Yeah, that seems really high for an APS-C lens. But I'm not super familiar with Sony's lens lineup.

From dpreview:
"The a6100 is essentially the a6400 with a lower resolution EVF (1.44M rather than 2.36M dots), smaller ISO range (ISO 51200 vs 102400) and no Picture Profiles."
So basically it has a crappy EVF.
I have no need for any of these cameras. I'm already eyeball deep in Sony and Fuji as it is, plus Nikon stuff. Sony announced a $1400 16-55 2.8, motherfuckers are crazy.Ok so in the last 72 hours we have these announced cameras:
Panasonic S1H
Canon 90D
Canon M6ii
Sony A6600
Sony A6100
Weee!
Any of these move the needle for anyone? Not I but I'm slowly circling Fuji, maybe they will want in on the fun :)
I recently shot the A7RII and the A7RIII, side by side and the EVF difference is very noticeable actually. Nothing worse than shooting through a viewfinder that looks muddy.
I mean, no? That's my opinion though. You're going to be spending a crapton on lenses, why cheap out and get an EVF that dated?
You can get the Fuji equivalent for like $800 used now on Ebay. The Sony is a non starter or at the least not the thing to get somebody to switch systems.Eh, it's $200 more than the Fuji equivalent that has been out for years. I'm sure it will come down over time.

Someone wake me when the X-H2 and A7IV get announced.Yeah, definitely nothing system-switching worthy was announced today.
I really want an APS-C second camera to compliment my A9, but this stuff ain't it.
This is why I just never recommend Sony crop sensor, they don't care about it and the prices now just say "might as well just buy a full frame lens." That 16-55 is very close to the 16-35 2.8GM price wise used.Sony is crazy with those lenses, why buy those when you can get the Tamron 28-75 for $500 less which allows you to upgrade to FF without problems

Yeah, but it'll be awhile before the Sony one hit's the Fuji's level of cheaper. It'll probably be about $1200 at the cheapest for a few years till the market get saturated with them.I mean, sure, but when you can inevitably buy the 16-55 used it'll be cheaper too.
The 90D honestly seems fantastic, but Canon, like the other big two do not really care about APS-C, so they don't have good lenses for it. And if you end up buying FF lenses, it sorta defeats the purpose. That said, a high res APS-C could be a specialized camera for wildlife/sports with the fantastic Canon super tele lenses.Ok so in the last 72 hours we have these announced cameras:

yea i've never had to clean a sensor. Even phase one's gigantic sensor would catch lots of dust, just blowing on it would remove most dust.I've cleaned a DSLR sensor with a swab in the past. It wasn't hard, just be gentle and follow the instructions.
That said, I've only had to do that one time in over a decade, the rest of the time I'd just use a rocket blower. Or with my newer cameras the self cleaning ultrasonic process the camera does seems to take care of most things.
Actually, the most annoying cleaning I've done recently was when I had my lens off to switch and my 5 year old stuck a dirty finger in and touched the mirror. Ugh.
There was something really weird and persistent on my sensor this one time, dunno how the heck it got there. But yeah, other than that...yea i've never had to clean a sensor. Even phase one's gigantic sensor would catch lots of dust, just blowing on it would remove most dust.
The M6 Mk II looks attractive tbh. But the EF-M ecosystem really isn't too appealing apart from that 32/1.4 maybe. If I had old Canon FF glass, the adapter would be an option, but there isn't even one available for the modern RF lenses, so not a futureproof move.
The Sony A6600 isn't convincing at all. Right now the price is quite wrong and no joystick is a dealbreaker for me for a new expensive box not to mention the mediocre EVF and the lack of 4k/60p video. And it looks like the sensor isn't really an improvement.
Crop sensor mirrorless is pretty much Fuji territory to me. The batteries are trash, but I use the grip and use three so it's not that much of a complaint to me.The M6 Mk II looks attractive tbh.

Sucks to see them position the 6600 as their APS-C flagship. Guess the rumored a7000 or mini a9 is just not in the cards.
I honestly think Sony don't care. People keep asking for a flippy screen on the A7's and it's still not there. If Sony wanted to do the R&D for this stuff they could, but they don't want to because they don't even think it's worth it. I honestly think people should look at what's available that fits their criteria and then buy that...or just adjust their expectations.Everybody I talk to waits for an APS-C in an A7 body just for the ergonomics. They really miss an opportunity there I think.

If this is true I probably never noticed and I have a good amount of these things.Anyone own a Peak Design Slide strap?
I'm about to buy one but it looks like they stain clothes. Maybe that's just the darker ones?
What? says who?I'm about to buy one but it looks like they stain clothes. Maybe that's just the darker ones?
I just bought a Slide Lite, this thing rocks. It's woven nylon (?) though....doesn't seem like it'll stain at all. I am really liking the design, and feel of it. Heavy duty.Anyone own a Peak Design Slide strap?

The Slide Lite has survived the A7R2 with the 70-200 2.8 hanging off of it for months, it's a very well made strap, just a bit too narrow for that weight load for me, but on crop sensor I'm sure it's perfect.I just bought a Slide Lite, this thing rocks.

Funny you say that. I had one of the original ones, so old it had no serial number, and it stained a shirt. I emailed them and they sent me a new one.Anyone own a Peak Design Slide strap?

Yes.
Yes.
I had the really cool blue one. And it's ruined a Astros shirt I have. Washed it twice, once with oxyclean and it hasn't come out. My wife is gonna try lestoil but she hasn't done it yet.
And yes I picked ash, though not really happy about either color choice.
I use the blue one on my D4...luckily I don't use my D4 too often.Yes.

Yea that's the one I got. But like i said, I've only had it for two weeks.But the newer Slide seems to not stain anything? (It's amazing to have a thread where I can just straight-up ask someone about this, for the record)
I'm looking at this one.

I use only primes, so I hear ya.I hope the new APSC cameras from Sony give me the opportunity to buy a second a6000 body for pennies. Switching lenses is my least favorite part of photography.
