Loved and bought the A6000 after I reviewed it. Bought the A6300 sight unseen – not as good a choice. So, very interested to work with the A6500, which appeared very quickly after the A6300.
I borrowed it from B&H.

(I still recommend the A6000 as an excellent value camera)
Behind the Scenes
Lots of interesting goings-on: the Women’s March in Toronto; The Gold Medal Plates Dinner at Ravine Vineyards in St. Davids; Cocoa and Vino at Peller Estates Winery in Niagara on the Lake; The Light Festival at The Distillery District in Toronto; Mara Nesrallah and Michelle Willis played at Burdock in Toronto.
All photos are available on flickr to review the EXIF data and settings.
On camera scenes are recorded with the Sony A6300 with the SEL35F18 lens. Closeups were recorded with SEL30M35. Menus were recorded using an Atomos Shogun. Menu scenes are edited to fit the narration – they may be slowed or speeded, so may not be representative of real performance. The speed of the burst, overheating and other “performance” screens has not been adjusted.
On camera audio is recorded using a Rodelink Filmmaker wireless kit, narration recorded using a Rode NT-USB. Manfrotto tripods are used. I edit using Final Cut 10.3.1 on a 5K iMac.
This is one of three videos about the A6500. There’s a Video Settings guide and a Detailed Comparison of the A6300 and A6500.
