Love the way you explain those concepts, easy to understand, thanks.
Thank you!
Simple yet detailed reviews, love format of your videos especially that you don’t use music, it’s much better this way
Thank you!
Nice video! Waiting for your Tamron 17 28 lens review
Thank you! Unfortunately, I have ordered one a long time ago, but it still not in stock anywhere in this country.
Best review I have seen on the A6400. Detailed, to the point and no waffle. Amazing job!
Was debating between the A6400 and the 90D (mainly because of skin tones and colours as I owned a 70D). But the footage from the A6400 looks amazing!
I think my mind is made up. Great job!
Thank you, if you care about 4K quality A6400 is definitely a better choice.
I watched many reviews of the a6400, and this was the best one for me. Excellent work, thank you very much, and keep it up!
Thank you!
I got the a6400 as an upgrade from an iPhone 6s and Kodak Zi8. It's my first 'real' camera since high school and it took awhile to appreciate the difference I'm getting. Though I got it primarily for video, the stills are much better than I'd expected. It doesn't have the low light performance of a full-frame camera but I'd still consider it usable for night imaging. Basically, I like it more than I thought I would.
The lens we've attached is the 18105G and, while it suffers from barrel distortion, it's a very versatile constant aperture zoom with good sharpness and color rendition. For video, I wouldn't trade it for the 18-135 kit nor a prime as an only lens.
Yes, the camera is small but I immediately put it in a SmallRig cage with a wooden grip and the ergonomics are basically perfect for me. I don't mind the video record button placement since I can easily actuate it with my thumbnail. The back button currently serves as Touch Tracking/Touch Focus toggle and, since I never use manual focus, that button has been reassigned as well. Battery life is completely adequate for my needs so far.
The menu is admittedly not the best but once you have your My Menu set up, it's really not a problem in most cases. I haven't uploaded any videos using it yet but I'm really looking forward to it. Very satisfied with my purchase and, for the $500 difference, more expensive battery, lack of current availability, and probably lackluster IBIS, I don't regret the fact that the a6600 is coming though I'm sure it's great for someone who needs its features.
The diety de pro on the apse bodies is what I'm saving for right now! It looks beautiful
Excellent review!
Thank you!
waiting to upgrade from my a6000
Thanks for the video. I really like your style. Do you think it worth to switch from a6500 to a6400 in terms of video and color?
Very great review, I was hooked from start to finish!
Thank you!
@@TheHybridShooter I will be getting my own at the end of the month after selling all my canon gears. haha! I hope I'm right with my decision lol
a6400 or rx100 va? I really like the small form factor of the rx100 for travelling but on the a6400 you have so much more options..
For me A6400 hands down. If you get it with 16-50mm kit lens it is not that much larger and it will still provide better results.
@@TheHybridShooter thanks and great video btw :)
Listened to your advise and did my research. Now I’m so considering A6400 instead of Panasonic LX100 ii, LX 10 or Sony RX100VA as well as Canon G7X iii. Thank you again for the recommendation.
Would you consider making video comparisons of different lenses for the Sony APS-C sensor?
Thanks for your hard work putting the content on your channel together! I'm an XT3 user and love it but recently picked up the 6400 as I wanted to experiment with the 120p with audio which only Sony has as far as I know. Can you please share your PP for photos for the 6400, something that will get close to classic chrome film simulation on the Fujis, thanks again!
You're welcome, yes, audio recording works when shooting 120p on Sony cameras. For out of the camera pictures I only use PP off, I shoot and edit RAWs in Luminar which has a lot vintage filters for that kind of look.
Waiting for the Canon M6 II and the new Fujifilm X-A7 reviews.
So am I.
As a Sony A6000 user I would prefer the X-T3 sensor over the A6600 as a better upgrade.
No more "hello my friends"😭
Oh yeah! We need that.
I'm assuming the battery life can be helped via USB and a battery bank like the cameras since the A7xII and the A6300?
What would the benefits be coming from an A6300? Unlimited recording, flip up screen, colours, more reliable AF in video, touchscreen... anything else?
Good reviews friend!
Thank you!
Great review, I just bought the a6400 online I'm just a little afraid to not take stabilized photographs
Love your content..just wanted to ask your personal on opinion..for professional work would you go with one of these camera or the A7iii? Professional work would be a variety of wedding films, photography and music videos. So need something versatile but best value! Thank you and look forward to many more videos!!!
Thank you, I would definitely go with A7 III if possible, it is also better investment.
The Hybrid Shooter thank you very much! Appreciate you 🙏🏽
Good review. For travel videos and family videos I'm considering to buy the A6400 and not the A6600, but I'm concerned about the lack of IBIS. Do you think the A6400 + gimbal + OSS lenses would produce the same results of the A6600 + gimbal + OSS lenses or the A6600 +OSS lenses? Thank you.
If you use stabilized lens, IBIS is not that important on A6500 or A6600.
@@TheHybridShooter Do you mean that A6400 + stabilized lenses + gimbal will produce a perfect stabilized footage?
@@stefanodezottis1621 "Perfect" footage always requires skilled gimbal operator no matter what equipment you use, but it can provide very good results.
@@TheHybridShooter Thank you
I'm wondering exactly the same thing! Which camera did you go for? And do you like the stabilization? I'm leaning towards the a6400 at the moment....
Considering the price, this camera is probably the best value on the market today, considering what this camera does. Given its size, and what it can do, this camera gives micro four thirds cameras a real challenge, except for maybe the GH5 for video. The price is the key. For less than half the price of the A7iii it is an incredible value. But, in my opinion, Sony only needs one camera in this catagory, given the ever increasing shrinkage in the ILC camera market. The A7iii battery, decent IBIS, and leave the rest alone for just under $1000, and Sony would own this segment. Only one camera to support, plenty of infrastructure and lens, Sony couldn't make enough of them to satisfy demand. Still, the A6400 is probably the best balanced camera Sony has made to date.
Yes, the price is really good, especially in the US. Making such camera would be against their corporate strategy, so we probably won't see such camera.
@@jomsies Only single digit cameras get mark II names.
I just got a Sony A6400 with 16-50 kit lens. The lens was extremely soft along the left side of the image so I got it replaced. Original lens was made in Thailand, replacement was made in China. Chinese lens has quite low serial number so I am curoius if the lens has been made long time ago or this is a new factory?
I think they should improve the aesthetics and ergonomics of the a6xxx series. Btw is the 1080p still so bad as the 6500?
Bad 1080p on Sony is mostly a matter of settings, both A6500 and A6400 have very good 1080p with right settings.
@@TheHybridShooter So what is the best video setting for most detailed 1080p30? Is it better to shoot in 4k and then downscale in PC to1080? Thanks
Definitely, shooting 4K and downscaling makes a huge difference.
hi, if you had to choose one camera , would you choose a7iii with tamron 28-75 or the new 6600 with the new announced lens? thanks and nice video!
Definitely A7III with Tamron.
@@TheHybridShooter thanks!!!
I want to buy the A7iii or the Alpha 6600, but I can't make up my mind.
Is focus tracking really such a big advantage? The camera should mainly be used as a family camera. It is important to me that eye AF works.
The Sony Alpha 6300 was often not bright enough for me (sigma prime numbers), so I think of the Alpha 7iii
I definitely recommend A7 III. It is much better camera and better investment. AF is great on both.
Shoould I get the xt-3 or a6600? I'm looking to do photography as a hobby and haven't owned any system before except an old Nikon 80d. Also, money wouldn't be an issue for me. I like to do photography and record video on vacation of my family.
X-T3 or A7 III will be better choice in that case.
The G9 would perhaps have been a good one to include, its price being so close to the G95?
Thanks, as always great video!
Yes, it fits into the price category, but it is much larger than these vlogging / travel pronsumer cameras, so I don't think that it is a direct competitor.
@@TheHybridShooter ah good point!
I’ve had both. G9 little better for wildlife and more video features. 1080p looks better. Ibis better. Other than that I like the a6400 better because it’s so small. That small grip curves in well and you can hold it with one hand pretty easily. I can deal with the battery life when doing photo only. But the autofocus and being able to just set it up on a gimbal or do vlogging is so amazing. This was my main purpose for this camera. I think it is the best B roll/gimbal/vlogging camera out there. Especially if you record audio externally. There is no headphone jack however.
This camera is a little beast for gimbal work (bright display=no monitor needed) and interviews or weddings (unlimited recording time and you can frame your client better or check if everything is good, thanks of the flippy screen)...with 3k you can buy two a6400 with 2 sigma primes (backup camera advantage + 2 angles films) instead of one a7iii + Tamron 28-75
I would definitely save up and buy A7 III + A6400 instead of two A6400. Full Frame and APC-C E-mount combination has a lot of advantages, I will make a separate video about that.
@@TheHybridShooter I agree for photography, but for my needs with video work I get more advantages with two a6400 ;)
Combining Full frame and APS-C is the real benefit and huge advantage of Sony E-mount, as I have said, I will make separate video about that.
I love it!!
I am a beginner photographer. I am into day as well as low light portrait photos mostly. I rarely do videos. Iam planning to buy a6400 and sigma 56mm or 30mm f/1.4 but having no stabilization on neither body nor lens is bothering me.
Is it right move or not to go for no stabilization on lens &body for the photography i do?? Will it affect much having no stabilization??
If it doesn’t affect then it’s fine but not.. Should I go for other lenses with OSS or buy a6600 which is at $1200 and the sigma lenses???
Hope to get some good suggestions.
It definitely makes a difference. For your use, Sony A7 II might be a better option than both.
Hello sir, which you recommend about this combo, a6400+35mm f1.8 or a6500+sigma 30mm f1.4 i prefer a6400 but no IBIS, because of that 35mm better than sigma lens?
Probably A6400 + 35mm F1.8 OSS.
Then whats your favorite lens for sony apsc camere sir?
question is GH5 or sony A7 111 is the best video camera?
Depends on your preferences.
Missed the "Hello my friends."..
Great review as always
Can you please do the new Canon 90d or m6 mk ii ?
Thank you, I'm not sure, I would have to buy those to review them and I am not too exited about either at the moment.
Is the battery life that bad for stills only? How does X-T30 compare in the battery department?
It generally bad on both.
@@TheHybridShooter How better is battery life on A7 III compared to these two?
Sonya6400 or fuji xt30
For the quality of the photos. What is the best?
Fuji X-T30.
The Hybrid Shooter really? I sold my a6300 to get the a6400. I want to be able to do video and photo. Can you also compare with XT-3? Thanks
If the xt30 had flippy screen and unlimited record then it would be future proof... for a few yrs at least. That's why I'm considering the G9.
Yeah, the G9 is a great value with FW 2.0
I suggest you make a comparison between continuous autofocus before and after the firmware update
mine was 100 % accurate
now it is less than 30_40%
I advice no one to update the firmware
There must be some other problem. FW update definitely doesn’t decrease autofocus accuracy.
anyway it's a good subject for a future video isn't it ?
@@shandeer1 I don't think so to be honest, newest FW was released a long time ago, so most users already have it installed anyways.
@@TheHybridShooter OK
I like your videos
keep up the good work
First!
Congratulations!
THS- great comparison, looks they are all great cameras for the average person. All comes down to their budget
All are great cameras, but they still haven't made that one perfect camera.
Kinda sad you don’t say hello my friends anymore lol
I do, but not in every video.
3:10 wait a minute :D Is it Pozsony? :D It definetly looks like it is :D For some reason I belived you are spanish.
It is Bratislava, only Hungarians call it Pozsony.
@@TheHybridShooter so it is :D Im from Hungary, so in our language its Pozsony, but dont missunderstund me, I respect that you call it Bratislava. (germans call it Pressburg, if Im right) :D But set aside this, Im very glad that a fellow european, a neighbour so to say did a review, on this fantastic camera, even comparing it to the X-T3. Im struggling to choosbe between the two camera. And I just found out, that you did a lot of reviews of the X-T3. I belive it will be very helpful! And Im also glad, that most of the footages tested for these cameras, show this beautiful city!
Are you from wakanda?
I am from Gothem.
To me, comparing the a6600 to XT-3 does not make sense as the XT-3 body is about the same size as the a7III. If I don't mind carrying a larger camera body, I would had gone for the FF and not APSC camera.
Size is definitely not the only thing that should be considered.
hundrid, kategory
?
A6600 over priced just because of extra grip and bigger battery. And not worth it at all. Ibis is crap in this model.
Not anymore, you can get it way below initial price now.
That sensor in the Fuji is about 1 stop noisier than the one in the A6X00. So mehh
It absolutely isn't. It is at leas 1/2 stop cleaner.
Nice Video! For me there is a decision on the new Sonys (6100/6400/6600): I will buy a new Sony of this series o n l y if it has full variangle real TOUCHscreen. So I hope for another Sony...
It has real touch screen. If you mean touch optimised UI, that won't happen anytime soon.
Yes, but I mean Touch handling like Smartphone or Canon displays. For me it is a necessary Option to have. Hope, it will come some day.
6yr old body Sony please change it!
