Sony Alpha NEX-6

[@drshreenie]

Had my nex 6 since last one year and yet had not explored most of these features. Thanks a ton for the info on the hot shoe and intelligent auto mode that I never used.

[@BandH]

We look forward to your visit!

[@djaste7]

thanks Larry, for the amazing review!

[@BandH]

That's an excellent idea and one that we'll consider. At the very least we'll include it in our next Mirrorless Roundup. Thanks for watching!

[@bekirdemirag3878]

Thanks. I love my Sony NEX 6 camera...

[@KarlosManOfLove]

Thank you for the fast reply! I will visit your new york shop when im going there in september! Will be buying a few things then!

I've just watched the review of the NEX 6 on TheDigitalDigest channel and he stated that you can run the battery dry (approx. 90 mins of video) and not have it overheat, which, according to him is a big improvement.

[@seashell139]

A great review , thanks :)

[@BandH]

Both cameras are excellent choices to consider. The main specifications of the two are very similar. With the Sony you have a slightly larger lens selection base to choose from and currently it?s priced lower than the Fuji. The Sony also has a much faster burst rate for shooting continuous still photos (10 frames per second vs 3fps in the Fuji). - Yossi

As owner of a sony nex-F3, I can say that this camera(NEX6) which is basically the same camera, works like a charm and one of the best for its price and performance.

[@AJ-80085]

Does nex f3 do slow motion?

[@MovieAddictMitch]

The microphone you used for this video sounds great. What type of lavalier did you use?

[@KhaledRashdan]

I purchased this camera. It's really good camera. one thing i still don't understand is how i can use manual focus ???

Sony ❤️

Hi! I`m going to New york in september this year! It will be my first time going to the us. I\m thinking about buying this camera, and was wondering what kind of microphone i can use on the hot shoot? Any other than the sony xlr-k1m that i can use? Thanks for an informative video.

[@alonfai]

I purchased this camera last month. It's really good camera. one thing i still don't understand is what's the DRO mode does, and is it recommended even when i'm shooting in RAW ? Also does the Noise Reduction scene mode delivers good results from your testing or is it better to buy a tripod for it instead ?

[@KarlosManOfLove]

Thank you for an quick answer! Will that microphone record directly to the camera, or do i have to sync it up afterwards? Thank you so much for your help! I Will visit your superstore when im in new york!!

The only thing that would make this better is if it could do 8 megapixel video (4k video) at 60p. It has a 16 megapixel sensor. I'd like to see an affordable APC-C by sony that does 8 megapixel 60p (4k video).

Is a Sony 1x 1/2.88 sensor going to have significantly better shallow depth of field over a 1x 1/3.91 sensor?

[@AgnostosGnostos]

The Sony NEX 6 was the first mirroless with phase detection autofocus system. Of course this phase detection is very inferior to optical dSLR phase detection but superior to traditional contrast detection. Not all Sony e mount lenses are compatible with hybrid phase detection like the pancake SEL16F28. It similar optical to the great Sony NEX 7 but not equally good.

[@BboyWildWind]

Can the NEX 6 user just buy a charger separately ? Is there any ?

[@StormyCProductions]

If anyone is having problems with their NEX screen there's a new Facebook page dedicated to this issue 'Sony NEX My Screen is Faulty: Delaminates'. Its hoping to generate some numbers and hope that it spurs Sony into action and admit it's a manufacturing fault...

[@Fugue602]

nex 6 or fuji x-e1?

[@revet69]

What is better? Sony NEX-6 or Nikon 1 AW1?

[@CarolineHealy]

Hello, I currently have a Nikon DSLR but would like something more compact, but still takes quality photos. I am looking at the SONY NEX-6 and the SONY A5000 and having a hard time deciding which to go with. I'm leaning towards the Sony A5000 due to price considering I already have a DSLR that has the features and more that the NEX-6. Which is a better buy?

[@BandH]

At this point the Sony NEX-6 has been discontinued and is no longer available. The A5000 is still available however. As far as features/specifications go, the A5000 is the more modern of the two and has an improved sensor and processor. Its larger pixel count will allow for better detail and larger sized enlargements. ? Yossi

Kelby Media uses Sennheiser ME2 lavaliers, in a receiver/transmitter configuration that's available at B&H if you search product code SEEW112PG3A. Thanks for your interest!

[@rokivillmur8147]

hello. sony nex 6 still worth to buy in 2015?

[@BandH]

hiro villamor This is still an excellent camera and will serve you well. It has been replaced by the Sony Alpha NEX-7 (B&H # SONEX7KB ). A superb step-up would be the Sony Alpha a6000 (B&H # SOA6000BK). bhpho.to/ZQnE6I Please contact us via e-mail if you have additional questions: [e-mail] >Mark

[@ahmmedh]

Try using a class 10 SD card

[@Dr23rippa]

good luck

[@baderalsubaie9669]

Could please tell me what do you prefer fuji XE1 or Sony nex 6 ?

[@BandH]

Both cameras have great image quality. Personally I am a big fan of Fuji?s optics and for that reason I would opt for the XE-1 camera. - Yossi

[@timhiggins2445]

B and H Fuji has better picture, Nex6 for video! Keep that in mind!

[@BandH]

This camera released in late 2012, began shipping last month. Please contact us via e-mail if you have additional questions: askbh{at}bandh{dot}com. Mark S.

[@BandH]

Pressing the 'Fn' button gives you quick access to six shooting parameters. Of interest to you is AF/MF (Auto Focus/Manual Focus/Direct Manual Focus [DMF] ) select. Use the 'virtual dial' on the live view display. Please contact us via e-mail if you have additional questions: askbh{at}bandh{dot}com. Mark S.

There is a Sony battery charger for the cameras battery. The Sony model number is: Sony BCVW1. Dana G. askbh{at}bandh{dot}com

The hotshoe is a turn off...

Dynamic Range is the difference between the darkest shadow and brightest high light areas of an image. The Dynamic Range Optimizer (DRO) function can capture a natural level of shadow and highlight detail that more realistically represents the tonal range of human vision which is Ideal for portraits.

[@BandH]

None that we have seen. I used the NEX6 for a few weeks and did not have this issue. C h u c k askbh{at}bandh{dot}com

[@BandH]

In theory the larger the sensor, the more shallow the depth of field will be. I would not describe a 1x 1/2.88 sensor being significantly larger than a 1x 1/3.91 sensor so how much the DOF will differ between the two, I cannot say. C h u c k askbh{at}bandh{dot}com
