Sony A6000 gets zebra, 16:9 screen and clean HDMI output

Well the a6000 paired with a ninja 2 recorder can be a nice little interview camera.

I always wonder when will Panasonic or Sony make economic external recorder? If they want to fulfill or create the need of shooting RAW, they should know it is their responsibility to make the genuine peripheral equipment. They know the codec best.

I just have a non beta version arrived. After a bit fiddling I would like to comment on a few little things I miss and couldn't find in the reviews:

- I hate the app system for WIFI remote control. why not just selecting wifi on in the menu and the smartphone can start to control

- The wifi control app has only ultra basic control. No manual exposure or video control. Hope this can be fixed soon over software updates. I was hoping to especially use this a lot for video purposes :-/

- It makes quite a shutter noise when picture taking

- When I switch the camera from pal to ntsc mode the camera always starts up with a warning that it is set in ntsc. Huge delay :-/ - the little lanyard hooks actually rattle a bit, metal on metal is not that discreet. I will try to make a solution to this myself I think...

- the charging over usb is only at 0.5A according to the charging block. Really slow. Compare this to the 2.4A of a modern smartphone recharging over micro USB... Still have to test if it would go faster with smartphone cable/block.

- peaking goes only for vertical lines in focus, almost not for horizontal ones...

What do you chaps think of this?

There is already a bigger thread with more personal experiences :) '?do=embed' frameborder='0' data-embedContent>>

I will say I knew there was something wrong with the peaking, but wasn't sure what it was. You probably nailed it. I also found the peaking to become less intense whilst shooting video.
