Am kind of glad this thread arrived at this hour, for have been thinking about something for tele since I like my a7rii for most other things. The A6400 is a given, almost, as per most reviewers, what with the better AF..but I just used the MC11 and Sigma 100-400 on my A6000, where three of my piano fingers curl around and down along the small grip. It felt OK, the Sigma is eminently holdable, but then I put the same adapter and lens on my A7rii and the primary thing I felt when picking the combo up was relief (for the right hand fingers). There are cages+wooden grips for the A6400 but haven't see one yet that looks as if it'd fit in a jacket pocket. (Though neither does a tele lens)
Great AF is great but it matters less if you don't want to pick the AF up. (Suffer from a bit of rsi in the arm). Edited by Kilkry - 16 November 2019 at 19:22 |

There is now an interesting line of cages and L-brackets for the A6X00 series by smallrig. Sorry for distracting from this thread's topic: I would welcome to see some pics of the Sigma 100-400! |

I have an a6000 for more than 2 years. I like the ergonomics but I have small hands. I have friends with larger hands that cannot be packed among grip and lens.
My complains are the eye shell that is uncomfortable while shooting in vertical and the fn and ael button that are so close to be misunderstood while touching them with the thumb. Just a matter of acquaitance. I love the compactness, my lens max weight is the body one. I had a 1st gen a7 with 2870 in hand and it does not felt better than a6000. If I'd choose heavier bodies I'd switch to A mount |

what I think does not matter. What matters is what prospective buyers think. I follow most brands and I can easily differentiate most bodies within a brand. But anecdotally I believe more folks find fuji easier to follow. actually that's a nice way to explain, I never thought about it. But then the issue comes when I try convincing people A6400 and even A6100 might be better than A6500 for them. Not at all jealous of your tennis exploits ![]() Look forward to seeing them. |

![]() Also anecdotally I think most prospective buyers will do sufficient research before shelling out their 500-1000 pounds (or more) that naming conventions become a non-issue. Edited by pegelli - 17 November 2019 at 10:58 |

I see room for an A7000 - basically an APS-C with a mark 4 like body: bigger grip and central viewfinder for the sport/wildlife/aircraft spotters among us. For street and general photography I think the A6x00 cameras are brilliant. For the A6x00 naming scheme, it is not that difficult: Entry level: lesser build, lesser functionality - A6000 (older) A6100 (newer) upper entry/mid level: better built, added functionality - A6300 (older) A6400 (newer) Upper mid level: added IBIS - A6500 (older) A6600 (newer; with bigger battery but no flash) In general the newer cameras have better AF. Easy to explain me think ![]() Looking at the Fuji line-up: Can you easily explain the difference between the Fuji X-T3 and X-T30? How does the Xpro3 fits among those two? And the X-H1? Why is the X-A7 more expensive then the X-T100? It adds 30p 4K but looses the viewfinder. Confusing IMHO ![]() I think Nikon has the easiest system: just one camera, the Z50 ![]() |

Well then you need to explain why A6300 is different. Then you need to explain why IQ wise they are all the same apart from A6000 which uses older 24mp sensor. You'll be surprised I think, many people don't realise why they are buying what they are buying ![]() I too was one of them once up on a time. Edited by nandbytes - 17 November 2019 at 12:22 |

The Touit 1.8/32 on APS-C is not as good as the maligned FE 1.8/50 on full-frame. I was looking for a normal APS-C prime when I happened to get a used Rokinon 35/2.8, and found it to be better than the APS-C offerings. I personally want faster AF and stabilization for my normal prime. Edited by QuietOC - 17 November 2019 at 13:52 |

Anyway, it is all not that relevant. If somebody is happy with the offered options, better for them ![]() |

I bought my NEX6 in 2014 when the A6000 just was available as well. I chose the NEX6 for 3 reasons:
And yes, I dislike the NEX-6 menu system. Always searching for the right menu item to change. |

I would like to buy an APS-C 2/12 with AF (and OSS as my hands become more shaky with age). Unfortunately this lens isn't on the market yet. |

Yes, it is a problem that there are no OSS primes wider than 35mm. The Sonnar 24/1.8 should have had it. It is understandable that it is missing from the pancake primes. I have been looking for a full-frame equivalent of the Samyang 12/2. The Batis is more than I wanted to pay. The Samyang AF 18mm F2.8 seems to be that lens. I am hoping this next one will be more centered. |

If I had to make a choice today whether to give up all my gear and keep one camera and one lens ... I would keep the NEX6 and the 18-105 and drop the rest in the ocean. So much fun using this system. It is alway travelling with me. Really, really love this little camera. It is a wolf in sheep clothes.
