Where To Buy Sony Nex 6

NOTE: For me, shooting with the new 35 1.8 was a mixed bag. When shooting with the 35 I had some front focus issues at times but mostly in dark lighting. A few shots would be just a little bit off when shooting wide open at night. For comparison the Sony RX1 was faster for me in AF in every situation over the NEX-6 and 35 1.8 lens. The 10-18 focused nice and fast (but wide angles usually do) and the 16-50 was very fast with Phase Detect enabled. Also seemed more accurate. The 35 1.8 gave me a few misses as the camera does not focus well when it has no contrast to grab on to. But it does focus! Just at times it can be frustrating when it keeps missing (reminded me a little of the Fuji 35 1.4 on the X-Pro 1 but a little faster). The NEX series has a way of guessing where focus should be when it can not find it during low light. When this happens you will see a big green square on the LCD. That is when you know your shot may not be in focus. The NEX-7 did this as well as does most of the Sony digital camera line.

I really enjoyed this review, thanks!This camera ticks more boxes for me than any other option for a lightweight camera with an integrated EVF/focus peaking and manual lenses.I have been looking everywhere to get some confirmation of the compatibility of this lens with an M-adapter and the Zeiss Biogon series (especially the 35/2). Does anyone know if there are color-shifts or corner smearing? I would hope it performs as good or better than the 5n.

The NEX-6 is as fast as the world you're trying to capture. Sony's advanced Fast Hybrid AF* combines two technologies for outstanding performance: Phase detection autofocus for quick response that is ideal when tracking fast-moving subjects and contrast-detection autofocus for added precision. It's a perfect match that delivers fast, precise, focusing anywhere and everywhere.

With a more workman-like appearance, the Sony NEX-6 has less glitz and more down-home practicality than the NEX-7. It isn't homely, but it's not headed out for dinner and dancing in the city. Sony softened the corners and spatter-painted the surfaces. All the major features are right where you'd expect them, though: the infrared remote port on the grip, a good feel to the grip, an AF-assist lamp, lens release button where it should be, left and right microphone holes flanking the lens, and that relatively large APS-C sensor.

On still subjects, I found the Sony NEX-6's AF to be both quick and decisive. After my second visit to the Bryant Park rink, I walked three blocks to Grand Central Station where I spotted a young soldier standing with a duffel bag and reading a map, clearly on his first visit to New York. These are the kinds of shots I'm by far the most interested in getting these days, and they require a fast and sure camera. The NEX-6 quickly acquired focus on the soldier in the very dim light, letting me stop, shoot and move on in the space of about a second or two. I made many similar street-style shots in low light, and the camera's AF system worked well nearly every time.

I tested Handheld Twilight mode one evening in my neighborhood, capturing evocative shots of the streetlights and restaurants of Second Avenue. This feature, too, works almost magically, producing colorful, sharp handheld images of night scenes -- a great boon for a guy like me, who wants to leave his tripod in the closet where it belongs.

You may have already made your decision about which camera suits better for your needs and your budget so far, but in case you wonder how we rated Sony NEX-6 and Panasonic GX7, below you can find their scores in five different aspects.Our Decision Algorithm dynamically scores cameras using 69 different specs, current price and DxO Mark scores (where possible) in order to make a more objective and consistent comparison.

NEX-6 has a built-in Electronic viewfinder, making it easier to shoot in direct sunlight and in other situations where it might be difficult to view the LCD monitor. The viewfinder has a resolution of 2,359kdots and coverage of 100%. 100% coverage ensures that what you see in the viewfinder while shooting matches exactly what you will get later in your image, helping accurate framing your shots and minimizes the need for cropping images later. The magnification ratio of the viewfinder is 0.73x (35mm equivalent).

One other change from the 7: the record video button has been moved from a position where you might accidentally trigger it to one that is decidedly difficult to mis-trigger (you can also turn the button off in the menus). It does seem as if Sony is hearing common user complaints and trying to address them as they update the models.

In very low light or with non-contrasty subjects, the focus system still struggles and searches more. ISO 6400 and f/3.5 at 1/100 seems to be about a good breaking point for where I see a difference in focus performance. Down to that light level and the focus is snappy, below that and the focus system will sometimes do a bit of that in/out hunt before settling on the subject.

So we're really at the point where it comes to this: 16mp sensor for US$850 (body only) or 24mp sensor for US$1000 (body only). If you value WiFi or believe that Sony will ever get around to developing useful applications, then you award a bonus point or two to the NEX-6, but I think most people are going to decide on sensor size versus price. Simple answer: there aren't enough strong, fast lenses to justify the 24mp sensor at the moment. Basically the expensive Zeiss 24mm f/1.8, the 35mm f/1.8, and the 50mm f/1.8 (the 30mm f/3.5 macro also is quite good, but that's more of a speciality lens), plus the two Sigma lenses (19mm and 30mm f/2.8). So if you like primes, the NEX-7 will look better to you in terms of image quality. But if you like zooms, especially the kit zooms (18-55mm, or the new 16-50mm), the optics are better matched to the 16mp NEX-6, I think. Indeed, the NEX-6 with the collapsing 16-50mm is a pretty darned good jacket pocket camera.

Maybe you can tell me. Nowhere can I find a list of ff cameras that would support a fully electronic shutter, I want to find some kind of inexpensive solution, with the ability not to waste the shutter resource. Thanks in advance for your reply

I also met a lot of reviews. Of the most suffering components - the shutter mechanism (runs on average 50k frames), the mode dial (it can turn on) and the unreliable way of attaching the corrective lens to the EVF - can peel off from the mechanism and dangle back and forth inside. This is not counting the peeling enlightenment on the display, but as I understand it, this is the problem of all nexes, where the owners at one time did not bother with the sticker of a protective film.

And the relevance of nex6, if we compare it with fuj, dimmed a year later, in 2013, with the release of x-e2. Which later, by the way, added a completely electronic shutter, with firmware)) This is where the concern for users is, sleep would have to learn)))

As a newbie, my skills are not up to building my own device (as some seem to suggest). I looked briefly at the MaxStone, but it is not available anywhere I checked and may not be the best solution anyway.

Hi, I've been shooting with a Nex 5N all this time and as far as I'm aware the Nex3N is the only camera in the Nex series that can handle an intervalometer via it'a multi port. All the others in the Nex range require an IR remote that has intervalmeter functionality which these days are hard to come by. As above the Tempus and anothet one which I cant remeber the name of where the only ones I am aware of that were commercially sold. As Bobzec said you are better off trying to get a second hand A5000 or A6000 or if you have the cash an A7s. Something to note about the A5000 is that people think that you can't turn off Long exposure noise reduction but that is not the case.I recently bought a second hand A6000 and it was $330 Aus dollars. You can use your existing lens with it.With regards to my Nex5n I was shooting manually using an IR remote but it meant spending the whole night outside.This picture was shot over multiple nights using my Nex5N. The Nex range are good cameras. Just annoying about the intervalometer situation. _source=app

The downside to the IR remotes and DIY IR Blaster is that the IR sensor on the front of the camera needs to be in the line of sight of your LED. It means you'll have to put the remote in front of the camera (perhaps on a chair or another tripod). Another option could potentially be to buy an AUX cable extender and then tape/vecro the LED to the front of the camera. Your Android device could then be placed/controlled from anywhere convenient. 041b061a72
