@joethepro I believe the adapter you're describing is the sony LA-EA series of adapters.

@Vitaliy_Kiselev The first is not a serious issue to you because you apparently do not do bulb astrophotography. To those that do that type of photography it is a massive issue if over half of the stars in your shot are removed by over-zealous image processing, and some of the ones that are left have dark spots in the center. How can you say that is not an issue with a straight face? But you are correct that it does not directly name the a6000, Ill move it.

Second is huge problem. I dont understand your logic. Ive seen this on my a6000 as well, where the batery level drops massively overnight while it is off. This is terrible, and while it could be fixed with new firmware, it shouldnt have been an issue in the first place, and should not have lasted this long without any resolution.

Some serious issues with Sony mirrorless cameras and the a6000 in particular that have been reported on the Sony community forums. No response yet from Sony on these issues.

A7/A7S/A7R (possibly APS-c models as well which use similar image processing) - Image processing is eating stars in in-camera noise reduction in bulb mode - moved to A7 thread.

a6000 - EVF/Wifi/NFC draining power even when camera is off.

I have had my A6000 for a month and noticed battery drain even when powered off from 100% to 85% in less than 12 hours. I tried airplane mode to shutdown wifi and though this help reduce the power drain by about 5% it did not eliminate it. Then I read a post by a fellow with the same problem who also owned an A5000. He experimented with swapping batteries but the A6000 still drained to 85%. The A5000 did not. The main difference between these two models is that the A6000 has the EVF eyepiece. It appears that the EVF proximity sensor will drain battery power even when the camera itself is powered off. I isolated the camera so nothing was near the sensor and overnight drain was reduced. My next step was to switch from auto to monitor only setting in FINDER/MONItOR before power off. IT WORKED. 0% BATTERY DRAIN OVERNIGHT WITH POWER SWITCHED OFF. Summary: To conserve battery, (1) leave the camera with airplane mode on unless you need wifi and (2) before switch the power off set FINDER/MONItOR from auto to moniter only to turn off the EVF proximity switch. Please fix these in firmware if possible Sony. Clearly neither of these features needs to remain active draining battery power if the a 6000 camera is powered off . It would make this amazing camera even better.

One good thing Ive seen so far is the highlight recovery is pretty awesome for an 8 bit codec.

Does the high iso noise reduction menu setting only apply to jpgs, or does it also apply to videos? Shame there arent individual NR settings for the profiles like so many other cameras.

EDIT: Sony support confirmed that noise reduction settings do not apply to video. I assume it defaults to "ON"? Shame. Really wish I had known this before purchasing. Are all sony cameras like this? All of the grain detail is just smeared away, med/high iso detail is softer than my GH3. Unbelievable. I dont understand that choice of configuration at all.

Also, is there a screen/viewfinder setting for turning on/off the shutter speed preview like the GH cameras have?

The bodycap is very loose on my a6000, is this the case with all of them? Im wondering if I should get another one that might fit tighter.

This seems a little contradictory... what do you mean you never used it again but can im import directly to resolve? Is there a resolve update which accepts MTS or something?

With the a5100 I always use the Xavc s format for video. The Mts was used by the Hx9v.

Hm, Im on PC so that may not help.

I've used it with my Sony Hx9v that use that kind of video container, but with my a5100 (sister of the a6000) I've never used it again: now I can import directly into FCPX, Resolve or Premiere without issues.

This seems a little contradictory... what do you mean you never used it again but can import directly to resolve? Is there a resolve update which accepts MTS or something?

I thought that Rocky Mountains Movie Converter would be able to convert mts files, but apparently not. Shame. 5dtorgb screws up the luminance ranges. Whats a good free alternative that could give me a good prores conversion?

What is the difference between the model numbers?

ILCE6000, ILCE6000/B, ILCE6000/S, ILCE6000L, ILCE6000L/B, ILCE6000L/S....

I found a ...6000/B on ebay, but I want to make sure Im getting the US version.

EDIT: Talked to sony rep, the /B stands for body only, L/B stands for lens + body, S stands for silver.

@joethepro You can shoot very flat with Portrait, -3,-1,-3 and DRO 5. Not as flat as S Log2, but fine for a camera like this, and easier to grade. There's also an app called Live View Grading that will go even flatter, bit tends to give a warm look.

Probably the biggest reason I can't switch to Fuji. Love its photo image quality and lens selection, but its video looks like they grafted a webcam onto the camera...
