Ok, nice videos. The Wind and Light is good. I am unsure about the second one. I think the sound scratches from the microphones when the interviewees are speaking has a bit of amateur feel. I saw the GH3 leaked video and it look miles better than this one. Hell, they got Philip Bloom in it!
Please Sony, put an effort into what you guys are doing. Pretty please.
Also, the light and wind video is really. If it had someone that people could recognise (like Andrew from EOSHD, or that one tattoed dude from Cinema5D) then I am sure a lot of people would be talking about it. So far it seems to stand in line with a TV ad.
Maybe the sound is like that because they used a NEX 7 to shoot it
Sony use Philip Bloom all the time for their video cameras, such as FS100 and FS700, if PB is your thing.
Aliasing in the A99 is horrid!!! What a shame
Very nice NEX6 video. I really want to lay my hands on that camera + the 16-50.
And my NEX5N will be kept as second body, I love it too much to sell it.
I am not sure whether I saw this correctly, but the A99 has a lot of moire in the video??? About a third way through check when the town is filmed. The houses, windows…not sure whether this can be avoided?

Take my comment re moire and anti-aliasing issues back. Saw the clip on another link and on another monitor and the video is superb!
Stef.
Can you please provide the link where the video looked better?

Love love love!!! Couldn’t wait any longer for that magic 6 and 16-50!
The 10-18mm lens will be very nice for landscape still/video I believe.
Nice with constant F4 also.
I am wondering whether that was shot with the AVCHD codec, or the HDMI output was recorded.. Need more scientific tests and comparisons!!
I found this.

Admin, you should maybe make a link to this? First time I see this and I have been looking really hard for it.
It is looking REALLY GOOD! at least at ISO 100
Two hot guys, one hot camera and Alaska. Im there!!
Keep up the good work Sony, you make me soo happy.
Considering its been youtube compressed that looked pretty nice.
I’m not sure I like the video. and its has a lot of youtube bad compression in area’s (not the camera) but the smoothness of the image is amazing. what ever they are doing with the shutter is just plane nice.

I cant tell. I see all sorts of artifacts and noise. If they want to do a proper sample why dont the release on their website or at least vimeo. Youtube is nasty for video. meant for prepubescent justin beavers to get famous.
If they got rid of the forced crop through software stabilization, admit their in body stabalizer cant handle video then I will consider this cam. Otherwise… its a gimmick for grandpa and this movie is an expensive commerical production that grandpa will dream of and never make. Instead he will wonder why his grand daughter looks like she moves like superwomen and no will have the heart to tell him “because your camera elected to shoot video at 1/1000 of a second shutter speed.”
One thing for certain GH3 will kill this. GH2 already does
Once you turn steady shot off, the video is no longer cropped (A99).

End of film says “all filmed with NEX 7”. Hm!
guys, do you think NEX-6 is compatible with the sandisk extreme pro class 10 UHC-1 95mb/sec??
The card should work, but that doesn’t mean that the NEX6 is able to write at 95MB/s… Don’t know the max. writing speed of NEX6 interface.
A99 video:
I bothered to watch it on a fullHD 36″ tv and i think it looked great despite the YT compression wich leaves the bitrate at just 5mbps.
Some noticeable moire on one spot of the video, blue striped windows, the rest was virtually artifact free.
Well, I am no Steven Spielberg but I dare to say that video quality is amazing. I would love to see what Mr Yamashita did with this camera concerning stills. I am so tired of looking at a bunch of bottles shot at ISO 748374387438748. I want to see a real photographer handling this great camera.
excited about the nex-6 and 16-50 lens 😛
Such a Great Video for the 6 – It gets me excited to buy one and finally Sony gives me something to chew on with information. Keep this style of video coming !
Does the Nex-6 have an external mic jack?
hi folks, what is it ?
hi guys I am a newbie in photography
In the NEX-6 video at 5:22 and at the end of the film,
I found a strange gadget that mount the camera and
that ride on the photograper’s shoulder,
what’s the name of that stuff?
what’s the function and purpose of this apparatus ?
when will a photograper need to use it ?
and btw, where I can buy one from ?
TIA
Hi Recho, what you see there is a shoulder mount. It is used for video, to help keep the camera steady and reduce shake. It wouldn’t be very useful in photography – better to use a tripod or monopod to steady the camera.
I think the NEX-6 Alaska videos are nicely done.
Good to hear that the A99 finally gets PAL/NTSC dual boot for video (press kit mentions “PAL/NTSC Selector”).
If only the NEX-6 gets the same treatment……
Anyone know what type of lens is being used on the NEX-7 around the 5:33 mark of the second video?
