New A6500 and RX100m5 hands-on by Cinema5D

Share

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.

And here are more A6500 and RX100m5 tests:

(SR2) Rumor from a new source: Sony 20mm and 135mm FE to be soon?

Share

[shoplink 48572]Zeiss135mm[/shoplink]

Image above shows the [shoplink 48572]A-mount Zeiss 135mm f/1.8 lens[/shoplink]

This is a rumor from a new source. He said that Sony will announce those two new lenses:

20mm f/2.8 FE (Ideal for documentary, landscape and architecture photography
135mm f/2.0 FE

He added that they should be announced in November. So if (big if) that source is right I don’t know if these lenses will be announced next week or in another separate event in November.

Reminder: Rumors from new sources have to be taken with a big dose of caution. The reason I am posting this on SAR is that sometimes these rumors turn out to be true just like it happened with the recent A6500 rumor.

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

Share

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!
