The article is going to introduce one of my 'new' gear, a 2nd hand NEX-6....
The model lable NEX-6 is clear and solid, which implicated that the condition of this 2nd hand NEX-6 was seldom being used.
The battery with NEX-6 is made in Japan version. And compatible with later Alpha series.
Actually, I was looking for a 2nd hand RX100 as the replacement of my disordered RX100, finally decided to take the 2nd NEX-6 instead, as the price of RX100 on the 2nd hand market is still not really cheap. However, as Sony discarded the NEX brand and more frequency to keep pushing new Alpha model to the market, the 2nd hand market of Sony NEX mirrorless 3rd generation body was dropping deeper and faster than the compact RX100 camera.
Introduce of the double dial should be one of a significant feature on NEX-6 to improve the control ability and more easy to use. However, as users not allowed to define the dial as many of the keys on NEX-6, the flexibility of the new keys and the dial is limited by the Sony firmware.
In addition, as I really love to use the Minolta MC W.ROKKOR-QH 21mm f4, which designed by the special Biogon structure made its tail len too close to the sensor and trigger a heavy light-well effect on Sony A7 large full frame sensor, the photo quality is heavy affected by the effect unless enable the APS-C mode on the A7 camera to cut of the outer frame. Having an APS-C type small camera should make me to fully utilize this special Lens again, and should be one of an incentive to add a NEX-6 on my gear list.
Unlink the A7 with a relatively large body, NEX-6 small body with the Minolta QH 21mm f4 is a perfect match combination. As I am using my only Sony A7II for the photo taking on this review, it could not do the apple-to-apple comparison review in this report. But when I used the A7 for a year and now get back to the NEX-6, my first feeling is so small and not familiar with its compact size. How a ridiculous that I was used a NEX-5N for over 4 years last.
After further testing and checking, it confirmed that this new second-hand NEX-6 is fully working and capable of production now.
Thank you for the Danbo on this unbox review, although it is a second-hand camera, even the original box has already been gone, it is still a new product to me and "unbox" it by some detail checks and personal review.
In conclusion, if it is no necessary need on the lastest function, actually, seeking for a second-hand type camera may be a cheaper and a choice more value for money at all.
