    Today I’m going to tell you about the Sony A6400 and help you decide whether it’s a good value. I think it’s one of the best Sony cameras on the market as far as features and value. I will discuss the A6400 sensor, processor, and autofocus for both photography and video. I’ll show you #sonya6400 tons of photo samples, and we’ll talk about dynamic range and low light performance (night shooting)
    We’ll see how this new flip screen was implemented by Sony, and whether it was a good choice.
    I will also include A6400 4K footage and several example of slow motion shot at 1080P 120 fps.
    I’ll talk about other features like interval shooting, discuss the ergonomics of the #sony #a6400 as well as the battery life, viewfinder and some things that frustrated me about this camera.

    Thank you so much for this in-depth Review, I was trying to find a suitable cam for my overhead drawing videos and I think this one is the best among all. It has all the features I need, like flip screen, HDMI out, Microphone jack, charging while recording and most importantly NO 30min limit for videos which is AWESOME!!!

    • @TechGearTalk
      @TechGearTalk  Před 4 lety +7

      The lack of 30 minute recording limit is so big for artists! You can always record externally, but it's nice to be able to do that in-camera.

    UPDATE: I have seen reports about the a6400 rates for both 360 and 410 shots depending on your settings.
    What's up everyone?! I hope this review of the Sony A6400 was helpful. Did you like it? I wasn’t sure I was going to like this camera but it’s a great value. The image quality is excellent, I love the no recording limit, and the autofocus is fantastic. As usual, I love the slow motion and appreciate this first attempt at a forward-facing screen (I wish there was an articulating screen).
    Was there too much detail? Not enough? What did you like, and also, what did you not like? What would you like to see more of? Would love to know what you think, good or bad. I am grateful in advance 🙏

      The a6400 is super impressive and has great slow motion and no record time limit. Here is a comparison of the two: czcams.com/video/0UKL-Frb_fM/video.html I hope that helps. You can DM me on IG if you have any follow up questions.

    Thank you for this excellent review! I am looking for something not too complicated and easy to carry around. I bought a full DSLR years ago, which is way too heavy for me to lug around. After a series of point and shoot cameras I figured I really need to compromise and get something a bit heavier for more options. My current camera is a Canon G9X - which fits into my pocket but is just too limited for my purposes. I have to spend way too much time in photoshop in order to get the photos I like. Plus. My iPhone takes better photos than my camera. It looks like the Sony A 6400 might be the one for me!

    Also there are extremely powerful image upscaling tools out there that could easily allow you to increase the resolution of the images taken from the camera if you need to print out something extremely large like a large bill board for example! Also the extremely detailed photos also contain enough data to make the upscaled images look extremely sharp without any noticeable defects! :)

    I was actually surprised about the performance of the Sony A6400. I use it beside my Sony A9 on the Sony 100-400mm 4.5-5.6 for some Wildlife in case I need the extra reach. It is better IMO than using a Teleconverter. So far so good, the IQ is good enough in this case. And the Autofocus is super good. Well done, Sony.

    • @TechGearTalk
      @TechGearTalk  Před 5 lety +2

      I completely agree with you. The images are fantastic, and I prefer the APS-C sensor to a teleconverter as well for extra reach.
      I was not expecting to like it this much because of the price, but I think it's an absurd value.

    Before I bought my 6400 I agonized over the lack of IBIS. However when I grab a camera it's always the 6400 over the 6500. I've had zero problems with the lack of IBIS even though 3 of my six lenses are not stabilized.
    The focus system, especially the EyeAf and tracking are so good.

    Ok, so I’ve been searching for this info literally everywhere and I’m glad that you mentioned it - you said that the a6400 can be powered while in use? Does that mean that I can use a micro-USB cable to power the camera while recording? I just ordered an a6400 along with a DC coupler because I was hard pressed when it came to finding this info, but I just want to ensure that I can film for an unlimited time on the camera without a DC coupler and using a micro-USB cable? Thanks so much for the video, and apologies for the questions :)

    • @TechGearTalk

    • @toxictabasco

      Yes, I understand that the Sony a6400 SERIES cameras are better than Micro Four Thirds. I did some milky way panos with a Micro Four Thirds, and the Sony is suppose to be better for Image Quality (so they say). Thus, this new exciting camera should be the ideal camera for astro if you have the right techniques. With the right prime lens any low light situation for video or milky way is very possible.

    • @kirostar12
      @kirostar12 Před 4 lety

      I suggest you buy a real Astro camera with a sensor cooling technology like ASI 1600 MC. In summertime to be able to cool -45C the camera sensor is a big benefit and much less noise on your astrophotos.

    • @iamwisdomsky
      @iamwisdomsky Před 3 lety +2

      But it does include a micro-usb connector and you can just plug it into any phone chargers lying around in your house to charge.
      This actually makes sense because you only have 1 battery out of the box and there's no point in removing it from the camera to charge when you can just charge it directly via usb.
      You would only need to remove your battery to charge when you have multiple batteries, hence also the reason why the battery charging docks sold in the market normally have 2 slots and not 1. You'd rarely find third-party battery chargers with only 1 slot.

    • @natfingerboard
      @natfingerboard Před 5 lety

      Both are 3.5 to 5.6, so I would get the 18-135, it's bigger but it's a lot more versatile.

    • @TechGearTalk
      @TechGearTalk  Před 5 lety +2

      Depends on if you value the extra 2mm of width or the extra 85mm of telephoto.
      I agree with @nathan Carrille that the 18-135mm is more versatile - but it depends on whether you’ll actually use that focal length. What will you photograph?

    • @godofhope
      @godofhope Před 5 lety

      In places like mountains you will cry for 16mm (or even more) So having the 16-50, I mean a good one!!! is IMHO essential. It can be bought on eBay for very cheap. But you have to be lucky to get a good sharp one...

    This video was exactly what I was looking for! I purchased the Canon M50 over the SL3 based on another video. I was thinking about returning/swapping it for this a6400 model, but based on this, I’ll stay put. The only reason for the hesitation was low light. It’s something I really want, for sure. Trying to make sense of features and take a decent photo has been intimidating, to say the least! Haha The trade off for ease of use(being a newb), I’m probably better off staying course with the M50. I GREATLY appreciate the info! Keep it up!

      Tech Gear Talk I agree with the video - nothing is logically laid out. Settings should flow. If you’re setting a camera up for video it should start with format and data rate. It should flow to picture profile. Then focus settings - manual or auto or some combination of auto. Steadyshot or not? Then exposure. ISO, shutter and aperture. Then white balance (you want to be properly exposed for white balance). Finally audio levels. Whether you format the media card needs to be separate so you don’t go into autopilot and format the wrong card but it shouldn’t be buried on page 3 of the suitcase menu. I haven’t used the A73 much for stills. The review is correct in that once you have the camera set up it’s less of a problem - although I still find annoying things. Like turn on proxy recording in 4K and you lose focus peaking and zebras. Super annoying. Not because it’s a processor limitation (which it is) but because nothing tells you what’s wrong. You have to discover that for yourself. I think BMD has the best menu system.
