mferencz: Putting a patch on a flat tire is not some sort of bridge camera between photo and cinema. It's a compromise based on a shortcoming.
Does it really need all that awkward design just to put an extra switch and its circuitry? Well... looks like it gets hotter than all others, so it needs active cooling fans... maybe they should call it a Video camera whih can also shoot stills ( with the flip of a swich! ).
I wish it would have macro capability and also offer a Sony E mount option...! That would be perfect.
Sony is still the BEST! The others have had good development but are all still a bit or two under the llevel of a Sony...!
That's great news! I still have some excellent A-Mount ( both Sony and
Minolta ) lenses which I use with LA-EA3 adapter, so no AF. Anyway, I'll only buy this new LA-EA5 when either Sony releases a FW for A7II/A7RII so they can also use it, or upgrade the adapter's FW to cover the A7II/A7RII also...!
I moved to Sony since its beginning with the DSLR A100 in 2006. I never looked back, and never had any regret! Now I have Sony's RX100, RX100VA, A7II and A7RII, plus a multitude of lenses of several brands, including Sonys...
Very tempting specs and shouldbe an optically very good performer, although still a bit heavy for a small mirrorless camera.
aegarcia: I read elsewhere the comment that camera makers of 1" cameras are targeting the same consumers. False. Canon with the G5x iii is targeting consumers with $800 to spend while Sony with RX100 vii have consumers who have $1200 to spend. I for one do not even bother looking up the features of a $5000 cameras because not having that kind of money for a camera I would just be wasting my time. As I said before, comparison must be apples with apples. Its common sense that for $1200 one gets a better AF system than if one only had $500.
Features performance and/or reliability on cheaper cameras sometimes are rather limited.
Continuing from my previous comment, we must bear in mind that colors are a deeply personal taste preference, so much so it will always be a very debatable subject (surely depended on lenses)! The advent of Digital image sensors have made it so easy to adjust the image colors to one's like, exposure, distortions, etc, that IMHO the debate has become "philosophical"!
Good review. However, I don't think it's appropriate to end up stressing about other camera brands as a better choice for having a better kit lens! This is a Sony A6100 review, if other cameras are to be mentioned/glorified this is a Comparison Review. I've dealt with photography for over 50 years, both as my main hobby or in assigned pro jobs. That’s given me the opportunity to use several brands of cameras, lenses, etc. I mention it because I keep reading about Sony's color not being very nice. I've moved into Sony since 2006 (A100) and since then all characteristics of Sony cameras' (as every other brands as well) have improved tremendously. With the A700 Sony achieved a mature IQ overall, including colors!
IMHO, those are two completely different "animals".... ( I actually hate phone cameras )!
LFPCPH: WOW - over 600 comments in a few hours. What does that say ?
Obviously by being the greatest camera seller in the world, all their customers are always expecting for their "next best thing"...! Otherwise a lot more "jumpimg ship " may happen.
Lucas_: The compact size revolution started by Sony with the A7xx FF series is relentless...
What I meant as a "compact size revolution started by Sony" naturally was for FF cameras with their Axx series! Smaller sensor compact digital cameras have been around obviously for quite much longer time ..!! Anyway, I rest my case - this talk has become useless and boring.
Cheers and happy shooting!

The Sigma DP1 was a quite nice camera, though the sensor was not FF like Sony's A7, but a bit smaller than APS-C size ( 20.7×13.8mm - 3-layered Foveon ). As for the Leica it was an FF rangefinder camera, heavier and a bit larger than the A7.
vscd: Now please put every new tech together and make a fantastic BSI CMOS fullframe with IBIS for the 5D Mark V. I think the 5D-line is still the most beloved camera from Canon and quite a few people are waiting for it. At least I want one. Sick of all those mirrorless wannabes. Have tested quite a few but still nothing for me. But of course this could depend on my personal taste.
Make it also mirrorless!
Lucas_: I see no need for a 32MP over a 24MP if the image quality is equivalent, IMHO a 36MP would start to be an advantage... !
Noise is my main concern, I hope Canon's tech can overcome it.
dumpsterfire: So the DSLR isn't dead after all...
Not yet, although IMHO its demise is imminent...!

hhhmmm... very little more, if any.

Does this Canon uses Sony's the famous 1" sensor from the RX100 xx ... series?
