Swandog7What's up camera gods. I'm trying to get into more "serious" photos and videos and would be in a great setting when I go off to college next year. I'm not an expert in cameras, but have a decent idea what I'm doing. I was thinking of getting an a6300 that I could keep for a couple years and help me progress my knowledge and still have a quality camera. What do you guys think? Been finding them new for $899 body or right around there, and would add a lens or two. Other suggestions, comments, thoughts?
Swandog7Think I might pull up on a A6000 this week sometime. Anyone else got some last minute advice, recommendations , testimony, etc?
Swandog7Settled on the A6000 with a 15-50 and a 55-210, going to pick it up next week. Super stoked!

Goonsquad_Prod.You can upscale the 1080 to 4k in premiere and it still looks crispy.
eheathhuh?
Goonsquad_Prod.You can upscale the video you shot at 1920x1080p at 120 fps to 3840x2190 at 120 fps and the video will still look great. Normally when up scaling lower resolution video, on most cameras it either looks like the native resolution you shot at, or it will look worse. Check out YCI Imaging on youtube, He upscales most of the music videos he shoots in 1080p and they all look amazingly sharp still.
eheathI don't believe this, at all. Upscaling is not an option to 4k. 720p to 1080p, sure, but you're taking something and stretching it to something 300% bigger. Also, you can't say its sharp at 4k unless you have a large 4k monitor, 15" mbp doesn't count.
Goonsquad_Prod.Yeah, true. Upscaling high mbps 1080p video to 4k does end up looking a little bit better than just 1080p though, its not an insane amount better, but I'd say its a little bit better. I've done it shooting at 1080p 60 @ 200mbps on my GH4 to fit a little bit of slo mo video into a video that I mostly shot in 4K, and you can't really tell the difference between the 1080 @ 200mbps and the 4K unless you really pixel peep, or have a 4K monitor. I guess what I was trying to say is upscaling to 4K is nice if you shot 90% of a video in 4K, but had to go back down to 1080p for some parts to get slo mo, since the a6300 and GH4 can only shoot 4K natively up to 30fps.
eheathYeah if you're never going to view the video on a 4k screen, you probably cant tell and at that point you might as well downres everything to 1080p. Unless you're poppin out $1k for a 4k TV thats a decent size or rocking a $800 4k monitor thats at least 30" you cant really tell. So in the end, 4k delivery is still not here, not worth stretching pixels IMO, but I would bet in the next year or two we will see an explosion of 4k monitors and TVs in houses.
