I already have a 70-200mm) However I stumbled upon the newly released 24-50mm F2.8 G. I'm not sure which to get - I like the small factor of the prime lenses ON the body because it's discreet and helps me blend in as an average tourist / doesn't make it obvious when doing street. But if I add the dimensions of the 2 primes together, it takes up more space in the bag than the zoom lens. BUT THEN, the weight of the 2 prime lenses is 110g lesser than the zoom lens. The zoom lens has the added benefit of being more versatile.   So now I'm stumped. Each has their pros and cons and I can't decide which to get. I'd like to hear the views of you guys who are more experts at this.   Edit: I'm a bit concerned about weight because the last time I went overseas my shoulders were aching from carrying too much. Which is why I was looking for small compact primes in the first place.
    • Hi, I have got a6300 which shutter stopped working. I managed to change shutter but unfortunatelly broke shutter motor tape but I fixed that. After repair the shutter is working but not in a proper way, watch with sound. I bought the second shutter and tried to test it before dissaembling again and it doesn't react to magnet but it works fine when I apply 3V. Are there different type of shutter for a6000 - a6400? Back to the question what is wrong with my shutter after first repair? I don't want to put next shutter unfoundedly. Do your sony cameras perform such a self-check after start up?  IMG_5579 (1).webm
