Sony Camera Software

There are many things about this camera that caused gut wrenching disappointment in me when I first started taking pictures with it. I am writing this review to let you know it is a GREAT CAMERA, once you get past the handicap. The handicap Sony software engineers have loaded it with picture fiddling software, that causes unfortunate outcomes like fine mud smear background effect, lack of precision in pictures and unreal colour. If you are experiencing difficulty loving your new a6000, stop using the auto and auto plus settings. Put it on P, and go through all the menus and turn off any Sony ingenuity you don't actively and knowingly want. After I did that I got STUNNING PICTURES, and could see the value in the extra megapixels. The camera itself is a great camera. Even the heavily compromised design of the kit 16-50mm lens can give excellent pictures.Don't give up, and you will love the pictures you get.Other thoughts it isn't physically small, like youtube reviews had me thinking. Its eye viewfinder is good enough quality to be enjoyable to use. Lens adapters fitted well, and I have used three manual film camera lenses on it with good results a Nikon 50mm prime, a Sigma PK mount zoom, and a Canon zoom/ macro. Battery life: turn the LCD onto bright sunlight mode all the time, and buy a spare battery what good is specified battery life if it is measured with the camera in an unusable state?I hope you buy one and get as much fun out of it as I am getting out of mine.

I use this Olympus 40-150mm lens on my Lumix GX7. It works as it should with it, both hardware and software wise. It is sharp across the whole image, sharper than my still useful Panasonic 45-200, and a more reliable image than my Sony 55-210, even though the Sony has the advantage of being on a camera (a6000) with lots more megapixels (I think the Sony's problem is over-smart software). This lens is lightweight and compact, and has good image quality. This lens does not have inbuilt image stabilisation, so is best used with a micro 4/3 camera body with image stabilisation some Lumix, and lots of Olympus micro 4/3 camera bodies, although the focal length isn't long enough for lack of Image stabilisation to be a real issue.

I made the jump from Canon to Sony after having both for a number of years. My first Sony was the Nex-7 and although I loved the quality the software was funky and Sony slow to make it better. While waiting for a new A7, I bought a Sony 6400 APS-C camera. Great value for the money, but noisy at any higher ISO. With no image stabilization and the smaller Sony battery, there were some frustrations. I built out my FF lenses, with the FE 20mm 1.8, Tamron 28-200 , and Samyang 85 1.4 AF. The payoff was the A7iv! Much better software, great features, and IQ. The camera seems to handle higher ISO for still and movie capture quite well. Love the customization, with ample controls like the joystick, buttons, and innovative ability to set up separate controls for Still, Movie, and S&Q. There is a lot here and it could be daunting. I highly recommend becoming a patron of Mark Galer to get the latest in CAMSET files you can load to speed up the customization and ebooks for guidance on-camera use and post-processing.

software has some glitch in the app but I am sure it can be fixed by Sony easily.

I have not found any problems with the camera thus far. It is probably the best value out there. The only problem I have found is that the software shipped with the camera is more difficlt to use than I would like.

My third Sony camera and they just keep on getting better.

The only batter I will use in my Sony camera.

Love my Sony! This is my first camera and so much in this camera.

Very easy setup, and software is very intuitive. It's been a while since I had a new Sony, (last one 2008) and the old one still works like the day I brought it home. So I expect the very same from this one. The Picture is Amazing, mini LED. The FTA tuner seems to have a strong Front End and I get many HD channels without using data. Great software package so you can play your own Video files and load your APPs, and is waiting for your PS4. Golf and Football games look great, like you're right in the Gallery or on the sidelines. Can't wait to add a nice sound bar

I've owned quite a few digital cameras over the years, some were cheaper and others were north of $3K, yet I am blown away by this $1,300 mirrorless miracle from Fuji. At the time of purchase I was comparing it against Sony's latest 7R. A friend of mine let me borrow the Sony for a day and while I loved the image quality, I wasn't impressed with the ergonomics and the weight and bulk of Sony's system with mounted lens. Another huge disadvantage of Sony was huuuuge files, full of annoying megapixels. I don't print human-sized posters and there was no way to have down-sampled RAW... X-T3 is a completely different animal. First of all, it almost completely removes user's dependency on software menus. All camera manufacturers employ terrible UX designers, so at least Fuji allows you to bypass the software mess and simply use physical dials for everything. Thank you. Another huge difference is that Fuji is incredibly compact when paired with Fuji lenses. They're almost always within 180-220g and it makes a huge difference. I have switched from a neck strap to a wrist strap which allows me to walk around with this dSLR handing on my wrist all day. Portability is everything. You end up taking your camera everywhere and taking more pictures. Finally, the image quality. One word: it's superb! 26MP is more than enough for (almost) everybody even if you're cropping. The dynamic range is great, I regularly recover giant amounts of detail in both shadows and highlights. ISO6400 is perfectly usable and not just for Instagram. But the most amazing part is Fuji colors. I shoot RAW and RAW files from Fuji are by far the easiest to work with: usually they require very little editing, mostly because the automatic white balance and colors are so great. Make sure to download Capture One Express for Fuji. It's free and it's amazing. Stop paying rent to Adobe. Renting software is bad for you.
