Hey everyone! The Sony a6100's price has come down, and it's finally time for me to pick one up myself! In this video I go over all of the features of the Sony a6100 has that the Sony a6000 doesn't have. I also go over why I myself am buying a Sony a6100, and also why the Sony a6000 is still a great camera too. The Sony a6100 is on sale via B&H with a great student discount. The a6100 is on sale on Amazon too for $150 cheaper than when it launched. Hope you guys dig the video, lots more to come now that I have a dedicated filming area! Thanks so much for your support, and I really hope everyone is staying safe out there.

Great video! Learnt a few new things :)
I own the a6100 about 3-4 months and I love it. Great quality, fast autofocus and capable of adding a lot of things. Definitely would like more videos about this camera :)
Was looking exactly for this ! Thanks
Watching to support my boy! For some reason I thought you had already got a 6400 but guess not. Kinda surprised you didn't want to go with that instead but you have other options already so I get it. You're gonna love the lens and look forward to your review of that as well.
Good to see you again. Love your new space. Lots of new info. Thanks.
Thanks Jim! really appreciate it.
A6100 is a gem. You’ll love it.
Awesome info my dude! Ive loved my a6000 and at some point plan to upgrade to a7iii.
Very explicit, always love your review, from Lagos Nigeria🇳🇬.
Thanks you Akanbi!
great video,you have a bright future in youtube...keep going brother
Thank you so much 😀
I won't be upgrading anytime soon, but If I could, the one feature I'd love is the flip screen. I was on a trip, trying to take selfies and just opening the lens as wide as possible, shooting from my arm's lenght and checking, then repeating... Would be so much easier with the flip.
Great video, i decided to return my a6000 for the 6100, thats a lot of features
great video!
New to the channel but had to sub for a fellow Kyle! Have been debating getting the 6100 for some time. Think you just sold me! Would appreciate a complete tutorial video sometime in the near future if you’ve got the time! Congrats on the new place.
Thanks so much fellow Kyle! All my videos now are shot on the 6100. 😊
Hi Kyle, In addition of what you've said, just mention that you can shoot a time-lapse with the internal tool of the a6100. You also can do so with the a6000 if you have the play memories app. BTW it is a shame that none of the apps are available for the a6100 :(
Congrats on the move! I'm gonna miss your living room though. I notice the lack of intro, are you working on a new one? I'm seeing lower prices for lenses as well. The SEL35F18 dropped in price on Amazon. Your content is important now more than ever due to current events. I find myself having more time to do photography. it is therapeutic and good for mental health. Happy shooting and stay safe!
thanks! I knew this video was going to be longer so I didn't want the intro in it as well. I'm hoping to make a lot more videos now, but it's also a time where I'm unsure even myself. So time will tell! stay safe laughing man!
Yeaaaa! Happy new home! We all wanna have invitations to your wedding!
Hahaha thanks Michelle. 😊
Hi Kyle,
We are looking for a camera for both video and photography. I'd use the camera to take videos and photos inside of a factory. I'll have a tripod, but when I just record handheld, I want the result not shaky. My choices are M50, A6000, A6100. Great color profile, crystal clear results are kinda what we are after. Which one would you recommend? Or any other camera you might think of.
Thanks!
Great one again, I will be getting 6100 as well, mic input and unlimited video recording are the crucial parts 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
So crucial!!
waiting from a very long time,,,,,good job bro
Hi Kyle,
I am a beginner in photography and I wanna buy a camera. My use for it is to take product photography and headshots. Do you recommend the A6100 or A6400 or another type of camera?
Thank you!
Wow! look at the animal eye AF, Sony still doing good job on autofocus.
Thanks for the video Kyle, really enjoy it.
Nice video!
Thanks!!
Thanks for the video Kyle! I want to use my new camera (whichever one I end up buying) for live streaming too. Does the A6100 have clean HDMI?
It outputs to my monitor (best view 7”). Unsure if that’s “clean out” or not. I imagine it is. The a6000 is popular with streamers
Congrats on 28k mate.
Appreciate it Pup.
If I would get it for the student price tag I wouldn't wait to order :D but sadly I'm not a student and not from US either

Its easy to get great color balance on the A6000, I use the Kelvin color balance app built into the White Balance menu (I never use the presets). This allows me to tweak the color balance easily. You get the hang of this pretty quickly. I set white balance to the programmable C1 button for quick access.
Thank you for showing the B&H A6100 price. It is currently out of stock and cannot see the price. Hope they re-stock soon.
Your doggies are beautiful. I like your videos, very informative. Thanks.
Glad you like them! Thanks!
Good video
I also use a portable battery charger on it
While shooting with that you can record till card is full👍
I love mine with the 30mm and 16mm sigmas

Hi Kyle! Great vid. I'd just like to comment about the build quality issue you mentioned in the video, where you showed that you can shake the lens mounted on the camera. My A6000 does not exhibit that behavior. The lens is solidly mounted and does not move at all when forced. For what it's worth, I bought it only last January, and on the bottom it says that it was manufactured on Oct 2019. Perhaps the build quality issues you mentioned were fixed by Sony, we just don't know when.
Quite possible. Just going off my own experience. Thanks for watching!
Thank you for this video.. i was confused which one i would get to those 2. Lol now ive decided to go with A6100 ☺️
Nice! Thanks for checking it out
I just bought the a6100. Massive upgrade from the a6000. I have the ability to shoot 4K on that camera now.
Boom!
Maybe for video. For photos, the cost to upgrade isn’t worth it.
@@joshuathomas4934 I own both. For new prices sure.... FOr used prices the 6100 is way better. It's only usually 100-200$ more. It's autofocus is much better.
awesome review I'm between these 2 for Streaming and Recording which one would you recommend more?
a6100 for sure
Thanks for the help !
thanks for watching!
Hey man, great video! Hope you are staying safe :)
Thanks! Hope you’re safe too!
Now I regret returning my a6000, should of just keep it and buy the lense later, now I can't even afford to buy the base 😭 but soon I'll buy back one
you'll get one before you know it!
Hey great video man! you sold me, just bought it!
Sick!! Congrats!
@@kyletaggart Good job man, great quality videos and sweet content man. I just subscribed 👏👏👏👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
Recently upgraded to a6100 when it was on sale for $548 (body only) at B and H photo. One thing I noticed right away was the start up speed - much snappier than a6000 and auto focus is much better. Flip up screen is a bit fiddly but it does the trick when you need to check framing and focus. Addition of the mic jack is fantastic, but now of course I’m wishing I also had a headphone jack to check the audio!
What about image quality? Is better than a6000? and colors?
@@danielurenabenitez2777 hey! The colors are better on the 6100 in my opinion but I still like the look of the 6000 especially for black and white with vintage lenses
Slightly. It’s the overall feature set, screen flip, video specs, etc. the color science is slightly better, and the low light noise is slightly better.
thanks Kyle, I just got my a6000k a few months ago and I love it but for the right money, I would upgrade to the 6100. Thanks for the info.
Lots of good with the upgrade. The price has to be right!
For me it's double the price
Be sure to keep an eye out this holiday season.
I have the a6100 and it's a step up over my old NEX-5n. With a family, I don't have time to vixeo edit or mess around sony picture profiles. It's been awesome the colors are similar to my DJI osmo pocket, so it helps alot in editing both together.
That’s awesome to hear. I love my a6100.
Congrats for new place.
thank you so much!
Why nobody adresses the main advantage about the 'silent shooting' is that... it doesnt affect ur shutter counts.. which helps to last u camera longer.
What would you say you prefer using or for image quality.? M50 or a6100
Do you think a sony a6100 small rig cage will fit the a6000 they look vary similar just curious
I'm still using the a6400 I rented from lens rental and it prompted me to go ahead and order the a6100 for my studio camera. I couldn't decide between the two so i also grabbed the m50 renewed from canon for $350 with the kit lens. Great video brother
thanks! good luck with the new gear!
Trying to think of any students I know that could buy the 6100 for me. Wish they would give a senior discount. ☹️
Hey brother need your help, can you please suggest me which is the best camera from these 3 options sony a6000, canon m50, canon 200d mark ii my use is both photography and videography.
Or if you have any camera options under this budget then please suggest me
A6000 for the price (if it’s cheapest).
I picked the a6000 couple of days back because of a tight budget and I really didn't want to go with canon or Nikon as I was previously using the a5100 and my lens system was of Sony. Do you think I did the right thing considering its 2020? BTW I saw your M50 vs a6000 video and the "a6000 in 2020" video as well before buying. So far I am happy with my decision but I wanted a second opinion and I guess theres no one else I could go for that.
Don't worry, it's still a good camera, my friends use older dslrs, just learn all the tricks and use it to the fullest :) BTW someone said that you shouldn't compare your photos with other photographers but every day you should try to take a photo you'd be proud of
so basically the sony a6100 is a rebrand of the sony nex5n ... they brought back all of the features only differntce is xvac instead of h.264.. more megapixels and thats it..great video .... great camera
Do you record the audio externally and then combine it in post?
I used to yes, up until fairly revently (maybe the last 2-3 videos) I stopped doing that. I used to film with the a6000, and use the H1 zoom mic, and sync in post. Now, I film with the a6100, and use a rode video micro and it puts the audio and video into one file.
I got a6600 is manific camera perfect battery and grip too I hope enjoy it a new A6100 is the littler brother of the new series family the best has it is he port for mic and flip up screen. Be well stay at home my friend. Greeting from Florida.
Stay home for you as well! Thanks! The a6600 sure is a beast.
Thanks boss,
Love from Italy. Today I have seen 50 video to buy a Sony. Sony 6100 is better.
Interested as to why the A6100 and not the A6400. At the moment, the price differential between them is £130. I appreciate that is a decent amount of money but it seems like a good idea to wait a while and save up the extra money.
I don’t need the filming profiles. 🤷🏻♂️
Hi! Just want to ask how is the performance of a6100 Out of camera with the kit lens?? If not so great then is it fixable in post?
Between a6000/a6100 and m50 im still leaning towards the image quality of sony for a long-run camera.. just thinking about that out of camera image quality.
My preference for image quality from the kit lens is the M50 straight out of camera, no editing. Of course it depends on the lens. The kit lens on either camera is good, I think ppl trash them too much personally. You may have a different preference than me though. Once you get into photography and have a camera that is capable of having other lenses, you may find yourself graduating to other lenses to satisfy higher quality needs. Sometimes that can be a $30 manual lens or a $300 auto focus lens. The one thing the 6100 has that the others don’t, which is incredibly cool, is the auto eye AF for both people and animals. If you love to photograph animals or people the 6100 is far superior.
Thanks so much! I think Im going for the a6100 as Im planning to photograph my kids a lot.
@@tashacamilleenerio-valdez3927 sweet!
why no a6400?
Lens giveaway pleaseee ❤️
I am looking for a camera only for still photography. Which one I should buy between this two? I really don't have any requirements on video. Please suggest me.
a6100 is overall better - just depends on your budget. If a6000 is better for the budget, go with the a6000.
Does the a6100 share the same battery model with a6000?
Yep!
I feel bad because I just got my a6000 and I’m already looking at which body I want to get next 😂😭
Gear addiction is REAL 😂
I've been using mine for almost 2 years now; I've just started thinking of another Sony camera as a backup, a6100 is newer and better but for that price I could get a6000 and VILTROX AF 33 mm F1.4 lens
Does the a6100 have touch to focus via smartphone remote app like a6000?
The a6000 doesn’t have touch to focus via any app (not that I’m aware of). I’d have to test the a6100.
Please tell me which is better camera for videography and photography both Sony a6100 or Canon m50 mark ii ?
I'd prefer the a6100. That's just me though. You may like Canon better - the camera is a bit easier to use, however once you get used to any camera they're easy. I think you'd be happy with either one!
@@kyletaggart Okay...Thank you so so much ... I will go for Sony a6100 for sure .. ☺️🙏
U Compare low light photos with 1600 iso in a6100 and 3200 iso in a6000, ofcourse it will have more noise!
Because that’s what the camera chose in aperture priority mode. Same lighting conditions, and the a6000 pushed the ISO up a lot more than the a6100.
Kyle - are you familiar with the a6400? If you compare that to the a6000, when buying new, wouldn't you go for the a6400? Isn't the only reason to go for the a6000 the lower price on the used equipment?
The 6100 has features I need, and I bought it used at $550 plus used amazon credit card points - so I paid $350 for it, and when it arrived it’s basically brand new. Not a scratch on it. I don’t need anything the 6400 offers that the a6100 doesn’t - like video profiles and a tougher body. ✌🏻
@@kyletaggart does the a6100 have the same image processor as the a6400 which supposedly has the processor from the higher end Sony cameras
@@damongupta4266 to my knowledge yes.
Only thing for me would be touch focus(would love that), and I use 6000 for b roll due to no microphone jack, dont have problem with shooting time on 6000...who needs continuous shooting(over 30 minutes) most of my videos are between 5 to 10 minutes...saying that I would buy 6100 at student price:) until then 6000 will do me!
I use the a6100 for photography and shooting for my videos, sometimes I shoot for an hour, although it’s easy to stop and start, the overheating would bite me sometimes.
@@kyletaggart What do you shoot for an hour? I record videos at music gigs but just a couple of songs or highlights not the entire gig!
These CZcams videos! They’re not scripted. Most aren’t an hour of film time, but I definitely need more than 20 min.
Just bought a new 6100 as replacement for my 6000. The first thing I noticed was how TIGHT my Sony prime 35mm and 50mm fit. Almost to the point of scaring me. Hope this isn’t a problem waiting to happen...
Nope, the mount on the a6000 wasn’t made the same. It should be tight. My a6100 is the same way!
Is the 6100 worth $250-350 more than the 6000? I'm having trouble deciding.
Hmmm. Maybe not. I absolutely love my a6100 though. If you so both video and photo, and you’re using it to side gigs, I’d say get it over the a6000. Mic port, touch to focus, 4k, flip up screen, eye af in continuous focus. However if you’re just shooting photos, I don’t think $350 is justifiable. That’s enough for a great lens to go with an a6000.
@@kyletaggart I'm having trouble because I'm not familiar with lenses. I found a a6100 that's only $230 more, but it only comes with 16-50mm f/3.5-5.6.
The a6000 comes with that, but also
Sony E 55-210mm F4.5-6.3. Should I go for the 6100 and buy a better zoom lens separately (several hundreds more total)? I'm completely new to cameras.
Btw thanks for replying.
Lenses, make the experience. The saying goes - invest in good glass. I think if you have a chance to get the a6000 with both kit lenses vs the a6100 with one kit lens it’s not that huge of a deal. I’d go with the a6100 and the one kit lens, then the next money spent could be one whatever lens you need. But if you can get an a6000 for $230 cheaper ans use that $230 towards say…the sigma 30mm f1.4, it would be a great start. The kit lenses are a lot easier to start with than a prime/fixed focal length lens like the signs 30mm though.
Again, if you’re not doing video, and you don’t need touch screen, and would rather put the $230 towards lenses, go with the a6000 and the combo. If you want newer features, touch screen, better video options, then go a6100 with the kit lens and save for the next lens after you dive in and figure out what’s next.

Had an a6000 for 3 weeks. Great camera but sadly half way through my honeymoon i got the "camera error, turn off and on" notification. Totally dead. Had to send back and don't really want to risk another a6000. Considering the a6100 to see if sony have sorted this problem.
Well, you must have bought a faulty unit, I've been using my since June 2019 and I've taken thousands of photos - I work for a local web portal and I go to concerts, exhibitions, conferences and so on - and I only saw a warning that the camera "doesn't use this accesory" a few times although I mainly use sony 18 - 105 g lens but after a while the camera worked as usual, I wonder if it can be caused by moisture - the camera isn't weather sealed and today for instance I had to take some pictures while it was raining, I changed lenses twice and there was the warning
Is the rolling shutter terrible for Sony a6100? Is that really matter?
It’s bad, but almost every mirrorless camera has it. I don’t really think about it anymore.
Hi Bro, i am dinesh from india, after watching this video i bought the a6100, but i dont see the slomo 1080p and 120fps in my camera, could you please help me out..

@@thedinezh87 boom!
You sold me that 6100!
Nice! Hope you enjoy it
Nice material, but you could also mention what was missing in the a6100 and that was in the a6000. This is so little that it can be said in 15-20 seconds - you don't need to make a separate movie about it.
A lot of differences between the two. My channel in the last few years have revolved around the a6000. Kinda just a video for my to talk about it, my thoughts, what I think it would mean for others etc. but thanks for watching.
@@kyletaggart As with most people on this planet, I cannot speak English and therefore apologize in advance for any translator mistakes. When it comes to the a6100, I meant that it lacks a neutral image profile and sensor cleaning mechanism. I dared to admit that this film is also a great opportunity to tell about what it lacks against the background of the a6000 because there is very little of it. How would I tell you ..., it may happen that your movie is watched by someone who thinks that the lack of such a brief information about Sony's taking a step back is an indication of a lack of objectivity in discussing a newer model. Anyway, I support your films and thank you for your reply.
You used kit lens?
A6000 😊
Would the a6100 be a downgrade from a6300?
Kind of a lateral move.
Is it true that the a6000 is better 1080p quality than the w6100?
Not in my opinion. Although I haven't examined with a detailed look.
I would recommend the a6400. You get a better viewfinder, better build quality, some weather sealing and picture profiles for not so much more money. The buffer is slightly deeper too.
I don't need any of those things, however the 6400 is a very attractive option!
Did you buy it unde EDU program I purchased my under that program is save for student and teacher too.
Deciding. I dont have an option to do edu so I’m weighing my options.
Hey I’m a current college student, where can I receive an edu discount?
@@brycenhiga3635 www.bhphotovideo.com/find/eduAdvantage.jsp?origSearch=edu
Bro nice apartment and I’ve got a question: should I buy a6100 or 6400??
if you're going to do more serious video work (music videos, short films) the 6400 is the way to go. If not, then the 6100 is perfectly fine for anything else.
then what's the difference between A6100 and A6400 ?
Log profiles for video shooting is the big difference. It’s weather sealed I believe, or more weather resistant.
Sony a6100 vs a6400 Which is the best Camera...?
If you sh w the extra $, the 6400 is, but not by much.

@@rianapienaar2090A sidegrade, really. You will be losing your better built body, better evf, and picture profiles for the a6100's color science and new AF (human + animal eye AF), and tilting screen. So it depends on your priorities... and your wallet
ruelle41 Thanks! The improved eye AF and touchscreen is attractive but will rather stick to my trusty 6300 for now.
@@ruelle41 the a6300 is better for video maker and the a6100 for vlogging especially
Depends on your needs and when you have a a6300 I wouldn't dare touching the a6100 only if you get it cheaper or for CZcams reasons.
difference is 4k .
just get to the point homie
Why not love my comments? You regret not buying the a6300? Lol
Huh? Nah I prefer the 6100 over the 6300.
@@kyletaggart For what reason though? I always fear that the low build quality will also affect the result so i chose the a6300 over it for the premium body and feeling:) Im also a videographer so the a6300 is better for me.
