    I've seen from multiple sources that the 6300 focus system works very much like the A7Rii's system where you can put either LA-EA3 adapter or metabones adapter and shoot Sony A-mount or Canon glass. Jason Lanier talks about it at the 3:45 mark in this video...

    Something no one has mentioned, is that beyond the obvious lacks, something that Sony implemented as in A7RII, is that capacity that can be read via adapter third party lenses and AF. That would become this great camera into something really unique and great difference for the APSC segment.

    I hope it writes timecode…

    Im guessing it is because they couldnt handle the data from the 6k sampling at 30 fps, so they scaled it down. I guess its better to have a sharper image with a bit of a crop than a softer image with a wider crop.

  • kurthkurth

    I agree...the newz of the 30p crop is depressing my interest !

    @cehkc:

    Let´s wait for the final firmware. PLUS: You get at least full scaling in 24P.
    (And a crop around 2x isn´t THAT bad. It´s the same with the G7 / G70 ^^.)

    @apefos:

    Good question - Got the G70 (PAL model of the G7) for under 400€.
    So it´s still the WAY better deal for sure (especiall as you can also go for the Ninja Blade,
    which you can get easily unter 400 bucks too - Used).

  • apefosapefos

    how does it compare to G7? well... it's a sony...

  • cehkccehkc

    Judging from the camerastore's video it's using only 8MP portion for 4K 30fp video(same as NX500), giving 2.3X crop. This is exactly the reason I didn't buy NX500 and no way I would spent almost twice as much(body only) for a6300 with the same limitation. Price is a bit steep relative to a6000 as well, which was launched at 650 and was recently selling for 450 if not 400(if I am not mistaken I've seen the deal around holidays touching 550 for a kit).

    It will be plenty sharp enough for a minor crop and upscale to DCI 4k, Im quite sure.

  • MckiniseMckinise

    @roly That's really cool. It is just a shame it doesn't give us a DCI 4k option. Does the camera have actual 24fps or is it 23.98 only?

  • rolyroly

    Yep, so no Hollywood blockbusters gonna be filmed on this (unless minor upscaling is involved).

    Might use it on my upcoming megabucks Netflix production, though. They only require UHD!!!

  • MckiniseMckinise

    No DCI 4k (4096 x 2160).

  • kurthkurth

    @Manu4Vendetta ...I agree. To be able to swing out the screen and move the focus point with a finger while using the evf is such a cool feature for pulling focus that I can't believe sony thought of this camera the way they did...i.e as a video tool....and then left that off. @joethepro....yeah...but that would mean there's an a7000 coming !

  • Manu4VendettaManu4Vendetta

    @peaceonearth, I love the system of touchscreen of GX8 (I do a lot of still), when I see by the EVF so I can use my fingers for focus in the screen, its very helpful when you are shooting in complicated scenarios because the detection of faces in the GX8 not always is accurate.

    for me touch screen isn't important as long you can't use it to set the focus point.

  • ttancredittancredi

    It is just some decisions made by top management and just follow tradition.

    Well, a tradition is an institucionalized belief. I couldn't care less about touchscreen.

    This is camera, on specs, has all I wanted on the g7, gh4 but with proper stills perspective. Waiting for reviews though- As live and work in brazil, overheating problems could be a bummer

  • eatstoomuchjameatstoomuchjam

    The RX100 series don't have touch screens either. At least, my RX100 IV doesn't.

  • Vitaliy_KiselevVitaliy_Kiselev

    I suspect Sony has a bizarre belief that: Touch screen = consumer camera

    I think they do not believe in anything.

    It is just some decisions made by top management and just follow tradition.

  • IronFilmIronFilm

    Note also that NONE of the A7 series cameras have a touch screen, which is down right crazy crazy!!

    I suspect Sony has a bizarre belief that: Touch screen = consumer camera (A5100 / RX10 / RX100 series ) Non touch screen = for pros

    Which is a damn pity, as even for manual focusing I love being able to tap to zoom in!

  • nomadnomad

    Those lenses seem a bit "front heavy" on the purse too…

    Camera could be nice, but the A6000 is frequently overheating in tropical conditions. Let's wait and see.

  • joetheprojoethepro

    @kurth I imagine these omissions were very purposefully done so as not to give us everything that the more expensive cameras have. Gotta give their customers what they want but keep them asking for more...

  • kurthkurth

    this is a beautiful camera...with 2 simple flaws . Why sony didn't put a headphone jack and a touchscreen is beyond me. I can possible guess that they had problems with ibis and possibly this was not added because of the rumored overheating problem...but a jack and a touchscreen...man add 50 bucks to the price but it's kinda of ridiculous...really !
