Sony a6300 1.10 Update Fixes Overheating in Stills Mode, but what about Video?
I had a feeling Sony would address the overheating issue with the a6300 and today looks to be the day. Firmware 1.10 is now available to download and install HERE.

Rokinon Announces a New Autofocus Full Frame 50mm f1.4 Sony E Mount Lens
Just announced on Rokinon’s Facebook page a new line of autofocus lenses in Sony E Mount. I think this is a great decision to go with the E Mount since we need more options. Well maybe not in the 50mm area. Almost to many in that focal length. Rokinon has really stepped up in the […]

I’ve updated this post twice since it was published so if you’ve already read it go to the bottom of the post starting with UPDATE header for new info. I’m not sure the faster cards are helping.

SmallRig Cage for Sony a6300 a6000 First Look
I’m still on the fence about keeping the Sony a6300 but I ordered a SmallRig cage for it and it arrived today. Some people think it helps prevent or prolong overheating in 4K but I don’t think it will. I did a little test this morning and it still overheated in 4K at 78 degrees […]

Extreme Measure to Stop a6300 from Overheating.
When I first saw this video I thought it was a joke but it’s not! I applaud the ingenuity, but if I rolled out with a giant red PC fan on the back of my Sony a6300 I think I would get some head scratching looks. This goes to show how ridiculous this overheating thing […]
Testing the CAME-TV Single with Sony a6300 & 16-35 F4
I have a shoot this Friday and I want to use the CAME-TV Single with the a6300 but the only image stabilized lens I have that is wide is the 16-35 f4. It’s a fantastic full frame lens and that’s part of the problem. It’s very heavy and full frame doesn’t give me that much […]
