@EYESOUL Thanks for the vids, I'm really impressed. When you have the time, could you please do some wide shots of foilage and/or people on the street?

I think the A6000 is more than perfect for what I will use it for,1 to 2 minute properly lit scenes. I personally haven't seen the codec break down to a unusable degree yet,mainly because I keep in mind the weak areas of the camera. I have a GH2 and I enjoy the images out the A6000 just as much,it's not that it resolves better but its images have a certain texture and feel to them. At this point I'm just trying to figure out the best combination of settings to get a desired result. On this specific footage I shot for almost 2 hours nonstop,1 to 2 minute clips every couple of seconds with no overheating. I like this camera a lot.

In the photo department it seems to perform quite well also..Sony 35mm 1.8 OSS

@tinyrobot thanks,actually it was real blue smoke made from smoke bomb fireworks. I just happen to catch the shot when the smoke was settling down. This is a photo right before the smoke settled. I wasn't the photographer on this shoot I just snapped these during taking some video. I wanted to include those shots in the A6000 video test but the re encoding from Vimeo made them look like sh#t.

The Sony Alpha 6000 is the best APS-C mirrorless camera the company has produced to date. Its 24-megapixel image sensor offers a ton of resolution, and still manages to keep noise under control at very high ISOs. The 11.1fps burst rate is the fastest we've seen in a mirrorless camera, and its autofocus system is able to keep pace even when firing off shots at such a high speed.

Testing autofocus ..

small test with A6000...

Sony A6K is still under the radar of many, but maybe needs to be looked at a bit more closely, Phil Bloom is impressed.

The Sony A6000 hands down has what could arguably be called the best autofocusing system out there, it by far is the smartest and the most responsive–putting some DSLRs to shame in our tests for sure.

For those looking for a compact interchangeable lens camera with good quality performance, the A6000 is a bargain. It performs superbly with auto focus in low light and continuous focus of a moving object.

Received my A6000 this morning.

In my short play with it I'm very impressed by the AF performance...especially in video mode where it puts the GX7 & G6 I had to shame. Lightning fast..putting AF drive mode to fast and the camera focuses faster than I point the camera at. This is with the 50mm f1.8 (which is a bit of a breather) @f1.8 so im pretty impressed. With the 18-105mm its pretty instant. AF in video important for me. I know it isnt for some.

So far things I like Its fast. Fast start up. fast drive modes. This could be a very popular camera for event photographers.

AF lock/AF lock off toggle while recording..been waiting for this to finally implemented by Sony.

Like the modern pannys you can change the camera to either Pal (25p/50p) or Ntsc (24p/60p) you have to format the card though when switching....unlike panny.

I prefer the new EVF...its lower res but its sharper. Colours are more better than the 6's.

The grip is very good size wise for my hands. I can even comfortably use the 18-105mm with one hand.

Some things that I dont like. Plastic like body...the Nex 6 had more metal. The Zeiss 24mm f1.8 does not benefit from the new AF modes in the a6000 so the speed is the same as the Nex 6. (UPDATE...My zeiss firmware was out of date 1.0...just updated it to 2.0 and its fast now)

I will add some other findings a bit later this evening.
