High doubt it, since it would mean physically extending the lens. Lens mount conversion is meant for mounts with similar flange distances - you can group them into DSLR mounts (long flange distance) and mirrorless mounts (short flange distance).

Nope, no dice. Tried this on a vimeo video that can only be played on a specific site. Can't be done using the latest FF.

Cool story bro,but it doesn't make the rolling shutter or overheating any better (for those who care, like the posters on this forum).

My point being, that it will sell a ton irregardless of the conclusions of posters on this forums. Your voice is the minority. Your opinion is being taken into account for FS5, since you are the intended user group.

I believe you guys are dissecting this consumer camera way harder than an average user will. Once the price falls down to a more reasonable level (like A6000), these cams will be picked up by thousands of causal users like me - shooting photos and videos of your family and pets, usually clips shorter than 10 mins, documenting your travels, using high FPS sparingly etc. They (us) won't care about RS and overheating - IQ out of the box is key here.

Sony already caters to professionals with many models, so having this cheap option is just a bonus.

To vimeo's credit, they made it very hard to download the video file, since it is split up into small chunks. Getting videos off Youtube is still simple, since you just need to detect the url.

ha its expected when Sony's latest mantra is to make everything as small as possible LOL

No, it is not. It was fixed on the a7 series and lots of reports claimed that it was fixed with a6300. I really hope these guys just had the LCD closed against the camera of something like that.

uh, oh, several users reporting pretty severe overheating: http://***URL removed***/forums/thread/3978661

If they use wide angle as most would expect and focus is set to at least a few meters away, depth of field is a non-issue.

If you'd use Samyang's 8mm on APS-C sensor, you can get hyper-focal results even at f2.8. The price would be a lot more reasonable and size would be more manageable too.

If those are indeed direct from the card then S-LOG 3 looks unworkable on the A6300 and the codec is looking like it has the same problems the FS5 had, but worse. Not good.

FW update can fix it, so it could be worse

FF depth of field seems out of place in a surveillance camera. Wouldn't a FS7 sensor make more sense and you could keep the lenses smaller and cheaper. Not to mention the APS-C powerzoom lenses ....

Just not the the camera you'd use for videography:

A first report on overheating, he says there's none and the camera is much cooler to the touch compared to the A7's. 

 

In the comments I found this info: ISO 800 in S-Log 2 and 3.

 Is that crop on top of the 1.5x aps-c crop factor?

No. Read it again, it is not written ambiguously.

Also, the Metaboes AF looks very impressive:

I wish I'd used Micro SD cards all my life in adapters and just taped them in for later use as Micro SDs in Phones/tablets/cameras like these..

They're just as fast but slightly higher cost, worth the size difference that you get when you pull it from the SD adapter. .

I started doing this too a couple of years ago. Versatility is key and R/W specs are the same. I wonder if anyone with CF cards is using an CD to microSD adapter or even CF->SD->mircoSD route (cram an Wi-Fi adapter in while you're at it too :D ).

The PZ-E1 adapter gives much more than the standard two-button powered electronic zoom on some lenses. This gives a broadcast/eng type power zoom with an actual rocker than responds to press sensitivity in up to 10 different speeds, this is consumer incarnation of a ''real'' eng zoom rocker.

Sony's rocker is also pressure sensitive. I wish Sony would implement more customizable control over PZ via the camera interface, since pressure sensitivity and fixed speed both have their uses.

The thing is that a 70-200 f2.8 becomes a 50-142 f2 on a speed booster...

Makes you wonder what kind of sharpness and AF speed you could get with A6300.

Someone please tell my why a power zoom would adjust focus

It doesn't have a focus rocker on it, only a power zoom rocker... Something that should be on the lens for free anyway, like with all the other power zoom lenses from Sony, Panasonic, Samsung, etc.

Canon saw yet another money spinning opportunity to charge us for a zoom rocker. Pathetic.

PZ adapter has an upside - it should be considerably faster than the inegrated versions. But then again, that is due to four AA batteries - another set of batteries to charge. Anyway, with two 18-135mm lenses, one could've been a PZ version.

A6300 and NX1 are not comparable at all - the form-factor matters! If Sony had the luxury of a NX1-sized body, 4K60p would be a real possiblity (if they didn't have the FS7 to protect). A6300 should be compared to NX500 or just called a sweetspot between NX1 and NX500.

Dual Pixel AF already does amazing video AF, so that was never the problem. Just the smooth zooming part needed to be addressed. To bad about the lackluster Canon 80D video specs.

They already have a 18-135 STM lens which is supposed to be good for video. Now they just added an USM version of the lens and made it power-zoom compatible. So even if they created a lens with integrated PZ (with the STM lens), there would still be a photography oriented USM version and customers could chose which one they preferred.

Now, by my logic, it would make much more sense for them to have made the STM version PZ compatible, but I guess this power-zoom adapter is a recent idea of their  product management team.

If STM lenses are focus-by-wire, why not just integrate power zoom like Sony and others do it? And why use a power zoom adapter on an USM lens? Aren't STM lenses preferred for their video AF?

Sony is reportedly coming out with a 4K60p Action cam sometime this year according to SAR) and I would expect GoPro do the same with HERO5. This should be a worthy upgrade, but I am not sure how the flagship action cams are selling in the market flooded with cheaper models.

This has been proven by many real world tests. I imagine that the one true benefit of less pixels is the faster read-out and faster processing, enabling more fps.

Does the release of a6300 mean we will see a a5300 with the usual touchscreen? That would drive some people crazy, right
