So i made the plunge and purchased a ZV-E10 The image quality is is very good, keeping in that a6000 line. The video quality surpasses my a6300 The in camera picture profiles are better than my a6300 and the zv-e10 handles low light much better. the stabilization actually works maybe not as well as the gopro. I like the mic and power and video jacks I like that there's no red light on the front of the camera when recording. One thing i don't like is that it has no EVF. i need readers to see anything close ,, so i miss the diopter of the viewfinder. I had to add a cage grip to hold it a bit better. The button to switch between modes is awkward. i often get it confused with the record button. Here are a couple of links to some hand held video https://www.facebook.com/100092293754370/videos/300720569600078/ https://www.facebook.com/100092293754370/videos/181674238355510/

Ok so usually OSS lenses aren't the greatest in wide and middle zooms. But what would you say is the best OSS wide or nomal lens both fixed and zoom.

As much as i would love to have an a9 or a1, financially thats just beyond my financial necessity at the moment. Looking to buy an older a7. Which version should i buy? What should i look for? What features have you found most useful. What should i be wary of?

Model train engine.

Nice!!!

Wow, great shot!

Im a noob when it comes to videography . Can someone tell me the advantage of recording at 100mbs over 60mbs. Now i realize the a6300 is not a true dedicated video camera but i have tried both record rates and i honestly cannot tell a difference between the two. (I do know that i had to buy a $65 dollar SD card that had a max write speed over 100mbs to record at 100mbs. Thats the only difference ive found so far ) Is it a matter of processing reach of one over the other? Thanks in advance.

Great captures! well done.

have you considered a used a7r or a7II? Could probably find one less that the cost of a new a6500. Unless you just need the faster fps.

On my A-mount cameras, the IS was independent of the lens and compensated by adjusting for the actual camera movement. IBIS would work with any lens attached.

I upgraded my a6000 to 3.2 back in august when it was first released. The only thing i noticed was faster AF in low light. It's possible your may need a faster SD card now, there is a note about it the firmware release notes. https://esupport.sony.com/US/p/model-home.pl?mdl=ILCE6000&LOC=3#/downloadTab "Adds support for recording movies in the XAVC S format that supports high bit rates (NTSC: 60p/30p/24p PAL: 50p/25p) Notes: When recording a movie in the XAVC S format, you must use a Class 10 or faster SDXC card If you format the memory card, all of the data will be erased. Make sure that the data on the card is backed up before formatting the card" Are you recording at a different bit rate now? that could be affecting your monitor and internal temps. I have read some accounts where a6300 uses could no longer record at 100m on their SD cards that claimed 100mb/s write speed after their firmware upgrade. Upgrading to a card with over 120mb/s write speed was required.

Interesting. Hope you get it sorted out.

There is a definite quality difference between the older selp1650 and the newer ones. Ive had both. The older one was very quite but the image quality was not the best. The new one i have was manufactured less than a 6 months ago and it makes a bit of noise while zooming and "unpancaking" but the image quality is far better than the the first one i had. kind of odd. However,,,, none of them can compare to the SAL1650 f2.8 that lens is just amazing at anything above 18mm. but it's HUGE especially with the adapter. If you get the sel18105g, You'll enjoy it's fixed barrel length but your 18mm shot camera jpegs will be heavily cropped by the camera. I did a wedding once using that lens. i ended up having to do a lot of raw editing. But on the plus side the lens works very well in video mode. Also you will notice that the a6000 actually has a tad better sensor that the nex7. But not worth worrying about. The NEx7 has a all metal body which is nice. The nex-7 also had the old Minolta/Sony flash mount.

I have the sel1650 ,no clicking here. Unless you are running in video mode, then you can hear the image stabilization running in your video.
