Sony A6500
I was looking to do some sensor comparisons and headed off to this fantastic site.
I have been researching Sony A6000 cameras for a bit now, because I am looking for the ultimate street camera. I did have a Fuji XT20 but I had to send that back to Wex because the AF was dire. See how I tried to overcome the problem. Can I just mention that Wex were fantastic and their customer service is second to none.
However back to the Sony 6300. At DXOMARK they measure the image quality of camera sensors, this covers colour sensitivity, noise including dynamic range and tonal range, and ISO sensitivity. The Sony 6300 and Sony 6500 have a score of 85.
This is on par with the Canon 6D MK2. The prestigious Canon EOS-1D X Mark II scores 88, the Canon 5D MKIV 91, and the extraordinary new Nikon D850 scores 100. The list here is dominated by Nikon, Sony and to a lesser extent Canon.
Sensor Comparison Mirrorless Cameras
So how about the competitor mirrorless cameras (priced at around £1000), how do they compare with the Sony A6300 score of 85. Unfortunately there are no recent Fujifilm cameras in the list (I wonder why?)
Canon EOS M6 78
Canon EOS M5 77
Leica T 75
It is interesting reading reviews in which reviewers use their own image quality tests, but on this site it is completely impartial. The numbers do the talking.
Where to Buy Your Equipment
I buy my equipment from Wex because of their exceptional customer service. I once returned a camera after 30 days, and the next day they called to return my money to my account. Their prices are always competitive and they offer good prices on the trade in of your used gear
