I've literally spent 2 weeks watching numerous tech reviews so I can feel confident on my first vlogging camera purchase (I'm pretty sure you've all been there) looking for unbiased opinions, the reality and facts, and genuine helpful information as opposed to tech reviews that just made me more confused and felt pressured into purchasing what they were promoting. I found more value in this video than I did with many other channels put together. I can finally make my purchase in confidence. Thank you very much and I greatly appreciate your help.
I like your approach when making videos I recently bought the 6100 thank you for your dedication , im building my UA-cam channel for Spanish speakers .since that is my native language
Thank you for the review, very helpful. I upgraded to an A6600 from a A5000. Since I wanted IBIS and bigger battery, and rarely use the flash, it was a good choice. I also love the larger grip. I wish they had done the display like on the A7C though.
it will take some time these cameras just came out, I like the flip up screen though 😏 we can bet that in next models the menu will be touch friendly like in a7SIII
YES, YES, YES!!! That is what I use for a lot of what you see. If you can swing the Sigma 16mm ua-cam.com/video/uORT1dfeS0M/v-deo.html that's great. Otherwise, start with the kit lens.
@@TechGearTalk I'll Surely recommend this channel to all my friends...You are Replying to every query and oh man that's insane......I cannot ingnore your passion and hardwork😍
Hi bro.. hope you will reply I take online classes. I usually shoot 2 to 3 hours continuously. I use a tripod, so I don't need stabilization feature. Which camera is enough for me? Can I run those cameras with the power bank?
Thanks so much for watching - you can power them with a powerbank - I have not had any issues with overheating, but I know a few people who have - and you can get a small fan to help with that. Honestly, any of these would work because your use-case doesn't require a lot of the more advanced features. Hope that helps.
Awesome video. I was diagnosed with a brain tumor recently which has put me in a bed. It has given me a huge appreciation for my county and while in bed I have noticed that there is no real video or blogging done to show it off. I will be better within the next 8 mounths or so. I plan on starting an adventuring channel to show of New Zealand and also film a bit of hunting. What do you think the best cameras and lenses setup would be the best for blogging myself while hiking as well as the scenery/animals and then also being able to zoom in a few hundred meters on animals. New Zealand is a pretty ruggard and wet bush type environment so anything would need to be weather sealed at a minimum. For someone new to it all, it's pretty hard knowing what lenses and cameras would be good. GoPro with a a6600 or a7c with an assortment of lenses? I really have no idea, any opinions would be much appreciated. Thanks
I would also like to note that in New Zealand dollars the following prices are A6100 $1198 A6400 $1798 A6600 $2648 A7 mark III $3199 A7C $3198 A7 iv $4798 Most lenses are starting from $1200 and go up to as much as $5000 Any options or opinions would be much appreciated. Having this is giving me a good goal to get through this and recover
Wow you are superb. That video is wonderful. Was gonna get 6100 for live streaming on @lalate but now wondering about @6400 for the dust resistance. What does dust resistance mean exactly? It seems worth the extra $200 because Im always around dust.
Glad it was helpful. If you plan on being outside where there’s a ton of sand or dust - it’s nice to have. If you’re in a studio - it won’t matter as much. Hope that helps.
Great breakdown! So I bought the Cannon m6 Mark ii on prime day and trying to decide what to do, now I’m thinking I should get the a6400 or a6600 instead. Because I love the no overheating and no record limit! Any other thoughts to help me make this decision. Thanks!!
Was thinking of upgrading from my old APSC to FF and awaiting the next 2 camera announcements from Sony but recently went on a trip that made me re-appreciate the crop system for my style of photos (run and gun while traveling). Now I’m between the a6400 vs 6600. Flash vs IBIS. Honestly I rarely use the flash so I may pick up the 6600 this fall.
I worked 40 years with Nikon F-Mount and also Z-Products. Now, I bought the A6600 with the Sigma 56/1.4 for Portraits und Events. Real Time Tracking in combination with Eye-AF unbelievable great! I completely different way of photographing with a high hit rate. Now waiting for the A7 IV and will say "good-bye" to Nikon.
Thanks for the video! I ended up getting an A6000 as my first camera a few weeks ago, but was tempted to upgrade in hindsight. I'm not particularly good at getting crisp focused images through the EVF though. Have you done any comparisons between the A6000 and the A6100 image-quality wise? Your shots look stunning, and the A6000 has been quite fun to shoot with overall, just need to figure out how to focus a bit more reliably. I'd prolly jump to the A6400 if the viewfinder is significantly better, unless there's another way to verify focus that you'd recommend/if I'm not supposed to be using the viewfinder to check focus..
You're very welcome. After you take a shot, check the focus in the LCD by zooming in on the preview. Depending on what you're shooting, you'll want to use different AF modes.
Hi Johnny - it would depend on your expectations. You can't walk around with it and have it look perfectly stable, you'll need a gimbal for that. Hope that helps - thanks for joining the channel!
Thank you for this video and as well for the very informative content. I have owned the Sony A6400 for almost a year now and have taken it travelling with the SEL1650mm kit lens. (This was traveling pre-pandemic). Over the past few months, I have since paired the A6400 with a few lenses - some with and some without OSS. I have also seen various reviews of the A6600. Looking back, I would still choose the A6400. One of the main considerations for me would have been IBIS, but it appears that Sony's IBIS on the A6600 may not be "good enough" to warrant the cost difference. Purchasing a lens with OSS (albeit the selection would be limited to Sony lenses) and using a handful of techniques might offset the absence of IBIS on the A6400. I would like to point out that I do not own nor have ever used the Sony A6600. The comment regarding its IBIS is merely a general perception based on others' reviews or sample video clips. With the screen - I've gotten used to it. In some ways, having it flip up is better than having it side-mounted. For front-facing photos/videos, with the screen flipped up, at least your eyes are directed more towards the lens (even if you may be looking at the screen). If the screen is side-mounted, since there's a tendency to look at the screen, then the front-facing photo/video will capture your eyes looking sideways. With respect to durability - I managed to drop the A6400 on concrete while in Melbourne Park in Australia. It was a 3.5-foot drop. The main point of impact was the back part of the hand grip (where the battery door is). The battery door swung open as it hit the ground and the metal plate inside it popped lose. I thought for sure the camera would be damaged for sure. You can imagine what I felt at that moment as my wife and I ponder at the unfortunate event that just transpired. But lo and behold, other than a crack underneath the Preview and Trash Can buttons, the camera worked! Even the kit lens was unaffected. I was unable to close the battery door at first but after playing around with that metal plate, I was able to insert it back and have the battery door close properly. There was no other physical damage - even the grip itself left no evidence of the drop. We were amazed! Had I been using a larger and heavier lens, the outcome might be different though. Of the Sony A6000 line, the A6400 probably offers the best balance in features, functionality, and cost. Not too long before this post, Fuji released the X-S10. This may be more of a competitor to the A6400 in the APS-C market.
@@SilveiraWTraveler Yes. For less than the cost of the a6600 body, you can get the a6400 + 2 Sony lenses with OSS. For myself, I find full frame cameras much too large to take anywhere. A consideration especially when travelling. Since the original post however, there have been new camera releases that I would consider if I were buying a camera today: Sony a7c - Yes - it's full frame but with a compact body. Sony ZV-E10 - Recently announced - APS-C sensor and interchangeable lens - an even less expensive option than the a6400. Fujifilm X-S10 - I think this is the best mid-range APS-C camera out there. And this one has IBIS. I own this as well. Where it falls short - battery life and video recording limit (a6400 has no limit).
I bought the a6100 for live-streaming then decided to record one 4K video, since my M50 fails at that. I have been hooked on the image quality since then. Great vid bro
I bought the Sony a6400 and have used it for about a week so far and have to say it was a great buy. You can't go wrong with either of these choices and if you're an normal user all of them will work just fine for your needs
My question is at what point did the a6100 become $750 for the body! It went up $150 since it's release?? If it was still $600 it would have been purchased already. (Sigh)
Sadly, anytime I see a video about a product and I check the price, its always arround 30 to 70% more expensive here in germany. For example, the A6400 is 899 in € or 1022,38 in US $... anyways, great video, now I know what I want.
I've got VZ-E10 and i would love to have a backup camera, what i can take to shooting B-rolls.. What would be your suggestion to APS-C broll camera, those current A series, older 5000 series or other cameras with similiar mount?
Im thinking between the a6400 vs the a6600. I'm coming from a a6000 planning to upgrade to up my photography game and I have big hands which one is for me?
I use the a6400 w/a battery grip for a year shooting sports to help alleviate the grip problem. You could try that or get the a6600 & a battery grip which could be more comfortable for you. I'm on instagram @mtruproductions
Guys, I got ax100 and it seems not strong AF (blurring, very slow) I don't know if any of a6100 or a6600 or Zv1 could match or give better image quality than ax100 because the lens in AX100 is very good. I understand the sensors difference from 1 inch sensor all the way to Aps-c but still the lens in ax100 is very good (if anyone knows how much the lens cost of ax100? In equivalent to sony lens?) Both Zv1 and ax100 is one inch sensor both same sensor but I don't know if zv1 lens could beat or same ax100 lens? Do you think that a6600 or a6100 can beat the ax100 or zv1 with their own lens come with the body (in term of video quality)?
Great content Sagi, i got a question regarding the sony 6400, since it doesn't have ibis would you recommend a Ronon Sc, if im using the sigma 16mm f1.4 lense for outdoor video footage. And the sigma lenses doesn't have oss if iam right.
Thanks Sam. Personally, I would get the Weebill S, but if you want a DJI gimbal, the SC would work beautifully. You are correct, no OS (Sigma's name for Sony's OSS).
hello! thank you so much for your detailed review. I am a student in marketing and audiovisual communication/production. Im looking for a camera thats versatile both for studio and spontaneous work. I came across your video investigating the a6100, considering a kit that includes a 16-50mm and 55-210mm lens. Now, i’m not sure if I should invest in the a400 with 16-50mm lens or a6600 with 18-135mm. As a student and aspiring professional, which one should I invest in?
Hi sir, from India. As a amateur but a bit serious photography, I want to buy Sony alpha a6100. Should I ditch the kit lens (55-210) and instead opt for 70-300 G lens ? It’d be foolish to pair such a costly (70-300 G) lens with a6100 ? Or should I go with that kit lens (55-200) only.. ?
Hello, I want to buy my first new camera, mainly priority in starting will be photography, so please suggest me should I go for SONY A6100 or SONY6400, Also thinking about CANON M50 MKII(option), So help me to find a good camera.....OR any other camera you suggest?
Yo, I am thinking of getting a camera for streaming. I have a big budget, and just want to buy the perfect camera, so I never need to upgrade in the future. Optimally I want to be able to use the camera for vlogs as well. Any suggestion for which to get? (Could be a different model than the ones in the video), and which lenses would go well with them for streaming/vlog. Could a camera be good enough for both streaming and vlog? Or would I need two different ones?
Even though this is a 3 year old video, I still find it to be extremely helpful in making my decision on my first camera. I graduated from highschool today and plan on buying one of these cameras with money ive gotten, and your amazingly well done videos are helping me narrow my decision. I think I’m gonna go with the a6400 due to it being only a couple hundred more and offered many more features that would be helpful in a long-term camera for a beginner like me. Many thanks!
Hi! I’m not decided in the A6400 and A600. I want to buy for music video. It’s big difference in the stabilization if i have an OSS obiective on 6400 and 6600 integrated stabilization with OSS? Thank you!
I'm gonna use the camera for pictures in my holiday to Dubai. I'm gonna take pictures of the famous places and record videos too. Could you please recommend which one I should get?
I am a IT tech, not a AV tech, and our small church needs help with video (FB Live) presentation. I will gladly join a group but need help in choosing equipment that I am purchasing privately for the church. To begin 2-3 4k cameras capable of both light & dark scapes, motorized ptz mounts for each suspended from 30' ceiling, YoloPro switcher/ encoder for graphics overlay & hardware encoder features. 1 man operation of video aspect- not including audio or graphics presentation. Budget to $10k. Concerned about zoom, focus remote control and powering cameras on/off for weeks on end since they will not be easily accessible. Open to any help please! Thank in advance.
I like your videos review, and the sample photo you're taking are beautiful. I want to buy my first camera and i'm hesitating between A6400 & A6600. I like to take pictures on my trip, especially handheld night street photography and other low light situations. You seems to be a good photographer and an honest reviewer, so i'm asking for your view : Is IBIS/OSS a feature that can help me have better low light/night photos or is it just convenience and i can have same result with an A6400 and a non-stabilized lens ? Also, I've noticed that the A6400 has two auto modes (Intelligent Auto & Superior Auto) while the A6600 has only Intelligent Auto. Do you know what are the differences between theses two modes ? Anyway, Thanks for your channel, keep going =)
@tech gear talk I just found my A6000 after being lost for 5 years. Should I trade in my a6000 for 220 dollars and upgrade to the A6400 for 1000? Are the features in the A6400 worth the extra cost? Reply
I prefer the m50,,,,, I have the a 6100.... but the colours are not for my art videos ,,they are to drab ,lots of cinematic views on here ,,, ok .great! but who wants dark streets and shadowed faces ,,,sony .are given loads of publicity by given camera users .we dont all have to follow the hype .
@@AlanOwen but wouldnt the m50 wear down due to exposure into the elements due to changing humidities and the more humid it is, you cant take decent images cause your m50 would just short inside?
I am trying to optimally grab my gear within $1000 along with a single kit lens, maybe a hundred dollars give or take, in that regard, my options as available in my region are XT30, M6 MKII, Z50 & A6400. It would mean a world to me if you could help me decide my first ever gear. My focus is purely image quality, I am not weighing on video capabilites much, I prefer my smartphone and action cam for that. Cheers & thanks in advance!
Okay kids, I'm a photographer and not into video. Am down sizing from A-77 and want an all-round outfit. Which of the 3 examples would be best? I know that's an open ended question, as I've fallen behind the tech over the last 10-years plus. Any ideas appreciated my friends.
why is the number of frames you can shoot in a row in first place? Its like at the very end of the specs you'd look at when buying a camera, unless you're an A9 shooter for sports events...? Then you move on to the body/grip shapes, and I'm thinking it'll be 30+ minutes before we get to anything that's actually critical for shooting some video with audio. I really just want a 5100 with an audio input, really. I admit I'm already hating that I find myself having to look at the clunky (big/fat) 6000 series at all...
whch one to buy b/w 6400 vs 6600 considering i m gttng bth at nearly a same price...will either of thm ll b a good buy in 2024 ...? my usage is mainly travel and holiday photography
Hi, I am thinking of buying one of these cameras with 200 to 600 (Sony) or 35 to 150 (Tamron). which camera do you recommend ? (only for photograph), Many thanks
Seriously considering the a6100, but leaning towards the a6400 because of the AWB lock. I can use that for video, because my current DSLR sometimes shifts it's colors over time and I don't want to correct that in post. Is the pricing in the video based on used devices? I've looked online and the prices are a lot higher. Also, is the 16-50mm lens that is sometimes bundled with the camera any good? Did you use that lense for this video?
Great video comparison. I own a Sony a6400, but I have a question. Is it worth upgrading? A friend of mine wanted to buy the a6400 from me so not sure if it's worth it to spend the extra money to upgrade to a6600. I mainly do photography and I don't use any of the video features.
Sony IBS is a joke compare to Olympus and others. Side by side comparison I will take A6400 anyday. Middle of the road and fair price and having a Flash on camera is important to me. I am not a Pro just taking lots of family pictures.
? So I watch multiple videos from a year ago on these models, every single time they mention a price it is almost 1/2 of they are currently charging? Seriously that much of a price increase in a year?????
Well... a6400 makes sense for my need to shoot flying birds but any affordable zoom lens for this? I use nikon system already and with each birthday celebration my ability to hoist it makes me swear more than ever, use Sony rx10 iii too and Sony rx1and rx100 iii too ... different tools for different job...
Some pictures from the video of a6100 VS M50 you said they have been taken with the a6100, and in this video you are using the same pics and you are saying that they have been taken with a6600... So ? bro
Is it possible to get rid of the green cast Sony JPEGs are known for, especially visible on your picture of the African woman?. Are there settings on the camera that you can set and forget to change the default output of the JPEGs the camera produces so that they are more like Canon or Nikon?
I found a great deal on a used a6100 as an upgrade to my a6000. There were two things that were left out of the 6100 that it never occurred to me to check. The electronic level which I just assumed would be there, and then the IR sensor. I use and IR remote with the 6000 all the time and it was a great disappointment that it wasn't in the 6100. Maybe no one else uses it which is why it's never mentioned in any review. I get around both, but it seems to me those were odd things to leave out. Outside of that, I love the camera.
Obsessed with your vids last few days! Would love your suggestion even after watching the full vid, lol. I wanna go with the one within my budget 6100, using it mainly for vlogging, self taped and short film clips. I’m worried about no stabilization but when I’m filming it’s almost always on a tripod. Will this been and issue? (For pic taking as well). Thanks!
hey i'm in my freshman high school photography and i am thinking of buying a sony 6400, i am only interested in photography not film, what do you think?
If you're only doing photos, get the a6100 and save the money. Otherwise, I like taking pics with it. Another great option is this: ua-cam.com/video/nVLe9FPUV7s/v-deo.html
I’m looking for a camera and lens that I can use to take great candid shots, Portraits/selfies and landscape ish photos. We go to Disneyland a lot and I want to be able to get great shots while there. What camera and lens do you think is the best fit for that?
I am getting into real estate photography which of the 3 cameras would be best for me starting out as well as what is the best lens I could use without breaking my budget?
Easy answer is A6100 at 548 currently. Difference in $600-700 in a lens is much higher than a body. Same sensor, batteries are cheap, and if you need log then You should probably be shooting full frame anyway. Image stabilization might be the biggest difference. If you don’t need it get the 6100, if you do buy a used A7iii
Ordered a6400 with 18-135mm lens. Do you think the lens will be good for videos as well as I am planning to shoot a lot of videos with some photos on the side. Also, could you suggest some good lens which will be better for videos rather than photography for the a6400.. P.s- loved your content. You just earned a sub!
Can I ask a question? Lower f mean expensive price? Like f/1.2 or f/1.4 or higher f mean it's more expensive? Second : for streaming what is the best lens for canon m200 with very Good light? I am thinking to buy sigma 30mm 1.4 DC dn is it good? Sorry for all this much question.. Thanks ♥️♥️
All things being equal, a lower number maximum aperture, the higher the cost. When you say for streaming "with very good light) do you mean you have good light? Or you need it to let more light in? the 30mm 1.4 is a fantastic choice!

Im waiting for the next a6000s camera with the flip screen of the sony zv1
It will be interesting to see if they implement that design.
it will take some time these cameras just came out, I like the flip up screen though 😏 we can bet that in next models the menu will be touch friendly like in a7SIII
I use a6400 right now but thinking changing to ZV1 since easy to use. I only change lens couple times a year. What do you think?
Hi. If you don't really use that functionality in the a6400, the ZV1 could work for you and it's smaller, lighter and more portable.
*I'm planning to purchase Sony a6400+Weebill-s for vlogging..Is it a good combo for vlogging?*
YES, YES, YES!!! That is what I use for a lot of what you see. If you can swing the Sigma 16mm ua-cam.com/video/uORT1dfeS0M/v-deo.html that's great. Otherwise, start with the kit lens.

Was thinking of upgrading from my old APSC to FF and awaiting the next 2 camera announcements from Sony but recently went on a trip that made me re-appreciate the crop system for my style of photos (run and gun while traveling). Now I’m between the a6400 vs 6600. Flash vs IBIS. Honestly I rarely use the flash so I may pick up the 6600 this fall.
Glad this was helpful. I think you're making a good choice (because it's base don exactly what you need).
I worked 40 years with Nikon F-Mount and also Z-Products.
Now, I bought the A6600 with the Sigma 56/1.4 for Portraits und Events.
Real Time Tracking in combination with Eye-AF unbelievable great!
I completely different way of photographing with a high hit rate.
Now waiting for the A7 IV and will say "good-bye" to Nikon.
Thanks for the video! I ended up getting an A6000 as my first camera a few weeks ago, but was tempted to upgrade in hindsight. I'm not particularly good at getting crisp focused images through the EVF though.
Have you done any comparisons between the A6000 and the A6100 image-quality wise? Your shots look stunning, and the A6000 has been quite fun to shoot with overall, just need to figure out how to focus a bit more reliably.
I'd prolly jump to the A6400 if the viewfinder is significantly better, unless there's another way to verify focus that you'd recommend/if I'm not supposed to be using the viewfinder to check focus..
You're very welcome. After you take a shot, check the focus in the LCD by zooming in on the preview. Depending on what you're shooting, you'll want to use different AF modes.
I do real estate videography...seems like the 5-axis stabilization would be worth the investment...
Hi Johnny - it would depend on your expectations. You can't walk around with it and have it look perfectly stable, you'll need a gimbal for that. Hope that helps - thanks for joining the channel!
Thank you for this video and as well for the very informative content.
I have owned the Sony A6400 for almost a year now and have taken it travelling with the SEL1650mm kit lens. (This was traveling pre-pandemic).
Over the past few months, I have since paired the A6400 with a few lenses - some with and some without OSS. I have also seen various reviews of the A6600. Looking back, I would still choose the A6400. One of the main considerations for me would have been IBIS, but it appears that Sony's IBIS on the A6600 may not be "good enough" to warrant the cost difference. Purchasing a lens with OSS (albeit the selection would be limited to Sony lenses) and using a handful of techniques might offset the absence of IBIS on the A6400.
I would like to point out that I do not own nor have ever used the Sony A6600. The comment regarding its IBIS is merely a general perception based on others' reviews or sample video clips.
With the screen - I've gotten used to it. In some ways, having it flip up is better than having it side-mounted. For front-facing photos/videos, with the screen flipped up, at least your eyes are directed more towards the lens (even if you may be looking at the screen). If the screen is side-mounted, since there's a tendency to look at the screen, then the front-facing photo/video will capture your eyes looking sideways.
With respect to durability - I managed to drop the A6400 on concrete while in Melbourne Park in Australia. It was a 3.5-foot drop. The main point of impact was the back part of the hand grip (where the battery door is). The battery door swung open as it hit the ground and the metal plate inside it popped lose. I thought for sure the camera would be damaged for sure. You can imagine what I felt at that moment as my wife and I ponder at the unfortunate event that just transpired.
But lo and behold, other than a crack underneath the Preview and Trash Can buttons, the camera worked! Even the kit lens was unaffected. I was unable to close the battery door at first but after playing around with that metal plate, I was able to insert it back and have the battery door close properly. There was no other physical damage - even the grip itself left no evidence of the drop. We were amazed! Had I been using a larger and heavier lens, the outcome might be different though.
Of the Sony A6000 line, the A6400 probably offers the best balance in features, functionality, and cost.
Not too long before this post, Fuji released the X-S10. This may be more of a competitor to the A6400 in the APS-C market.
So you are saying that a6400 is a good choice?
@@SilveiraWTraveler Yes. For less than the cost of the a6600 body, you can get the a6400 + 2 Sony lenses with OSS.
For myself, I find full frame cameras much too large to take anywhere. A consideration especially when travelling.
Since the original post however, there have been new camera releases that I would consider if I were buying a camera today:
Sony a7c - Yes - it's full frame but with a compact body.
Sony ZV-E10 - Recently announced - APS-C sensor and interchangeable lens - an even less expensive option than the a6400.
Fujifilm X-S10 - I think this is the best mid-range APS-C camera out there. And this one has IBIS. I own this as well. Where it falls short - battery life and video recording limit (a6400 has no limit).
@@romvil Nice.
I bought the a6100 for live-streaming then decided to record one 4K video, since my M50 fails at that. I have been hooked on the image quality since then. Great vid bro
I'm loving the fact that you enjoy your new gear!!! Appreciate the constant support!
I bought the Sony a6400 and have used it for about a week so far and have to say it was a great buy. You can't go wrong with either of these choices and if you're an normal user all of them will work just fine for your needs
My question is at what point did the a6100 become $750 for the body! It went up $150 since it's release?? If it was still $600 it would have been purchased already. (Sigh)
Haha loved the bloopers at the end!
Sadly, anytime I see a video about a product and I check the price, its always arround 30 to 70% more expensive here in germany. For example, the A6400 is 899 in € or 1022,38 in US $... anyways, great video, now I know what I want.
I was so waiting for this comparison! All the similar videos I've seen are from so many months ago. Thanks!
Hope it was helpful. I wanted to make sure I use all 3 for a few months before just repeating specs. Thanks for watching!
I've got VZ-E10 and i would love to have a backup camera, what i can take to shooting B-rolls.. What would be your suggestion to APS-C broll camera, those current A series, older 5000 series or other cameras with similiar mount?
Great, clear, unbiased content as always! Very much appreciated.
So glad it was useful Joel - appreciate the thoughtful feedback 🙏🏻
Here I am again 22:35
Not looking to buy any of these cameras. But it's hard to resist a new Tech Gear Talk episode.
Appreciate you Thomas 🙏 - at least you got to laugh at me at the end 😂🤣
Im thinking between the a6400 vs the a6600. I'm coming from a a6000 planning to upgrade to up my photography game and I have big hands which one is for me?
I use the a6400 w/a battery grip for a year shooting sports to help alleviate the grip problem. You could try that or get the a6600 & a battery grip which could be more comfortable for you. I'm on instagram @mtruproductions
This guy helped me a lot when buying a camara. Thank you so much and yes definitely buying Sony a6400 ❤️❤️❤️
The fuji X-S10 has top specs. Could you please do a test?
Guys, I got ax100 and it seems not strong AF (blurring, very slow) I don't know if any of a6100 or a6600 or Zv1 could match or give better image quality than ax100 because the lens in AX100 is very good.
I understand the sensors difference from 1 inch sensor all the way to Aps-c but still the lens in ax100 is very good (if anyone knows how much the lens cost of ax100? In equivalent to sony lens?)
Both Zv1 and ax100 is one inch sensor both same sensor but I don't know if zv1 lens could beat or same ax100 lens?
Do you think that a6600 or a6100 can beat the ax100 or zv1 with their own lens come with the body (in term of video quality)?
smooth reviews. YOU got yourself another subscriber...
Great content Sagi, i got a question regarding the sony 6400, since it doesn't have ibis would you recommend a Ronon Sc, if im using the sigma 16mm f1.4 lense for outdoor video footage. And the sigma lenses doesn't have oss if iam right.
Thanks Sam. Personally, I would get the Weebill S, but if you want a DJI gimbal, the SC would work beautifully. You are correct, no OS (Sigma's name for Sony's OSS).
Any Problem - God Comes in
Any Camera Confusion -
Tech Gear Talk Comes in
PERIOD!
hello! thank you so much for your detailed review. I am a student in marketing and audiovisual communication/production. Im looking for a camera thats versatile both for studio and spontaneous work. I came across your video investigating the a6100, considering a kit that includes a 16-50mm and 55-210mm lens. Now, i’m not sure if I should invest in the a400 with 16-50mm lens or a6600 with 18-135mm. As a student and aspiring professional, which one should I invest in?
Hi sir, from India.
As a amateur but a bit serious photography, I want to buy Sony alpha a6100. Should I ditch the kit lens (55-210) and instead opt for 70-300 G lens ? It’d be foolish to pair such a costly (70-300 G) lens with a6100 ? Or should I go with that kit lens (55-200) only.. ?
Out of the three, which camera is best for photography? I’m planning to use it to take photos and videos but mainly will use it for photo.
Hello, I want to buy my first new camera, mainly priority in starting will be photography, so please suggest me should I go for SONY A6100 or SONY6400, Also thinking about CANON M50 MKII(option), So help me to find a good camera.....OR any other camera you suggest?
Yo, I am thinking of getting a camera for streaming. I have a big budget, and just want to buy the perfect camera, so I never need to upgrade in the future. Optimally I want to be able to use the camera for vlogs as well. Any suggestion for which to get? (Could be a different model than the ones in the video), and which lenses would go well with them for streaming/vlog.
Could a camera be good enough for both streaming and vlog? Or would I need two different ones?
Hello great asset. Quick question, would be much appreciated for helping choose 1 for a wedding video? Thanks you sir
Even though this is a 3 year old video, I still find it to be extremely helpful in making my decision on my first camera. I graduated from highschool today and plan on buying one of these cameras with money ive gotten, and your amazingly well done videos are helping me narrow my decision. I think I’m gonna go with the a6400 due to it being only a couple hundred more and offered many more features that would be helpful in a long-term camera for a beginner like me. Many thanks!
Hi! I’m not decided in the A6400 and A600. I want to buy for music video. It’s big difference in the stabilization if i have an OSS obiective on 6400 and 6600 integrated stabilization with OSS? Thank you!
I'm gonna use the camera for pictures in my holiday to Dubai.
I'm gonna take pictures of the famous places and record videos too.
Could you please recommend which one I should get?
I am a IT tech, not a AV tech, and our small church needs help with video (FB Live) presentation. I will gladly join a group but need help in choosing equipment that I am purchasing privately for the church. To begin 2-3 4k cameras capable of both light & dark scapes, motorized ptz mounts for each suspended from 30' ceiling, YoloPro switcher/ encoder for graphics overlay & hardware encoder features. 1 man operation of video aspect- not including audio or graphics presentation. Budget to $10k.
Concerned about zoom, focus remote control and powering cameras on/off for weeks on end since they will not be easily accessible. Open to any help please! Thank in advance.
I like your videos review, and the sample photo you're taking are beautiful.
I want to buy my first camera and i'm hesitating between A6400 & A6600.
I like to take pictures on my trip, especially handheld night street photography and other low light situations.
You seems to be a good photographer and an honest reviewer, so i'm asking for your view :
Is IBIS/OSS a feature that can help me have better low light/night photos or is it just convenience and i can have same result with an A6400 and a non-stabilized lens ?
Also, I've noticed that the A6400 has two auto modes (Intelligent Auto & Superior Auto) while the A6600 has only Intelligent Auto.
Do you know what are the differences between theses two modes ?
Anyway, Thanks for your channel, keep going =)
@tech gear talk I just found my A6000 after being lost for 5 years. Should I trade in my a6000 for 220 dollars and upgrade to the A6400 for 1000? Are the features in the A6400 worth the extra cost?
Reply
seeing this now strains me between the canon m50 or the sony 6400 for wildlife/landscape photography... so difficult!
I prefer the m50,,,,, I have the a 6100.... but the colours are not for my art videos ,,they are to drab ,lots of cinematic views on here ,,, ok .great! but who wants dark streets and shadowed faces ,,,sony .are given loads of publicity by given camera users .we dont all have to follow the hype .
@@AlanOwen but wouldnt the m50 wear down due to exposure into the elements due to changing humidities and the more humid it is, you cant take decent images cause your m50 would just short inside?
I am trying to optimally grab my gear within $1000 along with a single kit lens, maybe a hundred dollars give or take, in that regard, my options as available in my region are XT30, M6 MKII, Z50 & A6400. It would mean a world to me if you could help me decide my first ever gear. My focus is purely image quality, I am not weighing on video capabilites much, I prefer my smartphone and action cam for that.
Cheers & thanks in advance!
Okay kids, I'm a photographer and not into video. Am down sizing from A-77 and want an all-round outfit. Which of the 3 examples would be best? I know that's an open ended question, as I've fallen behind the tech over the last 10-years plus. Any ideas appreciated my friends.
The 6400 doesn't have stabilization (IBIS), but it is a big problem?
I have an A57, and I'm looking to upgrade to a lighter, modern model.
why is the number of frames you can shoot in a row in first place? Its like at the very end of the specs you'd look at when buying a camera, unless you're an A9 shooter for sports events...?
Then you move on to the body/grip shapes, and I'm thinking it'll be 30+ minutes before we get to anything that's actually critical for shooting some video with audio.
I really just want a 5100 with an audio input, really. I admit I'm already hating that I find myself having to look at the clunky (big/fat) 6000 series at all...
whch one to buy b/w 6400 vs 6600 considering i m gttng bth at nearly a same price...will either of thm ll b a good buy in 2024 ...? my usage is mainly travel and holiday photography
Hi, I am thinking of buying one of these cameras with 200 to 600 (Sony) or 35 to 150 (Tamron). which camera do you recommend ? (only for photograph), Many thanks
Darling Which Cam Is Best For Low Light Video Recording?
Used A6100 or used a6300? To photography, I will not make videos too often. Used A6300 is quite clearly cheaper...
Seriously considering the a6100, but leaning towards the a6400 because of the AWB lock. I can use that for video, because my current DSLR sometimes shifts it's colors over time and I don't want to correct that in post. Is the pricing in the video based on used devices? I've looked online and the prices are a lot higher. Also, is the 16-50mm lens that is sometimes bundled with the camera any good? Did you use that lense for this video?
Great video comparison. I own a Sony a6400, but I have a question. Is it worth upgrading? A friend of mine wanted to buy the a6400 from me so not sure if it's worth it to spend the extra money to upgrade to a6600. I mainly do photography and I don't use any of the video features.
Sony IBS is a joke compare to Olympus and others. Side by side comparison I will take A6400 anyday. Middle of the road and fair price and having a Flash on camera is important to me. I am not a Pro just taking lots of family pictures.
? So I watch multiple videos from a year ago on these models, every single time they mention a price it is almost 1/2 of they are currently charging? Seriously that much of a price increase in a year?????
Well... a6400 makes sense for my need to shoot flying birds but any affordable zoom lens for this? I use nikon system already and with each birthday celebration my ability to hoist it makes me swear more than ever, use Sony rx10 iii too and Sony rx1and rx100 iii too ... different tools for different job...
Some pictures from the video of a6100 VS M50 you said they have been taken with the a6100, and in this video you are using the same pics and you are saying that they have been taken with a6600... So ? bro
Is it possible to get rid of the green cast Sony JPEGs are known for, especially visible on your picture of the African woman?.
Are there settings on the camera that you can set and forget to change the default output of the JPEGs the camera produces so that they are more like Canon or Nikon?
I found a great deal on a used a6100 as an upgrade to my a6000. There were two things that were left out of the 6100 that it never occurred to me to check. The electronic level which I just assumed would be there, and then the IR sensor. I use and IR remote with the 6000 all the time and it was a great disappointment that it wasn't in the 6100. Maybe no one else uses it which is why it's never mentioned in any review. I get around both, but it seems to me those were odd things to leave out. Outside of that, I love the camera.
do you think the 6400 is worth the 1000 dollar price tag labeled currently? great video btw
Obsessed with your vids last few days! Would love your suggestion even after watching the full vid, lol. I wanna go with the one within my budget 6100, using it mainly for vlogging, self taped and short film clips. I’m worried about no stabilization but when I’m filming it’s almost always on a tripod. Will this been and issue? (For pic taking as well). Thanks!
Is evf resolution a big deal? A6100 is more on my budget but it has lower level evf resolution compared to the canon m50 mkII
V good video, plz advise me best photo camera for wedding videography under 1000$, plz reply.
sir which camera would be best for travel photography and vlogging
under 1200$
Are you sure the LCD screens are 2.4mil dots? Sony spec pages say they have the .95mil dot screens
You said all 3 offer Animal Eye AF... but I don't see anywhere else stating the 6100 offers this. Are you sure?
Hi Homies! I'm a film student. Willing to buy a Camera.My budget not more than 2000 usd. Plz suggest me what should I buy?
Between a6400 and a6600, which will you recommend for streaming and videos?
Hii, can I shoot any flate colour video by dialing some settings in A6100 ?
Hey!!!! I want to buy a a6100 but I don’t know what lens can I use. Which lens are you using to take the photos?
Can I buy 6100 for daily basics thing like photos and videos and I am not a professional photographer
hey i'm in my freshman high school photography and i am thinking of buying a sony 6400, i am only interested in photography not film, what do you think?
Definently a6400 with an extra battery would be the best choice
I want the a 6100 or the 6400 for UA-cam gaming videos and a nice face cam
So I’m looking to continue my podcast without using a camcorder lol which one of the cameras do you think would be best just for Podcast to use
Sony a6400 is good option for taking photos? Or any other camera can beat sony a6400 at this price range? (Mainly photography not videography )
If you're only doing photos, get the a6100 and save the money. Otherwise, I like taking pics with it. Another great option is this: ua-cam.com/video/nVLe9FPUV7s/v-deo.html
I’m looking for a camera and lens that I can use to take great candid shots, Portraits/selfies and landscape ish photos. We go to Disneyland a lot and I want to be able to get great shots while there. What camera and lens do you think is the best fit for that?
I am getting into real estate photography which of the 3 cameras would be best for me starting out as well as what is the best lens I could use without breaking my budget?
What camera and lens do you use to record these videos? Sorry if you've already answered that before.
Easy answer is A6100 at 548 currently. Difference in $600-700 in a lens is much higher than a body. Same sensor, batteries are cheap, and if you need log then You should probably be shooting full frame anyway.
Image stabilization might be the biggest difference. If you don’t need it get the 6100, if you do buy a used A7iii
Makes sense to me
Which would you say would be the best for content recording for social media?
Hi, i want to ask you? I want buy my first mirorrless camera and i need to ask to what camera you will recommend for me?
Ordered a6400 with 18-135mm lens. Do you think the lens will be good for videos as well as I am planning to shoot a lot of videos with some photos on the side. Also, could you suggest some good lens which will be better for videos rather than photography for the a6400..
P.s- loved your content. You just earned a sub!
Welcome to the channel. Check out these lenses (in E mount) for when you're ready: ua-cam.com/video/uORT1dfeS0M/v-deo.html
I am on the fence about 6400 and 6600. Is the only big difference is battery life?
You are genius, man! Plus you look like Ross... Unagi!!!😂😂😂
I'm thinking of getting an a 6500. Why was it not in this comparison?!?!
Can I ask a question?
Lower f mean expensive price?
Like f/1.2 or f/1.4 or higher f mean it's more expensive?
Second : for streaming what is the best lens for canon m200 with very Good light? I am thinking to buy sigma 30mm 1.4 DC dn is it good?
Sorry for all this much question..
Thanks ♥️♥️
All things being equal, a lower number maximum aperture, the higher the cost.
When you say for streaming "with very good light) do you mean you have good light? Or you need it to let more light in?
the 30mm 1.4 is a fantastic choice!
@@TechGearTalk yes I mean I buy 3 light 1 ring light and 2 softbox pro
You'll be good to go
Last question 😂😂..
Did Canon utality improve the quality
Or I need camlink 4k?
They have not improved the quality yet - if you want 1080 or 4k you need a capture card or this: ua-cam.com/video/w25dRpbM08w/v-deo.html
Hi, what lens did you use for demonstrating the a6400?
