Your cosplay gallery is great! Just a little too overexpose and too white for some pics. If the outdoor sun is too bright, use a flashlight (controlled, softbox of course) and high shutter speed.

I think because ts may have misunderstood 1670 to 2470. Otherwise why choose 2470 FF lens on a apsc when there is 1670?

Not sure if your intention is to have dynamic lighting to create shadow. If so, perhaps add reflector or soft lighting on her right side to create highlights so you can see the outline of her right portion.

Lighting with dynamic shadow work on certain scene .......not so much for cute theme imo, haha.

Plus kit lens right? Cause i remember a6000 body only rm1900 and 35mm around rm1000+ (normally).

I remember somewhere one place offer rm1100 for 35mm.....unless i mistaken 50mm with 35mm. I think you should go survey more before buying. In fact why not up a bit and go for sigma 30mm 1.4.

Well guess i must have mistook 50mm with 35mm then. Then again, there can be big price difference of up to rm200 if you do some digging on (new) lens prices around retailers and a bit of haggling.

Don't think A7RIII going to come so soon with the Jap earthquake. But if you primarily want 4k, a6300 will be more than enough. Turns out, 4k FF img quality on A7RII is worse than Super 35mm mode which is almost equivalent to APSC size, some pixel technical reason. Some even suggested if you own A7RII, you might want to just switch to Super 35mm and use APSC lens instead. BUT, 4k in FF mode does have benefit in bokehness and wider shot but could be countered with equivalent lens on APSC cam.

Do realise bumping up to a6000 alone wont be much better than rx100. You need to pair it up with good lens, which is the appeal of a6000 compare to rx100. And good lens dont come cheap unless you looking for fixed focal primes like 35mm or 50mm which has ois. Otherwise rx100mk3 maybe a better alternative.

Before buying, maybe study a little the difference between apsc and FF, pros and cons before you make decision. There are plenty youtube video out there.

That is just one part of it. Apsc or smaller sensor has some advantages over FF as well aside from physical size.

Apsc size sensor allows for better AF burst shots than FF cause the shutter is easier to design which is why a6300, 7dmk2 and d500 are apsc size are preferred over FF for sports.

Secondly, because of higher megapixel cramp into smaller sensor, apsc is better than ff with same mp when taking wildlife pic at distance. Also cause of crop it offer more tele zoom without compromising sharpness.

Third, opposite of bokeh, smaller sensor allows wider dof so you can capture more stuff in focus while maintaining bigger aperture.

And of course the size and cheaper lens option comes into play.

Thats why dont always just think bigger is better but also what you want to do with your cam.

Lens cost is debatable depending on the category. Canon EF 50mm 1.8 for FF only RM500+ (or cheaper), whereas sony's equiv. focal lens, either 35mm 1.8 or 30mm 1.4 by sigma cost RM1000+ (even with discount). Same can be said with m43 lens.

Still won't beat FF lens though. f1.4 x 1.6 crop factor = f2.24 <--doesn't translate to amount of light but bokeh equivalent when fov is the same, still lose out to 50mm f1.8 FF (discounting the bokeh look). But close enough. You won't see many f1.4 lens on the cheap.

Maybe, maybe not. Who knows? The earthquake already pushes back several new camera back so don't hope for it.

a6000 is plenty good enough unless you really need the 4k video on a6300. Besides, I imagine the true successor to a6000 won't be cheaper than the current model. Unless Sony decide to make silly decision and introduce a6100 or a6200.

Overall go for 24-70mm f4. If you find yourself shooting more at night without tripod, go for 28mm f2.
