  • @stefpix
    @stefpix Před 4 lety

    I bought 2 A6100s and the 16-55 to replace my A6300 and A7ii. Autofocus is such a game changer, the continuous eye AF is a huge feature upgrade. One big con that does not get mention is the slow shutter speed in P and A modes with Auto ISO. The A6100 in interiors tend to pick 1/30 shutter speeds while keeping the ISO at 100 / 200. It drives me crazy, as P and A modes are what i like to use for street photography when you can transition from full sun to darkness quickly. The A6400 has the minimum shutter speed Auto ISO setting, stripped from the A6100. Yet the A6000 in Auto ISO picks faster shutter speeds and bumps up the ISO, which to me makes more sense. If i want to use slow shutter speeds in the dark, i'd more likely use M, and P, A for more dynamic, unpredictable situations. Now the A6100 is 40% cheaper than the A6400. I was going to get the A6400, if price difference would have been 150 USD, but otherwise I think it's a great buy. I don't use picture profiles for video, but turning down contrast and saturation at -3 produces a pretty flat image with good dynamic range.

Yes, the M6 mark 2 might seem better at first glance but the a6100 I think has AF in 120fps and it can be powered with via USB. If the price difference is not much, the a6100 might be a better buy.

    I just unboxed my a6000 and it looks basically identical to the a6100 in this video, down to the button placement and shiny case. Honestly think they are phoning it in and don't care about their crop sensor cameras anymore. People talk about Canon neglecting their ef-m line but sony isn't much better. Still no a7000 after so many years. Putting a microphone jack necessitates a new release. Addition of mediocre IBIS, new release. 4k that doesn't overheat, yet another new release. Still can't believe they are still using dots to measure resolution (I guess some consumers are still dumb enough to fail for the spec, like dynamic contrast on TVs.) A $50 smartphone is higher res and brighter than the LCD here. And the EVF you put so close to your eye being only SVGA...

For E-mount you could get three options Samyang AF 14mm F2.8 FE, Sony E 16mm F2.8 Pancake and the last one is the best Sigma 16mm F1.4 DC DN lens. In the other hand, the canon m50 has not sense lenses as the Canon EF-M 22mm f2 STM equivalent to 35,2mm, this has not sense, the other option is to use ef-s lenses in ef-m mount. But, you need to buy an adapter. The worst Option, AF doesn`t work as the EF-m Lenses using EF-s lenses...

    Thanks again, Gordon! Although I already know the differences between the 3 models, it's still nice to hear it from you!
    In a nutshell here is the main differnece between the three in ascending comparison:
    A6100 vs a6400- Low rez EVF, non magnesium body, not weather sealed, no profiles in video (slog), less buttons. Price Difference is U$150
    A6400 vs A6600 - No eye focus in video, non magnesium body, IBIS, no audio out. Price difference is U$500
    A6600 - NO flash hot shoe. larger grip due to the fz100 battery.
    The a6600 is overpriced in my opinion. at U$500 more vs the a6400. If it were U$1,200, more will bite. But it will hit that price maybe in 2-2.5 years. It may drop U$100 on the first year. The way I look at it, Sony may want to really push people to the a6400. This is not a new pricing strategy. But it is patently obvious in this case.
    Personally, I don't think that the a6600's IBIS is good enough, especially for video. For photos, it helps a bit. But you still need the lens to have OSS on the lens for it to be a bit useful in video. This shows that the a6600 is still using the old a6500 IBIS tech. To my eyes, I'd gravitate to the a6400 as the IBIS on the a6500/a6600 is virtually useless. And you are right, it would be better to get a gimbal for that U$500 difference. There is also the cheaper Zhiyun crane M2 for U$350 if you just use it with light lenses (like the kit lens).
    The a6100 will sell well. This is most true that Canon basically has nothing to front that is as good in performance. Nikon, by default that it has no MILC and its DSLRs are not really making any impact, is absent. Fuji also has nothing in that price range . Think of an a cheaper XT-30. Maybe they can come up with something to match the a6100.
    In essence, the a6100 will sell a lot and the a6400 will be 2nd place. We shall know the outcome of this in the 1st Quarter FS in 2020.
    Just a question for you, Gordon if you will do a comprehensive test (to this)
    - how long is the battery life in 4k-30p shooting?

    I'm switching from Nikon D3300 + 35mm F1.8 to Sony a6100 + Sigma 30mm F1.4.
    I'd like to do do street photography, portraits and architecture photography, but I also need flippy screen and reliable autofocus to make videos for my CZcams channels. Canon EF-M has no growing possibilities to full-frame and Nikon Z50 is 150/200€ more expensive, has lower resolution and older sensor, worse autofocus and a flip-down screen that is useless on a tripod. Moreover there's no Sigma 30mm F1.4-alike lens on Z mount, while APS-C lens selection on Sony looks better. I also thought about switching to Fuji, but the X-T200 costs as much as an X-T30 here in Italy, they have less third-party lenses and their good ones are quite expensive. Moreover, as it is with Canon EF-M, there's no full-frame growing future here.
    Anyway, I know I'm gonna miss the handling and solidity of my trusty Nikon D3300, but do you think I made the right choice?
