You surely remember how Nikon “arguments” against the mirrorless camera performance during their D5 presentation (video here on SAF, watch from min 8). Well you have to listen to Sony’s answer during yesterdays product presentation in NYC. Watch from minute 9.30:
Preorders (start on Feb 10):
A6300 body at BHphoto, Amazon, Adorama and at Parkcameras.
A6300 with kit lens at BHphoto, Amazon, Adorama and at Parkcameras.
24-70mm f/2.8 GM FE at BHphoto, Adorama and at Parkcameras.
70-200mm f/2.8 GM FE at BHphoto and at Parkcameras.
85mm f/1.4 GM FE at BHphoto, Adorama and at Parkcameras.
Sony FE 1.4x Teleconverter at BHphoto.
Sony FE 2.0x Teleconverter BHphoto.

i though he would mock them or make fun of nikon, because we all know that mirrorless has one of the best advantages.. they show these scenes in original exposure, so you dont take a whole movement scene under/overexposed..
Sony are claiming the A6300 AF system is faster then Nikon D5 and D500 AF system (and better then any Canons). I would like to see that tested by a neutral 3. party.
Regarding VF blackout and responsiveness they are not comparing against D5/D500. They are comparing against an unknown 1000$ camera. I think its obvious why they didn’t compare to D5/D500 here.
Samsung nx1 (1.5 years old camera) with fw 1.4 is as fast focusing as d4s and more precise than it is. Hence, a much newer ml camera, with improved algorithms, can beat the best dslr.
Well one possible reason could be that both the D5 and D500 are not shipping yet? Also it seems fair to compare a $1000 body to a $1000 body. The claim has to be tested but the fact they feel they can talk about this so directly means they at least worked on the problem.
nikon marketing is like to slap on own face, unsure what are their reaction when they introduce their own mirrorless and recall this lol…
Last time I checked, neither the D5 nor D500 are close to 1k $ price tag. D500 will be 1700$ minimum, and that’s going to be close to 2k euros in europe (due to how companies like to price things)
Exactly. I would like to know 1000$ what camera they are comparing responsiveness and VF blackout to.
I also would like to see the first claim tested by 3. party.
A6300 + latest Sony 70-200/2.8 ~ $4000 (http://amzn.com/B00FSB79AK)
D500 + latest Nikon 70-200/2.8 ~ $4000
…they’re only comparing body price, not the price of the whole system. When you do, it’s a wash…except that the Sony lens for 50% money more has no IS, and neither does the A6300. You’re actually getting more for your money with Nikon here.
But hey, that’s what marketing is all about.
All of them AF work fine when we have good light and contrasy scene but well how about low light, low contrast, say a foggy winter morning. Let see how they would bear out
It’s getting there. Good optics / lenses also play important role.
Probably nice camera and sensor, but m43 has more cool lenses. I’m waiting for panaleica 100-400
I prefer quality over quantity.
I’d rather have the two Batis lenses than the entire m43 catalogue.
Besides, Sony has the 70-400 G2 which already has a focusing system optimized for mirrorless. Fantastic lens.
If you’re going the trouble to buy FF glass, might as well use FF body at that point no?
@ 23:40 they talk about optimising bokeh and say that they want to make it more “realistic”. Since it is only possible to experience the out of focus effect or quality, bokeh through an optical system other than the human eye I wonder what “reality” they are testing that against. Bokeh is a subjective thing that I think many people have become obsessed about it and so camera makers may be actually be trying to chase a particular quality of bokeh that is thought to be better or smother or whatever. But how do the marketing folk going to communicate the very subjective quality in such a way that it is better. By falling back on the “realistic” trope of course. Is any marketing minion ever going to fess up and say “the quality of our bokeh is better, er….. we think…. but of course it is quite subjective.”
