A few days ago I received my A6300. After my impressions SONY has taken a big step forward with this camera. I am most impressed with the new AF system and the (opposite the A6000) even higher image quality. And (together with the LA-EA3) my Sony A DT 2.8 / 16-50 mm SSM awakens to new life!

The example image has been created with the E PZ 4,0 / 18-105 mm G OSS.
Image data. F / 11 - 1/350 sec (-0.5) - ISO 100 - focal length 70 mm.

I got mine about 10 days ago and was really impressed about how much better it handles in action settings when compared to the A6000. The new EVF and live action shooting modes are a lot responsive and UHS2 support is nice for clearing of the buffer after continuous shooting. Also I got the feeling that the ISO performance has increased slightly. 

 

Got the chance to shoot some women's football on sunday to test it out: https://goo.gl/photos/4NNJcY8fBzHiiu4x8

 

(I know the pics aren't that great, was just playing with the camera a bit)

I'd love to see someone compare the a6300's copper-connects sensor with the RX100m4's BSI sensor. Aside from being able to swap lenses, I'm not sure if the a6300 takes better stills under what conditions.

Even the A6000 was better. I had both, and the A6000 was cleaner with much more DR at low ISO, way better at mid ISO, and still usable at high ISO where the IV was mush. The A6300 is very similar to the A6000 up to 1600, then starts to pull away up to 6400, and is in a different league past that.

Thanks, that helps  :)

      Accumulated light exposure modes?

      By cwinte · Posted

      Thinking about control of images in low light with blur and movement I would like to experiment more with me manually varying aperture during a shot. With a manual lens this allows me to start with a small aperture and collect some fluidity and then snap lens to much larger aperture to give a more solid defined image. To date in a few quick trials I have just used a fixed exposure time judged by seeing exposure at a few apertures and then just trying my dexterity. A next step up would be that the camera closes the shutter when it has accumulated enough light. Maybe some long exposure /astronomy contexts might do that sort of thing....? To help imagine I'm thinking musicians in a bar, animals in low light, individuals in motion in some context. Mostly I seem to need near 1s exposure to synch my aperture change and have enough time. A de-clicked lens or one with a loose aperture ring would help (maybe I have at home on the shelf) but I am away with just 2 old Olympus lenses and TBH the aperture rings are a bit stiff and close to the focus ring... Any thoughts or suggestions?

      Luminar Editing Program Compatibility

      By Cameratose · Posted

      Friends don't let friends use Luminar. They lie, their DAM is either non-existent or garbage. They tell you it's a one-time purchase with free updates for the life of the program. Problem is, they bring out a whole new program every year or two, then they stop 'updating' or even supporting the old one. They give away the last version free to suck you in to the next one. I tried them a while back and went through the entire process. When I removed it from my computer (after I cancelled my sale on the new version) I had to delete 36,000 sidecar/thumbnails of my photos, most of which I had never even opened in Luminar. It just went into my folders and automatically created all of these files.  There are many decent programs out there you can get that will stand head and shoulders above Luminar.

      Luminar Editing Program Compatibility

      By Gene3 · Posted

      I am considering purchasing the Luminar editing program for IOS to use with my A7iv; however in listing which cameras are compatible, there is this statement: "Sony vcb cropped p send-raw format is not currently supported."  Does anyone know if this means that the program will not work with raw photos?  Has anyone successfully used this program editing raw photos?
