Kai, thanks for sharing. I was waiting for A6600 and some new lenses and your vid greatly helped! IMO, still APS-Cs from Sony is less appealing than its Full Frames. When MFTs from Panasonic is compred to FFs from Sony, there are really good pros like 4k60p, 10bit, FHD 180p, crazy IBIS, unlimited recording, the best screen & EVF, and etc by loosing AF, shallow DOF and low light performance. However, when u get Sony's APS-Cs rather than its FFs, you don't get much. The flippy screen, unlimited recording, slightly better AF. Yeah these are good, but definitely not enough. The price isn't good as well since A7M3 is now a bargain and there are many great budget lense options for FFs whereas u have few good budget options for APS-C. 🤔

So little difference, why not just release one or two bodies not three. Why were these held back and not released with the 6400? The lenses are priced out of the market and the body is far behind the xt3. The 2.8 zoom and the 6400 is the same price as the a7iii and the Tamron 2.8 zoom, which is insane! The 6600 should have been the only one released, not the 6400 or the 6100, and the 6600 should have been $1000-1200 at most. And then bump the 6500 down to 799 and the 6300 down to 599. Wow what a strange strategy after a huge success with the a7iii and its aggressive pricing and features.
Same thoughts! I really don't understand the thinking behind releasing so many similar cameras with at best incremental improvements. And especially feeling that the A6100 is an intentionally dumbed-down version of the A6400 just to sell it cheaper. It's such a head-scratcher that I'm losing even more faith that they won't deliver with the A7SIII.
@@ohad.5890 This camera is a let down. The rumors were it was going to be APS-C a9 equivalent. All it has over the a6400 is the better battery and IBIS, all for $500 more.

Amazing camera- only thing I can think of to (possibly) improve it is if viewfinder was able to be pulled out and tilted upwards similar to the add on accessory OLED viewfinder which was sold for some of the original NEX range.

Would rather have a flip screen and pay $20 for the hot shoe adapter, 4K 60 would be nice but the target market of this camera would rarely shoot 4K 60
@@MrMysterybox If a camera falls it's usually to the lens-side of the camera, where a "side flippy" is placed, often not durable enough to withstand the impact will often break, has been a reported problem.

Nice review dude. As always. Some nice small incremental upgrades... looks like they kept it at same point as current A6500. A shame there was nothing revolutionary about it. after nearly 3 years. The lenses look interesting also but expensive and no OSS on the 16-55 means its a fail for videographers. I will see how reports come back but as many other people have said in the comments, not sure its worth upgrading my a6500 - I already have several batteries now anyhow.
The a6600 imo, definitely makes the a6400 a more appealing camera. The battery life in the a6400 is a huge improvement over the a6300 and a6500 with the same battery. And if you use a tripod and gimbal reguarly, than IBIS isn't really that necessary. Not to mention, the IBIS on the a6500 is nothing to write home about. Just something to cater to the non-IS 16-55/2.8.
Carive Productions I have the a7iii and I have tasted the long battery life with the z-batteries, that’s why it’s the most important upgrades for me... 🤣
I’m a Nikon guy using before a used Sony a6300 APS-C camera with only a pancake lens. It’s my preferred go-getter camera I bring as test and preview of my construction projects. I like it’s sturdy sleek and minimalist body design I can pack on any bag - not bulky like my Nikons I secure in camera bags. For me, the longer lasting battery of the a6600 was a huge plus factor to get one and give away my a6300 body along with its battery grip - retaining only the pancake lens. I’m not so concerned with the imaging features considering I have my Nikons.
As a a6000 user. I almost jumped at the 6400 because of the flip screen. Had my fingers crossed for the Z battery, and flip screen. I’m definitely getting this
I was saving up to get a used A7R2 for about 1100-1200, but now... i dunno. I'm kinda interested in the a6600 at the 1300 price point. I was mainly wanting to get something with IBIS since I mainly use vintage primes, but all these extra features are pretty interesting. Does the a6600 have a backlit sensor like the A7II+ sensors do?
I'm upgrading for the big improvement in AF, massive improvement in adapted AF, and much faster silent shutter. Not to mention HLG, bigger batter, and a headphone jack.
can you guys tell me if it really has such a bad battery life? the CIPA rating for a6400 is 400 shots but that is with a flash turned on. Tell me the real deal Thanks!
What’s the startup time of the a6600. I find my a6500 brutally slow when rocking the switch to on before I can take a picture. And leaving it on all the time just drains the battery in no time.
what impress me the most with this a6600 is that it is the first camera to have continuous eye AF in video, will other sony camera also get this through firmware update or does it requires too much compute power to enable that on older sony cameras ?
@@chanuki2195 I've got an a6000 and have been trying to figure out what to upgrade to. I'm thinking a6400 at this point. a6300 doesn't have eye AF, a6400 does. That's big if you're going to do any portraits.
I don't know why, but it looks good with the stepup rings and bigger filters... And Kai, I hope Lok and his family are safe after last nights events in HK...

@@moazzamhussain4332 honestly the battery life isn't as bad as everyone makes it out to be. I picked up four extra high rated aftermarket batteries and I had two left after an entire wedding shoot.

The small USB cable that comes with the camera to charge ( im not sure what its called what type of cable it is) ...is there a longer one that i can purchase somewhere ? The one that comes with the camera is only about one foot long...not good for outdoor live stream where I may need a longer cable.

Not much of an upgrade. Keep it unless you upgrade to an A7 series. :)
That's a lateral move. Wouldn't even move on from the 6400.
Hardly worth the upgrade. Better battery, eye AF, headphone jack and 180 degree tilt screen.
Carive Productions I have the a7iii and I have tasted the long battery life with the z-batteries, that’s why it’s the most important upgrades for me... 🤣
Nice batman (batgirl 🤷🏻♂️) you’re wearing 😃
I’ve never been more nervous than watching Kai vlog by grabbing the lens. What on earth Kai.
I’m a Nikon guy using before a used Sony a6300 APS-C camera with only a pancake lens. It’s my preferred go-getter camera I bring as test and preview of my construction projects. I like it’s sturdy sleek and minimalist body design I can pack on any bag - not bulky like my Nikons I secure in camera bags. For me, the longer lasting battery of the a6600 was a huge plus factor to get one and give away my a6300 body along with its battery grip - retaining only the pancake lens. I’m not so concerned with the imaging features considering I have my Nikons.
I got a6400 for $738 no regrets 🤷🏻♂️
Used? Where did you buy?
jem2017 yes, open box from best buy
got mine for $1300 . bundle has a6400 body + 16-50mm OSS kit lens +legit camera bad + DJI Ronin SC . Body of a6600 on BH is listed $1398 .....
Wayne Chen mine was a6400 body 16mm 1.4 sigma lens with camera bag and a monopod zhiyun crane v2 for $1400
The 16-50 lens is embarrassingly poor...
Omg that rolling shutter 😂 And I was thinking about Sony 🤦
I want one!!! I can't wait!
As a a6000 user. I almost jumped at the 6400 because of the flip screen. Had my fingers crossed for the Z battery, and flip screen. I’m definitely getting this
Well it looks like I can finally upgrade my Sony NEX-6. To an A6500, hopefully those prices will drop
Same!
Wow it's a miniaturized a7iii !!! but with flippy screen !
Love the bigger grip and large battery!
Hi, Does the camera screen/monitor deems when shooting 120fps or 4k in Sony a6600? Thank you!
Why this over an A7RII or A7II or a used a7III?
The price is so huge.
obviously for you, no reason. however everyone is different.
What's your main time job kai??
I was saving up to get a used A7R2 for about 1100-1200, but now... i dunno. I'm kinda interested in the a6600 at the 1300 price point. I was mainly wanting to get something with IBIS since I mainly use vintage primes, but all these extra features are pretty interesting. Does the a6600 have a backlit sensor like the A7II+ sensors do?
Congratz with the rollie👍🏻
I'll stick to my 6500... it's still a good camera and i don't need every technical step forward
same, i've got my a6400 a month ago, not a huge difference, nothing really.
Yeah, my a6500 from 2017 is still holding well. Both physically and tech-wise
In Sydney. They sell A6600 for $2200 Au. While Sony A6400 sales for $1350 au. I’m going for A6400 second hand for sure.
I'm upgrading for the big improvement in AF, massive improvement in adapted AF, and much faster silent shutter. Not to mention HLG, bigger batter, and a headphone jack.
can you guys tell me if it really has such a bad battery life? the CIPA rating for a6400 is 400 shots but that is with a flash turned on. Tell me the real deal
Thanks!
I think Fujifilm X-T3 might be better with 4k 60 fps.
No IBIS & shitty battery life
So true
y X-T3 is top notch in the apsc segment. battery life is quite nice und who need ibis? There are things like a tripod or lenses with IS.....
@@Hornbauer2010 why haven't you bought one yet?
And 10bit
I want to know what camera and lens was used for this video?
What’s the startup time of the a6600. I find my a6500 brutally slow when rocking the switch to on before I can take a picture. And leaving it on all the time just drains the battery in no time.
Ok, *where is the A7S III?*
*where*
Over there
Overheating in the corner.
@@pahwraith Fair response.
Nope, still sticking to my a6300 for a couple of years i guess. Not many reasons to upgrade.
Is it a fast global shutter like A9? Or rollie shutter like all sony crops and stuck at like 1/25 sec vs 1/250 in A9? Silent moving wildlife any good?
Does it maintain real-time tracking in 4K even when the hdmi-out is in use?
Expensive... Can get a good used A7iii for that much. UPDATE: Watching the announcement, should only be $1400 on release, not so bad.
I’ve never clicked so fast
I might be wrong, but when you flip the screen up, you cannot see it fully, right?
what impress me the most with this a6600 is that it is the first camera to have continuous eye AF in video, will other sony camera also get this through firmware update or does it requires too much compute power to enable that on older sony cameras ?
It's really good but I don't justify the price. Can buy an a73 + Tamron 28-75 for roughly the same price as the a6600 with this new 16-55 f2.8
I still love my Sony A6000
So thanks but no thanks
Im planning to buy a6300. Is it worth it or a6000 is good enough for photo/video? Thanks
@@chanuki2195 I'd go for the 6400...you can get it for about 850-900 nowadays..
@@chanuki2195 I've got an a6000 and have been trying to figure out what to upgrade to. I'm thinking a6400 at this point. a6300 doesn't have eye AF, a6400 does. That's big if you're going to do any portraits.
Alright! 18-35mm art is my workhorse right now. Cant upgrade to full frame because of my lens line-up.
I couldn’t agree more. The a6000 has the best 1080p. That’s all it’s needed for CZcams really.
2:54 that dynamic range is soo goood!
I don't know why, but it looks good with the stepup rings and bigger filters...
And Kai, I hope Lok and his family are safe after last nights events in HK...
Really glad I bought the a6400... 🙄 jk overall really happy with the a6400 and don't think I will switch to the new one
Andrew German I’m debating returning mine, but maybe not since the price makes the a7iii look like the obvious better option
is the battery really that bad? how much shots without flash?
I own the a 6500, and i am going to sell it to help me pay for the sony a7 R 4. We all know new cameras come out so i saved $2k in a year. I will probobly not buy one of these low end cameras again. My profession is not a pro photography. Its just a hobby
@@moazzamhussain4332 honestly the battery life isn't as bad as everyone makes it out to be. I picked up four extra high rated aftermarket batteries and I had two left after an entire wedding shoot.
@@tbucsclw1 thanks for the feedback!
Sony a6600 vs canon 90D which is best for photography n videography
I would go toward the Sony a6600 because Canon does not has in body image stabilization or 4k at 24fps.
Sony. The 90D is just lacking in video big time. No 24 fps, no log profile.
Sony all the way
Note: The a6600 is more expensive than the 90D. The a6500 is more price comparable.
Which is the best sir kai w
I had a question: I am going to live stream using my A6600 camera. The
small USB cable that comes with the camera to charge ( im not sure what
its called what type of cable it is) ...is there a longer one that i can
purchase somewhere ? The one that comes with the camera is only about
one foot long...not good for outdoor live stream where I may need a
longer cable.
This is the camera that makes me want to hop over to Sony
I'm gonna buy an a6000 next week😅
A6000 is great. It's what I am using :)
Good plan.
what price do you think they will drop to?
Dont worry except for the lack of in body stabilisation it's all you'll ever need for hobbyist stuff or a beginning pro or a B cam
Get an a6100 instead. It will have better auto focus, better colours, and flip up screen. It's more expensive tho
video just cut out lol ? not his normal endings but ok
The telephone boxes are on Kingston upon Thames.
Does cannon have some kind of patent on a flip screen design? How come no one seems to have the camera flip out to the side like Cannon does
