I recommend ZVE10, that camera is not more expensive than 6100/6300 used. It has colour profiles and Catalyst Browse gyro data stabilization. Your handheld videos will be much stable on ZVE10. On the hardware side it has mic input, headphones output and side flipping screen. Oh, the notorious overheating problem is solved with ZVE10 too.

The 6100 is supposed to give better skin tones. Taking pictures of toys doesn't really help show that.

Put 6100 in instant mode of focus... I have this 6100...focus is way more better than yours...

Good video :)

What settings did you use for the s-log?

Also I heard it's the exact same sensor... Only live eye-af and tiny bit faster.

Maybe you could recommend me - I'm interested in learning cinematography (I study independently) and I'm debating between these 2 cameras - which is the best to buy? I have the option of buying the a6100 - new, or the a6300, at the same price - but used for about two years. Very indecisive which one is the best for shooting video and short films? Because the a6300 also has the option of s-log, which the 6100 does not have. I would be happy if you could help me!

It’s hard to hear you. Definitely get a good mic mate
