Sony a6300 vs a6500 – The complete comparison

Updated on: June 10, 2017

Sometimes two cameras are so similar that choosing between them becomes an almost impossible task, especially if the two products come from the same brand and series and were released only 6 months apart.

The Sony a6300 and a6500 are two such cameras. On the outside, they look identical. On the inside, the implementation of 5-axis stabilisation and other features could easily lead you to think that the a6500 is worth the extra money. But following our real world tests, we’ve come to a different conclusion as you’ll discover in the following comparison.

Fujifilm 56mm f/1.2 vs. 56mm APD – Quick comparison

Since its release a few years ago, the Fujinon 56mm f/1.2 has been a popular and very logical choice for portraits thanks to its excellent sharpness and smooth bokeh rendering. Not too long after the first version was released, a second “APD” version hit the market which promised a superior bokeh rendering.

Some time ago in Turin, I had the chance to use these lenses side-by-side during two separate portrait sessions with a pair of young Italian actresses, Barbara and Lara. I had used the original 56mm several times before but this was the only time I had the chance to use the APD version and compare it to the normal version. Since I didn’t have enough time to test the 56mm APD in-depth, this article will focus on the main difference between these two lenses: the bokeh.

Olympus OM-D E-M1 vs. OM-D E-M5 Mark II – The complete comparison

Updated on: March 2nd, 2018

This comparison article was originally produced in 2015 for MirrorLessons, the first in our family of websites dedicated to mirrorless cameras. After upgrading the comparison section of MirrorLessons to a brand new website (yep, the one you are on right now!), we began migrating older articles that are still relevant today. We also took the opportunity to update the content by including recent findings and firmware updates.

Though the OM-D E-M1 II is the obvious successor to the OM-D E-M1 and the most advanced OM-D camera to date, this isn’t the first time an OM-D camera has challenged the original flagship. The best example is certainly the OM-D E-M5 Mark II which brought several improvements and new features to the series that made it appear superior in many ways.

Olympus OM-D E-M1 II vs. Fujifilm X-T2 – The complete comparison

Updated on: July 3rd, 2019

The Olympus OM-D E-M1 II and the Fujifilm X-T2 are two of the most advanced performers you can find on the market today, not only in terms of pure image quality, but also autofocus, video and many other aspects. An important upgrade to their respective systems, they further reduce the gap between mirrorless technology and DSLRs, and greatly contribute to the perception of mirrorless cameras as a viable and serious offer, designed not only for amateurs but professional photographers as well.
