Sony Alpha A6100 vs A6000 Comparison | Which one to buy ?

Sony has recently launched A6100 APS-C mirrorless camera, the successor to A6000 and A5100. If you have been waiting to get a new camera or wanting to ditch your DSLR and jump to the trendy mirrorless world, A6100 is one of the best cameras you can go for. However, how much better is it from the first gen Sony A6000 ? Which one to buy ? A6100 or A6000 ? Let's analyse.

 As of this writing, Sony A6000 is priced at $548 ( with 16-50mm kit lens ) while A6100 has a price tag of $848 ( with same 16-50mm kit lens ). So there is $300 price difference between these two. Is it worth getting A6100 over A6000 ?

 Advantages A6100 has over A6000 | What's New
  • A newer gen 24.2MP sensor
  • 4K recording support
  • Flip up screen - 180 degree Tiltable
  • 425 points (phase-detection AF) / 425 points (contrast-detection AF)
  • Eye AF for Stills
  • Interval Recording to create Timelapse (1–60-second interval, 1–9,999 shots )
  • Touch supported LCD screen
  • Latest-generation BIONZ XTM image processing engine
  • 120fps slow motion support
  • Mic jack
  • 1:1 aspect ratio support
  • Bluetooth support
Similarities between A6100 and A6000 | What hasn't changed
  • NP-FW50 W-series Rechargeable Battery Pack ( the expensive A6600 has a much better Z Series battery )
  • Same resolution EVF ( 1,440,000 dots )
  • Same resolution TFT LCD screen ( 921,600 dots )
  • Same design and ergonomics
  • Pop up Flash
  • No IBIS ( Lens based image stabilization is supported ) 
As you can see, both these cameras have a lot in common. If you want great Auto Focus performance with Eye AF, and plans to shoot a lot of high quality selfies and vlogs, A6100 is the one you should be going for. If you are only interested in shooting stills, especially Landscape photography, older A6000 would serve you well.

[ FIX ] Ubuntu 20.04 Bluetooth doesn't Turn On

I have been using a Logitech Bluetooth keyboard for a while now with my Ubuntu 20.04. Everything worked well without any issues until one day the operating system refused to turn on the Bluetooth. I could toggle Bluetooth On button from the Settings, but it did nothing.  After spending some time Google Searching why my Bluetooth started not working all of a sudden, and after trying a variety of commands to troubleshoot the problem, I finally found a working fix for this issue. Open a Terminal ( Ctrl + Alt + T )  and enter below commands one after another.  sudo rmmod btusb sudo modprobe btusb That's it. Your Bluetooth issue would be now solved.  I can guarantee you this problem is going to pop-up every now and then. So copy the above commands to a text file for future uses. Sometimes, even after entering above commands the bluetooth would refuse to turn on. In such cases, just Suspend the system and then wake up it again and check.

Reduce External Monitor Brightness on Ubuntu 20.04, 21.10

External Monitors are a great addition to any workspace. I have a Full HD Benq one connected with my laptop via HDMI cable to do multi-tasking. What I don't like about this setup is the external screen is still very bright even after setting it to the lowest possible setting via physical buttons present on the monitor. Changing brightness on the Laptop doesn't affect the brightness of the external monitor. However, In Ubuntu, you can adjust the brightness level of any connected monitor by opening up a terminal/command line and entering a few comments. Xrandr is the command we would be using to achieve this. How to change External Monitor Brightness on Ubuntu Linux Open a Terminal ( Ctrl + Alt + T ) Enter the command xrandr -q | grep " connected" and press Enter. Find the external monitor name displayed in this command's output. In my case, it is  HDMI-1 To change the brightness enter this command xrandr --output HDMI-1 --brightness 0.5 and press Ente...
