Sony NEX-6 test video
Still have’t seen enough image samples? Here are some new ones:
Engadget posted new Sony NEX-6 image samples and the video you see here on top. And also Dpreview posted a new Sony A99 image gallery. Another new A99 gallery also at Pixiq. And new images also have been posted on ThePhoBlographer. I heard of no reviewer yet complaining about the image quality. And knowing Sony’s history I expect RAW images to be visibly better than the JPG images we have seen so far. At least Sony’s image quality is going better by every new camera generation release. Unlike Canon that released a new Rebel that is worse than the previous model!!! Source DxOmark.

Looks good to me. The NEX6 will be mine.
I just want it to come out already. I have my pre-order on Amazon still in queue.
When are we going to find out some shipping info for the A99? My store is telling me 22nd October here in Australia but it seems way too quiet for that to be true!!
Maybe a bit of a wait is a good thing to minimise the risk of the A77 debacle being repeated!!
“Maybe a bit of a wait is a good thing to minimise the risk of the A77 debacle being repeated!!”
You mean the “debacle” of devastating floods in Thailand?
You know what I meant. 5 firmware updates in a few weeks. The lag issue.
The floods in Thailand were dreadful and shame on you for using them to score points and to be clever.
hey dave what store is that sony said oct 31st to me from teh sony store here in australia and no update since on that date
Camera House in Melbourne.
thanks dave
yeah i called camera house and they currently have no date
Sad to be saying that none of the A99 sample pictures have impressed me so far. I am not very much into the technical aspects but Sony please give it to a professional or a pair of good hands, I need to see some good pictures to convince me to stay with Sony.
Agreed, the dpreview samples are quite underwhelming. It seems they tried to do a good hybrid video/stills camera but in the end it’s not that good at any of them. Pity, on paper it looked good.
big deal the EOS-M will beat the nex hands down. Canon has a wining track record ever sense the ae-1 the slt camera sony copied. I traded my a65 for a t3i and havent looked back!
yup!!! why do 5d3 even at more expensive sells many more units than cheaper a99? like the iphone populars people know what is the best image quality you can get is canon.
once i heard at a wedding they ask the photogre what camera he used and all they guests eyes widened opened and gasp that was sony, what you not use canon???
got ta hate the bests
How you’re right, Jon!
Nice trolling there PEEGlit. Congrats!
The ae-1 was such a rip-roaring success.
Then, shall we say the same for Canon and other manufacturers? They copied SLR then from early 1900.
EOS-M is very inmature right now. By the time Canon catches the current state of NEX-series, Sony will be further ahead. Canon will be trailing competition always. (but competition is good for us customers as that pushes manufacturers to offer the best, always)
While it is probably true that the NEX is a better camera than the EOS-M in many ways, I wouldn’t be surprise to see EOS-M out selling NEX…….simply because it is from Canon!
agree with you,
sony = born hopeless
canon = king
I suggest you go and read dxomark. No Canon aps-c camera can beat even the 2 yr old nex-5, never mind any new models.
only because canon #1 sales not struggling no need to pay off dxo obviously
Yeah, thats it, thats why Canon’s DXO scores cannot compare to Nikon’s.
a nice A99 hands-on video from Ambos (Club Sonus)

It is a clear advantage if you understand the German language 😉
..unfortunately the “Dpriew”-images are shot with noise-reduction (my view). Don´t know how strong, but i can´t say much about how good the A99 handles noise looking at these images…
The video looks terrible. I hope it is just a result of the compression for online posting.
Not only horrible but recorder on interlaced LOL!!!
technically cameras no longer record interlaced images, only progressive frames that can be stored in an interlaced container which are for all intents and purposes, played back in a progressive manner indistinguishable from something stored progressive, unless you are still using a CRT monitor for playback. but we really can’t gather anything useful from the images and clips we’ve seen so far, a pro review would be much appreciated.
Yes, horrible video.
We cannot judge the quality of the camera by it.
Highly compressed, bad handling, totally wrong exposition, this is worse than what a child could do.
Unless Sony gave them 2 a99’s, then it’s unlikely the video was shot with an a99. So no matter how bad the video is, it’s likely another camera.
The video embedded in this post is from the NEX-6. I hope it is a compression/settings…because that’s not the level video quality I was expecting from it.
Admin, I suggest to delete the A99 + kit lens link because it’s misleading. No Kit lens links for now.

Yawn
Poor dynamic range. 🙁
The 21th of current month I will receive my a99!!!! I will post my direct impressions!!!
How you getting this month? Did you hear something? Is it you or the masses?
Sony told me that the camera body will be in stock in Europe by the 18th and then they’ll dispatch to customers.
Engadget use very poor photos and videos on the reviews, they need to use better photographers for this evaluations.
I know the photos form an artistic side is not that good but you can see even at this point that the high iso images will be good to excellent. The dynamic rang and color will prove to be excellent not poor as Jurka suggests. I believe their DXO scores will be overall mid 80’s. Not as good as Nikon but better than Canon.
