Nov 12, 2013 In this tutorial, I show you how to control your camera through your computer with selected Sony cameras. Tethering is available only on the following cameras: - DSLT a99 - DSLT a58. Hey guys, I'm trying to decide between these two mirror less cameras that have recently been announced. I'll be buying the camera mid-april and I was wondering which camera you guys would buy. I'm a beginner photographer so I thought I'd ask reddit. Both seem to be at the exact same price point. The A6000 seems to have better specs while the E-M10 is a metal body. I'm not sure which one to get. I'm not going into photography with the mindset of having it become a huge hobby. More for just taking photos when I go out or travel. I'll most likely buy 1-3 lenses besides the kit so the broader range of lenses in the microfourthirds ecosystem doesn't mean all that much to me. Tough choice Tough choice - both excellent cameras, and it's unlikely you'd be disappointed with either one. The Sony has got the bigger sensor, but the pixel size is almost identical (the Sony pixel size is 1.04 x the Olympus pixel size), so low-light capabilities should be very similar. You'll be able to get larger prints from the Sony, and crop more if necessary, but the file sizes will be considerably larger. If disk space and/or your likelihood to do much post-processing are important, then these factors are considerations. You mentioned that you weren't intending on making photography a major hobby. Either one of these cameras could change your mind on that, but if you want a camera for taking out and about, then I would say one of your biggest considerations is how it feels in your hands. Go to a shop and spend some time handling both these cameras. Try and familiarise yourself with the controls you'll use the most. You'll get a lot of 'high-end' and perhaps less relevant advice on this thread from people who are very serious about their photography. Photography is a major hobby for me too (and a source of occasional petty cash), but my personal advice for you is that you need a camera that makes you want to pick it up every time you head out of the house. The Sony is a very compact number, although either will sit easily in a small backpack. I currently have an Olympus and a good friend of mine has a Sony, both of which bear a similar comparison to your 2 choices. Both excellent cameras, but we each prefer our own just because they're right for us. I know that's not helping your decision, but the point I'm making is that either of your choices is excellent, but it has to be the right one for you, and you can only know that by getting your hands on them. I have a Sony NEX 6 (which the A6000 is replacing), and I've been totally happy with it. But Olympus owners love their cameras, too. As others have said, for your purposes, you'd be fine with either camera. The primary advantage of the Micro Four Thirds format is lens selection -- which is important only if you plan to buy a lot of lenses, of if you know you'll need certain specialty lenses. If you only plan to buy a few, then Sony has the bases covered. Good lenses are expensive, as I'm sure you've discovered. By the way, Best Buy currently has the NEX 6 on sale for $600 with the 16-50 mm kit lens. I paid $800 last November, which was a drop from the previous $1,100 price. The A6000 with lens will be priced at $800. If you're on a tight budget, which I believe you mentioned you are in another post, then the NEX 6 is a great deal. Yes, the A6000 is the latest and greatest. And will be until the A6100 or whatever comes out in another year or two. The Sony seems to base at ISO 100, while the Olympus does so at ISO 200- having the base at 100 will help a lot when you're shooting in bright sunlight. The resolution is almost 16MP for the Olympus vs 24MP for the Sony. That means that photographically, you can throw out 30% of the Sony's image and get an equivalent image- that's a lot of room to crop out things if you need to. The Sony also has a higher frame rate if you're shooting action and want to try to capture an instant- 11fps vs 8fps and twice as many frames per second shooting video- 60 vs 30.
