New A6500 and RX100m5 hands-on by Cinema5D

Cinema5D posted that A6500 and RX100m5 hands-on video. About the A6500 heating they write:

The overheating problem that was a major issue with the a6300 is hopefully a thing of the past. In the camera menu you can now change the “Auto power off temp” setting from Standard to High. As a result, the camera will get warmer to the touch, but the recording time before switching off will be longer. How much longer depends on many factors, but future user experience will determine how good it is.

Newsshooter test: The new Sony A6500 has no more overheating issues!

Newsshooter tested if the new A6500 does overheat. In their A6500 vs A6300 head to head video you can see the A6500 running for 29min without any issues while the A6300s topped 18min earlier.

Sony appear to have fixed the single biggest complaint users have about its predecessor, the a6300. The new a6500 solves this with a new ‘Auto PWR OFF Temp’ setting. When set at ‘High’ it allows the camera to continue recording all the way up to its 29 min 50 second limit. According to Sony reps you can then start to record again immediately for another half hour in normal conditions. If you then start recording again a third time Sony make no promises about how long it will record for.

Sounds great!

First A6500 review by Patrick Murphy-Racey

bildschirmfoto-2016-10-13-um-09-18-15

Sony Artisan Patrick Murphy-Racey posted the first full Sony A6500 review:

As a user of every Pro camera Canon has made since the original EOS1 back in 1992, and more recently as a Nikon shooter with the D4S, I have become accustomed to how these top of the line pro cameras feel and act in my hands shooting news, sports, and photojournalism assignments.They have always been the best, offering super-fast AF, quick motor drives, and low light auto focus that I have grown to count on.
The A6500 feels much like those high end cameras of today that cost $6,000 each.

Patrick was the first and only(!) photographer who had the pleasure to test the new camera. And it’s also worth to be mentioned his future Sony product wishlist:

1. A full-frame A7 series camera with the chops of the A6500. Speed, high frame rate, 4D focus.
2. A vertical grip for the A6500 and future FF camera with more than one back button for AF.
3. An AF management custom function similar to Canon’s “Case” system.
4. In order, FE300mm f/4G SSM, FE135mm f/1.8GM SSM, FE300mm f/2.8G SSM, FE400mm f/2.8G SSM, FE200-500mm f/5.6G SSM, FE600mm f/4G SSM, FE200mm f/2G SSM, FE200-400mm f/4G SSM, FE500mm f/4G SSM
5. A “real” 4-AA TTL flash made by Sony with built-in radio trigger system.
6. 1/250th sync for flash AC powered units
7. XQD cards Please (this will only allow a faster through-put).
8. An even shorter shutter lag time, 240 fps 4K EVF. 20 fps motor drive.
9. A larger body with a new battery and bigger buttons.
10. The ability to store all custom functions on SD cards and e-mail them to share with others.

RX100mV tested: It’s really visibly sharper and less noiser than the previous version!

Imaging Resource posted the Lab shots taken with the new Sony RX100mV. At first glance the RX100mV seems to be visibly sharper and less noisier than the previous RX100mIV. What do you think?
