I make a habit of turning off spotlight almost entirely. Search never returns what I want anyway, and the juice isn’t worth the squeeze.

Go into preferences, spotlight and you can add folders to exclude from indexing. I add my home directory and most of the system directories and that more or less fixes the issue.

Yep I second this. I have a K1 (I think) with blue switches. The switches are the most important choice - since that controls the entire feel of using the keyboard. When I first got mine, I got red switches. But red switches don’t give you any tactile feedback when it passes the threshold to be considered “pressed”. I swapped to blues and I love them. Very satisfyingly clicky. They’re a bit loud though. Swapping switches is easy - I think the replacement set of blues just set me back $20 or something.

If there are any computer shops you can go in person to try them out, I highly recommend it. They make a lot of different switches and the feel is a very tactile, personal thing. (Though I think I’d also be happy with yellow or brown switches after some time with them!)

What a weird choice! An FTP client implementation is tiny.

I guess they figure FTP uploads are mostly used for professional sports photography, and they don't think people will buy the a6700 for that. (Or they don't want people buying the a6700 for that sort of professional use.)

Nice work in any case. My cameras have FTP, but using sony's remote protocol seems like a lot more fun. Its probably more reliable, too. (And I wouldn't be surprised if you can do more advanced stuff with it, like download low resolution proxies before downloading the high res images).

Nice work! I've wanted something like this while shooting, since people want to see what the photos I'm taking look like and all the software I've tried seems kinda bad.

Does this work better than the built-in FTP client software in the cameras? I've been tempted to just run an FTP server on my ipad which automatically shows all uploaded photos.

Sometimes four out of five doesn't cut it. Thats like claiming my car is an electric car because "they both have batteries and motors". Or like saying C is a functional programming language because its a programming language that "has functions".

The defining characteristic of SLR and DSLR cameras is the reflex mechanism, which is a giant mechanism inside the camera that sits in front of the film or sensor. The mechanism uses a mirror to allow the viewfinder to work. And the whole thing needs to physically flip out of the way when you press the shutter button to expose the film. But as a result, SLR / DSLR cameras are usually way bigger physically to make room for the mirror and the reflex mechanism.

Mirrorless cameras like the A6700 don't have this reflex mechanism, so they're not DSLR cameras. They're called mirrorless cameras. Same as the cameras in our phones.
