  • Has there been any indication as to the minimum ISO available for slog use?

  • @IronFilm thanks for the tip! yes, I saw some posts on that site you mentioned about the Commlite Nikon F to Sony E (w/autofocus!!!) adapter and I see that there have been a number of these for sale, and that they sell out quickly. No production during the Chinese new year means we might not see any stock for a weeks. I'll keep an eye out. Thanks!

  • Let's just leave this non existing GH5 alone :-) He'll sit quietly in the dark corner of your imagination, and will vanish completely not leaving even a trace as you will see real GH5 and hear it's price.

  • @joethepro & kurth: thanks for the advice and clarification. I was thinking that the GH5 would be announced soon and perhaps available within some reasonable period of time. Since I already have the GH4 & BMPCC, with a number of the lenses, it makes more sense to just enjoy what I have and wait to see about the rumored GH5. Although the body of the 6300 is affordable, none of my lenses are compatible.

  • yeah really. Settle down, people. It will have severe lacks.

  • @kurth No I agree, I was just saying not to worry about the gh5 precisely because it hasnt even been announced yet and we dont know if it will exist. So if @crowbar was trying to make a decision between the 2, I said to go with the a6300 and sell it later if you find a better cam.

  • @joethepro....I guess I don't get comparing cameras that haven't even been rumored to be released ! The gh5....if there actually is a gh5 in someones future...could be light years away . In fact ....before the gh5 could arrive, panasonic ( and , or sony ) could declare bankruptcy , or wwIII could start ! Now, I can see comparing the a6300 to the gh4...when and after the a6300 is actually released....but not before ...even then. None of the a6300 hand-on'ers had a camera with the final firmware, if memory serves me right...so my experience is....wait for reviews of the released camera, at the very least. With all the expectations, we shouldn't have to wait too long after march 10th.

    ps....look what happened to the fs5...as an example

  • @crowbar The a6300 will be here in march, and the GH5 is probably 12+ months away at least (guessing). Just get the sony and sell it later if you want the gh5.

  • @crowbar ....? Que.....what gh5 ? Did I miss something ?

  • @CFreak check out the Sony Alpha Rumors blog, they've covered a couple of the Nikon adapters

  • Wondering how this camera will compare with the upcoming GH5 in low light. Other than the features/price value, the 120 fps/1080p & superior continuous auto focus are the most compelling features for me but yea no touch screen for easy focus pulls is a bummer. I'd consider purchasing the A6300 for use with a G Master lens but then without stablization in camera or lens, I'm not very motivated.

  • @joethepro The colors are about what I'd expect from Sony and are about as good or bad as the LUT I'm using will allow. Since it's slog, the colors right out of the camera are terrible and washed out, but that's sort of to be expected. :)

  • @eatstoomuchjam Do the colors look ok at that ISO on the RX100 IV? Id imagine that things would start to degrade a bit due to noise, but hopefully the a6300 is clean enough to have some usable ISO headroom.

  • @joethepro slog2 on the RX100 IV is at a base ISO of 1600 and looks pretty clean in decent lighting on that camera. Since the sensor on the A6300 is bigger, I'd imagine that 1600-3200 will be just fine.

  • Looking just at the specs - is there any reason to choose the a7rII over this except the 5-axis stabilisation?

    some ;-)

    1) Full frame 2) professional 3) still camera 4) 42MP 5) 5-Axis stabilisation.

  • Looking just at the specs - is there any reason to choose the a7rII over this except the 5-axis stabilisation?

  • Im a little concerned about slog on this camera. If the min ISO is still 1600, we are going to have some serious noise issues unless they have turned this into a mini A7rii. ISO 1600 was starting to get noisy on the a6000 in a normal profile.

  • @IronFilm can you point to one that's in production? I looked the other day and couldn't find one available to purchase. I think Commlite had some issues and somewhere on a blog I read they emailed a customer and said their Nikon F to NEX Emount adapter with AF would ship in mid January. I don't see them for sale anywhere.

  • Contax G and the Techarte adapter should be interesting then. Even the 28mm might work on APS-C (soft corners on FF).

  • I have a Commlite EF to NEX smart adapter that works horribly on the a6000. Definitely hoping it works better on the a6300.

  • @bozfx, and hopefully Nikon lenses too.... autofocus adapters for Nikon to E mount have arrived already!:-D
