Trading up from APSC: thinking out loud

[Thad E Ginathom]

I switched from the A6000 because it was clear that the capabilities of the camera were keeping me from getting the shots.

My move, a6000 to a6500, made better images easier.

I've gone from a very short stint with an a6000 to the a6400, and now looking like the a6700. I will finally have IBIS! that alone should be worth the upgrade (similar to when you went from a6000-a6500).

Small update: Santa didn't have the a6700 in stock for me, something about me being on the naughty list??? So I used my Christmas bonus from work and bought it myself. Arrives tomorrow

Atta' boy Chris! Good for you!

Lol, mad..!

WELL???????

I hope Chris' wife hasn't thrashed him to within an inch of his life. I would have expected some images from the new kit by now, and he also said he'd get some lens sample threads going.

Poor Chris...

Yep he did make some it known he would be posting up some sample images

Sorry guys, I've been under the weather and dealing with a sick toddler. I have a few sample photos and I managed to record my daughter's "performance" at the day care's Christmas show (where we got sick). It was basically a bunch of toddlers shaking tambourines to Christmas music while the teachers try to keep them from wandering off stage LOL! At least I recorded it in 4k 30fps for the grandparents, though I haven't reviewed it on a larger screen yet.

My initial impressions of the camera are positive: while the images don't offer much more resolution or detail over those from my a6400, the whole camera is quicker in every operation and the autofocus is snappy, really impressive! The battery life is greatly improved. The ergonomics are good: bigger grip makes it easy to hold, but my pinky still hangs off. Going to put the PD micro-clutch on it soon.

I think the only downside is having to learn the new menu system, which is coming along, but not entirely intuitive. I've set up my fn menu, dials, and custom buttons for both stills and video, but I need more time to refine.

I'll try to post a dedicated thread soon.

I'd certainly imagine the AF difference would be very noticeable!

Looks like he is an experienced Fuji shooter. I have just now subscribed to his youtube channel; I like the flow and information offered in his videos. He also produces the kind of pictures I aspire to. Thank you for sharing!

He has been using Fujifilm gear for quite some time now.
He also has built his own 4x5 camera.

I really like my µ43 kit: eM1 v1, 10-300mm range, great image quality. When I found α7r² bodies were going used for eM1.3 prices I bought one, with 28-60 + DT 50-200 + a few choice primes (18+85/2.8, 28+50f/2, 135/3.5) - all small even with adapters.

If you feel your shooting requires f/2.8 zooms, or shoot frequently over 300mm, you will have a relatively large kit in any system.
