hotshoe is not important for me,will never buy flash.
touch screen important cause i read lots of review complaining A6000 hard to set focus point (in 179 point) and wifi/nfc connection need password, need to scroll till u die...
Selfie lcd - use hp need few steps to connect n load vs just flip the screen, and im a solo backpacker,so selfie lcd kind of important for me...

So in the end , EVF vs Touchscreen+Selfie LCD, im more towards touchscreen and fully circulated screen

but A5100 start selling in mid September, dont know when wil reach malaysia and i need it before end of september... so in the end i will buy A6000 i guess 

ed, only us who come from A-mount will appreciate external flash. To us, EVF and hotshoe come 1st. To them as come from p&s, they will want the touchscreen, we would prefer direct straight forward buttons or dials for instant access to fucntions. Dont push them too hard.

Hi, going completely out of topic, though related to us all. What camera bag would you recommend for 2 A7 bodies, about 4 lenses and other items like tripod, flash, batteries, charger etc? How much would you budget for safeguarding your heavy investment against the dangers of the world?

hello guys...i wanted to ask opinion regarding Sony A6000..i planning to try Mitakon 50mm f0.95 on it to making a videography..is it ok?
before the idea came,i was planning to take Canon 70D..can you give me a little idea and advice?thank you

Thanks for the reply. Lenses? Well, I already sold away my Alpha stuff actually (including a 28-135 F4-4.5 Minolta Maxxum I very very dearly miss and would be SO KILLER on an A7) so the only lenses I have left are legacy Nikon AIS stuff and Minolta MF lenses.

As for the A77, I've decided to forgo the big guns this time around - a more compact camera would fit my current needs better IMHO.

Hmm, so an A6000 then. Is it so much an improvement over the older Nex 6?

Hey guys! I'm kinda stuck making a decision, and thought I'd see if anyone here can offer some insight =)
I own an NEX-6 and I'm considering buying a spare battery, but an original battery is 200++ =(
Do third-party batteries work fine? Is there any option to charge the batteries outside the camera? Would love suggestions/recommendations =)

im luckier than you then,  i bought 2 3rd party battery for more than 3 years (pisen and octopus), both working great until now, almost same like original battery 

Thanks dude!
To A6k users, mind sharing your experience on it's low light high ISO performance?

I'm actually planning to downgrade (again) after finishing up all my responsibilities that would be better done with my full frame d600 + 35 1.4 ART currently and I was thinking of getting a combo that will save me some money. I realized that I was spending far too much money on a hobby that I will probably not have alot of time for as I grow older.

I know that a Fuji system will probably have better ISO performance (I used to own a XT1 + 23mm 1.4 and 56mm 1.2 at one point, got it at a crazy good price), but after trying out many fuji's, I never grew to like the image quality it produced. I'm pretty sure I'm quite alone in saying this, but I feel like fuji pictures (esp their raw files) tend to be more mushy. After comparing flickr pictures (no pixel peeping though) of the CZ 24mm 1.8 and the fuji 23mm 1.4, I'm pretty sure that I personally prefer the pictures produced by the CZ.

With that being said, I'm also considering a second hand a7 and 35mm f28 combo; which is basically a full frame version of a6k and the 24mm 1.8. My big question is this:

How much advantage does the full frame a7 sensor have over the a6k; no doubt a big advantage, but how much? The thing is that because 1.8 on the a6k will give me the DoF equivalent of the 35mm f2.8 on the a7, BUT will let in more light (nearly one stop worth of extra light?). So I was thinking if this would be a good trade off since lets say that the ISO 6400 of the A7 is equivalent to ISO 3200 on the a6k, then it would be a good trade off (the only advantage the a7 has now then, would be the extra dynamic range), but I get to save at least RM1.5k going for the a6k.

And I only plan to use one lens most of the time (which is a 35mm equivalent)...

Any thoughts?

The XE2/XT1 can be even mushier than the XE1 actually - it applies NR to RAWs and there's no way to turn it off lol. Google "XE2 plastic skin" and you'll know what I mean.

Bought my a6000 last week.
Love it

No tripod, so try the multi  frame noise reduction.

im planning to get a external flashlite for my A6000, F20M at Rm499.
the price is fine for me, but i seldom use, so if possible, i want something more cheaper.

how about this model? Metz 24? Selling at Rm299, and it has TTL feature.

i just worried that 3rd party TTL is not accurate. later ended up using manual 

Metz to me is the best and most reliable 3rd party flash. They're ADI/TTL is just as accurate as Sony's. YongNuo/Nissin/Octopus/Sunpak/etc I don't wanna comment.

Im not really sure about the hotshoe, but if I were to guess, it'll be the old Sony hotshoe. Believe me or not, I actually prefer the old hotshoe over the new ISO hotshoe. One reason only. Because the old one 'clicks' in, unlike the ISO which you have to turn turn turn for it to lock. Not sure if you understand what Im trying to say or not.

hello camera pros, any of you know how much it would cost to repair a broken NEX 5N screen? I dropped my camera on the floor (ouch!!) and the screen went blank, it's not working anymore, but the camera is still able to capture photos.
I just wanna know if I should get it repaired or buy a new camera.

(sorry I'm just a girl who loves my sony nex but doesn't know much about cameras and stuff. forgive me if I asked any stupid questions.)
