  • In this video, Diana and I put the A6400 to the test on the las Vegas Strip. There are some improvements on this camera that make me believe this is a better camera than the A6500! More of my thoughts in my next video!

    When I started photography in 1976 my image stabilization was a tripod. I was still using a tripod when I retired in 2011. If the lighting is to low and you don’t want to raise your iso then you will have to use a tripod or at least two hands to help steady your camera.

    Wow. This is a very insightful video. I love the fact that you actually did the whole shoot outdoors on field as opposed to many others who do a lot less field work and prefer to work from the studio and show very little from behind the scenes. Keep up the good work.

    Can you please compare the color science of this a6400 vs an older a6000/a63000/a6500 (doesnt really matter they are the same) in your next 6400 video? I know you can change colors in lightroom but for us beginners it matters to start with a fairly good color base. I would love to see comparison images.

    1:40 I like the fact that you do not dismiss that little bit of flare in the lens. Many photographers tell you any flare is bad but then it comes down to your stylistic preference. I love little bit of flare too in my opinion it gives the image authenticity.

    Love this video! Thanks for taking the time to put it together, I know it’s a lot of work! I love that lens, use it all the time. Initially I bought that lens and paired it with my A6000 and used it for a few months so I understand how it can be a little awkward with smaller cameras. Lol. Now having it on my A7iii, it’s incredible!

  • @jettlifeproductions
    @jettlifeproductions Před 5 lety +2

    As odd as it sounds, when it comes to the a6500, I think the ibis benefits more on the photography side than video. And the a6400 still seems more stable than the a6000 even though neither have ibis...or maybe I'm just projecting.

    Feedback: Anything involving the creative process is appealing. For myself the interest in your videos is in your realistic and down to earth approach. I like your work so it’s a bonus to see videos of you working your compositions and hear your thoughts on how and why. Your vision is likely very interesting to most of your subscribers because it’s what essentially is the vehicle by which the end product starts. Keep up the good work.

  • @photographerjonathan
    @photographerjonathan Před 5 lety +1

    that location had so many possibilities, I would have tried having her on the corner of the metal thing the flowers were inside of at 2:23 and shot at a low angle up at her, or shooting down the side of the big flower pot like at 2:58. or shooting down that cool curved wall of glass with the metal bar at 4:00 maybe curved because of the go pro, or at 5:43 there was a silver wall behind you with cool shadows on it. but I am not totally sure if the warped perspective of the go pro was making me see things different than if I was actually there.

    The more I think about it - the closer I am to deciding on an A6400 as my second camera along with my A6500 for a 2-camera still photo setup. The form factor and price point are swaying me in that direction along with the great new lenses that Sigma and other companies are producing for the APSC E-mount cameras.
