Camera issues

[bob100]

They performed fine but the image was still soft in some situations which could have beed afma issue which you cqnnot do. The 40mm was nice but still the noise levels of an apsc are hard for me to deal with when I have been shooting with the 5d3 and 1dx. Even the a6000 exhibited a large amount of noise in the shadows at iso 1600 and above. I know people say its one of the best sensors but the last crop that was great was my old 60d qnd 17-55 2.8. The sony seems great but they need a nice 24-70 ff equiv. 2.8 then it would be nice. Back to the Canon. I liked the iq when it was sharp but the iso bumped in full stops and I generally like 1/3 stop increments. Plus the touch would not let you change settings. You could pinch amd zoom pics or touch the focus area. Finally with L glass it was not balanced qt all. Probably would consider the t5i or 70d for a lighter crop. Or wait.

but the "noise levels" on aps-c models can be reduced or eliminated !

use photoshop or lightroom and make the computer do the work!

If you look at DVCMike's thread, you will see the huge potential difference in size between the 5d3 and A6000..... But that's partially because it is full frame vs APS-C. Stick to native APS-C lenses on the A6000, it is potentially a much smaller kit, that will fit in a bag. And if you aren't pixel peeping, the IQ will be just fine. But beware, those native A6000 APS-C lenses aren't the greatest on earth. It's purely personal preference, but I like the RX100 as my back-up "small" camera. The IQ potential can't match the A6000. But I look at it this way: I can already go semi-small by sticking a prime lens on my D750. The A6000 is only slightly smaller. This way, I have the option to go with something truly truly small -- so it's either my full sized kit, for the utmost in image quality, autofocus, etc... or something super small that fits in my pocket, for acceptable/good IQ at a moment's notice. For me, personally, the A6000 kit... it wouldn't quite me small enough to give me a big reason to carry it over my full frame kit. (Though my full frame kit is smaller than yours). And the IQ of the A6000 isn't necessarily so much better than the RX100 to justify carrying it over the RX100. It would be a good compromise/replacement if I was looking to replace BOTH my RX100 and my D750.

Yeah I am thinking of bringing the rx100 and just getting a spare battery. I could take my 5d with 40mm pancake.... I will pack tomorrow and decide then.

I know but I could just bring the 5d and really not have to deal with noise. Especially with my sigma 35mm.
