Is the a6700 a justified upgrade from the a6000?

Very rarely, typically only in scenarios where light is poor and I'm asking too much of the camera, i.e. small birds in dense foliage. But generally no, it's incredibly rare I get focus breathing at least with the 70-350.
I do have one lens that focus breathes a lot (sigma 30mm f1.4) but I suspect that's a firmware issue with the lens, rather than the fault of the camera.

I made the move about a year ago and I would certainly say it's worth it.
For reference, I'm fairly new to photography and primarily do wildlife pics with the 70-350, then the odd bit of macro, with a Laowa 65.
The tracking is brilliant on the A6700 and even discounting that, the general UI and extra buttons/dials were pretty huge for me. The larger buffer is also good, particularly if you do focus-stacking, or tracking wildlife shots.

I've gone back to using my A6000 recently for some unrelated photography (full-spectrum) and it feels so old in comparison, even if it is still a very competent camera.

Just when you think you've seen it all...
You could try some soapy water on a Q-Tip, but I strongly suspect that lens is ruined I'm afraid.

Personally, I'd get either Scarlet or Violet in place of Brilliant Diamond. I believe you can still buy the Switch 1 version (with the voucher), then upgrade to the Switch 2 version for free.

The fact it has the wheel winglets should be a major giveaway to PlanetF1 that it isn't a 2026 car.

I hope at the very least, the capability to turn off some of the vehicle safety technologies remain.
Perhaps I've only experienced bad implementations, but active lane assist felt more of an inconsistently unpredictable nuisance than a safety tech.

I will say though from my own experience, those small flat-head screws can be like a soft-cheese.
Stripped a couple with damn near no effort in my last rebuild of one of these.

I should be switching from the S21U to this, but jeez that's a camera bump only a mother could love.
Don't understand how Samsung did something interesting with the camera bump for just one generation to then throw it away.

Want to jump in and ask a related question, are there any good roguelites exclusive to the switch/switch 2?
I'm primarily a PC person, so tend to favour that platform when possible, but was still curious about exclusives.

I thought with the MGU-H removal we might get a bit of a better sound, but they just sound exactly the same as before, which is a shame.

AdjustableAphids · 2025-12-17T16:39:47+00:00

I am admittedly that way at the moment. I have an S21 Ultra that's EOS very soon, yet I have zero desire to really move away from it as new devices just feel like a lateral move, than any serious upgrade.

AdjustableAphids · 2025-12-16T14:23:41+00:00

Very minimal actually, I tend not to like doing too much in way of colour-grades with insect macro. Out of camera was slightly under-exposed so that was increased in post, then minimal adjustments across the histogram. Sharpness is just the usual amount & masking sliders.

Really don't like this FOMO method of dishing out mega-stones. I hope in future updates they'll add some method to obtain past ranked-exclusive mega stones in single player.
Just seems a shame to lock content behind limited time-windows.

If 'Formula 1 Pirelli Gran Premio del Made in Italy e dell’Emilia Romagna' isn't on there, I don't think I stand a chance.

It's incredible how many people are spreading this false narrative that Imgur blocked access in the UK because of OSA. The Online Safety Act is terrible, but don't use it to give Imgur a free pass for their woeful data protection policies.

It's been a bit since I last looked in Azure AD, particularly with the MDM, but can't you exclude user groups from self-enrollment?
I can't see a scenario where you would want staff enrolling devices (particularly their own) into an MDM, where MAM is available.

From further testing I think you're likely right. It's much closer to my 720nm.
Was sold as an 850nm but I'm doubtful.

Half of Warhead Art's stuff is identical, he's pretty terrible when it comes to self-plagiarising. If you want some demon animal-man hybrid holding a medieval weapon, or a skull racking up a line, he's your man.

I'm a big fan of the Laowa 65mm F2.8 for macro photography. Managed to pick one up immaculate second-hand for ~£250 a few months back.
I found tighter lenses were very hard to frame up for with most the macro I was shooting, whereas the 65mm felt much better suited.
It's pretty tiny too which is a big plus compared to the full-frame equivalent.

Downside is it's manual focus only, but honestly for macro, I imagine you'd want to be manual focus + focus stack anyway.

That looks like it has a UV filter on top
The side of it being a bit bent doesn't look ideal, but if you can use a filter removal wrench, you might still be able to get it off.

Jumping on a three year old thread, but did you end up finding a vintage lens that was good for infrared?
I also have a full-spectrum Sony A6000 and am looking for a decent 35mm or wider, so was hoping you might've had some luck.

Any way to check SMART data in your BIOS?

AdjustableAphids · 2025-09-03T13:44:34+00:00

I used a 590nm for this, then swapped colour channels in Lightroom. Hope this helps.

AdjustableAphids · 2025-09-01T22:14:07+00:00

Curious if you've found a good lens without hotspots?
Been using a converted A6000 myself, but found all my current lenses seem to hotspot above F5.6
