![]() They have also paired it with a much better image processor. The result is a much cleaner video image and you can tell even from looking at the LCD in live view mode how much better it is. Sony have completely revamped the sensor since the NEX 6 and NEX 7, which was much needed. It has loads of video features and aids to help you get the right exposure and focus just like a proper video camera should. The A6000’s form factor and handling are lovely. That delivered lovely video, nice and clean, good in low light but unfortunately the form factor wasn’t great for video and it lacked a lot of features. Have we seen this sensor before? It seems very similar to the one in the Nikon D5300, which was manufactured by Sony. It has high speed frame rates up to 60fps at full resolution, great 24MP stills quality, very nice OLED EVF, articulated screen, uncompressed HDMI output and pretty good built quality as well. With Speed Booster you can go full frame with it. It has a larger sensor than the GH4, Super 35mm so a good match to the Hollywood standard. The rest of the camera is packed with good stuff. The GH4 price is amazing for what it is, but this is $1000 less and only really lacks one major feature of the GH4… the 4K image. The A6000 does not do 4K but it does do lovely 1080p.ĤK might not (yet) be for everyone so if that is the case for you then prepared to get excited because the Sony A6000 is a mega surprise. For a start it is $650. I am told the A7R could have done 4K but only for a few seconds due to heat issues. However Sony are also pushing very hard and the A6000 really is a lovely camera for video. I much prefer the GH4’s image in 4K over the Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera. It is a pro cinematography tool priced like a consumer camera. If you want the ultimate image quality for the price, the GH4 is it. At just $650 it is an absolute bargain.Īll eyes are currently on the Panasonic GH4 and for good reason, because the image is spectacular in 4K and 4K is the future. This is arguably the best current ‘cheap’ camera for video, de-throning the GH2 and GH3. A Nikon D5300 in a mirrorless body, with far more features, the image quality is closer to the FS700 in 1080p than to a NEX 7 or A5000. The pristine sharp EVF, a magnified focus assist which can be activated whilst recording (rare!), peaking, zebra, 16:9 screen and of course the mirrorless form factor. ![]() The Sony A6000 is the best Sony consumer camera yet for video.
