  • Sony a6500 is a great camera, especially with the price right now. But today’s video is about the six biggest problems with the a6500, and how to fix them. Also applies to the a6300. Support me on / tomantos

    As I say in the video, no camera is perfect. I came across six problems that really bugged me about the Sony a6500, but thankfully I was able to find a solution for all of them.
    1. Weak battery
    2. Bad LCD
    3. No in-camera timelapse
    4. Rolling Shutter
    5. Overheating
    6. Video Recording Time Limit

    Thanks for all these great Pros videos : i am learning a lot thru them. I just got the a6500. i need an advice about how to set up in advance my camera, for some shooting from a small plane (cessna) of a forrest above. I will have no times to try different set ups. I am afraid of shooting in 4 K with the rolling shutter mentioned so often. What would you do, you PROS ?

    Tom, great video as always. I am a long Panasonic shooter using the GH4 currently and shoot stills with a Nikon D800 with lots of great Nikon glass. I am considering purchasing the GH5S over the GH5 because I use a Ronin stabilizer. I was wondering what other video camera that I should consider? Thank you.

    Good to know these problems are fixable, and the low camera initial cost makes it easier to buy accessories. GH5 is great camera but I think I prefer 6500

  • @benjamin.tranbt
    @benjamin.tranbt 6 ปีที่แล้ว +45

    I want the a6500. But I've got the feeling that if I buy it now, its successor will be announced the second I put it in my hands, with (almost) all of those problems fixed. I FEEL IT. So I'm saving.

    • @lg.studio
      @lg.studio 6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Same here. I'm about to replace my A6000, but there will be a new sony announcement in 2 weeks or so, and I'm quite affraid I'll miss the better camera if I buy this now.

    • @TomAntos
      @TomAntos  6 ปีที่แล้ว +44

      If you need a camera now then just buy it. If you don't then buy it when u need it this way you'll have the latest. But don't wait just cuz a new better camera will come out soon. These days new models come out pretty much every year so regardless of when you buy it in a year your model will be old... but at least you will have shot all this cool stuff with that older camera instead of waiting around with nothing to show but the latest camera.

    Does any external monitor allow touchscreen functions? I use focus jumps heavily, and keeping this function active is vital. $600 for a monitor is a no go, but what about the 170 bucks option? Thx.
