Nataw, if you have found a solution to your grain problems I would like some guidance if possible! I recently bought an a6500 with the 18-105mm lens. I am having SERIOUS issues with grain and cant figure out what is causing it. I have been shooting in Cine4 and have issues as soon as i bring my footage into premiere and it only gets worse with color correction, particularly with my 120fps footage. I am following the shutter rule, ISO is low, im shooting in bright sunlight with an expensive tiffen ND filter so exposure and gear quality should not be the issue. Please help if you have any ideas of what could be causing my problems. Thank you!

Hi guys!

After using 6500 for quite awhile now & doing multiple shoots with it.. All I can say that 6500 is poor when you're shooting indoor (without any help of any professional lighting) but works best with natural lighting.. so shooting with 6500 indoor would be a challenge. I ditched using any profile pictures settings and use creative style settings to neutral, and I think it works just fine. Most professional videographers I know in wedding industry mostly uses creative styles too than profile pictures with their sony camera. So try to test your camera with creative style and shoot it both outdoors and indoors. I figure out that 6500 looked more grainy when you shoots indoor with minimal lighting, but works just fine when you shoot outdoors.

Hopefully that might help, and I think you guys should take some more time to get to know your camera better! Good luck ?

      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.
