@Vitaliy: there is some interpolation starting at ISO 12,800. Not sure if it can be called RAW noise reduction, since the visual noise continually increases, and it matches the A6000's SNR. The A6300 uses Aptina's Dual Gain Conversion, basically giving the camera two base ISOs: 100 and 400. Seems like that's most apparent in DR, where it starts walking away from other cameras at 400.

And as above, the A6300 beats out the NX500 in all DXO charts except by a hair at ISO 100. DXO is too dependent on resolution in their scoring, and not enough on the overall results of their charts.

I spotted this relative to potential use of Aptina's Dual Gain Conversion in the a6300:

Another overheating "solution"

The rolling shutter of this camera is ugly. :(

@DrDave

This will be next step of progress.

Sony A8300, now with 8K, rec. limit without external cooler - 50 seconds, limit with portable cooler - 10 minutes. limit with on belt extended cooler - up to 29 minutes 29 seconds.

Making of, shot on A6300

My question for you and everyone that use the A6300 for similar jobs is, how get control the overheat in a filmation?

Mike Linn is not the author. He is feeding p-v with footage :-) Nevertheless there are no issues for these bzs shots, You will never shoot clips which are longer 10 mins

I had it in bright daylight (25°C) as B-cam for an interview. 2,5hrs in total of shooting, 22 Clips, 3min shortest, 23mins (last one) longest. No issues. If you need constant shooting of clips >20mins get another camera. For what I use it it's perfect.

I dont know if laugh or cry with Sony. They make the best sensors, great gear and cant make a camera without overheating issue, is like I buy a Porsche or a expensive sport card and need stop every 45 minutes because the engine is overheat. The need a lesson from Panasonic in that aspect; with GH2, GX7 and now GX8 I never had issue of overheating, with the NEX-5N after short time the camera is a grill

It is not so complex thing. You can look at Samsung who has best APS-C cameras designs considering video (with removing all flash related things from body and very small motherboard).

As I can understand Sony has big issues designing LSI, especially after big compacts sales fall.

@Vitaliy_Kiselev, Sony need improvement the issues on theirs cameras. I like the NX1, but I have some Sony lenses and I cant invest in another optical system.

@peaceonearth, you have undestand the example, dont think in a box if this camera is eqiuvalent to a Porsche or a Toyota, but think a Boxster isnt a GT3 RS, but both are Porsche, anyaway, forget the Porsche example if you have centered in if this camera is equivalente to a Porsche or a Kia. Then imagine a Civic, and the driver need every 30 minutes turn off the vehicle because the engine is overheat. Is the respect to thee consumer. I see some homemade solutions that make owners of the A6300 and I think in the respect to consumers and that Sony can not make a fully efficient article. Ok, now if i buy a Picanto, a cheap utilitary car an dont have the price of an Audi A8, i need make modifications for better working of the inexpensive car.

Very intelligent, if I dont pay for a Varicam my GX8 need turn off my camera for recording video, if I need a better camera then buy an Alexa or a Varicam. Panasonic has several cameras that record 4K, some cheaper than A6300 and have no problem, the GH4 is reliable and with a closer priice.

I would wait for the GH5 rather than get the GH4. Hopefully Sony with announce an APSC size sensor camera with IBS at Photokina as well...
