Very good. Considering that it’s going to cost way less than a6000, it will be a bargain at launch already. Sony is really marching ahead of competitors, in video camera business.
Specs look great, really close to the a6000, with the added benefit of a touch screen. Aside from a few frames per second, what does the a6000 have over this new camera?
The integrated evf, which is quite important for many.
Typical of Sony is they add one must have feature (focus), and take away something nice like the EVF and remove ability to use external EVF and display which could flip downwards for easier overhead shooting.
bs, the nex3 nex 5 never had evf in order to make it much smaller then the bigger nex 6,7 a6000 etc., plus your accusation of sony removing features is also complete bs, this little camera packs more features then any canikon middle range dslr.
