Thanks to Eshel Art Photography for pointing out an error. I mislabeled the sensor in the A6400 as backside illuminated and its not. Please note that the DXOMARK website (where I got my info) is mislabeled.
Hi there. Could I just ask how you find the video on the S1. Have you compared it at all to the A7 III or Z6?
I love your videos. 😄 I wish I could meet you someday. 🇮🇳😅
also a6400 is body weather sealed
A6400 is not even focusing
hi. nice video : )
can i use my canon glass on the A6400 and getting in video mode all the focusing options ? like eye detection
thank's
The a6400 does have a weather sealed body. ☝️
i'm sooooo much more likely to watch a whole video when someone just cuts to the chase in the first 30 seconds. thank you for a concise thesis statement!
I was actually going to go with the 6400.. But the image and video comparison gave the a7iii a clear win
I’ve been waiting ages for someone to compare the A6400 and a7iii, thanks man! Very informative, clear and funny, great job. Just got myself and A6400 👍
That’s awesome! I hope you enjoy it 😁👍
In one point he is wrong sony A6400 have a weather sealed body✌🏻
someone: a7iii is the best!
someone: a6400 is the best!
dom: family is the best.
This is the most amazing review of my whole sony a6400 research day.
Ordered the a 6400 yesterday and seeing this now is so reassuring that Ive made the right decision 😂. Cant wait to get my hands on it tomorrow!
If the A6400 has body stabilization, it's the perfect machine.
For half the price - they cut the sensor in half. There's your difference, time saved!
Do you think, as like a beginner and hobby camera, the a6400 is good?
@@emmanuelbarboza7347 it's great, but if you have the option, the A7iii is better in most cases. Both are good cameras though!
@@emmanuelbarboza7347 what will you be doing with it? filmmaking? photography? if you're a full time and wanna be a filmmaker get the Gh5 Panasonic, it blows both a6400 and the A7iii with IBIS and 4k/60fps. if you're hybrid then a7iii is not a bad option but you don't have that sweet versatile flip screen nor that 4k/60fps.
@@Gabriel-jg5wh what about just like beginner though, the a7iii is good but a bit too expensive for me atm
@@emmanuelbarboza7347 a6400 should be good, its mostly the person behind the camera than the camera itself, just make sure to pick up some quality lenses
I've got myself the a6400 as a B-cam to my a7iii and I was also impressed by how close they are in performance and image quality 😁
Yeah it’s a really darn good little camera 😁👍
Is there a noticeable difference between field of view between APS-C and full frame? I need to get full body shots and it seems like it would be easier with full frame, but not sure if it's worth the difference in cost.
Thanks!
@@jeffb8824 the field of view is much smaller, but if you're shooting with a proper portrait focal length you need distance anyway.
"You don't need cinema level gear to make youtube videos". Exactly!
Depends on what you're making on youtube.
@@CheeseOnEverything you can get cinema level video out of the a6400 regardless.
Outstanding breakdown man. Been using my A6400 for a year and was thinking of upgrading. I never knew about the 30 minute limit.
I took my Canon Rebel T8i back to Best Buy today and exchanged it for the A6400, mostly because of your advice so I thank you since I am convinced I will absolutely love it. I'm a scuba diver so I've been stuck on the GoPro Hero for the past 5 years since I first went scuba diving, but decided it wasn't going to cut it now that I am going to be utilizing my Adobe Premiere abilities to make my own music videos and I had loved the Canon Rebel my friends had a decade back. Not knowing they cropped the sides in 4K. But it took ordering a DJI RSC 2 and the Rebel T8i not being listed in the compatibility section to get me to pull the trigger within my return timeframe. So thanks again for helping me make the (right) decision!
5:08 where is the a6400 even focusing at
Night and day when he switched
Definitely wasn’t using continuous af. It was hunting bad
The a6400 didnt seem in focus during the outside test. The a7iii appeared in focus. Strange....
Exactly
yep , picture was definitely sharper on the a7 .
Thats what he said reverse mechanism of advertising a 7 iii over a6400
@@mikldude9376 seems like he's using the kit lens.
Reverse physiology marketing ehhh..
But the Sony A6400 is weather sealed! I was reading the specifications to buy one and it says that it is (?)
The A7iii is twice the camera. Full frame, IBIS, better low light, better dynamic range.
Yep. He should have labled the title "for video".
Does the a7iii have the same auto focus technology as the a6000 🤔
@@whatznew8008 It blows away the a6000. It has the same focus system as the A9
@@whatznew8008 If you meant the a6400 then yes it is similar with the exception of the new focus tracking they gave the A9 as well which is cool.
wouldn't say twice, it's not worth the $1000+ price jump that's for sure.
I got the a6400 and already got to use it on a professional video shoot, its amazing!!! one thing thought, you said it has a backside illuminated sensor, I think the sensor is not backside illuminated.
Isn’t it? I got that info from the dxomark website but I guess they could absolutely be wrong too. I’ll look into it an pin a correction if I’m wrong.
I have both, I bought the a7 III first and after 2 years of sitting on the shelf I bought the a6400 and carry it with me all the time. The A7 III is great, but it's big and heavy. The A6400 fits in your pocket and does the same service. I've wanted a full frame all my life and when I have one I'm too lazy to wear it. Definitely the A6400 for me.
Having owned and used both of these cameras I would agree with everything said in this video. I am now using the a6400 as my primary camera because it is that good. #coachapproved! haha
Hello, do you use it for photography?
Is it good?
For video, get 6400. For stills get a7iii. Or 6400 if you want a light camera.
I am using the Sony A6400 together with a Sony 100-400mm 4.5-5.6. And this combo brings you effectively to 600mm 5.6. - at 24MP. am deeply into Wildlife and this helps me really a lot, the images are sharp and the Autofocus (both acquisition and tracking) is simply mind blowing. If I put my Sony A9 on the same lens I have to crop bringing me down to 10MP only when having the same FOW as with the Sony A6400. So for me the A6400 is a great addition to my Full Frame combo for Wildlife.
I just love your videos dude
Great stuff. Just subscribed. I like your style. Cheers, Cam
A6400 has weather sealing. Why you said that it's not on 5:50?
The audio sounded excellent. What level did you have the A7III set to? 20? Thanks. Good job as usual.
I agree, if you don't need full frame, the a6400 with the f1.4's can do a lot! I know some Fuji pros and their work looks incredible APS-C wise. The a6400 is a baby a7iii without IBIS and weather sealing.
… and without a headphones jack plus tiny batteries.
@@markshirley01 true, I find the batteries a huge issue compared to the a7iii now that you remind me
If you look closely the a6400 focus on the background during the audio test. His face is slightly out of focus where the background is sharp. Whereas the a7iii nailed focus on his face and the background is slightly out of focus. Not sure what settings he is using and if the is typical behavior of the camera just pointing it out. Thanks for the video.
How do you manage to do the videos which I always try to search on UA-cam and then finally end up finding them on your chanell! ❤️
This is my first time on your channel. Impressive review and comparison. I wasn't considering the A7iii at all but have been putting a lot of thought into the a6400. Your video has really helped push me a few more steps in that direction. Thanks. Oh, and I've now subscribed!
Totally superficial but, I LOVE YOUR RADIO VOICE!
Great video, thanks so much for this. But I noticed you weren't in focus at all during the a6400 audio test portion... I was blown because of how great I was hearing the auto focus was on the a6400. Did you notice this over the time you've used the a6400 since filming this video and was there a solution?
The Everyday Dad in 24 frames per second?!?! I didn’t think it would ever happen 😃😂
I’m just feeling it out to see if there is anything to this frame rate 😁
Ahh, okay! 😃
Boy Sony doesn't like you now... why?
Because you are 100% CORRECT.
Oh, well I’m saying to go out and get a Sony camera so I hope they wouldn’t mind 🤣
Great video. Thank you. Do you think the 6400 is a reasonable price for a smaller Channel around 2,000 subscribers, or is it still too expensive for that?
Thank you once again. Just got myself a a6400 and upgraded from my a5000 :)
An A7iii challenger with a flip up screen and great video quality for half the price? It just got interesting. Great video, Gary.
Thanks Jim!
i think 6400 is weather seal.. love ur video btw.
Thanks for this Erryday Dad. I was on the fence about these two cameras. I will be using the video more than photos. Subscribing
Dude we freaking love you ....I'm a small time film maker in Africa and this video saved my life and I really wanna start my career
The a7iii has Ibis... And the best lens for Sony Apsc (Sigma lenses) doesn't have oss.
It's pretty important on video, low light photography and long expo shots.
Great video bro
Thanks so much!
Low light video?
I never thought this video will make me like your content so much that I end up subscribing to your channel with the notification turned on.
Not even going to lie, the first clips looked exactly the same
I said the exact same thing.
Problem. A6400 does not have input to allow you to monitor recording sound levels :(. Is that a deal breaker do we 🤔 think
Love my A6400 but HATE the rolling shutter in 4K
Yeah the rolling shutter is horrendous.
Brother been off the grid for a bit with UA-cam due to my new business but man this was useful! I have had my hands on every alpha since a5000. The 6400 should have been my first! Unfortunately I have an A7III and the rx100MV, which combined on a shoot they are top notch. The IBIS saves me though when slick shooting on the road. Great review
Thanks so much and welcome back!
The Everyday Dad I actually got so pumped after your video that I went to Best Buy and got the body for around $850. I’m so impressed with this little beast. I shot some test footage of my anime figures in 4K 24/30fps and even without IBIS I had better performance than my A7III in 24fps with panning judder. Paired with the Sony Sonnar T E 24mm F1.8 ZA Lens it’s a dream on a gimbal
'coz I need a7iii and full frame sensor for PHOTOGRAPHY, not merely video.
You "neeeeed" it?
The real question is how much the a6400 can record at low light. Any good video out there to compare the A7III with the a6400? thanks in advance
I happen to have both. The A7iii is HEAVY compared to the a6xxx series. I use the A7iii more for photography, or if I’m going to do tripod style videos all day (better battery life). But for walk around, vlog, and just almost anything else, the a6400 size is just better and easier to use. I’m definitely considering selling the a7iii now that I finally got the a6400. Hmmmmm....
So in the aspects that you use your A7iii for photography. Do you feel comfortable the A6400 is good enough to replace that
Daniel Constant I like the a7iii mostly for its bigger size, speed, buttons and other features for photography especially for event or music/band photos. Image quality between the two is close enough for me, but the a7iii has the edge in low light. I used a 6500 before and the photos were definitely acceptable for what I do. (Product photos for small company, for web and basic small prints for brochures etc). So the 6400 would work well enough too. But there is definitely “something” about the a7iii for non-controlled photog situations.
@@ImChrisLuke Thanks that helps alot
@@DanielConstant00 no prob. i actually took the a6400 to a shoot last night, live band, dark stage. technically the camera worked very well. but physically i immediately missed the range of controls on the A7iii. the few more buttons, ease of selecting focus points with the joystick, etc. once i got a workflow for the a6400, it was ok (figuring things out on the fly haha), but definitely a bit slower than the A7iii, and that's when you can miss shots for this situation. so yeah it's more the usability for fast-changing situations that the A7iii would be a better choice. for me with my opinion, of course.
How is the low light of the 6400? Compared to the lowlight of the A73?
Good job! What was the audio recording level on the Sony A7III? Sounds good.
The picture quality (especially in 1080p) is night and day, A7 iii has a pro-quality not seen in my a6600 or a6400... regardless of compression, you can see there’s a clear difference in UA-cam projects A6400 vs A7iii.. I would upgrade but the A7 IV is so close
Only thing about the a6400/6500 is the rolling shutter in video. One reason why I sold my 6500... otherwise it’s pretty good! Keep up the good work!
SeeYee Xiong it’s better in 1080p
It's weird but true that you can't find a compare VDO for A73 with A6400. Thanks for making this :D if you don't mind please make another one regarding photography capability. Many people mention about the color science that's been upgraded from A6300. So I would like to see if there is a significant changes there. Cheers!
The color in the a6400 and A7III are now the same if you plan to use out of camera color. As far as photography, the only decision you need to make is whether you want the full frame look, take full advantage of full frame lenses, or carry all that bigger full-frame gear. Dynamic range, and low light arguments when you're likely shooting RAW are a bit moot.
@@chosenideahandle thanks now I have made the decision and I have the A7iii already. I feel that I have made the right decision. :D
@@poom_laupat I don't think you can go wrong either way if you can afford it. They're both great cameras for video or photography.
This is great. The only thing stopping me from selling my a7iii and buying the 6400 is low light performance. Can you PLEASE do some side by side night time video with these two? Pretty please?🙏😊🖤
+1
+1
Why would you? the a7iii is better. The 6400 is amazing because it performs almost the same for half the price. I will upgrade to the a6400 because of the price and I already have great apsc lenses so going full frame would be too expensive
Also low light performance on full frame will always be way better than a crop sensor one
Marcelo Mur except for vlogging size.
You're like that uncle who's jokes don't really land but you still like him. Great video and completely agree!!
If you have the budget for only one versatile lens for a6400, which one will give you the best possible quality in studio portrait photography, sport photography, as well as low light filming? The only thing I know for sure, you nedd OSS lens for a6400, right?
Thank for doing this. 😊 You were recording part of this video with the Panasonic S1?😊 Looking forward to your review on that camera.
Yeah the talking head was done with the s1 👍
Spot on 🙌
Thanks man! 😁👍
A7iii for me due to photography. If I was just videoing then 6400.
I totally agree 👍
I actually like my 6400 for photo better than video. Get amazing photos with the sigma lenses
@@3Torts what about landscape photography??
just the video i was waiting!!!
Was just thinking the same thing the other day. 🤟🏽
Great minds think alike 👍
But Dad, WHY do you lose facetracking AF in 4k with ext monitor? it does not make sense.
yoda man!!! one of my fave reviewers on the internet :)
I pity those who just watch this video alone and conclude to buy the A6400. Both cameras are great but they are supposed to be used for different scenarios. You really need to look at the benefits of the A7iii: Dual SD card slot, better low light, full frame sensor and sensor stabilization...especially!
People know those things, but what you listed make almost zero sense for the audience for which the video is intended. Dual card slots in a day and age when flash memory failure is almost unheard of anymore, full frame for video is usually quite pointless (most professional video cameras are Super 35), low light capability is almost on par, and the difference negligible with Sony's crap CODEC anyway, IBIS is hardly a solution to shaky video, and if you're a photographer you buy longer focal lengths with OSS anyway.
New Vlog Comin’ via a6400!

The focus I on the grass during audio test
Hey there everydaydad and everyone. I'll start off by saying that I already got the a6400, yes it's impressive, only a matter of choosing the correct lenses now and a FEW OTHER knick knacks.....(few other - pun intended).
I noticed in this video that during the 'mic' field test, the a6400 couldn't focus on the subject, rather it did on the background. The a73 quickly adjusted it's focus. Should this be considered a problem or is it 'that one unlucky time' it happens? Maybe even the wrong settings.
Great review! Just a question.. can the battery be charged when in use like the A7iii?
Ok big question now that you’re like, close to a pro photographer ;) do you feel like the a6400 can be a professionally used photography camera? Other than sensor size is there even a major difference?
Hey Dad, what about lowlight recording? comparable?
Forget about these!!! The A7IIIS is here!!
What about photography capabilities? How do they compare?
For photography you can't really put them against each other. If you're a pro that wants a full-frame look, only full-frame will do. If you're not a pro, and just want a great camera, then you'll do well with an a6400. That being said I know pros who shoot video and stills with lesser cameras.
Can I borrow your a6400 haha JK I wonder if they ever go on sale my budget is 700! Awesome video as always
Ha! 🤣. Thanks so much! 😁👍
Around 6:14 he says the 6400 is not weather sealed but I keep seeing websites that says it is and videos that say it is. Are they wrong?
On the a6400 the video vlogging test was clearly out of focus 🤔
Yeah it was on a gh5 with manual focus. It’s not a test of the a6400 it’s just a shot of me walking around with it.
With all due respect, the A6400 is NOT better than the A7III. I own the A7III and I owned the A6400 for like a week. Until I decided to just get a second A7III. The A7III is a better camera due it the in body stabilization and the fact its full frame. Not to mention he battery like. I went on a 3 day shoot recently and I had 3 batteries. I used 2. Never touched the 3rd or the charger and I shoot in 4k @ 24 FPS. Well worth the extra cash. APS-C cameras aren't bad, but full frame is the way to go!
Totally agree with you. For vlogs and non professional uses the a6400 is fine but doesn't quite cut it for paid gigs. The a7iii is where it's at. I'm gonna return the 6400 before the 14 day return period is up... currently debating on another a7iii or going big with the a9.
Why would you buy two of the same camera? Just curious.
drummerdude several reasons. If you’re shooting a wedding and your camera breaks, you can finish the job with the same camera and the same quality. For me personally, I want one to stay in my studio set up for filming at all times and one, possibly 2 in my bag at all times. Redundancy
@@drummerdude100 Aside from the reasons listed from M30 media. I usually have 3 camera bodies on me when I shoot weddings and events. I use two of the bodies and have the third one as a backup. It's great to be able to have one camera with a 24-70mm and the other with a 70-200mm lens to get a variety of shots. Even for engagement shoots, to speed up my workflow I'll have one body using a 35mm and the other using an 85/135mm lens. The time it takes to switch a lens out of a camera means having to work with the client to get them back into the mindset.
That does make a lot of sense. I’m just getting into film and photography and have seen a few people mentioning owning 2+ of the same camera. Thanks for answering.
i needed this one!!
You have explained it all and well!!!
For anyone considering this camera the overheating issue has NOT been resolved. I upgraded my a6300 because I was told the a6400 does not overheat that is a LIE. The a6400 WILL overheat which happened to me during a gig where I had to record 12 minutes continuously outside in the shade! My a6400 turned off after 5 minutes and 12 seconds the client was beyond furious as this was a one tale type of deal for a product. If you’re inside AC doing UA-cam videos great but if you’re thinking about using this for professional work get the a7iii the bigger body handles heat MUCH better. I have since sold my a6400, just food for thought.
Hello The Everyday Dad. I just want to start a part time business on wedding videography.
Now I considering either want to choose Sony Alpha a6400 or Sony Alpha a7 II.
Would you please give me an insight which one better to choose to start with.
And also which lenses I can choose for better option.
Many thank in return for your help.
This makes sense if only they hadn't remove IBIS from A6400.
The bokeh on the a7iii is wayyy more impressive
4:38 is that his mom? I knew he still lived with his parents 😁
Thanks for this detail review. I’ve been watching many videos comparing this two cameras since i want to purchase either one of them, but i cannot decide witch one to get. The price point range between this two is huge, but i also don’t want to lose image quality. You see i want to start my UA-cam Chanel and i don’t know witch one will serve me better for this purpose. Sure many people would probably say the a6400, but here’s the thing i also want to do weeding videography so, if im to invest on a gear, i want to buy something that’s up to the challenge for both scenarios, vlogging and filming professional videos for clients too. So if you can advice me on witch camera should i buy i would appreciate a lot. I cannot have the luxury of buying cameras every time a new one comes out meaning im planing to keep this one for many years to come.
In body stabilization and full frame sexiness make the A73 worth the extra grand in my opinion.
Were the settings in both camers the same on the outside comparisons? I know it was an audio test, but I noticed the greens seemed to pop more on the A7iii. TIA.
Both were in picture profile 1 with no other changes 👍
how to enable this function @ 07:30 (as a CANON user that really confused with those bunch of setting on SONY A camera..)
This video is what I needed to decide what gear I need to buy.
That’s awesome I’m glad it was able to help 👍
Thank you for your recent videos I've been recently looking at cameras to buy that can do both photography and video content and I've been looking at the LUMIX G85 and after looking at that video you released really helped but also I'm looking at the a6400 which is more travel friendly as I'm on budget. plus knowing theres more savings for lenses
did you notice the a6400 was out of focus during the audio test?
ahah true.
the background is totally in focus
@@JetBen555 yep, and it didn't adjust the whole time
i enjoy my a7iii and have two lens (35/85) and wanting the get the a6400 but i primarily use my a7 for photos
That’s what I’d probably end up using my a7iii for.
@@TheEverydayDad mhm its light and compact enough also wished i bought the tamron 28-75 instead of my 35 but oh well
Skip the 6400. I'm returning mine. If you do video or photography professionally, just expense another FF camera to your business.
IMHO 6400 was made for occasional shooters and vloggers.
In the footage with the a6400 at 5:30 you are almost in focus, but not quite.. Was the autofocus on?
A7III = Image stabilization + full-frame. Game over. If you're just a vlogger, then yes these are just small "details" for you. But from a filmmaker/content creator perspective this is no fair comparison between the cameras
Thanks again for a fast but detailed video (not a Sony user) -- but did I miss it, or did you do a video yet on the S1????? I'm a Panny-FanBoy (say that three times real fast!), so I can't wait to hear your thoughts on the S1/S1R!
How noisy is the kit lens if using a Rode mic. Can it be picked up when in AF. This is on my list for outdoors content. Good video brother!
I haven’t tried it yet but you can’t hear the autofocus in the kit lens if that’s what you’re asking.
@@TheEverydayDad Yes and thanks.
The video is obsolete right now after fw3.0... BUT it would be nice to compare them after the new FW.
The looks of this video is very different
Than your other video
Did you change something?
But as always your videos give us a lot of information
Thank you for your hard work
He shot this in 24 frames per second - he normally shoots 30. This looks so much better, I hope he continues on the 24 path 😊
