I bought my A7 for $250 secondhand, and my first full-frame lens was $20 (vintage SMC Takumar 50mm F1.4). And yes, the A7 is better than the a6000 in pretty much every way that you can think of. For photography, I think the original A7 is one of the best and most budget-friendly cameras a beginner can buy. Also, when you are a beginner, vintage lenses are awesome. They cost a fraction of modern lenses and they will teach you so much about photography. So yeah, I totally don't share your opinion.
I completely agree with your opinion. I have been using the a6000 for more than 2 years now and I am still improving my photos. I think to really use it to its full potential there is a lot to do...maybe the desire to change is more psychological. It's like if you ride a very powerful bike and you make it go full throttle on the straights and that's why you want a more powerful one...but in the corners the one who rides the bike well with less power goes harder 😉. Thanks for your great advice as always. Bravo!
I totally agree. Social media, peers, and general psychological pressure drives us to buy the latest and newest. The urge is very strong but the fact is, we can still create lots of amazing content and learn new things even with slightly outdated tech. Keep on creating Dali!
I’ve been using the A6000 now for about 6 months. Recently been looking at upgrading to the A7c. As a hobbyist I love the smaller form factor, but full frame with the some of the newest features of their other bodies.
If you feel like you have been grown out of A6000 then a nice compact Full Frame is gonna be very good, fresh start. A7C as far as I know is pretty brilliant. Don't forget that you will have to invest some cash in Full Frame lenses, but if you stick with the hobby, its gonna be worth an investment. Cheers!
I just picked up an A6300 a few weeks ago. Love it so far. I have an A7 also. I absolutely loved it, but my auto focus no longer works. All I can say is that I took some epic pis on the A7. I need to shoot more on my A6300 to say which one is better.
While the budget argument is definitely valid, i'm not sure i totally agree with you. I got into photography a couple months ago with an A6000 and APSC lenses and i quickly ran out of light. The small sensor can't carry as much light, the ISO capabilities are pretty poor (don't bother going above 800 ISO), the dynamic range and the color depth isn't great and the lack of IBIS doesn't help. I also realised that the vast majority of sharp lenses are FF too (exception being the Sigma primes for APSCs), so pretty much all of my lenses are FF ones. Only advantages of these APSC cameras are the size, the autofocus performance compared to similarly priced FFs and the price of the body which is fairly insignificant since you're gonna spend way more on lenses anyway. Just my two cents from someone who wished they went full frame right away.
Hey Dede, I totally agree with your argument and you make a very valid point for yourself. However, the majority of the people doesn't get to outgrow their gear for years and years. Most beginners never even shoot at night or any challenging environments and heck, doesn't even dare to shoot RAW. So for most, it would simply be an overkill to start off with such big investment as FF camera and FF lenses as chances are that they will be using the camera each weekend at best. And I was in your shoes once too. Bought my very first own camera (most basic Canon 1100D) and outgrew it in about 7 months as I took over 30.000 pictures going out to shoot every single day. But most beginners are in a different situation than us. Cheers. Appreciate your feedback.
Great to see you back in action, buddy, I did miss your videomaking. And yeah, I agree with you on this subject, although I don't really have any experience with an a7 cam. PS: The studio looks fantastic
Thanks a lot for all the kind words brother. Its great to be back and awesome to be in this studio - it is very efficient which hopefully will result in more videos :)
Been using the a6000 for quite a few years now. Recently came across a cheap A7II and thought i might upgrade (could have sold my a6000 for $100 less than what i paid for the A7II). After using the A7II for a couple of weeks I’ve concluded it’s just not worth it. Sure it has IBIS (but then so do most of my lenses) but the weight and size just aren’t worth it for me, and the loss of 11fps down to 4fps seemed like a bigger downgrade than anything I gained from full frame. So I’m back to using the a6000 and will put the money towards a f/2.8 Tamron 70-180 instead.
I get you. I used to have A7II too and although at the time it seemed fine, now I understand there were lot better options out there. If your budget allows, I can’t recommend A6700 enough and to stick with apsc. The Tamron lens is also really nice. I got the 17-70mm f2.8 and am loving it too!
the only thing i dont like with the a6000 is low light capacity, only eye autofocus in singleshot and no face/eye animal auto focus, but for a beginner that just wanna see where the photo's takes you is nice, but would recommend an a6400 or an a6600. but yes aps-c over fullframe, smaler package with the camera and lenses, love my combo with tamron 17-70 and sony 70-350.
Hey Lasse, yeah a6000 of course is a bit outdated, but luckily most of the beginners never find themselves shooting in darkness so thats a plus for the camera 😀 And hot damn, thats an amazing combo. Would love to have that set. Get a Sigma 30mm f1.4 or Sigma 56mm f1.4 prime lens and its gonna make your setup a dream one for sure 🔥
As I beginner, I want an APS-C and I want Sony (because the AF). But I wish the strengths of the A6xxx series could be combined with the newer ZV features: A ZV-E10 with the new menu, rolling shutter improvement, EVF and maybe even decent IBIS in a better build, but with the cool gimmicky features like product placement and instant bokeh, as well as direct USB for live streaming. Very nice, concise presentation. Subscribed and thanks.
Thank you Arthur! I would still get ZV-E10 now if I would need to get an APS-C camera. Rolling shutter I dont think is such an issue as I personally never pan like crazy in my shots to cause that defect. Regarding IBIS, well, sub 1000$ wont have it but luckily ZV-E10 has gyroscopic data that you can use to stabilize the footage. Anyways, lots of cameras to choose from. I hope you will find your perfect one 💪
The thing is that in my country you can get secondhand a7 cheaper than a6000 and if you're lucky the a7 ii for the price of a6300. The entire 6k line up is so hyped here that the secondhand ones are really not that much cheaper.
If you just compare the bodies then yes, but going full frame is soooooo much more expensive. Any decent lens will cost 2 if not 3-4x more than APS-C equivalent and thats where you gonna "lose" ton of money in a long run.
I needed a full comparison of 6000 vs OG a7 or a7R. Trying to get my wife something to take with her on a road trip through national parks. She knows her way around my Riv well enough but didn't want the weight hiking around parks. I got an a6000 but not that impressed with it. Was thinking one of the OG FF Sonys because of weight. Just wondering if it actually a substantial upgrade. I have a ton of e mount lenses but bought into Sony with a Rii and quickly went to Riii and iv so never tried the first round they made
Welcome back! I actually looking for a a7 now since i had my a6000 for half a year. Kind of miss fullframe. I dont know what i want ot choose tho. Should i get an a6400 or an a7 or a a7ii? I kind of like the eye tracking that the 6400 has but the benefits from a full frame might be better. I mostly do Models in studio or on a location and street-photos. Is a a7 worth it for the benefits of a fullframe just for that extra camera? What say you? Sure i like all the benefits of the newer cameras but do i actually need them? 24mp feels quite alright for me aswell. All theese decisions! i can´t decide!
Hey Ola and thanks for the comment. I used to have A7II and it was great, but that was over 3 years ago. If it was now, I would not get anything older than A7C or A7III. If budget allows, of course A7IV is ideal, which I actually got 6 months ago and couldn't like it more. Full Frame of course has its great look, but remember with Full Frame, you will have to invest a lot more in Full Frame lenses. I think bigger benefit is to get a newer APS-C camera (like A6400 or ZV-E10) rather than old Full Frame camera (like A7 or A7II). But ultimately only you will know whats best for you. As I said, its all about YOUR needs. I hope you figure it out. Cheers ;)
What lenses do you have? Switching up comes with major investments in New FF glass. You can of course use your APSC lenses in the A7 but what's the point really? I'd go for the a6400. Buy a small rig cage to give it some heft 😊
@@ifeanyi_maduka I got a Sony 50 (aps-c) Tamron 35mm 2.8 that is fe as far as I know. Then I just bought the signs 16mm 1.4. so sure, buying a a6400 makes more sense .
The downside of upgrading to A7II or A7RII is that you will have to invest a lot in new Full Frame lenses. If you don't have the budget for good lenses, I think its better to stick with A6000 or upgrade to A6100/ZV-E10 and instead invest in good lenses. Generally, you will feel yourself that there is a need to upgrade to Full Frame. If you feel like A6000 is really limiting you in super challenging environment, then its time to upgrade.
@@69addict if you think you’re set on sticking with apsc go with the A6600 it’s the top end of Sonys crop censor cameras and you get a lot out of it, even the 6500 is great still
@@TomsJurjaks I do have a 35mm mieke lens, but since it's a manual lens, I am planning to buy a prime lens. What would be the best option? Do I have to go to 30mm or 50mm lens?
It really is Gideon. Also The Lumix offers some amazing prices for the value the cameras provide. The only setback is the lenses. As I said, Full Frame lenses will really hit you where it hurts. Other than that - great choice ;)
I upgraded to A7IV half a year ago and let me tell you, it is the best camera I've ever had. The question you need to ask is if you really need it cuz it costs a bit haha + Full Frame lenses. For me, for what I do, it is totally worth it.
@@Naveen_Jadhav I have the DJI Ronin SC but just got 2 from Feiyutech. Also fairly known for their gimbals. I got the Scorp Pro and Scorp Mini. They are pretty amazing let me tell you. So many features!
I see the A6000 more as a street camera or a camera you always have with you in case... And the A7 is more a camera you use when you know you are going for a shoot. But that is my opinion.
What would you do about the soft skin filter issue on the sony a5100/a6000? It's one of the only reasons why I don't enjoy it... I'm happy about the image quality, but the soft skin filter issue annoys me so much in video
Hey Joep, I've never used the soft skin filter feature and have never found a need or a use for it. I don't even know how it can help me in shooting process. In general I try to avoid adding "effects" while filming and rather do color grading, sharpness etc in post production rather than in camera.
@@TomsJurjaks Thanks for your response, but for video with the sony a5100/a6000 with auto face detect on, the soft skin filter will be automatically applied right? I can't seem to get rid of it for some reason when filming even when it's ''off''
Hi Friend! Thanks for this video!! I recently bought a Sony a6000. I want to change the kit lens... What do you think of the Sony 50mm f1.8 OSS? The Sony 50mm 1.8 F would be better? And what do you think of the Sony 16mm f2.8 for street photography? I am a biginner... THANKS!! From Buenos Aires 🇦🇷
50mm 1.8 FE is way better than the 50mm 1.8 F lens (which is considered to be the worse full frame lens available). What I will say is the focal length on the a6000 makes it more of a portrait lens and you’ll find it too tight indoors. Consider the 35mm 1.8 as a more walk around indoor option, or the 28 f/2 (which was my choice and is full frame compatible if you want to upgrade later - although doesn’t have OSS).
Hi Tom thanks for the vid. I have two a6000 for an online show I'm hosting called Ibiza Amigos, they're great! Could you please answer me this....I'm thinking of buying a gimbal but I'm worried that I will buy the wrong gimbal. My setup is Sony a6000 and Sigma 16mm f1.4 lens. Some poeple say this setup is impossible to balanace. Could you give me some advice on which gimbal to go for as I'm sure you have this camera and lens I watched a video a while back about you and this setup so maybe you have a gimbal that works with this? Thanks again and keep up the good wok with your channel :) ✌
Hey buddy, I even have a video where I am going around Copenhagen with my Sony A6000 + Sigma 16mm f1.4 and DJI Ronin SC (czcams.com/video/lYSF21jLE9k/video.html). I have also easily balanced it on my new FeiyuTech Scrop Mini (www.feiyu-tech.com/feiyu-scorp-mini/) and there is no problem. I think people simply don't know how to properly balance their gimbals because I've never had any issues with any camera/lens/gimbal combination (unless you use 30kg camera on tiny gimbal haha). Cheers Roberto, best of luck in your events in Ibiza!
Don't they both use E mount? Does it make a difference with full frame and APSC sensors? Feeling lost in this. I thought it would be good to buy a cheap APSC camera, build up a lense collection and then later switch to full frame. Am I wrong?
You are a bit wrong/lost buddy. Yes they both use E-Mount and therefore Full Frame lenses fit on Full Frame AND aps-c cameras, but unfortunately aps-c cameras dont (really) fit on Full Frame cameras. They actually do, but you would see black circle around your image since the lens is designed for smaller sensor. What you can do is buy Full Frame lenses for your APS-C camera and when you upgrade to Full Frame camera, you will be able to use the Full Frame lenses. Also i made a video about it long time ago trying to explain stuff so you can check it here and i hope it helps: czcams.com/video/NhhKNqw4oNU/video.html
I have a question for you. I'm not sure if I buy the Sony 50mm FE (In discount for less than the oss), or the Sony 50mm 1.8 oss. Is the image mm going to BE the same? Is the image of a full frame lens 50mm the same of a 50mm aps-c lens on the same aps-c camera? Thank you for your help!
I have an a6000 and was considering getting a used a7 but now you're making me apprehensive by saying I can't use the same lenses on them? Like, I understand that I can't use the 3.5-5.6/16-50 lens that came with the a6000 on an a7, but I also have a Sigma 16mm DC DN lens that I use the most. Would that not be usable on an a7?
I know its a bit confusing Zeus. Short answer, no, you can't use apsc lenses on full frame cameras. Well you kind of can but then you have to switch the full frame camera in a crop mode but then you lose a lot of its benefits. I suggest you check out my video, I made specifically about this topic: czcams.com/video/NhhKNqw4oNU/video.html
Hey Aztareth, I will tell you this: "Choose the lens ecosystem and not the camera". Any camera will do the job well, differences are so minor you will not see it. Prices change yes and there are some more budget options, some are more expensive, but what really matters is the lenses you can buy because that is the most important thing. Canon for example just forbid any 3rd party lenses to be manufactured for their RF Mount means you would only be able to buy their (very expensive lenses) while Nikon and Sony allows to choose from plenty of lens options. So first see what offers more/better/various lenses and choose from there instead of picking just 1 camera.
Hey, I've never heard about that program so I can't comment. But you can download my free presets on the website and try out yourself before purchasing the Premium ones

Just my two cents from someone who wished they went full frame right away.
Hey Dede, I totally agree with your argument and you make a very valid point for yourself. However, the majority of the people doesn't get to outgrow their gear for years and years. Most beginners never even shoot at night or any challenging environments and heck, doesn't even dare to shoot RAW.

I see the A6000 more as a street camera or a camera you always have with you in case... And the A7 is more a camera you use when you know you are going for a shoot. But that is my opinion.
I treat them the same exact way 👌

What would you do about the soft skin filter issue on the sony a5100/a6000? It's one of the only reasons why I don't enjoy it... I'm happy about the image quality, but the soft skin filter issue annoys me so much in video
Hey Joep, I've never used the soft skin filter feature and have never found a need or a use for it. I don't even know how it can help me in shooting process. In general I try to avoid adding "effects" while filming and rather do color grading, sharpness etc in post production rather than in camera.
@@TomsJurjaks Thanks for your response, but for video with the sony a5100/a6000 with auto face detect on, the soft skin filter will be automatically applied right? I can't seem to get rid of it for some reason when filming even when it's ''off''
Hi Friend! Thanks for this video!! I recently bought a Sony a6000. I want to change the kit lens... What do you think of the Sony 50mm f1.8 OSS? The Sony 50mm 1.8 F would be better? And what do you think of the Sony 16mm f2.8 for street photography? I am a biginner... THANKS!! From Buenos Aires 🇦🇷
50mm 1.8 FE is way better than the 50mm 1.8 F lens (which is considered to be the worse full frame lens available). What I will say is the focal length on the a6000 makes it more of a portrait lens and you’ll find it too tight indoors. Consider the 35mm 1.8 as a more walk around indoor option, or the 28 f/2 (which was my choice and is full frame compatible if you want to upgrade later - although doesn’t have OSS).
Hi Tom thanks for the vid. I have two a6000 for an online show I'm hosting called Ibiza Amigos, they're great! Could you please answer me this....I'm thinking of buying a gimbal but I'm worried that I will buy the wrong gimbal. My setup is Sony a6000 and Sigma 16mm f1.4 lens. Some poeple say this setup is impossible to balanace. Could you give me some advice on which gimbal to go for as I'm sure you have this camera and lens I watched a video a while back about you and this setup so maybe you have a gimbal that works with this? Thanks again and keep up the good wok with your channel :) ✌
Hey buddy, I even have a video where I am going around Copenhagen with my Sony A6000 + Sigma 16mm f1.4 and DJI Ronin SC (czcams.com/video/lYSF21jLE9k/video.html). I have also easily balanced it on my new FeiyuTech Scrop Mini (www.feiyu-tech.com/feiyu-scorp-mini/) and there is no problem. I think people simply don't know how to properly balance their gimbals because I've never had any issues with any camera/lens/gimbal combination (unless you use 30kg camera on tiny gimbal haha). Cheers Roberto, best of luck in your events in Ibiza!
Don't they both use E mount? Does it make a difference with full frame and APSC sensors? Feeling lost in this. I thought it would be good to buy a cheap APSC camera, build up a lense collection and then later switch to full frame. Am I wrong?
You are a bit wrong/lost buddy. Yes they both use E-Mount and therefore Full Frame lenses fit on Full Frame AND aps-c cameras, but unfortunately aps-c cameras dont (really) fit on Full Frame cameras. They actually do, but you would see black circle around your image since the lens is designed for smaller sensor. What you can do is buy Full Frame lenses for your APS-C camera and when you upgrade to Full Frame camera, you will be able to use the Full Frame lenses. Also i made a video about it long time ago trying to explain stuff so you can check it here and i hope it helps: czcams.com/video/NhhKNqw4oNU/video.html
@@TomsJurjaks thanks for the quick reply, I will check out the video. Cheers mate
I have a question for you. I'm not sure if I buy the Sony 50mm FE (In discount for less than the oss), or the Sony 50mm 1.8 oss. Is the image mm going to BE the same? Is the image of a full frame lens 50mm the same of a 50mm aps-c lens on the same aps-c camera? Thank you for your help!
Yes, it's the same. The only difference is when you use 50mm on Full Frame camera or when you use it on APS-C camera.
@@TomsJurjaks Nice! Thanks a lot! Also, thanks for the videos! Really like your content
Will you make a street photography video with the Sony A7 mark 1?
Most likely not. I don't have that camera and don't recommend it, but there will be more POVs with different cameras so stay tuned!
Good idea! 😊
I have an a6000 and was considering getting a used a7 but now you're making me apprehensive by saying I can't use the same lenses on them? Like, I understand that I can't use the 3.5-5.6/16-50 lens that came with the a6000 on an a7, but I also have a Sigma 16mm DC DN lens that I use the most. Would that not be usable on an a7?
I know its a bit confusing Zeus. Short answer, no, you can't use apsc lenses on full frame cameras. Well you kind of can but then you have to switch the full frame camera in a crop mode but then you lose a lot of its benefits. I suggest you check out my video, I made specifically about this topic: czcams.com/video/NhhKNqw4oNU/video.html
Tus videos son geniales! saludos desde Chile amigo!
Muchas gracias Alejandro! Saludos!
I was missing really
Moving and setting up the new studio did take quite some time but now I am back on track 💪
I would like to ask something, a6XXX series or Z50?
Hey Aztareth, I will tell you this: "Choose the lens ecosystem and not the camera". Any camera will do the job well, differences are so minor you will not see it. Prices change yes and there are some more budget options, some are more expensive, but what really matters is the lenses you can buy because that is the most important thing. Canon for example just forbid any 3rd party lenses to be manufactured for their RF Mount means you would only be able to buy their (very expensive lenses) while Nikon and Sony allows to choose from plenty of lens options. So first see what offers more/better/various lenses and choose from there instead of picking just 1 camera.
Nice to see more content
Ay cheers buddy! More to come!
I’m going with A7 because it has microphone port
Lot of APSC cameras like A6400 or ZV-E10 has microphone ports.
what is the best lens for a6000 please i want to buy one
Depends on what you gonna use it for. Best lens is different for everyone. I like Tamron 17-70 f2.8 as a great all around zoom lens
Hi.
Does your presets work in Affinity Photo?
Hey, I've never heard about that program so I can't comment. But you can download my free presets on the website and try out yourself before purchasing the Premium ones
@@TomsJurjaks thank you.
I just bought a A7 for 300 € + 90 € for the kit lens 🥺
