Douglas: “I just uploaded this on YouTube: https://youtu.be/hDIkUJyu3Ko The a99II & a7rII and the A-mount and E-mount battle it out in this video. I test the cameras and three equivalent lenses from each mount; see how the G Master lenses perform against A-mount glass.  You’ll have to watch for the detailed results.”

Maartech: “I did a detailed side-by-side menu, feature and function comparison of the A6500 and A6300 including burst, overheating, dynamic range and more. I found a few things that I didn’t like, and a few things missing …https://youtu.be/iAkRdgnq2nY“

Fivepin: “Hey guys I wanted to share a video on something I get a lot of questions about. How to micro adjust your lenses. I don’t use a 45 chart or any chart for that matter. I have come up with my own way of doing it over the years and all you need is some fine detail and any photo program to adjust your lenses. I shoot Sony but you can use this method with any camera that has micro focus adjust. Check out the video and I’ll show you how I do it. Trust me your lenses will thank you! https://youtu.be/FN8aR36v9VI“

Sean: “Just wanted to point you toward a video I made comparing the image quality in low light between the a6300 and the a6500 cameras. Ive heard lots of discussion about this topic but haven’t seen anything conclusive, so I decided to go ahead and make one. Thanks for looking! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XNOXDFzSHhY“

Why

Since the introduction of the E-mount (formerly NEX) system Sony has struggled to offer a maximum power from a minimal body. There is no doubt that they succeeded pretty well in this respect.

I have bought my first E-mount camera (NEX7) five years ago and coming from DSLRs I had to learn how to cope with the petite size of the body. Still now, some forty thousand pictures later, I am fighting with what I feel as an insufficient size of my E-mount bodies. I kept adding various L-plates and grips to them in order to increase their height and to solve the insufficient battery capacity as well. As a glass wearer I also fought heavily with the small eyepieces on the EVFs. The well-known overheating problem has never been an issue to me as I am not a video guy, but it should be mentioned too.

The question for me was: could an increase in the size of the body help to solve at least partly these problems? How big should such camera be?
