As I say in the video, no camera is perfect. I came across six problems that really bugged me about the Sony a6500, but thankfully I was able to find a solution for all of them.
1. Weak battery
2. Bad LCD
3. No in-camera timelapse
4. Rolling Shutter
5. Overheating
6. Video Recording Time Limit

I am afraid of shooting in 4 K with the rolling shutter mentioned so often. What would you do, you PROS ?

But the camera LCD screen turns off when I hit record . Are you aware of any way to fix this? Thanks in advance.

Tom, great video as always. I am a long Panasonic shooter using the GH4 currently and shoot stills with a Nikon D800 with lots of great Nikon glass. I am considering purchasing the GH5S over the GH5 because I use a Ronin stabilizer. I was wondering what other video camera that I should consider? Thank you.

Good to know these problems are fixable, and the low camera initial cost makes it easier to buy accessories. GH5 is great camera but I think I prefer 6500

Here's the thing. I want to buy a camera for video or namely some short films and some artistic expression and am going back and forth between the a6300/a6500 and g85. I'm not interested in vlogs or selfies, so I guess I won't need the flip out screen, although it is a nice thing to have. What I'm interested in is a nice cinematic look, color grading, shallow dof where needed, some low light shooting. Looking at g85 footage it all seems so claustrophobic and not really cinematic but rather very realistic. I guess that has to do with the sensor and focal length equalness. The a6500 imho looks very good to the eye even with cheap lenses. The background is compressed and separated nicely, wouldn't you say? Rolling shutter can be fixed in post. I'm not sure I'm sold on the IBIS either. I plan on using a gimbal where needed because I'm planning on buying one for a project anyway. And I have monopods, sliders, tripods with fluid heads so hand held isn't a neccessity I guess. Basically I have a lot of gear my dad left me and am planning on buying a gimbal. All I need is a camera that will give me the ability to shoot short films and such. I'm very very into grading and achieving that film look and feel. This would be my first real camera. I can get the a6300 with the 18-35mm kit lens and the g85 with the 12-60 kit lens for about the same price. The a6500 would cost me about 450-500 more. Any suggestions?

I want the a6500. But I've got the feeling that if I buy it now, its successor will be announced the second I put it in my hands, with (almost) all of those problems fixed. I FEEL IT. So I'm saving.

@lg.studio 6 жыл бұрын

Same here. I'm about to replace my A6000, but there will be a new sony announcement in 2 weeks or so, and I'm quite affraid I'll miss the better camera if I buy this now.

@TomAntos 6 жыл бұрын

If you need a camera now then just buy it. If you don't then buy it when u need it this way you'll have the latest. But don't wait just cuz a new better camera will come out soon. These days new models come out pretty much every year so regardless of when you buy it in a year your model will be old... but at least you will have shot all this cool stuff with that older camera instead of waiting around with nothing to show but the latest camera.

Does any external monitor allow touchscreen functions? I use focus jumps heavily, and keeping this function active is vital. $600 for a monitor is a no go, but what about the 170 bucks option? Thx.
