Very grateful for your post and suggestions. ive owned my Sony a6000 since 2019, and absolutely love it, except for one thing. It does not add GPS location to the photo. Do you know if there is a way to do this????
Heya, love the video 👍 Just wanted to comment on your interpretations of the 180 degree rule. The 180 degree rule is not related to the cameras shutter speed or shutter angle (although on a film camera you’d typically set the shutter angle at 180 degrees) but related to two characters or a character and an object. I’m sure you know this better than I do but if a character within your film is engaged with another character or object it is important that the scene (with exception) is filmed from the same side as it started, essentially don’t cross over the actors shoulders, stay on one side of them (ideally shadow side ;). and all will be good. There are many examples of this rule being broken and working well but it has a habit of causing confusion in the audience on positioning within the scene, so stick to the 180 degree rule and have fun filming :)
My Sigma 90mm f2.8 DG has a metal focusing ring as does my Sigma DG 65mm f2 ... both lenses are pin sharp wide open ( Sony a7RIIIa) from infinity to about 2.5 ft ... any closer and sharpness falls-off drastically.
I just bought the graphite a6000 from Amazon and it had only 21 shutter clicks, it looks brand new! I paid $300.85. Now I need to find a good lens to pair with it. What do you suggest?
I hardly use this camera anymore, but I still have it. Something I noticed a while ago is that I still prefer to use my Sony when compared to photographs taken from my phone. A dedicated camera is simply going to be much better than anything that a phone can produce nowadays. This will probably be true for several more years. 24 Megapixels from this Sony has so much more detail and ability to be manipulated in Photoshop or Lightroom when compared to an image that was taken from an iPhone or a Google Pixel, for example. One of my old workflows was to use my Sony for photographing and generating high quality photographs and then loading them onto my phone and editing them on my phone for social media. I could obviously use Photoshop if I needed to.
I have the A6700 with Sigma 56, Sony 16-55 and Sony Fe20mm 1.8. I too thought about moving up to the A7Cr but the price stopped me. I ended up getting a GR3 as an everyday carry and couldn't be happier. They are both great cameras.
I love my a6000. I use vintage lenses with an adapter and shoot manual. Never shoot video so this is perfect for me... just need to take several back-up batteries. Thanks for your video.
Correct. And it is true for certain Picture Profiles. 100+ was just an example and if you look closely - I wrote in the video that S-Log3's (which I use the most) Lower Limit Should be set to Aprox 94+. I also attached a video to Harv's video (ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-5F0is5Ad_Hg.html) where he explains in VERY fine detail how each profile should be exposed. So thank you for your comment, I did my research and hope it wont confuse anyone. If it does, here is the summary based on Harv's tests if someone is curious: Cine1 - 109% Cine2 - 100% Cine3 - 109% Cine4 - 109% S-Cinetone - 109% S-LOG 2 - 106% S-LOG 3 - 94% HLG - 100% HLG1 - 87% HLG2 - 95% HLG3 - 100%
Just remember shutter count, you may just have to replace the shutter. It could happen now, in a year, or a while. Your new to you used camera may have already had the shutter replaced. I hear for sony's you usually have to send it to sony in America, some repair shops won't do it for sony, but that is what I've heard. I was watching so many videos on "Sony a6000 in 2024" etc. Not a single content creator mentioned shutter count. I went out and bought the Sony a6000, the physical condition looked pretty mint, but after 20 shutter releases, the screen showed "camera error: turn off camera then back on" but really you have to take out the battery for the error screen to go away. Anyways, I got my money back thankfully. I came from a Canon apsc dslr. Did not know or even think that shutter count is a thing or a wear and tear thing. For the amount that the new shutter and labor, I would might as well just got a brand new camera. I payed 500usd for the body and kit lens. Then plus new shutter. I could get an a6700 for a few hundred more.. Keh, nor mbp show shutter count in the description, or specs. So be cautious of shutter count and issues when taking the used camera route. I'll buy used electronic lenses all day, but I'd think twice about a used camera body now.
I think no one mentions it because it is kind of irrelevant. Entry level a6000 has an estimated lifetime of 100,000 shutter actuations. I don't think any beginner would reach even 1/3 of that in many years, they most likely would upgrade before that. Shutter is as vulnerable as any other internal part that simply can die in the first week of new camera's use or after 10 years. The difference is that warranty covers the first year(s). I really dont think you should be worrying about the shutter count, except when buying a used camera to determine how much the camera has been put to use (price negotiation tool) :)
I am using A6700 with Viltrox 27mm, Sigma 56mm and Sigma 18-50mm. Been trying to convince myself to upgrade to A7cii for the 33mp and perhaps slightly better low light but I still could not justify the price differences of the body and lenses. I am not a doing this as a professional and mainly shoot family, life, travel, landscape and occasionally night sky.... Looking forward to your comparison video.
Why are you even looking for FF, is there something you are missing out on A6700 in general which is absolutely necessary or is it just the obsession of FF, no offence 😅 kinda in same dilemma
@@masterchaos8671 I know right?…. To me, the only real benefits are 33mp and slightly better low light. That’s all. When it comes to dynamic range I believe it does not really matter as the most demanding scene I do is probably going to need 8-10 stops which the a6700 can easily cover for. What I would lose going A7cii is the 60fps no crop and money for more expensive lenses. These are why I hesitate.
I have A74. Sold my A7iii last week. Also have Nikon Zf. Love all my cams. But still end up with days without carrying a cam, especially if it’s a hike. So if u are not shooting professionally don’t make a move to full frame. You will end up leaving it behind compared to if you have smaller cams.
I have both and can confirm that the A74 has better image quality. Dynamic range is better, low light is better and moire performance night and day difference . Most RU-vidrs did not mention this when reviewing the camera. But take it from a fellow user, there is a clear difference. Having said that, I prefer the size and weight of my A7cii so use it more than the A74.
Pro jobs then A74 of course. But if u are just starting out and don’t have as many Sony lenses the check z6iii. Nikon now has a decent lens line up and tamron also open for z mount.
It’s really nice but I am struggling to make it move in a straight direction, it keeps sliding left or right. My tiny camera also drop the whole thing twice. Any tips?
You will probably be better off with a fast prime lens, especially for apsc cameras which are not as good in low light as full frame unless you have the newest A6700, then you can use the dual native ISO and crank it up to 2500 if shooting slog3 and hopefully you have enough light
