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?

DxOmark tested the [shoplink 54823]Zeiss 50mm f/1.4 FE lens[/shoplink] and unsurprisingly it is the sharpest lens in the 50mm FE range:

If it’s outstanding low-light performance, first-class sharpness at very wide apertures, and snappy autofocus that you desire in an FE-mount 50mm lens, the Zeiss FE 50mm f/1.4 is unrivaled and an excellent choice for the discerning Sony a7 series owner.

Highlights

• Outstanding sharpness
• Excellent light transmission
• SSW autofocus motor
• Wide f/1.4 maximum aperture
• AF/MF switch and large manual focus ring
• Physical aperture ring with “de-click” option for video

Drawbacks

• Heavy vignetting at f/1.4
• Big and heavy

But still, the 55mm FE scores a tiny better result at DxO. It’s just as sharp and costs much less.

If you don’t need that extra speed or de-click option go for the 55mm lens!
