Hanriverprod Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 Sony Alpha Rumors and another 'Japanese site' Nokishita it will include IBIS. It'd be nice if no more overheating and articulated touchscreen. lwestfall 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronFilm Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 If it keeps to the launch price of the a6300, has IBIS, touchscreen, and no overheating, then this likely will be the camera for me in 2017. (throw in a headphone jack please as a sweetener) I am however surprised at how fast the release cycle has been for the latest a6x00 series, I was truly expecting an a5100 successor to come along first.

BasiliskFilm Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 It wouldn't be too complicated to put the A6300 sensor in an A7II body surely? For a video/pro APS-C camera it would solve some of the heat issues, and improve the usablity, without having to create a whole new form factor.

Inazuma Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 IBIS, better 1080p, reduce 4k rolling shutter and I'm sold. I can deal with the other quirks for the nice IQ and AF. Phil A 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JurijTurnsek Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 IBIS means a substantial body size increase, so this body cannot replace the A6300 - it would be another choice in the lineup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Shasha Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 Just bought an A6300. This is bullshit from Sony if true. A6300 has barely been on the market for 8-months. Guess it'll be priced around X-T2 pricing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimmy Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 Sony have and always will have ridiculous product cycles, this is their game.... To get angry about it is futile, as whichever Sony camera you purchased would have done the same to the previous camera. It seems only the CineAlta line is protected from this Marco Tecno and IronFilm 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinegain Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 Yeah, I was so stoked for the A6300 when it was announced. Went and got the conversion kit to E-mount for the Veydras. And then... Sony happened. They always deliver on paper... and then in practice... grmpf. Between the overheating, rolling shutter, color channel clipping and out of camera colors and lack of fully articulated touchscreen and headphone jack... maybe meh-ish batterylife... Why don't they indeed take the A7-body style and just throw in an APS-C sensor? The thing that's really going to make the difference is the lenses you're going to throw in front anyways, so why not up the body in terms of ergonomics, features and have solid heat disappation, room for a bigger battery, proper audio interface, maybe even dual card slot, vari-angle touchscreen... yeah, basically more like an APS-C Olympus OM-D E-M1 Mark II what I'm concerned! Actually, exactly that! If it wasn't for the up in sensor performance (mostly noise profile), better selection of wide angle lenses/easier to get shallow depth of field (and being close to S35 right of the bat) and the possibility to boost towards fullframe... I would've happily kept true to the M4/3 format. But I would like to dial in 3200 ISO without worrying too much, use lenses and have less of a crop factor and the ability to boost towards fullframe (that is why I don't need fullframe cameras, which are chunky and expensive cameras (some with 4K crop!) and the beauty of APS-C is that you can also use some more compact APS-C lenses, although Sony hasn't done enough with that themselves I think). Neways. Probably not a good idea to get your hopes up for this one... but maybe, just maybe, they've learned something over the course of this year? I'll stay tuned! bamigoreng, Mattias Burling and sudopera 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JurijTurnsek Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 Most of you here make your living with this tech, so for you it is only a tool. You buy a new one, when you current one does cut it for the job. AFAIK none of you even bought or kept the A6300, so why the outrage? Frequent releases are always better. The best strategy would be to simply release new models each year around the same time like smartphone flagships, so you would know when to hold off the purchase before new tech is announced. dafreaking and MattH 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never heard of a Canon that didn't deliver in practice what they promised on paper. But the exact opposite can be said about pretty much every single Sony (outside cine alta). In fact, Sony is the only brand I can think of that never lives up to its hype. Pretty unique. Panasonic, Canon, Nikon, Fuji, Olympus, etc. Their stuff works as planned or have bugs that gets sorted out. Sony sell flat out broken cameras as if they where ok. My prediction is the same as I had about the rx100iv and a6300. Great specs, crap camera. But thats just me. I wont judge it until Ive tested it my self. But statistically it will suck ass Ehetyz, Mat Mayer and yiomo 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hanriverprod Posted October 6, 2016 Author Share Posted October 6, 2016 That rumors site is saying it will be announced in the next few days and a9 in early 2017. They seem pretty confident. Crazy I was just considering buying the new a6300 a few months back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivanhurba Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 I would have been happy before, but ergonomics and reliability are important and Sony is not big on them. The moment I saw the E-M1 MKII I fell in love with it. The only missing thing on the pana-oly is a 17 1.2 lens, but I can always speedboost my canon 24 1.4. I don't know how the a6300 sales have been but I know people, me included who passed the moment overheating made its ugly appearance and the IBIS was missing. Good times and lots of great gear to choose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geoff CB Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 All they need is faster readout 4K and no overheating. That's it. The RS on the current camera destroys it for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
