Mathieu of MirrorLessons compares two of the most powerful mirrorless cameras with an APS-C sized sensor, the Sony a6300 and Fujifilm X-Pro2.

Until recently, only high-end video cameras permitted frame rates of 500fps (PAL) and above but Sony changed that when it introduced the 1-inch sensor RX10 II and RX100 IV. Both cameras are capable of shooting 2-second (quality priority) or 4-second (shoot time priority) clips at 100fps, 250fps, 500fps, and even 1000fps, though the higher speeds will result in a decrease in image quality.

When you imagine a digital camera, what is one of the first things that comes to mind? If you said the rear LCD screen, you wouldn’t be alone. All of today’s digital imaging products, from low-end smartphones to high-end camcorders, come with a screen of some sort to preview your image in real time.

The a6300 is Sony’s latest APS-C offering, and builds upon the already impressive performance of the a6000. Although it has more or less the same design and 24MP resolution as the previous model, everything else about the camera has been upgraded, from the build quality and viewfinder resolution to the autofocus performance and video capabilities.

The past two days saw the arrival of firmware updates for the Fujifilm X70 / Fujifilm X-E2s and the Sony A7r II / A7s II.

These are exciting times for fans of legacy film lenses. Since the advent of mirrorless technology, photographers have adapted their old rangefinder and manual focus SLR lenses, but there have remained some wonderful optics that were for the most part, off limits.
