I got the A6600 3 years ago and could not be happier with it. even after 3 years of use, it does the job for me exceptionally well and still haven't use all its functions.
A6600 is the clear choice for me a year later. And thanks for showing, not just telling. It's so much more interesting when the presenter limits his screen time to emphasis and identification, not just (me blah blah blah blah). It's a vlog, not a podcast. You deserve more subscribers.
I'm a Nikon guy using a used a6xxx with just a pancake lens attached beginning with a6000. It's been my go-getter camera I use for scouting - test and preview of my construction business. I have always liked the sturdy, sleek and minimalist design of Sony a6xxx cameras that can fit in any bag. I always upgrade if there's a used unit at ebay or amazons with a good price. The game changer for me to give away my a6300 along with its battery grip and batteries (retaining the pancake lens) is Sony a6600's FZ100 battery. I'm not into the imaging features of Sony a6xxx cameras considering I have my Nikons.
so the a7iii does not has the real time eye af in video mode but the a6600 has? im sorry im not sure i heard it right from your video. thanks for this great video :)
ok thanks. this is a hard decision then for someone like me as a videographer. looks like sony really want to push the videographer to move up to A7RIV. think im just gonna have to wait a little bit longer for A7SIII.
I'm upgrading from the a5100. I was thinking A7III, a6400, a6600... but now I'm not so sure. lol. After this video I can cross the A7III off my list... but I still don't know if the upgrades from the a6400 to the a6600 make it worth the price.
The sigma asp-c primes (16mm 1.4, 30mm 1.4, 56mm 1.4) are super highly rated and MUCH MUCH cheaper than their full frame equivalents. Canada pricing: a7iii + Zeiss 50mm f1.8: $3,677 a6600 * sigma 30mm f1.4 (45mm equivalent): $2,300 I do think the A7iii is better, but the lenses are soooooo expensive, and the body is quite a lot as well. If you're a pro, then the a7iii is probably worth it, but for a hobbyist it's too pricey.
Hi Damien, thanks for the comment and for your kind words, glad you enjoyed our video. The NEX 7 is a great camera but the line-up has come a long way since then. Let us know if you have any questions about the new model.
Glad to hear you took the plunge Damien Milk :) The AK 4000 is rated for a max 4kg payload and the A6600 is only 503g which leaves around 3.5kg left over for whatever lens you choose, hope you have fun with your new toy.
Do you think the image stabilizer is a big deal to create telephoto zoom stills or video on A6600 compare to A6400. I read that you can get lens with stabilizer but they must be expensive know ? tx
Well, I have both a7III and a6500 and the colors are killing me... So often I gotta borrow a friend's a7III or a6400 just for the colors cuz a6500 has the old ones... Gonna try my best to get rid of my a6500 and buy the a6600... I started to use a7III wih 24/1.4 GM for youtube but maybe it's gonna be better with the real-time eye af and sigma 16/1.4, what do u think, huh? oh, and finally, great video, loved it!
Hey Dan Iliev, thanks for the comment and glad to hear you liked the video. Colour science is super important these days especially when matching two cameras. The 24mm f/1.4 GM is a fantastic lens, we had one to shoot parts of this video and it's incredible, a great lens to take full advantage of the video eye-AF. Not sure how a sigma lens will work with the video eye-AF though, I'd assume they'd work but maybe test it out in-store before you buy just to make sure.
What about low light performance? That is the most important issue for any camera when you face a low light situation, something photographers and videographers have to face often.
every knows the full frame out performs apsc in low light as long as it's in the same generation. For example, the 2019 a6600 outperforms the 2013 full frame Sony a7 mark 1. But the a6600 does not yet outperform the 2015 a7 mark 2. The current 2018 a7 mark III way outperforms the 2019 a6600.
Wow, over 200K views of a gear video, congratulations. At 4:59 you mentioned "new touch shutter" function. Actually, it is not new, it was introduced in the A5100 in August 2014. The A5100 had touch screen but the A6000 (February 2014), and A6300 (February 2016) didn't. Then Sony added touch screen to A6500 (October 2016), but simply forgot to add touch shutter. Now, with the A6600 (August 2019) touch shutter is back again after 5 years.
Thanks for the quesion Hussein k, since the release of the A9 the Sony camera's no longer support the timelapse apps, which is a bit frustrating for anyone who purchased them already. Luckily with the A6600 there is two ways you can create timelapses. The first uses the S&Q mode in the Quick setting to create a time-lapse video in camera, the longest interval between shots is 1 second. The second is using an Interval Recording mode that can capture still images with the longest interval being 60 seconds between shots, maximum number of shots is 9999 and you'll need to create the timelapse sequence on your computer rather than in-camera. Hope that helped to answer your question and sorry for the long reply.
How about a comparison video now that the A7III has received real time eye/ Animal auto focus after the firmware update? I think the record limit is also removed from the A7III . The A6600 is still using the old sensor from the A6300 which is outdated and just got a new processor. whereas the A7III has a new sensor + processor
Im using the A7iii for a year now and its amazing, I love it (photography and video) I'm looking forward to get two 6600 as camera B and C, any thoughts on this?
Hey ,great Vid! I'm in the process of buying a Sony A7SIII and am wondering if I should get a 6600 (16-55/2,8) or an A7III(16-55/2,8) as a side cam. I use it mainly for 4K video and also often shoot events in the evening or people directly in front of the camera where I also want to have the surroundings on it. I need a Side-Cam for simultaniously captures. I also do not want any difficulties to put both recordings together. What would you (guys) recommend to me?
Hey, I want to purchase an Apsc camera, I have 2 options, first is zv-e10 at 720 dollar or 60k INR with kit lens, second is a6600 body only at 790 dollar or 66k INR. Which one I should buy.
I have an old NEX6 and looking for an IBIS camera for casual use. Have several APSC lenses and spare batteries. Don’t need a bigger grip. Deciding between the a6500 vs the a6600. How much different is the autofocus tracking? Looking to photograph family, pets, portraits and landscapes. Which would you recommend?
If you're located in Southern California, someone is selling brand new units of the Sony a6600 for $1080 no tax. I was so happy I bought 2 and thought I'd share. Just go on OfferUp and search for a6600!
What about when u plug a monitor? I know the a6600 doesn't black the camera screen with the monitor attached, but it keep the continuous focus ability?
I was choosing between these two. Doesn’t seem like Canon is investing in the EF-M lens nearly as much as Sony is in the E lens. And Sony has better lens today! If is wasn’t for that I would have gone for the m6. Instead I just ordered my a6600. Just which it had a built in flash.
Hey Travel Addict, thanks for the question. Both cameras would be good short film cameras but the A7iii does have a slight edge if you'll be shooting in natural light because of the larger full frame sensor, if you want that shallow depth of field look I would also recommend the A7iii. But if you're taking the time to light your scene either camera should do a great job. Another thing to consider is whether you're shooting on a large set with a crew or more of a one person run-and-gun production because then weight and size also become a consideration. I hope this helped to answer your question and I'm glad you learnt a lot from the video.
I'm interested to know if the a6600 would be suitable for live streaming of church services. Other camera's I'm considering are the Panasonic GH5 and the Canon XA55 Professional 4K Video Camera. The primary purpose is live streaming but would also produce short video pieces as well. Would value your opinion.
amazing review, thank you so much! I'm still not sure which camara I want because I'm between getting a sony or a canon for youtube + for really good pictures. but your review was still really great, thank you!
I love low light shooting but I only have 1 full size lens next to like 6 aps-c. So... Probably a6600 over the current a6000 (which gets noisy quite fast)?
The a6600's image quality is significantly better and less noisy than the a6000.. I was even surprised when I moved from the a6000 to the a6300 and now this one is even better..
@@oliversteiner0815 with each generation the Sony's ISO gets better and better. For instance the a6600 ISO now outperforms the full frame a7 mark I, however doesn't out perform the a7 mark II yet. With that being said the same thing goes for the full frame, a7 mark III is by far the ISO beast, can't imagine what the a7 mark IV will be like!
@@NickL0VIN I agree, but a while ago I switched from tha A7 II to the A6300 and the little one actually felt like it had better image quality. When it came to JPEGs, colors and shadow recovery (DR) at higher ISOs..
@@oliversteiner0815 I definitely agree with you there. The a6300 is about 15 months newer than the a7 II, so the a6300 has much newer tech. I'd go with the a6300 over the a7 II as well in terms of ISO & sensor image quality. it's all about the same tech- same generation. Given the same tech same gen. the full frame will always outperform the APSC in terms of ISO.
@@NickL0VIN True. For me however, Sony's recent APS-C cameras, with some fast glass, are good enough (plus small and leightweight). A little bit of noise won't kill me, I usually don't need ISOs above 3200 and on a print you will barely notice a bit of grain anyways..
a6600 can be used for weddings. We would suggest A7MK III beacuse of the full frame sensor and dual card slots, which are a must with weddings. Full frame sensor will give you better crop potential and low light performance and dual card slots gives you redundancy just in case one of your cards fails.

That's a simplest and greatest review, keep up the great work Brother, I just want to know, does this have any heating issue when shooting for long time in 4k with higher frame rates and can we shoot while charging (& via Power Bank)is this have clean HDMI Output?,
Interesting, I also purchased the SONY A6600 but the image resolution only goes up to 20mp? under JPEG menu image sizes L-20M, M-10M and S-5.1M I thought this camera produced 24M images?
I still crave the image quality from FF cameras and a proper lens, but decided to upgrade to what's essentially the flagship APS-C combo: A6600+16-55f2.8G. It does the job better than I could use it.
Between both, there is no clear cut winner in “image quality” a6600 is also very sharp what is mor noticiable is obviously the depth of field, full frame is a lot easier to get that buttery creamy bokeh. I have both, I carry around the a6600 far more than the a7iii just for the reason that paired with a 35mm oss It literally still fits in my jackets pocket with the lense attached to the body. Also, lenses are far cheaper and the sigma lenses are INCREDIBLY Sharp, paired with the ibis you have a perfect setup.
Very nice review of the A6600. But as I'm planning to use this camera on a drone, i need the camera to be able to record in 4k and output 1080 at the Hdmi port at the same time. Can it do that?
Hey, i am thinking to get one of those cameras. I am currently using the a6000. As i shoot a lot of pictures of my dog i am wondering which camera is better? a 6400, a6600 or a7iii? Can you recomend me one of them? I mostly take pictures with the sony 50 mm f1.8 lense and the sigma 35mm f1.2. lense (The a7iii is at the moment on sale here in Germany so its not about the price). I Would be happy for an answer! :)
There's one thing that's loweredmy opinion of the Sony cameras lately: Poor weather proofing. Meaning, you can't trust it to keep the water out in rain. And I do a lot of outdoors stuff. If Sony could improve on that, I'd be happy.
Good video! I also have 5 E-mount APSC lenses from my Nex5 days sitting in a drawer as a weighty pro... And so I wonder if I can plug a USB stick into the 6600 and get the 6600 to write to it like it was a secondary card :p Lastly, the the next 6800 model or whatever they'll call it might just have 2 card slots?
I have an old NEX-6 and 4 lenses ranging from basic kit to Zeiss. I’ve had occasional “lens not identified” errors with 2 lenses so I think it’s about time to upgrade the body. I’d consider myself a mid-level travel/family photographer for fun (not pay). I’m on the fence considering the A6600 and maybe adding the 16-55 f2.8 G or just ditching the apsc altogether and going full a7iii or upcoming replacement, and a couple lenses. I appreciate the small apsc size for travel (hiking the NaPali coast with the smaller camera was nice) however I’m a big dude and can handle a little more weight if necessary.
Nice review which addressed really relevant points with both models. Am I just getting carried away by the "Full Frame Kudos"? It is a dilemma which to choose - perhaps I need to get both? Like the cat too!
This year I've had the A7 III, then bought Z6 as I saw a great deal, but it's true, full frame requires more money and as a Engineering student, I don't use it as much for filmmaking as I'd like to. So I'm looking at cheaper options, would the A6600 fit in? Or would you guys recommend any other camera in the mid grand range? Ps low light is important but a 1.4 lens will probably do...?
You may wan to look at the A6400 , it has many of the same features of the 6600 except the smaller battery but the price difference can be up to $700 with that you can buy a 2 prime lenses and a gimbal
@@SavageScientist yes that was my exact thought... Although when shooting travel videos, I won't take a gimbal as it is too big... but yes, the 700 dollar difference for bigger battery and IBIS is huge. Are there any other feature differences?
Hello sir , i am confused between the two cameras,i am more inclined towards the a7iii but again worried of the continuous af tracking in video mode. What do u suggest ??
I think if you wanted to shoot more vlogs then the continous eye autofocus is a distinct advantage. On the other hand the A7iii does still have continous video autofocus it just doesn't have eye-tracking in video. If you plan to shoot more still images and having a smaller size camera isn't super important than maybe the A7iii is the right choice. I always recommend trying the cameras out in store if you can. Hope that helps.
Hey Ananta Vrindavan, thanks for the comment. From what we tested the HDMI output is still the same as the A6500. If there's something specific you want us to check we can have a look when the cameras are in stock.
Great review, and to the point. I am starting my UA-cam channel and ig page etc and I am highly considering the A6600, then again would love suggestions for Canon or other content creator Cameras. If you were just starting and need a vlogging/you tuber/content creator/instagram well rounded lense and could only afford 1 lense to start out what would you suggest? I heard Sigma has good lenses (not sure on size recommendations) but I was just going to get the A6600 with the lense it is marketed with. Thank you for the help!
Nice to find a video that doesn't start with the obnoxious "Wassup Guys!". Great video, as a wildlife shooter I think it'll have to be the A7iii but if I had the money I'd buy both
Hi LostinOC, thanks for your question. According to the specifications sheet for the A6500 and the A6600 the IBIS system is the rated for the same 5-steps of image stabilisation, so looks like it's the same. Hope that was helpful.
One of my biggest gripes with the A6600 is that Sony didn't improve the 20Mp sensor. And that the placement of the eyepiece makes this camera much better for people who are Left Eye dominant.
So the Real Time Tracking is only activated by touching the screen? What if you use your camera in Viewfinder only mode, like I do? Shooting wildlife I find I don't need the screen on.
Hey Triple070007, thanks for the comment. Real-time tracking is activated by touching the screen in the video mode. In the stills mode it can be activated by simply half-pressing the shutter and real-time tracking will start from where the focus box is located in the frame. I hope that answers your question.
Hey Mario thanks for the comment, glad you enjoyed the video. Resolution-wise the sensors are quite similar but the A7iii should able to create a more shallow depth-of-field because it's bigger. I'd recommend taking an sd card in-store when the A6600 is in-stock so you can set both cameras up with similar settings, take some test shots and see for yourself. Hope that helps, sorry we couldn't be more definitive.
If video is your priority, and video eye AF is important to you. I’d choose the a6600 hands down. All the other video features, they both have it close to even.
I opted for the A7iii and a Tamron 28-75mm f/2.8 lens for about the same price as an A6600 and the new 16-55mm f.2.8 lens. IMO, that is a no- brainer in a decision making process. I kept the A6600 (with a battery grip to equal the A6600 battery time)...
TYPO... I meant to write that I am also keeping my A6400 which with the battery grip using a pair of batteries has approximately the same battery capacity as the A6600 with the larger battery. Plus I have the option of using the vertical composition shutter button AND I can also carry the camera withiut the battery grip for a lighter weight combination...
Hi Lothar, thanks for your comment. The A6600 and the Canon M6 II are pretty close in specs. The Canon has 8 additional megapixels, whereas the A6600 has a built-in viewfinder, sensors are a similar size & both cameras have video eye-AF for vlogging but only the A6600 has real-time tracking for stills. We havn't got our hands on the M6 II yet to review it but I suspect that other big differences would be ergonomics & battery life. Keep an eye on when the cameras are in stock so you can try them out yourself. Hope that helped a little bit.
@@lotharjoseph5040 buy the canon or the a6400, this sony is an overpriced apsc with the AF and the battery as its few redeeeming qualities. Same old sensor, only usb 2.0, single slot uhs i, still poor ergos and menus, etc.
Which is a good entry level budget camera for filmmaking-? Is sony a6300, sony a6500, panasonic gh5, Lumix? Which one is better for feature filmmaking? Please help me
Thank you for the video! I'm looking to get either the 6400, 6500, 6600 or a7iii and will be adding the sony 90mm g macro lens. Will be used primarily for photos of my reptiles and also family activities and the like. Would love your opinion on those or any other recommendations you may have. Thanks much, Ryan
@@NickL0VIN thanks man, I actually went with the a7iii and 90mm macro ! Still tons of learning to do but definitely some sweet gear. I'm on FB and IG @Biotoxicexotics if ya want to check out some geckos haha

Does the Sony app do auto image transfer to the phone? This would be a good enough substitute to me for a second card slot!

Which camera would you suggest the Sony a6600 or canon m6 mark ii ? and thank you for the great review
I was choosing between these two. Doesn’t seem like Canon is investing in the EF-M lens nearly as much as Sony is in the E lens. And Sony has better lens today! If is wasn’t for that I would have gone for the m6. Instead I just ordered my a6600. Just which it had a built in flash.
Does this camera record gps on the picture and/video files?
Hi sir which camera is the best short film and UA-cam vloging use ....
I have a question: if you’re making a short film, which camera would you choose? Great content. Learned a lot from you.
Hey Travel Addict, thanks for the question. Both cameras would be good short film cameras but the A7iii does have a slight edge if you'll be shooting in natural light because of the larger full frame sensor, if you want that shallow depth of field look I would also recommend the A7iii. But if you're taking the time to light your scene either camera should do a great job. Another thing to consider is whether you're shooting on a large set with a crew or more of a one person run-and-gun production because then weight and size also become a consideration. I hope this helped to answer your question and I'm glad you learnt a lot from the video.

@@TalkingPicturesbyDCW but the A7iii have a limit recording of 30minutes no ? And the 6600 dont have
I pay attention to this for a long time. Currently using A7, your evaluation video is very detailed, thank you for sharing.
Thanks for the comment and for your kind words. Glad you got something out of the video.
excellent video. thanks for the info. I have subscribed to your channel. Greetings from Buenos Aires, Argentina
I'm interested to know if the a6600 would be suitable for live streaming of church services. Other camera's I'm considering are the Panasonic GH5 and the Canon XA55 Professional 4K Video Camera. The primary purpose is live streaming but would also produce short video pieces as well. Would value your opinion.
amazing review, thank you so much! I'm still not sure which camara I want because I'm between getting a sony or a canon for youtube + for really good pictures. but your review was still really great, thank you!
I love low light shooting but I only have 1 full size lens next to like 6 aps-c. So... Probably a6600 over the current a6000 (which gets noisy quite fast)?
The a6600's image quality is significantly better and less noisy than the a6000.. I was even surprised when I moved from the a6000 to the a6300 and now this one is even better..
@@oliversteiner0815 with each generation the Sony's ISO gets better and better. For instance the a6600 ISO now outperforms the full frame a7 mark I, however doesn't out perform the a7 mark II yet. With that being said the same thing goes for the full frame, a7 mark III is by far the ISO beast, can't imagine what the a7 mark IV will be like!
@@NickL0VIN I agree, but a while ago I switched from tha A7 II to the A6300 and the little one actually felt like it had better image quality. When it came to JPEGs, colors and shadow recovery (DR) at higher ISOs..
@@oliversteiner0815 I definitely agree with you there. The a6300 is about 15 months newer than the a7 II, so the a6300 has much newer tech. I'd go with the a6300 over the a7 II as well in terms of ISO & sensor image quality.
it's all about the same tech- same generation. Given the same tech same gen. the full frame will always outperform the APSC in terms of ISO.
@@NickL0VIN True. For me however, Sony's recent APS-C cameras, with some fast glass, are good enough (plus small and leightweight). A little bit of noise won't kill me, I usually don't need ISOs above 3200 and on a print you will barely notice a bit of grain anyways..
Hey there. I was just curious if you think the 6600 could make some decent prints at 20x30? Cheers!
I'm looking for a camera to do a real estate video. Does sony a6600 will be a good option? Thank you))
I want to buy a camera for weeding shoots so which one is best in both the cameras a7miii or a6600 ?
a6600 can be used for weddings. We would suggest A7MK III beacuse of the full frame sensor and dual card slots, which are a must with weddings. Full frame sensor will give you better crop potential and low light performance and dual card slots gives you redundancy just in case one of your cards fails.

Want to know one thing...I'm a beginner, which one would be ideal for Black and white and street photography ? My budget is little stiff
I don’t buy the a6600 because the rolling shutter effect. I have a a6400 and i buy the a7 III only for filming and maybe photo.
That's a simplest and greatest review, keep up the great work Brother, I just want to know, does this have any heating issue when shooting for long time in 4k with higher frame rates and can we shoot while charging (& via Power Bank)is this have clean HDMI Output?,
Interesting, I also purchased the SONY A6600 but the image resolution only goes up to 20mp? under JPEG menu image sizes L-20M, M-10M and S-5.1M I thought this camera produced 24M images?
which of them is best for still shots
thanks for the video! really helped me decide on which one i was up against.
the cat cameo means instant thumbs up. Also, good review, thanks for the info.
I still crave the image quality from FF cameras and a proper lens, but decided to upgrade to what's essentially the flagship APS-C combo: A6600+16-55f2.8G. It does the job better than I could use it.
Between both, there is no clear cut winner in “image quality” a6600 is also very sharp what is mor noticiable is obviously the depth of field, full frame is a lot easier to get that buttery creamy bokeh. I have both, I carry around the a6600 far more than the a7iii just for the reason that paired with a 35mm oss It literally still fits in my jackets pocket with the lense attached to the body. Also, lenses are far cheaper and the sigma lenses are INCREDIBLY Sharp, paired with the ibis you have a perfect setup.
Image quality is not a factor for me because I rarely see it
HI,what is the quality of FullHD video? on Sony 6500 its not great.
Is the 6600 good for portrait shooting outdoor and in studio?
thank . which is better in DOF ?
Very nice review of the A6600. But as I'm planning to use this camera on a drone, i need the camera to be able to record in 4k and output 1080 at the Hdmi port at the same time. Can it do that?
Hey, i am thinking to get one of those cameras. I am currently using the a6000. As i shoot a lot of pictures of my dog i am wondering which camera is better? a 6400, a6600 or a7iii? Can you recomend me one of them? I mostly take pictures with the sony 50 mm f1.8 lense and the sigma 35mm f1.2. lense (The a7iii is at the moment on sale here in Germany so its not about the price).
I Would be happy for an answer! :)
Good info thank you for the update
Thanks for the no BS, wolesome, well explained and straight to facts review!!!
Thanks for taking the time to write us a lovely comment Ed. Glad you enjoyed the video, we'll try to keep them coming.
No BS and unfortunately no IBS so it's a no from me. Gh5 all the way.
There's one thing that's loweredmy opinion of the Sony cameras lately: Poor weather proofing. Meaning, you can't trust it to keep the water out in rain. And I do a lot of outdoors stuff.
If Sony could improve on that, I'd be happy.
APSC sony mount lens can support full frame ?
great info, such good and entertaining presentation
does A6600 keep AF face priority in 4K while connected to gimbal?
Good video!
I also have 5 E-mount APSC lenses from my Nex5 days sitting in a drawer as a weighty pro...
And so I wonder if I can plug a USB stick into the 6600 and get the 6600 to write to it like it was a secondary card :p
Lastly, the the next 6800 model or whatever they'll call it might just have 2 card slots?
I like the outtakes at the end!
Glad you liked the outtakes Kevin, got to have a bit of fun right?
@@TalkingPicturesbyDCW yes yes!!!!
I have an old NEX-6 and 4 lenses ranging from basic kit to Zeiss. I’ve had occasional “lens not identified” errors with 2 lenses so I think it’s about time to upgrade the body. I’d consider myself a mid-level travel/family photographer for fun (not pay). I’m on the fence considering the A6600 and maybe adding the 16-55 f2.8 G or just ditching the apsc altogether and going full a7iii or upcoming replacement, and a couple lenses. I appreciate the small apsc size for travel (hiking the NaPali coast with the smaller camera was nice) however I’m a big dude and can handle a little more weight if necessary.
Thanks
hii... i want to buy a mirrorless camera specially sony... but i don't have enough budget... about $750..plz suggest
Nice review which addressed really relevant points with both models. Am I just getting carried away by the "Full Frame Kudos"? It is a dilemma which to choose - perhaps I need to get both? Like the cat too!
This year I've had the A7 III, then bought Z6 as I saw a great deal, but it's true, full frame requires more money and as a Engineering student, I don't use it as much for filmmaking as I'd like to. So I'm looking at cheaper options, would the A6600 fit in? Or would you guys recommend any other camera in the mid grand range?
Ps low light is important but a 1.4 lens will probably do...?
You may wan to look at the A6400 , it has many of the same features of the 6600 except the smaller battery but the price difference can be up to $700 with that you can buy a 2 prime lenses and a gimbal
@@SavageScientist yes that was my exact thought... Although when shooting travel videos, I won't take a gimbal as it is too big... but yes, the 700 dollar difference for bigger battery and IBIS is huge. Are there any other feature differences?
Hello sir , i am confused between the two cameras,i am more inclined towards the a7iii but again worried of the continuous af tracking in video mode. What do u suggest ??
I think if you wanted to shoot more vlogs then the continous eye autofocus is a distinct advantage. On the other hand the A7iii does still have continous video autofocus it just doesn't have eye-tracking in video. If you plan to shoot more still images and having a smaller size camera isn't super important than maybe the A7iii is the right choice. I always recommend trying the cameras out in store if you can. Hope that helps.
Which one is better for photography?
how about over heat problem ??
Excellent review. Loved your content.
Thanks for the comment Mahmud!
which one is better for wildlife photography?
The eye tracking not available on the a7iii in video mode just killed it for me. Going with 6600. Thanks for pointing that out
99999999o0op
any changes on HDMI output to external recorder like Atomos?
Hey Ananta Vrindavan, thanks for the comment. From what we tested the HDMI output is still the same as the A6500. If there's something specific you want us to check we can have a look when the cameras are in stock.
Great review, and to the point.
I am starting my UA-cam channel and ig page etc and I am highly considering the A6600, then again would love suggestions for Canon or other content creator Cameras. If you were just starting and need a vlogging/you tuber/content creator/instagram well rounded lense and could only afford 1 lense to start out what would you suggest? I heard Sigma has good lenses (not sure on size recommendations) but I was just going to get the A6600 with the lense it is marketed with.
Thank you for the help!
For sony a6600 check out the 18-105 f4 Gmaster
Nice to find a video that doesn't start with the obnoxious "Wassup Guys!". Great video, as a wildlife shooter I think it'll have to be the A7iii but if I had the money I'd buy both
A6600 is the reason I bought A7III.
For your further enhansment
A7iii has great problem with shutter
@@fotodrone4932 Not for me
@ateb3 people's have been reporting their shutters failing on a7iiis
Is a6600 will be gud enough for weeding shoots ?
is the IBIS upgraded from the a6500?
Hi LostinOC, thanks for your question. According to the specifications sheet for the A6500 and the A6600 the IBIS system is the rated for the same 5-steps of image stabilisation, so looks like it's the same. Hope that was helpful.
It's the same
it is the same piece of crap.. useless in video
@@georges8408 that bites.
One of my biggest gripes with the A6600 is that Sony didn't improve the 20Mp sensor. And that the placement of the eyepiece makes this camera much better for people who are Left Eye dominant.
24mp. Better processor, same sensor.
So the Real Time Tracking is only activated by touching the screen? What if you use your camera in Viewfinder only mode, like I do? Shooting wildlife I find I don't need the screen on.
Hey Triple070007, thanks for the comment. Real-time tracking is activated by touching the screen in the video mode. In the stills mode it can be activated by simply half-pressing the shutter and real-time tracking will start from where the focus box is located in the frame. I hope that answers your question.
Thanks so much for the review. Can't help but wonder which of the two cameras produces better and more crisp stills. Any hints? Trying to decide
Hey Mario thanks for the comment, glad you enjoyed the video. Resolution-wise the sensors are quite similar but the A7iii should able to create a more shallow depth-of-field because it's bigger. I'd recommend taking an sd card in-store when the A6600 is in-stock so you can set both cameras up with similar settings, take some test shots and see for yourself. Hope that helps, sorry we couldn't be more definitive.
Short and sweet! Thanks man
Glad you liked it Keegan Hubbard, thanks for the comment.
So when’s Sony coming out with new sensor. 32 pixel?
If video is your priority, and video eye AF is important to you. I’d choose the a6600 hands down. All the other video features, they both have it close to even.
Honestly I thought it was 1 extra custom button. Its 2 more than the a6400? And bigger battery? This is getting tempting.
Excellent video! Great points and helpful in steering me in the right direction.
I opted for the A7iii and a Tamron 28-75mm f/2.8 lens for about the same price as an A6600 and the new 16-55mm f.2.8 lens. IMO, that is a no- brainer in a decision making process. I kept the A6600 (with a battery grip to equal the A6600 battery time)...
Hey Richard thanks for the comment. The A7iii amd the 28-75mm is a killer combo hope you're enjoying it.
TYPO... I meant to write that I am also keeping my A6400 which with the battery grip using a pair of batteries has approximately the same battery capacity as the A6600 with the larger battery. Plus I have the option of using the vertical composition shutter button AND I can also carry the camera withiut the battery grip for a lighter weight combination...
Can we say A6600 better than canon M6II ?for both purpose photography and vlogging?
Hi Lothar, thanks for your comment. The A6600 and the Canon M6 II are pretty close in specs. The Canon has 8 additional megapixels, whereas the A6600 has a built-in viewfinder, sensors are a similar size & both cameras have video eye-AF for vlogging but only the A6600 has real-time tracking for stills. We havn't got our hands on the M6 II yet to review it but I suspect that other big differences would be ergonomics & battery life. Keep an eye on when the cameras are in stock so you can try them out yourself. Hope that helped a little bit.
@@TalkingPicturesbyDCW thank you so much...yes it helps....i must wait until one month later then i know everything well before i buy one of them
@@lotharjoseph5040 buy the canon or the a6400, this sony is an overpriced apsc with the AF and the battery as its few redeeeming qualities. Same old sensor, only usb 2.0, single slot uhs i, still poor ergos and menus, etc.
Which one is good for video A7III VS A7R4?
A7iii
Which is a good entry level budget camera for filmmaking-? Is sony a6300, sony a6500, panasonic gh5, Lumix? Which one is better for feature filmmaking? Please help me
Great question. All have their pros and cons. Do you have any existing gear that can still be utilised on the Sony or Panasonic systems?
Thank you for the video! I'm looking to get either the 6400, 6500, 6600 or a7iii and will be adding the sony 90mm g macro lens. Will be used primarily for photos of my reptiles and also family activities and the like. Would love your opinion on those or any other recommendations you may have.
Thanks much,
Ryan
If it's primarily photos and without artificial light I would go with the a7iii.
@@NickL0VIN thanks man, I actually went with the a7iii and 90mm macro ! Still tons of learning to do but definitely some sweet gear. I'm on FB and IG @Biotoxicexotics if ya want to check out some geckos haha
