How do you compare the Sony a6400 and the Canon M6 mark II for both photography and video? These are two of the most popular beginner mirrorless cameras from Sony and Canon and they offer great value.
The a6400 is a fantastic aps-c camera from Sony and offers an outstanding value. The M6 MK II is the new king of aps-c mirrorless cameras from Canon.
There are some similarities and some significant differences, so I will cover the strengths and weaknesses of the #a6400 and the #m6mkii for both photography and video, and I discuss everything from body type, framerate and resolution, autofocus, lens options, audio features, and ergonomics.
I will also look at the #sony a6400 and the Canon M6mkii in terms of battery life, timelapse, viewfinder and streaming options and recording limit.
Finally I’ll tell you which option I think is best for different uses.

What's up everyone?! Big thanks to the TGT NOTIFICATION SQUAD!!! I hope this comparison of the Sony A6400 and the Canon M6MKII with sample footage and images is helpful. These are two of my favorite beginner mirrorless cameras for both photography and video. Let me know what you think!!
Would love to know what you think, good or bad. I am grateful in advance 🙏
Your videos are always so informative and helpful! Your my go to tech guy! Thank you 🙏
I'm happy they are being enjoyable, my friend!
Need to change your hashtag. #M50 😉
I will be back to use your affiliate link when I am ready to make the purchase, thanks again
Thank you @lisa's life!!!
If my wife catch me watching another one of your videos. she would say, is Ross trying to sell you, another camera?
😂🤣
I can't blame her.
Redirect: "No, Ross is just TELLING ME about another camera"
That’s pretty funny.
Same with me, we r camera addicts! I end up buying camera if the reviews are excellent . Trying very hard to control !
@@RP-ms7lu why would you need more than one, unless a major upgrade is necessary? Why not just get one, really good camera and stick with that for several years?
Haha! He does resemble the character Ross from friends.
this review is like watching a good tennis match...i'm like, "I am going to buy the Sony.....no the Canon.....ok Sony.....sh$%, Canon....Sony.....Can..Son...Can...So......." NOOOOOOOO!
Awesome comment!!!
@@TechGearTalk in all seriousness, great video. Thanks for the time and effort put into making it
So trueeee
So great! Lol
Probably the funniest comment in the entire tech youtube community....
Love how you break down your videos. Ive been watching a lot of them lately trying to decide which camera to buy. Thanks!
I really value the time, thought, and effort you put in to your videos, so insightful and useful, without a doubt one of my most favourite UA-cam channels.
I very much appreciate you watching and supporting the channel!
I really love your informative approach and amazing visuals. We talked a while back, but my M 50 broke on me. I just upgraded to the M6 which I really love. But I was also trapped because of the canon EFM mounts. I don’t regret my decision but thank you for covering everything! Solid solid channel an amazing Content!
Nate ....
Been binging on your videos all day. Haha! I think that point about lens systems is so important. Not all reviews talk about that point in such detail and as simplified so that any first-time buyer clears gets it. Again! Loving your content man. Cheers! Hope you hit a mil soon.
I literally fell into this video. Your voice gives me great confidence. Thanks for the good information!
So glad the video was helpful. Thank you for being part of the channel! 👍🏻
This has hands down been the most helpful source of information for me in my quest to upgrade my extremely dated D80. Thank you.
I’m so glad it’s been helpful. Welcome to the channel!
What did you choose to upgrade to?
This has been the most useful resource for my decision. Big thanks. Liked and subbed!
Thanks for providing a detailed review of both the cameras. It really helped me in deciding which one to buy.
Your presentation was very informative and educational. I especially liked your format of reviewing each feature, the specs of each camera and their use and importance, always considering the needs and styles of the photographer.
I may have missed the review of the built in flash and its capabilities and limitations of both cameras.
Well done. So much good information and real detail here.
Thanks so much - I hope the video was helpful.
Your videos/comparisons are the most useful when wanting to buy a camera, thanks!
Always the best camera comparison videos, I know this is a lot of work so Thank You !!!
I’ve had my share of hours watching youtube in this category of videos. And yours are the most pleasing to watch by far!
Sorry for commenting twice >< but it had to be said!
I really appreciate you taking the time to watch and for the kind words. Thank you for joining the community 🙏
I cant believe such amazing content is available on UA-cam! Thank you internet, thank you UA-cam. More importantly thank you, Sagi ! 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Great cameras, both of them! Awesome and detailed review. Thanks, Sagi 👊
Totally agree 👍
This is the most informative and complete comparison video of these two cameras I’ve seen. Thank you very much. Definitely subscribing.
Super glad it was helpful and appreciate the support 👊
I was all set on the M6 but there’s no log profile in that of any kind. So if you’re like me and you need to shoot 4K and you need some kind of log profile for color grading in the sub $1000 range for cameras it looks to me like it’s the a6400. To me Sony and Canon are the only ones with acceptable auto focus so who are the other brands are out.
Go with the a6400 if you want to shoot in log. You can get great SLOG2/3 and HLG footage.
You always excellent Bro. Your subscribers including myself got Deep Knowledge of every cameras by through your reviews and explanation.
I'm so glad I'm able to help and thank you for all the support!
Thank you for making this excellent video. I really appreciate the fact that you have gone in depth on a variety of topics.
I am mostly interested in bird photography and so, autofocus speed and tracking are of significance to me.
Since you have reviewed Canon M6 Mark II, Sony a6400 and Canon 90D, which one would you recommend for the purpose of bird photography?
Thank you in advance. 😀
What did you choose?
Wonderful review! Thanks for all the details.
You're very welcome Daniel - hope it was helpful. Which did you like better?
@@TechGearTalk I’m still on the fence, but leaning towards the Canon for the better controls and menu. That unlimited recording though...
Excellent video. Thank you for the comparison.
Thank you so much, glad it was helpful. Welcome to the channel!
Love your videos. Great comparison 👍🏻
Thanks a lot
Glad they are being helpful. Thanks for being part of the channel!
Hey man. Fantastic video, I really appreciate the in-depth comparison between both cameras. I am planning on upgrading from my older A-Mount A77II in the next month or so and have been eyeing the A6400/6600 because of the e-mount and ability to use with my G-Master glass from my A7III, but Canon has been doing some really cool things recently with their mirrorless cameras and firmware updates, and the canon color science is SO tempting. This review really helped make up my mind on the A6400, this B camera would be dedicated to video, and I think that unlimited record time and the ability to record while plugged in are a huge benefit for my situation. Thank you for doing a thorough comparison, this was crazy helpful!
Hi Jesse. I'm super glad the video was helpful. I think with you having GM glass for your a7iii, the a6400 is a great choice. No really reason for you to spend the extra $ on the a6600. Let me know how it works out for you when you get it.
Thanks for joining the community and supporting the channel 👊
The attention to detail in your comparison review is unparalleled. Thank you for the examples, thorough explanations, and real-world demonstrations.
Agree! Very very good review.
So glad I was able to help - appreciate the kind words! Thanks for being part of the channel!
Yes, please do image quality comparison. Thank you. Great work.
Thanks for the kind words and support! Will work on it.
Great video as usual. I was planning to get a6400 but Sony dropped the price on a6100 to $598 and I pulled the trigger. And I am very happy with it. It has all the goodness of a6400 minus picture profile, which I would not have used anyway!
Super smart move! CONGRATS!!! (thank you for the kind words and support)
Thanks for such a great review. I have always used point and shoot cameras, but I want to upgrade to mirrorless camera to shoot sport events, beach and family events. For a beginner to mirrorless camera, which one of these two would you recommend?
This is an incredible comparison, very well researched and articulated
Very comprehensive review; answered all of my questions thanks, although I would have liked more commentary on the speed of autofocus between near and far objects (in the context of a setting such as that seen in this very review) when recording video. I need a cam mainly for streaming and I think the Sony wins it overall, especially as I may wish to either replace it with or additionally buy an A7SIII later-on. I was very surprised to hear that any camera at this level (i.e. the Canon) has a 30-minute limit for recording video.
If your upgrade path is to an a7siii - definitely go with the Sony and start investing in lenses. Almost every single canon dslr/mirrorless camera has a recording limit.
Hey man i think you have given the best honest comparision between both the cameras and please let me help in deciding which camera i should buy for wildlife photography. Canon or Sony.
Hi, great vid as always. I'm not really into video so photos is what I'd be using one of these for. What lens did you use for the pics in this video. Thanks.
Thanks! I mostly used the kit lenses with both. For the M6II I also had the 22 and the 55-200
You always give us the best in information without bias and preference, I love that about your videos plus I get everything I need to know. Thank you sir tech gear talk, I have not forgotten how you helped me chose my camera and now I love it.
I'm so glad the videos continue to be helpful - and you know I'm glad you love your camera! Thank you for all the support!
@@TechGearTalk thanks again, couldn't have done it without you sir, though I focus on videography, I have been researching and going out in the field and now my photography is taking off! Wish I could show you a few samples but I am very grateful for your time and advice.
It makes me so happy to hear about your evolution and success 🙏. You can DM me on IG or TW if you want to show me your work.
@@TechGearTalk that would be great, what's your IG info?
techgeartalk - there is a link from my channel page as well.
Great video! I've only just started watching a couple of yours, but every time I do,
I change the camera I was leaning towards. I'm afraid to look at the next one.......but I will ! 😁
So many good options out there. Hope the videos are helpful
@@TechGearTalk They're very helpful ! Frankly, I'd say the best I've seen. Balanced, thorough, well thought-out. Please keep them coming.
🙏
Back again for camera info, this was a stellar review on both cameras. Absolutely amazing.
So glad it was helpful.
Great video. I finally got the RP because: 1. Full Frame 2. Part of the R lineup = excellent quality, EVF and really nice ergonomics 3. Price was perfect with the 35mm. I use it primarily for photography and it feels so nice to use it and the image quality is only amazing. I don't care about the lower resolution on the LCD or the EVF - it's completely adequate and fine. My only issue with it is the battery but a second one will solve the problem. In my opinion a great camera for photography with latest technology for a very fair price and so far I really really love it.
I completely agree with your assessment of the RP and your perspective on the one part that "bothers" you. CONGRATS Daniel!
You do great reviews. Thanks.
I appreciate that! Thank you for being part of the channel!
Thank you !!))) This is a very useful video!))
Amazing to hear. Welcome to the community!
Nice video tutorial, still waiting for canon m50 lenses, thanks
I've got something coming for you - I will announce soon!
@@TechGearTalk Cant wait to see it, thanks

watching this all the way throughhh on a Monday morning weeeee
Loved the bloopers 😂❤️
Thanks so much for watching and letting me know.
Great videos! I own both these bodies. You forgot to mention Canon's 32 mp which crushes the Sony on still photography. The bigger size image has more detail in it for post or simply resizing for a sharper image.
If you have a lens that can resolve those 32mp's, unless minimal difference
Thank you so much you helped me made a very hard choice.
This was an amazing, comprehensive and enjoyable review.You really have a lovely style that makes watching your videos really effortless and informative. I am thinking of going for the A6400 as I primarily want to do product photography and video of Maker projects being made in the workshop. What lenses do you recommend I buy for both product photography and filming workshop maker projects.Preferably mid range budget friendly? - Thanks so much :-)
Hi what camera did you buy? I also want a product photography and video maker at the same time.
Thanks for another great review/comparison! Would you please share some info about the slide system you use and may share any tips? Have a nice weekend =)
Glad you liked it. I have some info in my office tour: ua-cam.com/video/Knqufkb35kY/v-deo.html let me know if you have any questions.
The M6 seems to be the best option for my video needs. If you're strictly shooting videos on a tripod then the sony seems better, but if you're moving around then the M6 is far better since the a6400 has a rolling shutter.
I have been on the fence for the past few weeks about which camera to purchase (M6 MK II or a6400). I have watched many videos on each camera individually and read all the specs. To get an unbiased, visual comparison, a detailed explanation and definitive summary at the end was fantastic. You really helped me make an informed decision based on my shooting needs. Thank you for doing this video.
Super glad to hear this video was helpful Ian. Which did you pick?
Tech Gear Talk I picked the Sony a6400 because I want a camera that can do the buttery smooth 120fps slow motion but can also deliver a great still image quality. I also based the decision on the lens availability.
Nice! CONGRATS!!!
Yes, color quality comparison please. Thank you for this video.
Hi there, a wonderful and useful video, thank you! In general, I am interested especially in your personal experiences (and a little bit less in specifications).
Super glad you found it useful and I appreciate the feedback 🙏
I love watching your videos! 😍
Thank you so much for the support - and great work growing your channel!
I came to the comment section to say exactly the same :D
Annooo ...
Hello 👋
Great review as always 😊
Thank you so much Akshay!!!
Great video as usual 👏👏
Thanks so much brother!
Wonderful review. You are the best reviewer of cameras.
Please make some videos for photography and videography tutorial also.
I'm so glad I was able to help - thank you for the kind words. I will make more tutorials! I started with a lighting tutorial ua-cam.com/video/COubO-eCH9U/v-deo.html and one about variable nd filters ua-cam.com/video/QdsPmo9wcFk/v-deo.html hope you like them. Thank you for being part of the channel!
I love your videos!!! You’re so helpful man! I’ve been researching a ton of cameras to be able to do video, photography, and live streaming well. The few questions I have because I’m leaning more towards the Canon M6 Mark ll.
With the adapter what all Canon glass can I use? Because my brother has a lot of lenses I can borrow.
When using the canon for live streaming does the Elgato Cam Link 4K bypass the 30 minute recording time limit? Everything on Elgato’s website says yes but Canon technical service say no. I want to be able to put it on the tripod behind my computer and not mess with it until an end of a stream a few hours later.
What lens is going to give me the best results as far Bokeh? I want to be able to live stream and have everything around me be blurry besides myself for the most part. I know that has to deal with things like aperture but I need to know what kind of lens would assist in that as well.
I know this is going take a good amount of your time if you even get a chance to respond. But if you could answer these questions because I trust your expertise in full detail and clarity. I wouldn’t mind donating to your PayPal to say thank you 🙏
Sincerely,
A Noob
Hi, glad the videos are helpful and thank you for the kind words.
1. Yes, all glass will work
2. Yes, you can stream for longer than 30 minutes (because you're not technically recording to the camera)
3. You'll want something with a low aperture number (ex. Sigma 16mm f/1.4, or Sigma 30mm f/1.4, my favorite lens is the Sigma 18-35 f/1.8)
I hope these were helpful. Thank you for the donation offer 🙏
I don't have a Tech Gear Talk PayPal (maybe I should set one up). I do have a Patreon account set up www.patreon.com/techgeartalk if you're interested in supporting the channel.
Let me know if you have any other question - I'll do my best to help.
Tech Gear Talk Oh my gosh you’re so helpful thank you so much!
Video idea because these reviews are extremely helpful but it’s really hard to know exactly what accessories that you will need to enhance your experience. Your candor honesty and ability to stick to the facts is really what draws me to your channel.
Really quick is there any must have accessories that I should consider? Gimbal? Battery pack? Cool gadgets? I’m really about quality so I don’t want to buy just a gray market package with a bunch of generic accessories.
It depends a little on what you want to start with (as far as photography, video or streaming). You can start and learn about exposure, framing, etc. with a camera and a lens.
For video, If it were me, I would start with camera, lenses, support (tripod), microphone and lighting.
IMO the most important part is to shoot as much as possible. Watch a tutorial then go and try a bunch of times. Don't waste time watching 100 tutorials. Watch a 2-3 then go shoot 97 times! You don't learn by watching you learn by doing.
Does this make sense?
Big thanks for your sensible and detailed camera comparisons!! Are there any stabilized prime lenses for the M6, like a ~20mm and ~50mm...?
Sony is annoying me. crap menus, no touch screen and I hate their JPEG processing. They blocked my upgrade path from the RX1 and the RX100V both.
Even though I have a load of Sony lenses and some older bodies, I'm thinking I'll buy this Canon camera, even though I'll have to buy lenses too...
Awesome videos. Which camera should I go with. I am confused. I am more into 4K videos for online courses.
Like i always say, buy it nice or buy it twice......scratch that....like i always say you make the best review, comparison and tutorial videos on UA-cam. Period
I appreciate all the continued support by friend 🙏🙏
@@TechGearTalk Dont mention. I appreciate the great work you've been putting out also. Kindly check your mail.
Will do!
Very informative. Could use your knowledge and advice. I need a camera for stills and would like also to be able to do 4k video.
Which camera would you recommend between the Sony A6400, Canon M6 MkII & Canon RP. I would also like to be able to mount
a flash on the camera. Would I be able to use the Sigma 18-250mm for DSLR camera with EF-Mount on any of these cameras? What adapter would you recommend? Is it true that this sigma all-in-one lens is sharper than a canon all-in-one lens? Thanks & keep up the Good work.
I came late to the thumbnail voting but the orange one is clearly the winner! Thanks again for the complete information regards the gear we want to buy or know about :) keep the excellent work going on!!!
You're very welcome Sam. Yup, you picked the winner!!!
Awesome review, I have a canon 200d that I have had for a few years which is an entertaining level camera & now I’m thinking of going to the next level , I was looking at the Sony a6400 but after watching I’m thinking of staying with canon . Thanks for your review
Thanks. Sold on the M6MKII.
Love your videos man, so well presented, paced perfectly, jam packed with relevant information, nicely lit and filmed. What's not to like.
Excellent work from a trustworthy channel.
Thank you.
Thanks so much Andrew - I super appreciate you taking the time to leave feedback! Grateful to have you as part of the community!
Great Videos, thanks a lot!
Glad you like them! Thanks for being part of the channel!
Great video, thanks. I'm going to buy my very first camera and I think I like A6400 more. Is it hard to use A6400 as a beginner? Since you mentioned Canon is more user friendly. Don't want to buy something which would be complicated to use and I ended up not using it at all. and I will mainly use the camera for my toddler photography that is not easy to keep her still and family photos.
I have the M6MKII and really like it !
It's such a good camera! CONGRATS!!!
This is very helpful. I am a canon guy and I think I will go with M6MK2
Hi, i really like your video ! I have a question : If i want to use a camera for Video clip filming on 4k and sometime in slow motion mode, Which camera should i buy ? Both camera are littely same price Sony A6400 is 999 € and M6 MK II 1189 €. Can you please tell me ? it's urgent i need it. Thanks for your reply.
This gotta be the toughest decision I will ever make in my entire life lol
Let me know what you pick!
Same lol
@@TechGearTalk went for a6400. Totally worth it!
Laughed so hard at this coz I'm sweating right now about to make my final decision.
i went with the mk2 simply because the 6400 is out of stock (for body only) all the way until may (on amazon) unless i wanna buy used or from sone other site with a much more difficult return policy.
it was so close and so i just let availability chose for me ;)
i basically have a month to try out the mk2 and if for what ever reason, its not working out. i can return it and get the 6400 once it back in stock.
btw, i went with body only so i could get the sigma 30mm 1.4 lens instead
Hi I am looking to buy my first camera and I will be using it for mostly interviews, b roll and timelapse footage I really like the M6MKII but the 30 min limit on it is making lean towards the a6400. Is the added cost of an external recorder worth it for the M6MKII or should I go with the a6400 to save $$$ for lenses and audio equipment. Thanks for your videos, in the last 3 days I've flipped from the M50, a6400 and the M6MKII because your videos reviews are just some informative and engaging that makes me want to buy them all!
Great work on the comparison of these two kits. I had purchased that little Canon a few months ago as a little walk around with the 22 f.2. Have you had a chance to shoot with Sigma glass? That 16 sounds tempting. I was wondering would I be able to pretty much use your M50 vid tutorial for this kit. You packed a whole bunch in there for sure. Great stuff. Looking forward to more. Thanks
Thanks so much Terrell. The 16mm is fantastic (video coming soon). You said "use your m50 vid tutorial for 'this kit'". Do you mean for the M6ii?
@@TechGearTalk yes. Sorry. Was just wondering if you don't do a vid tutorial specifically for the m6ii would the technical tips translate over from the m50?
Got it. So the techniques will be identical - the settings will be a little different (4k vs 1080, or where they are in the menu) but that should be simple to translate. Does that make sense?
Oh man! Only 105k subs for 3 years of excellent YouTubing.
Keep up good work. I am your avid follower. Love your videos.
Appreciate you!
@@TechGearTalk My decision on buying Canon M6 Mark II is purely based on your review ànd comparison between A6600 and M6.
I have the a6400 and a6600. The M6 MKII looks like a great option as well for people looking to Vlog
Nice! I just got the a6600 and am excited to see how it performs.
Tech Gear Talk for the Win!
So I don't plan on in 4K because I dont have the equipment or storage for it to work with it. However, I do want to start color grading or at least trying it out. I have a canon m50 and have been thinking about making that switch to the a6400 for the low light capabilities, clean HDMI for live streaming and log profiles for dabbling with color grading. Is this a good switch to make?
Thanks a ton for making such videos. I have become a big fan. I am sought of confused between Canon M6 MK II, Lumix G9 and Sony a6400. Following is the prices for these cameras in the country where I am currently based:
Canon M6 MK II with EF-M 15-45mm lens + EVF + Adapter EF - EOS M = $1,130
Lumix G9 + vario 12-60mm 3.5-5.6 lens = $1,450
Sony a6400 + E 18-135mm = $1480 (or) Sony a6400 + 16-50mm = $1,100
Which one would you recommend? I am beginner and would mostly like to capture portraits and landscapes (and sometimes astro)
My new favourite youtuber. You have gained a subscriber
Oh wow, thanks so much 🙏🏻
Tech Gear Talk really enjoy your content, no gimmicks, just straight clear information. Keep up the great work 👌🏻
I will continue to do my best
It's been a year since you posted this video, but I'm still undecided with this 2 hahah. Which of this two cameras do you think has better af for photographing toddler or kids running.
I hope you can also review the new fuji x-e4 looks interesting too.
Thank you
Great review, so you cant put a flash trigger or flash on the camera if your using the EVF ? if so thats a serious problem and maybe a deal breaker depending on how good the rear lcd screen is.
Excellent video! Might want to just double check your video description though 😉
You put M50 instead of M6 II 😁 Can happen to the best of us
Thank you so much for catching that!!! Done 🙏👊
Which do you think better for nature photography and prints.... thanks :)
Informative video
Thank you so much for the kind words and support Satyam 🙏
Looking forward to hearing what you think about the Nikon Z50, my man. Always look forward to your releases. =)
It’s coming my friend - I promise!
Thanks for the amazing video. I too am still unsure what to buy. I see very strong points in both cameras, and fairly big drawbacks in both as well. The M6 is easier to use, and as a beginner that is a big draw. The color science is more natural and vibrant, but it lags in quality of video compared to the a6400. But the digital focus and stabilization seems to produce more stable video. The lenses are less universal, and it seems you’re a little stuck with canon lenses. The a6400 tops the cake with video, the sharpness is a huge advantage in my opinion, but the coloring isn’t quite as good, and it seems fairly complicated to navigate, even after studying the system. I am interested in photography and video, possibly starting a UA-cam channel soon, so I’m a little stumped. If I was only interested in photography OR video, then it seems like it would be an easier choice (M6 for photo, a6400 for video). Do you have any suggestions?
you're welcome Parker. Very good assessment. For me, the color is a big deal, and so is ease of use so I would pick the m6mkii. If I needed unlimited recording, 120fps with af or LOG, I would go with the a6400, otherwise, m6mkii. Hope that helps. 🙏
Thanks, as for me I just want to do photography so I guess the M6 is the best for that!
@@yannika6914 hey man, we have the same sentiment. I just have a little difficulty in choosing whether ill get the 90D due to more access to lenses OR just buy an adaptor mount in able to use old lenses for m6. Am I making sense or i should have just bought the 90D?
Hi what you suggest for Movie shooting , Sony A6400 or the Canon M6 MKII ? Thanks for help, Franky
Both would work great - it's about the specific features you need/want. (ex. unlimited recording, slow motion, touch screen, usb power, etc.)
Nice review Sag and you do try to give as much info as possible, well done but...
Yoy can only know if a camera works for you is if you use it for a while.
Knowing the specs and abilities is very good (but in the end all nowday cameras are good) but deciding on that alone makes you miss.
I used the Sony6400 (still don't like Sonys, but that's me, they have good things and bad things like everyone else) the m6 ii and m50 .
Wanted to buy myself a small 2nd camera and a camera for my wife.
Out of the 3 I mentioned bought for my wife the m50 (it's her 1st camera and she's in her 50s 😀 it's the first time she showed interest in photography so I instantly bought her one...) I feel that out of the bunch of those 3 the m6 ii is best and would have bought it if it had a built-in viewfinder.
For myself (after watching and reading reviews) bought blindly the Fuji XT30 (something I never do) because it is small and I like the retro approach.
It was a mistake, that is not a camera for me , I don't care what reviews say it feels like a toy like flimsy camera, it's handling is awful, the "simulations" are nice but they are just picture profiles in the end, its output is somewhat overated (it's still a good camera but when returning to it from the R it just makes me sad(I bought the R after testing it and went mirrorless only to be able to use 10s of my vintage lenses) and their lenses are weak, yes I said weak, both in handling and build quality and in IQ (35 f1.4 and 56 f1.2 are the only ones I used that are good)
But all that is my problem.
Personal handling is the deciding factor in the end.
P.S: in a retrospective I wouldn't buy for myself any of those 4 cameras as a second one, if I didn't have the R I'd buy the RP as a 2nd one since in that price range its better then all mentioned and still small enough.
I completely agree that actually holding the camera in your hands is super important. Some aspects are also subjective. I might like how a camera feels where someone else may not.
If you were a clerk in a store, I would take the survey link at the bottom of my receipt to let your manager know you're doing a great job!
Hey love your videos , I have a rebel T100 , that i will start for astrophotography. Im looking for a mirrorless camera with great picture quality, 4k video. I seen your Sony rx100 VII. I really like it but wondering would the Canon m6 mark ii , or do you recommend something better for under $1500
Great videos and comparison, I watched them all over and over again the last few days. I am still split between these two. 1080p image quality and sound recording in camera, which one would you recommend? Leaning towards A6400 although I have a Canon EOS M10 for my current YT videos. Gotta make a decision...
1080p is great with both - maybe slightly better on the m6ii. audio quality in camera is better on the a6400 (both with and without an external microphone - although I would recommend getting a mic regardless).
The m6ii is easier to use and will probably be a simpler transition for you.
a6400 also has slow motion with auto focus. Hope this was helpful.
@@TechGearTalk Thank you, I am more inclined towards the A6400. Sound is also important to me, with some external mics. I plan to get an unidirectional one and a lavalier. I can get a kit with the 18-135 lenses.
That makes sense to me.
@@TechGearTalk The thing is, I don't know how much rolling shutter will be a problem. The M6 MkII looks free of that, but the whole A6400 package seems better suited to my needs, which are strictly related to creating better content and growing up my channel. I watched your reviews over and over again, thank you for all that knowledge!
I've never really thought about rolling shutter much because I don't tend to pan the camera that fast - but I know people talk about it. You'll see in today's video 😂🤣
I'm always glad to help when I can.
Hello! Just finished watching this video, still torn between 3 cameras,I’m thinking canon m50m2 / m6m2/ Sonya6400, which one would you recommend me to choose as my first mirrorless camera?
Since I never have m50 before (as I watched your previous video about m50) but unfortunately there’s only m50m2 in the store now
my pictures are mainly travel photo, landscape and portrait
It would be really helpful if you could give me advise, thank you!!!
Awesome video!! :) I was thinking about both of these cameras since I have used both camera brands before. The Sony’s lens availability and access to animal AF is very appealing, but Canon’s MP count and frame rate is also nice. However, since I have way more lenses for Sony, I might go ahead and get the Sony instead. Is there an adaptor available to fit Sony lenses on Canon M6 II??
Thanks Maddie! No, there is no adapter for mirrorless lenses from either brands to be used on another brand. I’m glad you’re considering lenses during your purchase - good move
Maddie, what do you use your cameras for, and what did you end up choosing?
Sagi- I was SOLD on the M50 as my first VLOG/cinematic B-roll cam. But recently started looking at the M6MKii. Budget is definitely in consideration, being that it's my first legit camera, would you suggest getting my feet wet w the M50 or paying up for the M6? I dont want more camera than I can handle but I dont want to regret not getting the right camera. 2nd, if I go with the M50, would you suggest getting the kit lens or buying just the body and picking up the 11 mm lens for it? I love the wider crop of the 11 for sure but the kit lens may suffice too? Thanks again for what you are doing man, it is top shelf content and REALLY helpful!
Hi! Jumping in as an M50 user and an M fan in general. If money is in consideration, I say go for the M50 and use the money saved (from not getting the M6ii) to get other lenses. If you're vlogging, the swivel screen will also be better as it will not compete with a hotshoe mounted microphone. As for lenses, you can't go wrong with the 11-22mm for vlogging. The kit 15-45mm should be fine as well. But for the cinematic b-roll stuff, you will still probably consider primes like the Canon 22mm STM or EF 50STM and Sigma options.
@@HEYDJ Thanks for the feedback DJ! I was thinking the same thing, spend the extra $ that I save on glass. I can get the M50 body from Abe's of Maine for $450 and 11mm for around $299. So I was thinking about passing on the kit lens and putting that $ toward the 11mm. And you suggest those more expensive lenses for the cinematic footage eh? Is it their clarity or what makes them more cinematic?
Jumping in as well. The primes are "faster" (meaning winder aperture) so they create a shallow depth of field. I think if you only had the 11-22 - you could find that it's really wide. I always recommend getting a kit lens because of: ua-cam.com/video/z-x-d-K9Jfw/v-deo.html
There are very good primes: the 22mm that DJ suggested, the 32 f1.4, and sigma came out with three lenses 16,30,56 f/1.4 which are nice as well.
If you are going to shoot in 4K, you need the m6mkii. If you're going to shoot in 1080p, get the M50.
Hope this was helpful.
@@TechGearTalk SO HELPFUL! I don't need 4k, no one needs to see this mug in 4k. So I'll stick to the m50. I'd love to have the wide angle option as well as the prime 22m. I'll start working on the wife to get the purchase approved 😆. Thanks again for everything Sagi! Looking forward to your next peice.
Glad we were able to help my friend!
Thanks for a helpful review....
Looking to upgrade from a Canon 7D and have EF and L glass. Mostly photos...
was really watching to see how the M6 MKII faired :-)
I love my M6mkii for photos! Glad the video was helpful - thanks for being part of the channel!
Tech Gear Talk
I’m leaning towards the 90d as the upgrade only because I have all the EF and L glass. By the time I buy the view finder and lens mount, the M6MKII is more $ but it does have a few other features. But I’m really torn... thoughts?
Not sure canon will continue with the M mount, I could see them switching to RF on a M6MKIII. It doesn’t make sense investing in new mounts that only a few body’s support, IMO.
I plan to upgrade my canon M50, I like sony A6400 with kit lens, for video work, if I can only buy one or may be two extra lenses beside the sony kit lens, which lens would you suggest to buy? Sigma 16mm F1.4(cheaper but only for APS-C)? Tamron 28-75mm f/2.8 Di III RXD Lens(cost more, but also may use for full frame sony camera body)?
Great review. Just ordered Sony alpha 6400 in Amazon prime day in India. Waiting for it. Hope I have made a good choice for recording my drum videos in my studio for UA-cam. 🙂
Thank you and CONGRATS!!!
Which camera and lense combo would you recommend for image quality and sharpness, mainly using a 30mm prime lens for fishing photos with background blur, cheers
Hi there, both cameras would work. I would start with the kit lens because of: ua-cam.com/video/z-x-d-K9Jfw/v-deo.html once you realize what focal length you're using, you can pick between the 16 and the 30. Hope that helps Cameron. Thanks for being part of the channel!
I love your videos. One question, Do megapixels matter on these cameras? Like 24-32 respectively. I want to vlog while traveling and use it for photoshoots as well. Would megapixels matter much or is it about the lenses?
The lenses make a much bigger difference than the lenses. Thank you for the kind words. Hope thi was helpful!
@@TechGearTalk do you have a Lense you recommend to start? I want to vlog a lot. I’m still trying to decide which camera. It’s been the toughest decision lately. Which one would you say has better stabilization?
