Returned the A6500

Some DPR users have gotten lifetime bans from Amazon for this, so perhaps abusing the privilege generates its own personal costs that are incurred by the shopper too.

Personally I think they should give people warnings early on, so that people can curtail frivolous returns before it ever reaches that stage. Or people who are returning too much stuff could be forced to pay their own return shipping or only be allowed to buy Warehouse Deals for certain expensive items or impose other measures to discourage the behavior earlier on.

C&C is encouraged, I'm always learning

I bought from a Sony retailer nearby and paid 10% restocking fee for returning.

They didn't carry a demo unit and suggested I preorder and return should I not like it.

Wow, you sure seem to enjoy buying cameras.

Are these all cameras you bought and used for a day and then returned?

But I see you are still missing several major cameras like the Nikon D810 and anything in medium format.

Your hands are clean.

Nope, sorry to disappoint, but I keep many things I like for more than a day.

Just for my curiosity, are there still people using JPG on such capable camera?

To satisfy your curiosity, yes. Many shoot JPGs with even more capable cameras.

I shoot raw and so white balance is not a big deal or concern. Still, the amibient wb priority setting is no white balance at all which--in nice light--is what i always want. It is another minor, but good tweak on the a6500.

Did you happen to try any of the new Priority Set AWB options in the menu?

AWB White did a great job for me last night.
