i think he set the AFmode (by default from sony) to AF-C... thats when the sony fully uses the 192(or something, i never bother to remember the full spec) af point... so when u lock on subject (face detection) recompose, it will jump to focus on other things.... and i think A6000 was the first E mount with AF-C?

btw, he needs the face detection to work, so the smoothskin would work. 

everyone, if anyone go to sony centre mid valley, never refer to the salesperson named brandan ng. he's really rude person

But... Sony throw in XAVCS on that (although I not sure when only I'll shoot video with the camera , see forums many say that codec is far superior. Not bad to have mah)

No fast prime play maybe settle for manual focus primes. Should be quite fun to use with peaking.

Seriously? I thought it's completely the same? Same sensor thus same pixel focus thingy, same number of AF points also.

who cares about video codec when choosing entry level or semi-pro level mirrorless camera when u more serious on photography than videography? furthermore, sony engineer wouldn't simply made A6000 image sensor for A5100, nor marketing suggest A5100 100% inherit A6000's performance. if really does, it will spoil A6000's market. if u really serious on video quality, go for A7S

its the same sensor, but build differently for different market mass.

grab the one with EVF, u never know how useful that EVF is when u are sniping chicks... review in EVF then in LCD where the whole public looking at you.

RM 1050, u can try nego with babyploy86 
35mm 1.8 wide open test shot 

I don't have 50mm to compare so can't tell u that. Tell me if u want pixel peeping, I can upload the ori file for u,this shot is wide open .

Street price now for 35mm is 1050, while for 50mm is 750. Have u tried 50mm lens before? It is too "close" for me, so I never consider it.

Any brand recommend that fall in my budget rm 300?

So how's the i40 treating you so far? Got any HSS pics?

After I get my Sammie 2/12, the i40 should be my next target (provided the F32M doesn't pull any interesting hidden features up its sleeve).

After that can rest for a while from buying stuff lol.

oh no no dear uraki, u got confused.....

when Flash support HSS, it will sync to the camera max shutter speed.
HSS=yes, camera max shutter = supported. 1/4000 for common body, and 1/8000 for pro body. (generalization)

HSS=No, Camera max syncspeed = 1/160 or 1/200 (1/250)

Hope this explains HSS better. Note that the animation to the end should've pulsed the flash so you know it's NOT staying on throughout the exposure but strobing.

hi. a newbie here. my bf tells me of a serious mirrorless user shall go for A6000. any A6000 user here? i wish to gather some review from u all guys

You're in an Sony thread. Of course we'll say the A6k is good lol.

The truth is, it depends. If you want a easy to use, small-ish camera with loads of features and is (relatively) cheap, then the A6k is great. Unfortunately, the "small-sized" lens choices (the ones made for the APS-C A6k) is kinda sorta limited a bit, and the A7-sized ones (FF) can be HUGE.

If you want an even smaller camera, even MORE lenses to choose from and even better manual controls (vs the A6k) you might want to look at Olympus and the OMD system. The OMD E-M10 is well priced against the A6k. That said, the OMD has a *smaller* sensor compared to the A6k, so less (theoretical) image quality on the OMD.

Also, check out the Fuji line, especially the X-E1 or E2. They are *considerably* more expensive, but Fuji *does* have better lenses, better manual controls and better high ISO performance (at the cost of slower AF and crap movies, however). Also, the Fujis and their lenses are quite huge.

My advice, go to a shop that has *all* these cameras, test them out and choose the one that feels best for you. YL Camera in Jaya33 or Plaza Pudu is a good place to do this.

That's what I did, and I ended up with the A6k.

Did any1 able to charge yout a6k with powerbank or laptop/desktop USB?

I am using the Sony cable and it start charge, with the orange light, and few secs later.... it disappeared.

and after a while i check the percentage... it is the same while my powerbank's percentage reduced...

Thanks!

The first pict was invited shoot. The second and third was taken at a small event last Sunday, at Jaya Mall.
There was folks using reflector, so I make use of it and fire my flash (on camera) with diffuser (stofen) towards it. Not best method, still learning. Cant say teach or otherwise :v The area we shoot has plenty of natural light.
Post processing for the last one, i reduced saturation of the girl behind.
All shot with a6000 + Nikkor 50mm f/1.4 D
