Re: Has anyone bought an EA-50M??
 

I'm curious about the EA50U vs EA50M also.
The description of the EA50 (original) says, "NEX-EA50 features a new Exmor APS-C CMOS sensor.."
and the description of the EA50M says, "It inherits the same versatile semi-shoulder mount design from its predecessor--the NEX-EA50UH--but adds an updated Exmor APS HD CMOS sensor.."

The low light specs match on the B&H site and it seems nearly impossible to find information comparing these two cameras so who knows?

I'm thinking about buying a second one.

I can answer my own question on the canon lens macro. It does not look like it will work and even if it does, the motor drive will cause problems. Says TV zoom but that was a long time ago and a very different camera.

Took forever to find that answer but finally found a page where someone had actually made the transition.

It would be nice if Sony would finally let the specs of the new model out...

Hi David

I would say that Steve will be a far more reliable source as to whether the sensor is vastly different than Sony. They might have put in an improved sensor to compensate for the slightly slower F4 stock lens but really who knows?? The only official change that sounds correct (apart from the different lens) is some firmware that allows you to use the grip trigger to record to the SD card and the top handle trigger to record to the FMU drive (assuming it's fitted)

Steve? I would have thought that Sony wouldn't leave an exposed sensor either ... If it does have a protective layer it's pretty good ... So when you do a sensor clean you are actually just wiping off the dust on the top protective layer then???

My cams are also just over 2 years old ..They released them here in December 2012 and I bought one in January 2013 and one in February 2013 ...Wow time flies!!!

Hi Chris. Good to talk to you on this board. I used to be a member on this site a long time ago but I guess my old login expired so I had to start over.

Yes Steve will be a great source regarding the EA50 versions :)

I'm especially curious as to how they compare with the same lens in low light

I started a new thread to compare the two cameras:

Expecting to receive an EA-50M by next week.

Me and my friend have a pair of Sony a6000 cameras, the EA-50M will be used for long-form events mostly.

My own exposure to professional video cameras was a borrowed Canon C100 on a week-long event.
