Sony A6300 lessons/video, not free

Wow. I think I'll develop and sell lessons for using a Keurig coffee maker, but omitting the part about applying the pod.

You can try, but something tells me what it'll be big flop :-)

Is there any drawback to using a typical 5v external USB battery for charging phones with these cameras versus actually finding a 7.2v pack? I assume the camera will draw more current when supplied with a lower voltage, so this could reduce the battery life compared to using a 7.2v source.

I doubt anybody (outside of Sony, maybe?) has done a lot of exhaustive battery life comparisons between using a wall charger and USB charging, but I have routinely been using USB battery packs/car chargers with my A7r/A7s/A7rII since getting one and they work great. Having the "car charger" for the battery built into the camera is pretty great.

Sharper than A7sII BUT with a veeeeery bad rolling shutter.

@pagelez

One important thing is that CMOS sensors and image processors are almost ideal things to design highly parallel. Rolling shutter only depends on readout speed and you can make it much faster, like 10 times. But, we do not see this happening, design is still very similar to CCD days. Firms still save on sensor design, even on LVDS lines, etc.
With stacked sensor they no longer have any excuses, except one - overheating.

ILCE-6300 camera firmware version 1.10 provides the following benefits:

Improves overall stability and operability of the camera
Improves stability in picture shooting mode by optimizing temperature control (effects vary according to temperature)

Even if it´s only stabilizing the picture (live view) mode, it´s at least a start.
(As you can use it at least in stills mode longer / more stable.)
But it would be great if it´s also working in video mode. Can someone test it?

Scot

How does it improve stability and operability exactly? Also what does it mean to optimize temperature control and what exactly does it do? I don't have a 6300 at least yet but would like to know what is fixed or improved and what they mean stability can be used to explain many things.

For stability and operability, some people were getting corrupted files when the camera shut off from overheating. That's probably what this refers to.

For temperature control, there was a discussion a while ago with a Sony engineer who said the camera may misinterpret the temperature signal in photo mode, which resulted in false overheating warnings.
