Mirrorless Digital Camera Body Only Camera Photo. This is a fantastic jack of all trades camera. In some respects, it may be the best camera under 1,0. In general, it is a nice compact size, but feels well built in the hand. It is fast and responsive, with an amazing autofocus system. Just a few years ago, mirrorless cameras had the true reputation of being significantly behind d. SLRs in auto focus systems. That day is over. The autofocus system, in most respects, surpasses most d. SLR autofocus systems. Being mirrorless, the camera has an exceptional live viewLCD for videos and stills. It has an EVF instead of Optical viewfinder. It may be one of the best EVFs on the market, and is superior to an OVF in most respects. The image quality is very very good. I shoot primarily full frame with the Nikon D7. This is an APS C camera. No, its not as good as full frame, but it seems to be as good as any other APS C camera out there. But there is an important caveat Sonys jpeg processing leaves a lot to be desired. While they may be good enough for a casual shooter, an enthusiast will want to process RAW files to maximize the image quality. There are lots of other nice features you dont necessarily see in most d. SLRs A tilting LCD, well implemented wifi, very good in camera HDR and Panorama modes. Anyway, lets get into specific pros and cons, starting with the negatives Ergonomicdesign negatives The hard eyecup over the EVF. It makes it nearly impossible to use the EVF while wearing glasses. Yes, its a spectacular EVF, but I need to lift up my glasses to use it. The memory card slot, located in the battery compartment, flush and parallel to the battery compartment door. I feel like I am performing surgery every time I need to remove the memory card. It is not easy to slide in and out due to this positioning. Continued lack of an easy way to move the AF point. Its not a touch screen. There is no good thumb stick to move the AF point. You need to use the control dial, and I found myself often accidentally pushing it to the side, to the ISO or drive function, when I was trying to move the AF point. For an enthusiast level camera, there should be simpler and faster methods to move the AF point. Cramped buttons and lack of some direct controls in general. This is largely a tradeoff of being a small camera. But in this price range, when compared to other d. SLRs in this price range, you get dual control dials, you get more direct function buttons. While the camera has many assignable customizable buttons, still not enough for all the functions I need. I shouldnt have to dive into the menu system, for example, to change the focus point mode. Horrible battery life. But this is to be expected for mirrorless, and Sony has given it a small battery to keep the size and weight down. Placement of the movie record button. It is in a very unnatural position, and it forces me to shift the camera just as I start to take video. I rarely use video and will not be commenting much on it, in this review. Menu system. Poorly organized, difficult to find necessary functions at times. But there is a good customizable FN menu, see below. Image quality negatives Poor jpeg compression. Im not sure if its the noise reduction which I reduced to low, the default sharpening, or the jpeg compression scheme, but even at moderate level ISO, my jpegs were looking pretty ugly when examined closely. Inconsistent indoor artificial light AWB. Often in artificial light, my portraits take on very unnatural yellow colors. Be ready to fix white balance in post processing. OperationsAF negatives Difficulty moving AF point, see above. Mediocre buffer in continuous shooting. Very slow write speed, locking up the buffer. Unable to view images while they are being written to the memory card. Now the long list of strengths and pros DesignErgonomics Lots of customizable buttons and a good FN menu. Instead of digging through the entire menu system, it is helpful to assign your most common functions to the FN menu. With a prime lens or kit lens, the entire camera is very compact. Wont fit in a pocket, but wont weigh you down at all. Feels solid, some weather sealing. Except for the difficulty in viewing with glasses, exceptional EVF. A true level display in EVF and LCD. A huge benefit for keeping your image horizon straight. A fairly versatile tilting LCD. Live view on my Nikon d. SLR is so slow, that if I want to take a picture low to the ground, I need to get low to the ground and look through the viewfinder. With the A6. 30. 0, I can just tilt the LCD and lower the camera, while looking at it from above. Dedicated memory recall functions. Greatly improved auto ISO implementation. Not only can you select minimum and maximum ISO, you can also set a minimum shutter speed, or set whether you want the camera to default to slower or faster shutter speeds. This allows the shooter to use Aperture or P priority modes, without fearing that the camera will set the shutter speed too low. Wifi is well implemented, including the ability to add apps to the camera functions. OperationsAF positives The autofocus system is the biggest selling point of this camera. It is simply fantastic. AF points are densely packed over the whole frame. Many different AF modes to choose from, but they all seem to work very well. Even more than great lenses, getting sharp photos is about getting proper focus. This system focuses fast and accurately, anywhere on the screen. If you need to AF on a very small point, you can even change the size of your AF point. I havent done much with the lock on tracking offered by the camera, but I have followed birds in flight with zone AF and with expanded flexible spot AF, and they work very well. Continuing the AF, a HUGE feature for portraits is eye AF. Traditionally, photographers will lock onto the nearest eye with the center AF point, and then re compose the image. With the A6. 30. 0, compose the image, press the eye AF button, and the camera will reliably focus on the nearest eye at a very high percentage hit rate. It makes taking portraits easier, and more accurate than a traditional d. SLR. and even without eye AF, the face detect system is excellent, better than most d. SLRs. Fast 81. The A6. A6. This is basically faster than any other d. SLR for 1,0. 00 or less. But, this 1. 1 fps was rather limited. When using the 1.
