Agreed, I appreciate the concise comparisons and contrasts. My take on it, is that while the apsc can emulate some effects of full frame, the full frame can be pushed as well, beyond the limitations of the apsc. Camera system vs camera system, the full frame wins. Factors like price, size, and weight, that is the photographer's part of the process.
Truly...this is the best exposition on the subject I've seen. And the decision-making method, at the end, was an unexpected bonus. It could be applied to so many things...
Best comparison videos I’ve seen. Straight to the point, no BS, no fanboying, no advertising, no flaming any arguments, not too much technical that bores viewers. You, sir, are rare among content UA-camrs these days. Definitely sub and like your videos, bro. Keep up the good work 👍
While I agree about the price in general (full frame is a lot more expensive!), it was maybe a bit unfair to compare A6400 with a kit lens to a A7 III with a 16-35 GM.
That's true:) I was thinking youtube studio instead of lens gear. YOu could get the 10 18 and all the sigmas and come out roughly where the16 35 is priced now. Also if the tamron 17-28 is as good as it's 28-70 brother thins will start to look a lot different. But I though lets make the point as clear as possible. And since the camera is marketed as a youtuber vlogger camera I though that is a fair way to go as well. But I agree the lens comparison was unfair:)
Excellent 👍 video and review! I would agree with this comment and perhaps 10-18 Sony would have been a better option to use. But it's not the point of the video. I was highly considering full frame and this video has certainly enlighten my decision to stick with my Sony a6000 and just upgrade me lenses.
This is just not about choosing cameras.... This is about how to make the correct decision in life... Just don't make blind decision.... Really enjoy it bro👍🏻
Probably one of the most well structured and reasoning comparison video I've ever watched. Thank you very much for the big effort you've put in. Very helpful. I'm enlightened
After watching over 100 videos comparing the above, I wanted to saying as well...best comparison video mate! Clear analytic comments, no annoying music, analysis for amateur and pros, examples. You got it all, subscribe button clicked!👍🏽
A wonderful video. Budget is definitely a big concern for hobbyists like me, who are not getting paid back for the photography. And for most of the real life situation in which I shoot, results wont differ much, as I dont plan to sell those photos, but happy with sharing it with friends are sending those to some competitions. So, it is going to be APS-C for me.
Thanks so much for taking the time to make this video, really appreciate it. I was considering an a7iii . . . I currently have the 6500 with 70-200 f4 / 18-105 f4 / and sigma 16 f1.4 . . . that little kit packs well and covers all my needs. I think I'll keep working on my skills rather than spending more money, and creating more bulk with gear I'm not capable of maximizing. Thanks again.
Cool! That is really good reasoning. IF in the future the real need for full frame presents itself, you will be more skilled and able to make use of full frame. Excellent:) And thanks for the nice comment, Eric! Much appreciated:)
I have 2 a6500, I was on the verge of going to a7iii.. found your channel while browsing youtube a few weeks ago.. I owe you a few beers, you saved me money time and efort. staying with my a6500 ..I've watched a lot of videos over the last 4 years since I got back into taking photos. I used to be on om2s and Ilford b&w in the 80s.thanks mate.
This has got to be one of the most informative videos I have come across on here. I got my a6400 last year after upgrading from my a6000. Definitely in no rush to go for a full frame camera as the a6400 gives me everything I need. Just need to make more time to go out and take more pictures, save up and more lenses :). Keep up the good work!
Dude you make some of the best videos i have seen explaining things and comparing camera/lenses etc. I cant believe you dont have more views. Keep grinding you are too good!!
never seen any video as detailed like your's on this subject. The sheer amount of work you put up is astonishing! thanks for helping and sharing your knowledge in the most effective manner which is clean, legible and articulate rather than promoting some coffee brews ;)
The best comparison video (not just for cameras) I've watched yet! I love how you made all the detailed comparisons/explanations clear and precise! It could be better if the costs of lenses are included but still, great job!
That's a fair point, my reasoning though was this. The reason to go full frame is basically the lens options with more dynamic range coming in second - at least in my book - though that is also debatable. Most sony APSC cameras, or at least the overwhelming majority, I see use the 16 50 kit lens - whereas I hardly ever see the A7III with its 28-70 anywhere - truely rare occurence I think. From a technical point of view it is absolutely an unfair comparison, even with the sigma 16mm f1.4 that I had with me, but was too stupid to put on, it would have been an unfair comparison. However I did the comparison with the 16-35 because it is one of the most used lenses and one of the ones that attract many people to full frame sony cameras. At least that's what I gather from talking to people on- and offline. It does exaggerate the difference in price, but I did it anyway, because I wanted to compare setups that from where I stand at least are commonly used. And I really really almost never see the 28-70 full frame kit lens used.... So you're right to point out the problem. I hope I gave you an answer that makes sense to you still:) Again, Greetings!
well it is by far the best and the most clearly detailed and at the same time unfortunately the most underrated video I have came across on this subject. thank you very much! cheers!
Could you lend me that money that you are saving then? ... he just talked me out of buying an APS-C . Looks like I have no choice but to get a full frame 🤷🏻♂️
Great video. I would extend this from 2/3" sensors on up to medium format. The point is that there are differences amongst all of these and each has its benefits and weaknesses. This is the argument for micro 4/3 and to a somewhat lesser extent APSC, versus full frame. "Full frame" is kinda arbitrary when in fact the sensor is a whole lot smaller than medium format. Seems that all the "advantages" of full frame over APSC would be even more apparent when comparing a medium frame camera to a full frame camera. Bottom line is that what matters most is whether you will actually have the camera with you. The bigger the camera, the more likely it stays at home.
Im just getting started in photography. I have been trying to figure out where to start (full frame / aps-c) and this video is the most helpful, well explained video I have come across. Thanks for taking the time to make this video. Really was brilliant.
This is the best and most informative comparison video of it's kind that I've ever seen. You covered all of the bases so well, with rigor, yet easy to understand. Masterfully spoken. I will look for you again and tell my friends about you. Thank you so much.
Fantastic video! I own the Sony A6400 and have been really unsure whether I should get the A7iii or not. This video really helped me make the decision. I'm staying with the a6400. The main reason for this is your last point (which is genious): Look at the challenges of your work, translate them in technical terms and work backwards to make your decision. 99% of the time I record from my office studio in a very controlled environment. A6400 is more than good enough. Thank you, bro!!
Hey! Would it be good to use the a6400 for landscape photography! I just post pictures on Instagram and printing isn't something i do frequently! Please 🙏 enlighten me with your advice
Hey, this is an excellent video. Showing all the things you can buy for the price of a A7iii+16-35 was one of the best ideas I have seen recently. I know this video must have been a lot of work. Just a few comments: 1. Comparing the APS-C Kit Lens to full frame is maybe not the best comparison (scene at the fountain) because it is one of the worst lenses there is (except for the form factor of course). 2. There is the Sigma 18-35 1.8 that many people are using maybe this would be an option if you want a good zoom lens for APS-C what do you think (of course not enough wide angle for your construction site scenario I guess). 3. The night time video at 13:48 the picture on the left (APS-C) seems to have much more detail. I wonder why? Is it because it is a prime lens on APS-C?
Thanks, Bernhard! True, that was a poor choice on ym side having the 16mm sigma with me.....just a mistake. I served to get the point across but I would have been able to show you more clearly with the better lens. That was just stupid of me:) The 18-35 for stills is very good, but for video the AF performance is not solid let's say. I wasn't impressed at all when I tested it for video. Stills though, great. And great lens in general:) Good point! I think so. The Sigmas are insanely sharp. I also manually facused both cameras for the test using the little camera screens, I might just have been off with the 16-35 a bit. I literally did the tst before I had to ship the lens back, so that is momething I am unhappy with. My other guess is that the processing is different and the in camera sharpening kicks in differently, even when using the unaltered standard profile which I made sure I did with both cameras....I can't tell you for sure. The 16 35 is a really sharp lens...I think next to a manual focus mistake of mine it probaly is the processing or ta combination of both. in third place the sharpness of the sigma. The video with these sigma lenses and internal sharpening turned on within the picture profile is nothing short of amazing......in your experience, what do you think is likely the case for the difference?
@@Mark10ProVideo Hey thanks for the answer. If you have been manually focusing this could be the cause because looking at the rear screen it is hard to see what is in focus even when turning on focus peaking or zooming in. But of course it could be that an APS-C prime lens is still sharper than a Full Frame Zoom lens, esp. wide open.
Thank you for this review, I bought Sony 6400 and became a little bitter after couple months thinking I should upgrade to full frame, but after this review I'm solid happy about my purchase. Can't thank you enough for your easy to understand and implement review ❤️ I made couple videos on my chanel if anyone is interested in video quility of Sony 6400, with Sony 18-135 3.5-56 and sigma 16mm. Cheers 🤙
Im selling my a6500 and was going to either get the a6600 or the a7iii but you have shown me full frame doesnt necessarily mean better, in the real world i can get the same results from a crop sensor for less money! :) thankyou ill be buying the a6600 and keeping my 30mm sigma 1.4 lens !
Awesome video. I've been catching up on your earlier stuff while I wait for my a6400 to arrive. This video made me hit the notification button too. Very logical breakdown and the care you take in your real world examples really drive your points home. two thumbs up!
Yeah, I even had the sigma with me right there and then...just careless. But it did get the point across I was trying to make and my idea was that you probably will get full frame as soon as you need a lens that APS-C won't offer, that's why I wanted to do the comparison with one of the gms....should have used a better lens with the 6400 though, that's right:)
Which lenses would you suggest for 6600 camera. Just for video productions interior controlled environment. Lots of close shots like hand made products.
What file format and record setting would you advise for someone using the A6400 for UA-cam videos who is trying to be somewhat conservative about file size but still wants a happy medium of quality? These XAVC S 4K files are massive. Great videos by the way, you saved me TONS of time and the elaborate detail you go into is very much appreciated.
I would then simply go to xavc-s hd and shoot @ 50 mbit. That will cut the filesize about in half. Use a sharp lens and set the in camera sharpening to maybe plus 1 or 2 and you will get very nice crispy footage for about half the filesize. Thanks for the nice compliments! Much appreciated:) More questions? Just ask.
Excellent video! I have gone from a 6300 to a 6500 and now the A73 I take photos but possibly more video.I have invested a lot of money into full frame lenses and truly for my use I find the full frame a pain in the arse and from my point of view I prefer the results I was getting with my two APSC cameras in both videos and photos.I haven’t done much in the way of video or photos at night that might be the only redeeming factor of the A73 but as I mainly shoot during the day it is not so important to me.I have other more professional video cameras but l love the size and weight of the APSC.I have a 10-18 f4 lens APSC and other now redundant glass but will keep them if Sony announces a more interesting new APSC.I totally agree with your view on the comparison between the two size setups..
Lowlight performance is one of the redeeming factors, but morso because of the lens options than the sensor/pixel size I think. I would not own an A7iii body if the deal hadn't been too sweat to pass on and I didn't see a real need for some full frame lens options. AND if the super 35 mode wasn't as good, so I can use my aps c glas, I still wouldn't own one:) Thanks for the nice comment, Howard:) Much appreciated!
Again , everybody want a perfect camera , althoug their job mostly don't need it, let's face it , the biggest camera sell is on youtube creator 😊😁😂 and our content is more than 50% being watched on smartphone with 5-6 inch display, but it's always tempting to watch camera review and comparison hahaha
Probably the best point ever. People can't tell the difference between 8k and 1080p with a sharp lens and a good sensor on their phone:) Agree abput watching the comparison videos though:)
Finally, thanks, thanks, thanks! this video included everything I ve been waiting for since the release of the a6400. Also thanks for using the sigma lens lineup. Can you make a special portriat comparison with a6400 sigma 30mm f1.4 or 56mm f1.4 vs a7 iii 50 mm and 85 mm in the near future? I feel like there was only few portrait picture in the video. I want to see more so i can decide which one to get
Excellent video! The best I have seen so far after watching 20 plus reviews, comparisons and recommendations on Sony A7, A6000 series and lenses here at UA-cam.
To have really lots of views you need a hot girl in the video.... maybe you think this is dumb but maybe it's about the dream of camera nerd getting the hottest girls fulfilled (sorry, just watched Stranger Things maybe this influenced me a little bit haha)
Should have used the Sigam at least,. that's true. Then again to get the point across I was making in that comparison, which is dynamic range, not image quality with everything that goes into that, it still served well, because that is mostly a quality of teh sensor, not the lens.
Well, since i use AF 24GM f1.4, 35mm f1.4, and 85mm f1.4, this whole theory of mimicking it on the APSC is null and void. I didn't buy my full frame to use f/2
If APSC had plenty of high quality AF primes at f/0.9, and quality zooms at f/1.8, pretty sure most would switch to APSC. But those f stops I mentioned is never happening (or it can, but the lenses will be just as equally big as full frames), hence most pro shooters will always be using FF. You can't cheat light, physics, and math. The bigger the lens, the better (assuming all other things equal), but like TubeNoob said, just by how much better? A little or a lot? That is subjective!
This channel is amazing. Even photography noobs like me can understand the information in the video. This was the third video I watched from you and so far I've haven't seen photography channel that explains the topics better than you. Awesome! Keep up the good work.
Bob Coco My workflow felt faster with the Gh5 bc transferring files with Sony is the most time consuming and convoluted process, but the ease of use camera and smaller form factor makes the a6400 funner to use
I must admit that I was thoroughly impressed by your detailed approach to comparing these sensor types. Not only was your speaking clear and concise, but the photographic examples were on-topic and relevant to what you were conveying. If I were a teacher and you handed me this as an assignment, I would give you an A+. I think I am content with my APS-C sensor after all... :)
Damn that was great!!!! You made 18 min go by so fast, and I couldn't look away. Super easy to understand, even "compression" is making sense now. I use a Sony a6000 and mostly Sigma 30 f1.4 and so happy with the results I get, plus the smaller size of the whole package makes me want to take it everywhere. This video is just more confirmation that I have exactly what I need at this time. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!!!!
Full Frame shines best when shooting high iso in low light. Cleaner images. Only reason I shoot on full frame. If you dont shoot high iso than it dont really matter. Save money and get apsc. I got A7r iii and A6400.
@@shaolin95 The diff in bokeh between FF and apsc is hardly noticeable in real world practice. 99% of people cant tell what was shot on FF or apsc. The 1% that get it right are guessing. DR if your comparing current gen cameras are practically the same. FF will give better DR in low light. But in good lighting (with flash/strobes/good natural light) the diff (if any) is very minor. Majority of people dont shot very wide angles. Most people will only need 24/28mm wide angle glass. If you need something wider than 20mm than FF will give more glass options.
In many years as a photographer who consults youtube for all manner of reasons, this is the best video on this topic I have ever seen. The production quality is also superb with comparisons and meaningful samples. Excellent ++, A+++ work.
Brilliant video !! Thanks a lot, I already knew most of this stuff but your explanations are superbly thorough and the equivalence reminders are just great.
This is the most comprehensive and informative comparison video I've seen! Fantastic examples and tips plus terrific outline of the decision-making process at the end. Thank you!
One of the most intelligent, clear and totally gasless video comparisons I've seen on ANY topic. This was very useful to me in considering whether to upgrade to the A6400 or A7III. And, it was a great primer on how to make the A6400 sit up on its hind legs and act like a big dog. Vielen Dank. Sehr gut gemacht!
Seen another vid of yours recently, this is the second one I've watched. That logic at the end & example is perfect for basically all 'equipment' selection, and for that reason, you just got a subscriber.
In short, get full frame if you're bad at math
😂😂😂
Great comment 😂 .....unless you're a bean counting accountant.
Say less lol
Lee ZXun - say no more, you just described me 😂
hands down , this is the best Full frame & APS-c comparison so far , thanks a lot . wish to see more from you .
Thanks a lot, Anas! Much appreciate the nice comment:)
Agreed. Good insight and tips. Been looking at other videos comparing to help me decide. This was helpful. Cheers mate.

and a bit unfair comparing a zoom vs a prime lens lol 1.4 should be vs 1.4 not 2.8...
he should have put a 16mm sigma f1.4 350€ on aps-c and on full frame FE Sigma 24mm f1.4 DG HSM Art 700€ so that there is no lens advantage.
Miika Ylhäinen notice the same thing.
This is just not about choosing cameras.... This is about how to make the correct decision in life... Just don't make blind decision.... Really enjoy it bro👍🏻
Thanks a lot man for your nice and thought out comment:) Many greetings!
From one teacher (30+years) to another , very well done. Probably one of the best tutorials on UA-cam.
Much appreciated, John! Thank you very much for the nice compliment!

Thanks, Techno Dad! Much appreciated:)
Excellent! You pulled so many factors together in an interesting and easy-to-understand format. Well done!

Thanks a lot for the nice comment, Murat! Much appreciated:) Greetings!
Excellent video! Dude you are absolutely killing it! Keep it up. Subscribed 😊
Thanks for the support, man! Happy to hear you enjoyed the video:)
Great reasoning! You just talked me out of "over buying" a full frame camera when my aps-c makes better sense.
Excellent:)
Could you lend me that money that you are saving then? ... he just talked me out of buying an APS-C . Looks like I have no choice but to get a full frame 🤷🏻♂️
This is the most fair handed and to the point video I have come across. amazing job. Thank you.
Thanks a lot, man! Much appreciated!
Amazing information. Thank you so much for your hard work! I don't see myself switching to full frame anytime soon.
Great video. I would extend this from 2/3" sensors on up to medium format. The point is that there are differences amongst all of these and each has its benefits and weaknesses. This is the argument for micro 4/3 and to a somewhat lesser extent APSC, versus full frame. "Full frame" is kinda arbitrary when in fact the sensor is a whole lot smaller than medium format.

I have been checking Camera reviews about this comparison and you are simply the best ! Thanks !
No problemo! Thanks for the nice comment, Juan D Diaz:)
Best video I've seen on the subject matter thus far.
Thanks very much:) Happy to hear that!
One of the best comparisons of the two types on UA-cam. Thanks man.

Or keeping it native (with good autofocus), the new 18-135 is a very good zoom lens, and these days is often sold with a6xxx bodies as a kit.
Thanks, Bernhard! True, that was a poor choice on ym side having the 16mm sigma with me.....just a mistake. I served to get the point across but I would have been able to show you more clearly with the better lens. That was just stupid of me:)
The 18-35 for stills is very good, but for video the AF performance is not solid let's say. I wasn't impressed at all when I tested it for video. Stills though, great. And great lens in general:) Good point!
I think so. The Sigmas are insanely sharp. I also manually facused both cameras for the test using the little camera screens, I might just have been off with the 16-35 a bit. I literally did the tst before I had to ship the lens back, so that is momething I am unhappy with. My other guess is that the processing is different and the in camera sharpening kicks in differently, even when using the unaltered standard profile which I made sure I did with both cameras....I can't tell you for sure. The 16 35 is a really sharp lens...I think next to a manual focus mistake of mine it probaly is the processing or ta combination of both. in third place the sharpness of the sigma. The video with these sigma lenses and internal sharpening turned on within the picture profile is nothing short of amazing......in your experience, what do you think is likely the case for the difference?
Good point! Good choice:)
@@Mark10ProVideo Hey thanks for the answer. If you have been manually focusing this could be the cause because looking at the rear screen it is hard to see what is in focus even when turning on focus peaking or zooming in. But of course it could be that an APS-C prime lens is still sharper than a Full Frame Zoom lens, esp. wide open.
The clearest explanation and widest coverage of topics with examples yet
Cool! Love to hear that:)
You deliver information and comparisons very effectively, thank you.
Thank you for this review, I bought Sony 6400 and became a little bitter after couple months thinking I should upgrade to full frame, but after this review I'm solid happy about my purchase. Can't thank you enough for your easy to understand and implement review ❤️
I made couple videos on my chanel if anyone is interested in video quility of Sony 6400, with Sony 18-135 3.5-56 and sigma 16mm. Cheers 🤙
Happy to hear that! Thanks for the nice comment, Danielius, much appreciated:)
Im selling my a6500 and was going to either get the a6600 or the a7iii but you have shown me full frame doesnt necessarily mean better, in the real world i can get the same results from a crop sensor for less money! :) thankyou ill be buying the a6600 and keeping my 30mm sigma 1.4 lens !
I bought the A6600, better battery etc and sigma 16mm plus 30mm 1.4. I love it, no regrets. 56mm next, whoop whoop!
So far the best camera video I have ever watched on UA-cam, no click bite, no bullshit, pure gold useful content entire video
Thank you very much:) Appreciate the nice comment!
Awesome video. I've been catching up on your earlier stuff while I wait for my a6400 to arrive. This video made me hit the notification button too. Very logical breakdown and the care you take in your real world examples really drive your points home. two thumbs up!
Awesome to hear that, babs Craig! Thanks so much for taking teh time to write such a nice comment! Much appreciated
I love it. I heard the sigma 30mm 1.4 was good for a6400, your vid shows that. I'll take the whole UA-cam set up for the $3500 lol
one of the best videos I've ever seen, i learned a lot, thank you.
Cool! love to hear that!
Best and detailed comparison i´ve seen so far! Very good work, thank you
Thanks a lot for the nice comment, ReWind99!
I learn so much from you it just blows my mind. Not often do I sit through an eighteen minute video. Thanks for sharing your knowledge!
You are so welcome!
3:55 kinda unfair that you used a kit lens vs a 1500$ g master lens. Great video though! I'm sticking with my a6500 now.
Yeah, I even had the sigma with me right there and then...just careless. But it did get the point across I was trying to make and my idea was that you probably will get full frame as soon as you need a lens that APS-C won't offer, that's why I wanted to do the comparison with one of the gms....should have used a better lens with the 6400 though, that's right:)
That’s a great camera!! I have the kit lens with it and an a7iii too but I always have the a6300 with me cuz it’s pretty pocketable with my jacket
full frame isnt worth it. unless you a pro . but even that APS-C is much cheaper you can do a lot if you know how to do post editing
Which lenses would you suggest for 6600 camera. Just for video productions interior controlled environment. Lots of close shots like hand made products.
What file format and record setting would you advise for someone using the A6400 for UA-cam videos who is trying to be somewhat conservative about file size but still wants a happy medium of quality? These XAVC S 4K files are massive. Great videos by the way, you saved me TONS of time and the elaborate detail you go into is very much appreciated.
I would then simply go to xavc-s hd and shoot @ 50 mbit. That will cut the filesize about in half. Use a sharp lens and set the in camera sharpening to maybe plus 1 or 2 and you will get very nice crispy footage for about half the filesize.
Thanks for the nice compliments! Much appreciated:)
More questions? Just ask.
@@Mark10ProVideo Will do, thank you!
@@MorePlatesMoreDates nice seeing you here! Love the vids btw very informative as always keep it up!
@@Mark10ProVideo also amazing information loved the vid!
Precise, informative and to the point. Wouldn't have found a better video/description than this. Kudos 👍👍
Much appreciated!
That was the best analysis I've heard so far! Everything you said makes a ton of sense!
Cool! Love to hear that:)
Fantastic breakdown of the differences. I needed it laid out this simply. THANK YOU.
No problemo:)
Excellent video! I have gone from a 6300 to a 6500 and now the A73 I take photos but possibly more video.I have invested a lot of money into full frame lenses and truly for my use I find the full frame a pain in the arse and from my point of view I prefer the results I was getting with my two APSC cameras in both videos and photos.I haven’t done much in the way of video or photos at night that might be the only redeeming factor of the A73 but as I mainly shoot during the day it is not so important to me.I have other more professional video cameras but l love the size and weight of the APSC.I have a 10-18 f4 lens APSC and other now redundant glass but will keep them if Sony announces a more interesting new APSC.I totally agree with your view on the comparison between the two size setups..
Lowlight performance is one of the redeeming factors, but morso because of the lens options than the sensor/pixel size I think. I would not own an A7iii body if the deal hadn't been too sweat to pass on and I didn't see a real need for some full frame lens options. AND if the super 35 mode wasn't as good, so I can use my aps c glas, I still wouldn't own one:)
Thanks for the nice comment, Howard:) Much appreciated!
Man, that was comprehensive, methodical, concise, and yet so simply explained! I especially loved your explanation of the decision making process!
By far, the best video I watched about this topic. Thank you!!
Again , everybody want a perfect camera , althoug their job mostly don't need it, let's face it , the biggest camera sell is on youtube creator 😊😁😂 and our content is more than 50% being watched on smartphone with 5-6 inch display, but it's always tempting to watch camera review and comparison hahaha
Probably the best point ever. People can't tell the difference between 8k and 1080p with a sharp lens and a good sensor on their phone:) Agree abput watching the comparison videos though:)
Mantap Bang 😅
bang laiqul nyampe sini njirrr :)
NEVER BEEN GLADLY PREACHED THIS WAY BEFORE. SO MUCH DETAIL AND SO MUCH EASY TO FOLLOW. THANK GOD UA-cam ALGORITHM LEADS ME TO YOUU 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Very happy to hear that! many greetigns to you, Fergy!
great review! clear, concise and... clear
This was so well done and explained. Good job man.
Finally, thanks, thanks, thanks! this video included everything I ve been waiting for since the release of the a6400. Also thanks for using the sigma lens lineup.
Can you make a special portriat comparison with a6400 sigma 30mm f1.4 or 56mm f1.4 vs a7 iii 50 mm and 85 mm in the near future?
I feel like there was only few portrait picture in the video. I want to see more so i can decide which one to get
You could have added the Sigma F1.8 Art lenses for APS-C
There's a couple of lenses i would have liked to add, but couldn't because of budget restrictions:)
I’ve seen many videos on this subject. This is by far, the best! Good job!
Glad it was helpful!
Excellent video! The best I have seen so far after watching 20 plus reviews, comparisons and recommendations on Sony A7, A6000 series and lenses here at UA-cam.
Cool! Love to hear that!
I feel lucky to have both 🤤
A6400 + A7riii 🔥❤️
Lucky guy:)!
I own both too.
I own none.
"A full frame camera should be able to pay for itself by the work you do with it".. There's the answer u all been looking for. End of discussion
I absolutely agree with this but you'd get your money back and be in profit faster with apsc and with very few comprises.
Good one!
Wieder ein tolles Video mit viel nützlichen Informationen. Und dazu schöne Shots aus Stuttgart. Grüssle and Oma ;-)
Rofl, richt ich aus:)
Yours is the best comparison. Thank you for the time and effort
113 views....
I still can’t understand.
Thank you for your time and effort.
Luckily, it picked up a little since then:) Thanks for the nice comment, Eugen!
This guy makes great videos.
To have really lots of views you need a hot girl in the video.... maybe you think this is dumb but maybe it's about the dream of camera nerd getting the hottest girls fulfilled (sorry, just watched Stranger Things maybe this influenced me a little bit haha)
@@budgetphoto 😎😂
Crazy to read this comment now
You compared image quality based on results of a $100 kitlens on APSC while had a $2000 GM lens on FF.... Lmao
Should have used the Sigam at least,. that's true. Then again to get the point across I was making in that comparison, which is dynamic range, not image quality with everything that goes into that, it still served well, because that is mostly a quality of teh sensor, not the lens.
TubeNoob well a better lens would have shown a difference in dynamic range too
Thanks you. This is the best explanation of APSC vs Full Frame I have seen and I have seen many.
Wow, thanks!
This is a standout tutorial and comparison. After MONTHS of trying to decide, I think you finally helped me get there!
Well, since i use AF 24GM f1.4, 35mm f1.4, and 85mm f1.4, this whole theory of mimicking it on the APSC is null and void. I didn't buy my full frame to use f/2
Fair enough:)
If APSC had plenty of high quality AF primes at f/0.9, and quality zooms at f/1.8, pretty sure most would switch to APSC. But those f stops I mentioned is never happening (or it can, but the lenses will be just as equally big as full frames), hence most pro shooters will always be using FF. You can't cheat light, physics, and math. The bigger the lens, the better (assuming all other things equal), but like TubeNoob said, just by how much better? A little or a lot? That is subjective!
Sounds like a bmw forum...should I get a M3 or settle with a 340i Msport? Just get whatever you want!!!

This channel is amazing. Even photography noobs like me can understand the information in the video. This was the third video I watched from you and so far I've haven't seen photography channel that explains the topics better than you. Awesome! Keep up the good work.
thank you very much! That is super nice of you to say! Many greetings!
THE BEST review on these 2 cameras. I've been going back and forth since November, and NOW it's all clear. Thank you.
No problemo! Thanks for the nice comment, USC Radiology Residency Coordinator:)
3:11 holy hell the equipment you get for the price of a7 III and the lens 😂
Your love for the a6400 keeps reassuring me that selling the gh5 for it was the right move!
Very interesting decision, how did it impact your workflow (what's better or worse, depending on what you do)?
Bob Coco My workflow felt faster with the Gh5 bc transferring files with Sony is the most time consuming and convoluted process, but the ease of use camera and smaller form factor makes the a6400 funner to use
Yes You make right decision, someone else get cheaper that great body and probably making pro content
For what you want to do it is the perfect fit in my opinion.:) You were in Berlin?? Nice!
TubeNoob I agree, the gimbal is highly necessary for clean shots though!
Yes I spent two weeks in Switzerland and Germany
I must admit that I was thoroughly impressed by your detailed approach to comparing these sensor types. Not only was your speaking clear and concise, but the photographic examples were on-topic and relevant to what you were conveying. If I were a teacher and you handed me this as an assignment, I would give you an A+. I think I am content with my APS-C sensor after all... :)
Cool! Love to hear that:)
Damn that was great!!!! You made 18 min go by so fast, and I couldn't look away. Super easy to understand, even "compression" is making sense now. I use a Sony a6000 and mostly Sigma 30 f1.4 and so happy with the results I get, plus the smaller size of the whole package makes me want to take it everywhere. This video is just more confirmation that I have exactly what I need at this time. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!!!!
Mic Drop. This video wins for comparison discussion.
😎
Full Frame shines best when shooting high iso in low light. Cleaner images. Only reason I shoot on full frame. If you dont shoot high iso than it dont really matter. Save money and get apsc. I got A7r iii and A6400.
sure if you completely ignore DOF control and DR, and wider lenses...
@@shaolin95 The diff in bokeh between FF and apsc is hardly noticeable in real world practice. 99% of people cant tell what was shot on FF or apsc. The 1% that get it right are guessing.
DR if your comparing current gen cameras are practically the same. FF will give better DR in low light. But in good lighting (with flash/strobes/good natural light) the diff (if any) is very minor.
Majority of people dont shot very wide angles. Most people will only need 24/28mm wide angle glass. If you need something wider than 20mm than FF will give more glass options.
One of the best videos i have seen on this subject 👍🏼 subscribed!
In many years as a photographer who consults youtube for all manner of reasons, this is the best video on this topic I have ever seen. The production quality is also superb with comparisons and meaningful samples. Excellent ++, A+++ work.
Thank you very much for that super nice comment:) Much much appreciated, westporter1!
Your explanation is very clear and easier to understand than other videos. Thank you!
No problemo! Thanks for the nice comment, Cook dat Food:)
Brilliant video !! Thanks a lot, I already knew most of this stuff but your explanations are superbly thorough and the equivalence reminders are just great.
Love to hear that! Thanks for the nice comment:)
Awesome video, easy to understand, an direct to the comparison
Thanks, David Alonso!
This is the most comprehensive and informative comparison video I've seen! Fantastic examples and tips plus terrific outline of the decision-making process at the end. Thank you!
No problemo! Thanks for the nice comment, James T:)
Great video! I was starting to get into learning camera gears and this video is helpful and detailed! Thanks!🔥
Cool! Thanks for the nice comment:) Much appreciated, Bong Jian Yi!
Very well structured subject, and right on the APSC paradigm!!!
One of the most intelligent, clear and totally gasless video comparisons I've seen on ANY topic. This was very useful to me in considering whether to upgrade to the A6400 or A7III. And, it was a great primer on how to make the A6400 sit up on its hind legs and act like a big dog. Vielen Dank. Sehr gut gemacht!
Thanks for the nice comment:) Much appreciated, mein Freund!
Just amazing!! Beautifully explained every single detail. Much appreciated :-)
Cool! Love to hear that:)
Seen another vid of yours recently, this is the second one I've watched. That logic at the end & example is perfect for basically all 'equipment' selection, and for that reason, you just got a subscriber.
Thanks for the nice comment and support, Martin Austerfield! Much appreciated:)
This is greatly insightful and helpful. Thanks alot for this well detailed video. i learnt a whole lot
This is the BEST comparison i have seen on UA-cam! Very helpful, thank you very much! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Wow, thanks! Much appreciated!
Excellent! Answered my doubts and questions. Especially love the technical analysis of the lens, and the mathematics that went with it!
Cool! Love to hear that:)
You've pitched this just right. So many issues covered. Great job!!
Thanks a lot, John:) Appreciate the nice comment!
