a7 for sure. I have heard the a6000 overheats and shuts down when recording longer clips

You're comparing a $1,300 camera with a $600 camera.

Dude price isn't everything. The nikon d4s is 6 grand and the sony a7s is 2 grand, but the a7s is gonna kick the d4s's ass every time in the lowlight and video department. The A6000 is a badass little camera.....
.......for sports photography. No one is gonna use an a7 for professional photography of high speed sports. Same as no one will use the a6000 for professional video.

Why are you comparing a camera aimed at video and low-light to a bulky allround monster of a professional camera with a AF systems that makes Sony cry and of which most users will never even use the video mode?

The fact that you are asking this question proves that you missed the entire point.

A7 man. Make the move and get one you've been talking about it for a while. You won't regret it.

No because it's a comparison that makes no sense, you might as wel compare an Alexa to the A7s and boost about the formers dynamic range.

Different tools for different jobs.

Aaaand you still missed the point, I am quite aware of the intended uses for the D4s and the a7s, which is exactly why I made the comparison. Because it's the same as comparing the a7 to the a6000. You can't compare the a6000 to the a7 on price along because they are very different cameras with two different intended uses.......like the a7s and the d4s......

Maybe, or maybe people just like to jump to conclusions so they can get offended.

No.

D4 sensor is a Nikon design produced at Renesas.

I'm looking at getting an a6000. I'm not some crazy photog or anything, just a guy that skis in some sweet places and wants to take a good camera everywhere with him. I don't have a store nearby to actually hold this camera so I am curious about portability/size. I assume it slips effortlessly into any back pack but is it realistic to ski with it in a big jacket pocket?

Sorry for the thread jack. hope you got the camera you want.

the size is going to depend on what lens you have. The a6000 camera body itself is very compact and great for video, but you can mount a number of different lenses. most of the lenses will probably be bigger than the camera body unless you get a pancake prime lens
