I have been editing footage from both cameras for years. In this video you share the opinion that there is not much difference between the two, while showing us that a6300 cannot even depict a straight line properly. The a6300 picture looks like the A7iii 1080p footage, in super35 mode, a little worse actually. I believe that a6300 creates its 1080p with line skipping, whereas the a6000 seems to do a sophisticated pixel binning process. a6000 gets hot after prolonged 1080p recording, which make me think some serious processing is done in the camera. a6300 records 1080p easily, but beyond a better processor, i think it's because of the easy on the cpu line skipping, canon dslr style. In my honest opinion, and i am obviously not earning anything to say that, a6000 1080p footage has a cinematic quality. It's not super crisp, but crisp enough and smooth, organic almost. Also, because it has not log profiles but rather a straight forward flat one, it's not so easy to mess the picture up. With the right settings, the picture it creates is my favourite out of all sony alpha cameras, in par with a7sii. Of course, there are some serious problems with a6000. For the love of God, no mic input(!), overheating problems in the summer time, not good battery, iso usable up to 1250(when heavy color grading, in iso over that, i usually come across nasty grain, but it depends on the shot obviously). As a conclusion, from my experience, the a6000 1080p is way better than the one in a6300/a6500, which might produce good results sometimes, but most of the time looks like oversharpened 720p footage, with crazy line skipping artifacts.
One of the reasons I've kept my A6000 even though I have a lot of Sony gear is the crispiness of the 1080P 60fps video footage. Have you experimented with the A9 and the 1080P 60fps footage? Is it on par with the A600? Also, πάμε μωρή Ελλαδάρα!

Excellent Job on the Music Video dude! You guys made it feel like you weren't even there.. They seemed all alone, fantastic.. I have an a6000 and I'm getting into making a music video for myself which is tricky but I'll find ways.. lol.. Thanx for showing the differences/similarity's and also a finished sample of a color graded final product and the quality possible with the a6000.. I appreciate you taking the time to show us this, It's exactly what I needed to know, that my gear is just fine and can produce great results with it.. Once again great job with "Put your head on my shoulders".. However, What lens' did you use?
Nice!I didn't know you shot that music video,that was great work on the a6000.Did you happen to test 24p?that's where I noticed a slight difference in quality/rendering,but to be honest I would say it's so minimal most probably wouldn't notice.I don't know if the image is less detailed than the a6000 but it does seem to be rendered slightly different,maybe do to the new sensor.Thx for the test.
I couldn't tell a difference from 24fps it's the same bitrate. I decided to leave it out of this video as it would drop frames since this was exported in 30fps and would look choppy. But yeah in 1080p the a6000 seems to resolve more detail. But it's so minor only zooming in really shows it.
Really useful. Definitely will be referencing back to this video to help me finalize my choice and pick the right camera for me to use over the summer.
same did nikon with d3300 and d3400 u pay more and get the same with some pro and con on both ..just not worth to upgrade if u have a6000..better to invest in full frame sony lens
If I’m repairing a part on a car and most of the time it’s a still shot with me working on a part about 1-2ft away would the a6000 give great quality? Also which lenses should I use for this application
I found this review to be quite useful as I'm trying to decide whether to sell my existing a6000 and buy an a6300 just to get the 4K video. Sony are asking a lot of money for the a6300, especially considering that the Panasonic G7 offers 100mb/s 4K video for $400.00 less. The only drawback to the G7 is that it doesn't have a LiveView feature that lets you connect a HDMI monitor and see what the camera sees. In the meantime, I've updated the firmware in my a6000 to handle XAVC-S and will be experimenting with that to see if it gives me acceptable video without having to shell out just to get 4K capability.
nice test thank you... but concerning the video, you missed to test something very important. The low light comparison between these 2 cameras. Is a6300 better or equal to a6000 ? than you
There isn't much difference in 1080p if any at all. The backside illuminated sensor doesn't make a major noticeable difference really. But where you can see a difference is if you shoot 4k on the a6300 and downscale to 1080p there is a lot less noise. Thanks for watching
@@LeeZavitz Downscaling 4k to 1080p you lose 50, 60 and 120p, gain a lot of "rolling-shutter", drain the memory card and battery faster, it heats up before, and use more time editing.
Nice video man, im planning on getting either of these (im a filmmaking student) and im just waiting to see how much will the a6300 cost when they start selling them here in Chile. Obviously the a6000 will go down in price and im not sure which one i should buy, ive read about the a6300 having a better dynamic range and how thats important for post production so what do you think?
+Debsak Dadesa If you only do 1080p go with the A6000. So far it gets kind of unpredictable when the a6300 is going to over heat and shut off on me. Never had that issue with the A6000. Hard to say if they will fix it in firmware or not.
+Debsak Dadesa a6000 had overheating issue with me once. And it was when I was shooting timelapse of fries in deep fryer, camera was 10-15 inches away from hot oil, top view. That's for overheating.
this video was really useful for me , I have to decide what to buy between a6300 and a6000. and I have decided which one is good for me. I can say definitely A6000 is a good choice. because I have no plans to take 4K video. in my humble skills, 1080p with A6000 can be a good choice! thank you! you did really good job!
Hi, great review!! I noticed that most of the reviews on youtube show the comparison between video quality for these cameras, but I am more interested in the photo quality. Which one is the better option for this purpose? Thanks
great vid plus being Canadian is always a bonus lol. in your opinion is it better to buy a a 6000 compared to around the same price as a t5i ? doing vlogs everyday and just don't know what would have the best benifits for me as i want something that takes great photos but can also record vlogs
jack d if you vlog more than take photos it's best to get something with a flip out screen so you can see what's in focus and what's in frame. A6000, A6300, A6500 are all great photo cams with good af in video but they lack the flipout screen. The g7x Markii or the rx100iv or rx100v are better for vlogging. I wouldn't recommend a dslr like the t5i it's kind of big and has less image quality than the Sony alpha cams. The only thing it does have is the flip out screen.
Thanks for the quick response. Right now im using the canon vixia r700 for video but i want something that takes really good quality pictures. im also recording a wedding for a family member which ill be taking pics as well so the camcorder isn't enough. im about an hour west of toronto so all we have here is henrys or best buy so the t5i was the one that they all chose over anything else.
Issue is that the A6000 has auto audio level, so you get hissing noise when there is silence. Also rear buttons of the A6000 tend to become unresponsive and a new logic board is needed ($330 USD repair). Also A6300 has better EVF and I was told does not have the rear buttons failure common in the A6000
OMD EM10 MKII has the best video in checking many samples on UA-cam. The A6000 has more jerky video in the motion and also some focus and noise in darker parts of the video. Also no touch screen for tap focusing on the A6000.
So if I want to just purchase to take pictures during a trip and I know I won't be using video too often, should I buy the a6000? Any advice would help. The salesperson at Best Buy was trying to push for the a6300.
Hey Lee. Thanks so much for your videos. I just need some advice. I'm trying to be budget conscious. I have a lot of video equipment but I am looking for a camera that I can put on a crane 2 3-axis gimbal or something somewhere to get some good quality lower light indoor shots. I'm pretty much just doing 1080 video. It's been a couple of years since you reviewed the Sony a6000 and a6300. I was just curious if you think that getting an a6000 is still a good option at this point and if so what lens would you recommend for some good lower light 3-axis gimbal shots indoors?
Thank you, exactly what I was curious about. I wonder whether the difference is internal sharpening algorithm differences? The other thing I am most interested is low light ability in 1080p differences. How much more sensitive is the A6300, is it as much as a stop? I think it is worth noting that if you have a 1080p workflow, on the occasions you need telephoto you kind of have a (no light loss) 2x extender if you shoot that scene in 4k. Maybe low light scenes would be better shot in 4k as I think the scaling would reduce noise?
+Lensvoodoo Yeah if you shoot in 4k and downscale it there is alot less noise because it gets compressed smaller. So if you are shooting in high iso and dont need 60fps 4k to 1080p downscale is much better
+Zed ProMedia Good. I understand that 1080p (in camera) is also better for noise low light. f you could take the time, do you think you could do a quick test and see how they compare, it would be very informative! As far as low light vs the a6000 how many stops more sensitive would you guess? Thanks for your time and info.
Hi there! I'm approaching you as I'm having an emergency here. I'm using a Sony A3000 camera and I'm a newbie and I messed up my settings. I pressed something wrong and now my LCD panel display has a blinking 30" in the left corner where I should have my shutter speed value displayed e.g. 1/60 or 1/180. My camera is set on "P" mode right now. I desperately need your competent assistance and support in order to resolve the issue. I really don't know what to do.
Thank you for your video... i still thinking which Sony Camera i will buy for my girl. She need to take some shots from holiday but she need really good viedo. And A6000 looks better then A6300 and A7ii - A6000 has really fast sharpening better then two which we are thinking, but A7ii is FF. But what do you think? It si better buy A6000 and spend money for better lenses? :) Or buy A7ii with 16-55m, 3,5-5,6? I hope you understand my question :D and thanks for your time
Thanks for comparison! If I plan on using the camera for fairly up close cinematic car videos. Would you recommend the 6000 over the 6300? I'm already kind of leaning towards the 6000 due to its cheaper price which leaves more room for glass.
I’m buying a Sony a6000 myself this week , I’m trying to use it to make homemade music videos by myself , what would you recommend an order to get the best cinematic video shot ?
Do you recommend reducing the Sony a 6000 sharpness to -3 when recording a cinematic talking head video in 24 frames per second? I appreciate your time!
I got the a6300 and I am not made of money. If I need good 1080p I will shoot XAVC 60Mbps at 4K instead of 100Mbps or to an external recorder. The 1080p is okay, it is a bummer but the 4K is great and the 1080p uncompressed still looks pretty good when I capture directly to ProRes with embedded audio and timecode. The weather sealing is something I only learned about AFTER I bought the camera, I knew about the sturdier body but that is another factor. I baby my cameras but that does not mean they won't get beat to hell. My Canon 550D looks like it's been through more than one warzone.
@zed pro media I need help i am barely starting to get into photograhy but i cant decide between sony a6000 or sony a6300 or the newer one. I do need video but i dont think 4k is that important i don't think also my pc does 4k i will be using premium pro to edit vids. i want to make work out vids or vids when i go hiking and travel make cool vids of my family mainly since i am barely starting and learn in the processes. I will also be taking pics i was thinking get the sony a6000kit and get the sigma 30mm 1.4 and another lens or go with the a6300 with the sigma or 6500 just kit lens but since i am just starting is all that extra stuff really important should i just go with the cheapest and learn i have never used the cameras so idk if the difference is that big. what do you think i should do advice would be greatly appreciated. is the body important can the 6000 perform the same as the other with good lenses??
+terosyva nice! It's a great little camera for the price if you don't need 4K. Although the size limits the battery life it's still awesome to have a small easy to setup camera with great image quality. Cheers!
hey whats your favorite picture profile for the sony a6000? I've been trying to find something that works with the a6000 and a6300 since I shoot with both cameras.
Hello, thank you for the video. Do you know which one has the best autofocus in video mode between the Gx85 and the A6000? Because the A6300 is too expensive for me and I just want to use video mode. I have Canon 6D for pictures. (Stills?) Sorry for my English.
What do you guys think about changing my a7sii for a a6500 for gimbal work. For me I am wanting a little faster continiuos autofocus for simple fashion videos, i have read the a6500 is much better. Can anybody give me advice as to whether I should or should not switch over for faster/better continiuos autofocus? I have a 16-35 f4 oss That I usually use in apc mode anyways on the A7sii. Thanks for any opinion's I shoot just 60p by the way!! I have read the 1080 on 6300 and 6500 are crappy?
Just in case you are still undecided on this....I have bothe the a6300 (which is almost identical to the a6500) and the a7s ii, and I shoot only 50p myself.. The difference in AF performance is like night and day. You cant trust the a7s ii AF at all. It is horrible slow and hunts all the time. I would say that it is able to nail AF 50% of the time. The a6300 on the other hand you can just put in AF mode and forget about it. It will do a perfect job at AF 98% of the time. I have used it in AF mode shooting television every single day now for almost one year. Both on gimbal, steadicam and handheld. The only time it will fail is in face detect mode when dealing with persons using glasses or have something on their head that makes it hard for the camera to recognise it as a face. It will still AF perfectly on the person. But if another person walks past the camera in the background (even far away) and the camera detects a face on that person it will jump to that person very quickly and then back to the subject in the front as soon as the person in the background is out of the frame. So just be aware of this. Other than that just trust the AF. It is the best I have ever tried and almost perfect. By the way.....the AF of the a7s ii is almost identical to the old a7s. It is a tiny tiny bit faster. But we are talking about extremly slow compared to just very very slow. Both are unusable for anything challanging. The a7s is however better at producing nice 1080p video out of the box. The a6300 can come across as kind of soft in this mode. That is why I also bought the a7s ii. But since I need a camera with a AF system you can depend on I cant really use the a7s ii for my work. I have no trouble doing manual focus on pro cine lenses, but manual focus on focus by wire lenses is just a nightmare when you have multiple subjects running around so you need to re-focus every 10 second. So I am thinking about selling the a7s ii and wait for the a7 iii or the a7s iii if it gets phase detect AF. But for now a reliable AF is more important than a marginally sharper image. By the way...focus peaking on the a6300 is totally useless. Even on its lowest setting it insists that almost everything is in focus even if it is not. The focus peaking on the a7s ii is much better. But with the a6300 AF you will never really need the focus peaking anyway, so for me its a non issue. The last few days I have done some real life test comparing the two cameras side by side shooting the same thing. And when I compare the picture quality the difference in real life situations are not as big as most people think. If you just use the factory setting you will see the difference in sharpness between the two if you study the details closely. The a7s ii is a bit better. But if you set the detail level on the a6300 to +3 I really really need to look to spot the difference. And if you just leave the detail level at 0 and instead add 10% sharpness in Adobe Premiere in post I would not be able to tell the difference between the two. Mayby the a6300 is a bit sharper. So I will try to add something like 5% sharpness instead to make them identical. In very low light the a7s ii is however naturally much better. I am starting to suspect that in 1080 50/60p mode Sony have tuned the sharpness of the a6300 to be softer than it needs to be on purpose just so it will not destroy the market for the a7s series. They have added sharpness to the a7s downasmpling and reduced sharpness on the a6300 downsampling. So if I can adjust the sharpness of the a6300 so that I am happy about it I will keep that until Sony are able to produce a camera where you can have both good AF and good 1080 50p video in the same camera. By the way moire etc is almost identical on the two in 50p mode. Sometimes the a6300 is worse, sometimes the a7s ii is worse. I would actually say that the a7s ii is worse overall. The viewfinder on the a6300 also just looks nicer. After having used the a6300 for so long it is just impossible to move back to a7s ii for good. The a6300 is just better in almost every way.
that was a nice video test between these 2. But how much better is the A6300 in lower light? Is it worth buying the A6300 for the better low light? (I read the A6300 is better in this)
thx for the anwser! I don't 4k and the 4k in the A630 is not 50/60p in 4K so useless for me. But like you say the low light is better maybe I purchase the A6300.
Salomon Mika You can say the same thing about 4k. Most cell phones record "4k" but it's nothing even close to 4k from RED Cinema camera. There is no real standard when it comes to video quality in any given resolution. Camera manufactures give you a final video that has the dimensions of 1080p or 4k but they are not equal. There are a lot of factors too. Sensor size, dynamic range, lens, processing, down scaling etc. So in the instance of a6300 vs a600 for whatever reason Sony isn't utilizing the sensor in the same way they do with the a6000 I have no idea why. They are both slightly different sensors but the same megapixels. My guess is that the a6300 processes the sensor data differently regardless of them both being 24mp and that's why the image seems slightly less detailed.
Ah ok thank you.I have a Nikon D5100 and the quality of the 1080p is really poor. I don't know why. maybe the lens (35 mm f1.8) I want to buy the A6300 I hope the 1080 will be better!!! And I have a Canon 6D for filming it ins't convenient but with the Sigma art 50 mm f1.4 the quality is better. I don't know if the quality of the A6300 will be better than the Canon 6D
So from what I've heard is that when it comes to video recording at 4k with the A6300, the A6300 records at 6k in camera and downscales it to 4k. If you really look for that crispy clean 1080p, in my opinion you should shoot at 4k and downscale it to 1080p. Compare that to a camera that shoots directly in 1080p vs a camera that shoots in 4k and downscales it to 1080p you will get a better quality video. Correct me if I'm wrong.
Kharon you would be correct. The only thing about shooting in 4k and downscaling to 1080 is that you can only do 30fps max and there is a lot more rolling shutter. But yes the 1080p image looks much better when you downscale
Find a used 5Dmkii its going to be cheaper than a new 70D or 80D and I personally love that camera. I owned one for 4 years. There are other beginner cameras like T6i but I still think its worth your money to get an older used 5Dmkii and learn how to use a pro camera. Those 5D's are built like tanks and you should be able to find one for like $800
Barely any difference. They both fall apart after 6400 iso. There is suppose to be slightly more detail on the newer sensor but I have yet to really notice it. There is obviously more detail if you shoot 4K and downscale to 1080p but that's really all I've noticed.
Blake Duty low light worse! No 4k but ither than that yes not much difference... And 4k in a6300 unusable on anything other than a tripod! Rolling shutter is so bad... Wire camera ever tested for it! Hold in hand and it's noticeable with natural holding movement shocking! I have both cameras! Just low light and picture profiles makes the a6300 better!

In the meantime, I've updated the firmware in my a6000 to handle XAVC-S and will be experimenting with that to see if it gives me acceptable video without having to shell out just to get 4K capability.
Steve Struthers I would opt for a6000 and may be spend money on a 35mm 1.8 Sony lens.
nice test thank you... but concerning the video, you missed to test something very important. The low light comparison between these 2 cameras. Is a6300 better or equal to a6000 ? than you
There isn't much difference in 1080p if any at all. The backside illuminated sensor doesn't make a major noticeable difference really. But where you can see a difference is if you shoot 4k on the a6300 and downscale to 1080p there is a lot less noise. Thanks for watching
thanks man
@@LeeZavitz Downscaling 4k to 1080p you lose 50, 60 and 120p, gain a lot of "rolling-shutter", drain the memory card and battery faster, it heats up before, and use more time editing.
Nice video man, im planning on getting either of these (im a filmmaking student) and im just waiting to see how much will the a6300 cost when they start selling them here in Chile. Obviously the a6000 will go down in price and im not sure which one i should buy, ive read about the a6300 having a better dynamic range and how thats important for post production so what do you think?
+Debsak Dadesa If you only do 1080p go with the A6000. So far it gets kind of unpredictable when the a6300 is going to over heat and shut off on me. Never had that issue with the A6000. Hard to say if they will fix it in firmware or not.
+Debsak Dadesa a6000 had overheating issue with me once. And it was when I was shooting timelapse of fries in deep fryer, camera was 10-15 inches away from hot oil, top view. That's for overheating.
+Debsak Dadesa I think it is s-log in a6300 that increases dynamic range.
+Zed ProMedia Thank's for this test. I have been looking 1080p comparison for a long time.
this video was really useful for me , I have to decide what to buy between a6300 and a6000. and I have decided which one is good for me. I can say definitely A6000 is a good choice. because I have no plans to take 4K video. in my humble skills, 1080p with A6000 can be a good choice! thank you! you did really good job!
very helpful! thanks alot!
thank you! really needed to know the difference in 1080p
this is great! that what I was looking for. Thanks for the great video ^^
Great comparison video, thank you!
Hi, great review!! I noticed that most of the reviews on youtube show the comparison between video quality for these cameras, but I am more interested in the photo quality. Which one is the better option for this purpose? Thanks
Cristal Paulino almost identical. A6300 is slightly better in low light past iso6400
great vid plus being Canadian is always a bonus lol. in your opinion is it better to buy a a 6000 compared to around the same price as a t5i ? doing vlogs everyday and just don't know what would have the best benifits for me as i want something that takes great photos but can also record vlogs
jack d if you vlog more than take photos it's best to get something with a flip out screen so you can see what's in focus and what's in frame. A6000, A6300, A6500 are all great photo cams with good af in video but they lack the flipout screen. The g7x Markii or the rx100iv or rx100v are better for vlogging. I wouldn't recommend a dslr like the t5i it's kind of big and has less image quality than the Sony alpha cams. The only thing it does have is the flip out screen.
Thanks for the quick response. Right now im using the canon vixia r700 for video but i want something that takes really good quality pictures. im also recording a wedding for a family member which ill be taking pics as well so the camcorder isn't enough. im about an hour west of toronto so all we have here is henrys or best buy so the t5i was the one that they all chose over anything else.
Nice vid, thanks. For sharing.
Great comparison video. Thanks!
Very Informative, Keep it up Bro
Hi bro, what your micro name using in this video ?? The sound is so good, man !!!
Issue is that the A6000 has auto audio level, so you get hissing noise when there is silence. Also rear buttons of the A6000 tend to become unresponsive and a new logic board is needed ($330 USD repair). Also A6300 has better EVF and I was told does not have the rear buttons failure common in the A6000
OMD EM10 MKII has the best video in checking many samples on UA-cam. The A6000 has more jerky video in the motion and also some focus and noise in darker parts of the video. Also no touch screen for tap focusing on the A6000.
So if I want to just purchase to take pictures during a trip and I know I won't be using video too often, should I buy the a6000? Any advice would help. The salesperson at Best Buy was trying to push for the a6300.
Hey Lee. Thanks so much for your videos. I just need some advice. I'm trying to be budget conscious. I have a lot of video equipment but I am looking for a camera that I can put on a crane 2 3-axis gimbal or something somewhere to get some good quality lower light indoor shots. I'm pretty much just doing 1080 video. It's been a couple of years since you reviewed the Sony a6000 and a6300. I was just curious if you think that getting an a6000 is still a good option at this point and if so what lens would you recommend for some good lower light 3-axis gimbal shots indoors?
@ant billionz Thanks so much for your reply man. One last question... what would you say is your most useful accessory for the a6000?
@ant billionz Thanks!
Thank you, exactly what I was curious about. I wonder whether the difference is internal sharpening algorithm differences? The other thing I am most interested is low light ability in 1080p differences. How much more sensitive is the A6300, is it as much as a stop? I think it is worth noting that if you have a 1080p workflow, on the occasions you need telephoto you kind of have a (no light loss) 2x extender if you shoot that scene in 4k. Maybe low light scenes would be better shot in 4k as I think the scaling would reduce noise?
+Lensvoodoo Yeah if you shoot in 4k and downscale it there is alot less noise because it gets compressed smaller. So if you are shooting in high iso and dont need 60fps 4k to 1080p downscale is much better
+Zed ProMedia Good. I understand that 1080p (in camera) is also better for noise low light. f you could take the time, do you think you could do a quick test and see how they compare, it would be very informative! As far as low light vs the a6000 how many stops more sensitive would you guess? Thanks for your time and info.
Hi there! I'm approaching you as I'm having an emergency here. I'm using a Sony A3000 camera and I'm a newbie and I messed up my settings. I pressed something wrong and now my LCD panel display has a blinking 30" in the left corner where I should have my shutter speed value displayed e.g. 1/60 or 1/180. My camera is set on "P" mode right now. I desperately need your competent assistance and support in order to resolve the issue. I really don't know what to do.
Don’t forget that the a6300 allows for external microphone which plays for a huge game changer in audio. One huge flaw of the a6000 in my opinion
Thank you for your video... i still thinking which Sony Camera i will buy for my girl. She need to take some shots from holiday but she need really good viedo. And A6000 looks better then A6300 and A7ii - A6000 has really fast sharpening better then two which we are thinking, but A7ii is FF. But what do you think? It si better buy A6000 and spend money for better lenses? :) Or buy A7ii with 16-55m, 3,5-5,6?
I hope you understand my question :D and thanks for your time
Jan Vobruba get the Sony ax53
After watching your video, I decided to buy a6000L to make UA-cam video.Thanks you so much !
Thanks for comparison! If I plan on using the camera for fairly up close cinematic car videos. Would you recommend the 6000 over the 6300? I'm already kind of leaning towards the 6000 due to its cheaper price which leaves more room for glass.
If you never plan to shoot 4k then the a6000 is a great choice.
Zed ProMedia thanks for the really quick reply and your input!!
I’m buying a Sony a6000 myself this week , I’m trying to use it to make homemade music videos by myself , what would you recommend an order to get the best cinematic video shot ?
Thanks
where can i watch the videos you did with the a6000??
Do you recommend reducing the Sony a 6000 sharpness to -3 when recording a cinematic talking head video in 24 frames per second?
I appreciate your time!
great review bud thanks
how about Slo Motion? Does the a6000 shoot in SloMo? 120fps?
Carlos Castillo I’m late but no. 60 fps
What S-log did you use for the a6300? That may be the issue.
Ds really helped. Thanks a lot!
I got the a6300 and I am not made of money. If I need good 1080p I will shoot XAVC 60Mbps at 4K instead of 100Mbps or to an external recorder. The 1080p is okay, it is a bummer but the 4K is great and the 1080p uncompressed still looks pretty good when I capture directly to ProRes with embedded audio and timecode. The weather sealing is something I only learned about AFTER I bought the camera, I knew about the sturdier body but that is another factor. I baby my cameras but that does not mean they won't get beat to hell. My Canon 550D looks like it's been through more than one warzone.
@zed pro media I need help i am barely starting to get into photograhy but i cant decide between sony a6000 or sony a6300 or the newer one. I do need video but i dont think 4k is that important i don't think also my pc does 4k i will be using premium pro to edit vids. i want to make work out vids or vids when i go hiking and travel make cool vids of my family mainly since i am barely starting and learn in the processes. I will also be taking pics i was thinking get the sony a6000kit and get the sigma 30mm 1.4 and another lens or go with the a6300 with the sigma or 6500 just kit lens but since i am just starting is all that extra stuff really important should i just go with the cheapest and learn i have never used the cameras so idk if the difference is that big. what do you think i should do advice would be greatly appreciated. is the body important can the 6000 perform the same as the other with good lenses??
dude! what about low light?
thank you - i have one question - about the jello effect or rolling shutter - which ist better in 1080 50p or 60p;) ?
Good review I like it
How you configure facedetect autofocus? Great video!
Is Sony A6000 enough without buying other lenses?
with the a6300 you can put a mount adapter on a it works,,you cant with the a6000 which i have love.. no plans for 4k or sports
I think I heard the 6300 will stream video to a device wireless wifi while this is NOT available with a6000
Both a6000 and 6300 r same they added 300 more on a6000 😂😂😂😂
Can you tell me how you were able to get the film from the camera
The question is, did you use Xavc-s codec on a6000 and also on a6300? Not the crappy avchd?
Yes they were both on xavcs
Thnx for the fast answer :D That gives u a new subscriber :D Ps. im getting A6000 to my B cam next to A7s ...
+terosyva nice! It's a great little camera for the price if you don't need 4K. Although the size limits the battery life it's still awesome to have a small easy to setup camera with great image quality. Cheers!
Yup, 4K ain't yet what i need in work. Not before TV channels etc switch full on 4K.... 1080p will last for years :D
Nice bos
exelent, Thank you
Excellent
Do you used gimbal in this video?
hey whats your favorite picture profile for the sony a6000? I've been trying to find something that works with the a6000 and a6300 since I shoot with both cameras.
matt cine4
So if you don't have a Monster-PC to cut and render the 4k footage then you should go A6000
This just confirmed my decision :) THANKS
hi . i am currently planning to buy a 6300. do you recommend it over fuji xt20?
123 abc get a6000 bozo
Hello, thank you for the video. Do you know which one has the best autofocus in video mode between the Gx85 and the A6000? Because the A6300 is too expensive for me and I just want to use video mode. I have Canon 6D for pictures. (Stills?) Sorry for my English.
Salomon Mika Forget the gx series... it has crap autofocus
Nimród Tv I am going to buy the G80 I think because Sony A6300, as a very bad screen and overheating problems, and I need to use outside.
I recommend the G7 to you if you think Panasonic will give you more.BTW Sony's APS-C is much bigger than the 4/3 sensor. It's your choice.
Nimród Tv why the G7?
Is this Vancouver?
no low light test? WHY?
good review
When u shoot in 4K but scale it down to 1080p the quality is insane on the a6300
Bredrins Vlogs for double the price? Lmaoo
a6000 vs a6300 or the classic a7? which one is better? since the 6300 and a7 are the same price on amazon right now
a6300 is the best for the price. The a7 is quite old now but it is full frame. Way slower auto focus and no 4k video.
A6000 it is
a6300 has 120fps on 1080p which is why i kinda like it, but hey, choosing a6000 with a gimbal is still worth it.
Хорошее сравнение! у меня 6300. Good comparison. I have 6300
Greatest cameras both of👍
I have A6300 4K camera✌️😊
tanks
What bitrates were the tests filmed in? 100m?
Yep 100mbps
nice video
Great vid! You make me save 600 bucks. I'll go with the a6000
What do you guys think about changing my a7sii for a a6500 for gimbal work. For me I am wanting a little faster continiuos autofocus for simple fashion videos, i have read the a6500 is much better. Can anybody give me advice as to whether I should or should not switch over for faster/better continiuos autofocus? I have a 16-35 f4 oss That I usually use in apc mode anyways on the A7sii. Thanks for any opinion's
I shoot just 60p by the way!! I have read the 1080 on 6300 and 6500 are crappy?
Just in case you are still undecided on this....I have bothe the a6300 (which is almost identical to the a6500) and the a7s ii, and I shoot only 50p myself.. The difference in AF performance is like night and day. You cant trust the a7s ii AF at all. It is horrible slow and hunts all the time. I would say that it is able to nail AF 50% of the time. The a6300 on the other hand you can just put in AF mode and forget about it. It will do a perfect job at AF 98% of the time. I have used it in AF mode shooting television every single day now for almost one year. Both on gimbal, steadicam and handheld. The only time it will fail is in face detect mode when dealing with persons using glasses or have something on their head that makes it hard for the camera to recognise it as a face. It will still AF perfectly on the person. But if another person walks past the camera in the background (even far away) and the camera detects a face on that person it will jump to that person very quickly and then back to the subject in the front as soon as the person in the background is out of the frame. So just be aware of this. Other than that just trust the AF. It is the best I have ever tried and almost perfect.
By the way.....the AF of the a7s ii is almost identical to the old a7s. It is a tiny tiny bit faster. But we are talking about extremly slow compared to just very very slow. Both are unusable for anything challanging.
The a7s is however better at producing nice 1080p video out of the box. The a6300 can come across as kind of soft in this mode. That is why I also bought the a7s ii. But since I need a camera with a AF system you can depend on I cant really use the a7s ii for my work. I have no trouble doing manual focus on pro cine lenses, but manual focus on focus by wire lenses is just a nightmare when you have multiple subjects running around so you need to re-focus every 10 second. So I am thinking about selling the a7s ii and wait for the a7 iii or the a7s iii if it gets phase detect AF. But for now a reliable AF is more important than a marginally sharper image.
By the way...focus peaking on the a6300 is totally useless. Even on its lowest setting it insists that almost everything is in focus even if it is not. The focus peaking on the a7s ii is much better. But with the a6300 AF you will never really need the focus peaking anyway, so for me its a non issue.
The last few days I have done some real life test comparing the two cameras side by side shooting the same thing. And when I compare the picture quality the difference in real life situations are not as big as most people think. If you just use the factory setting you will see the difference in sharpness between the two if you study the details closely. The a7s ii is a bit better. But if you set the detail level on the a6300 to +3 I really really need to look to spot the difference. And if you just leave the detail level at 0 and instead add 10% sharpness in Adobe Premiere in post I would not be able to tell the difference between the two. Mayby the a6300 is a bit sharper. So I will try to add something like 5% sharpness instead to make them identical.
In very low light the a7s ii is however naturally much better.
I am starting to suspect that in 1080 50/60p mode Sony have tuned the sharpness of the a6300 to be softer than it needs to be on purpose just so it will not destroy the market for the a7s series. They have added sharpness to the a7s downasmpling and reduced sharpness on the a6300 downsampling.
So if I can adjust the sharpness of the a6300 so that I am happy about it I will keep that until Sony are able to produce a camera where you can have both good AF and good 1080 50p video in the same camera.
By the way moire etc is almost identical on the two in 50p mode. Sometimes the a6300 is worse, sometimes the a7s ii is worse. I would actually say that the a7s ii is worse overall.
The viewfinder on the a6300 also just looks nicer.
After having used the a6300 for so long it is just impossible to move back to a7s ii for good. The a6300 is just better in almost every way.
Hhhhh
that was a nice video test between these 2. But how much better is the A6300 in lower light? Is it worth buying the A6300 for the better low light? (I read the A6300 is better in this)
hardly noticeable.
Tom Van Den Berghe the a6300 is considerably better in low light video. I have both and it's a big difference
thx for the anwser! I don't 4k and the 4k in the A630 is not 50/60p in 4K so useless for me. But like you say the low light is better maybe I purchase the A6300.
Hi. I cannot understand why 1080p can be different from a camera to another. It is still 1080p so, what does it make the difference?
Salomon Mika You can say the same thing about 4k. Most cell phones record "4k" but it's nothing even close to 4k from RED Cinema camera. There is no real standard when it comes to video quality in any given resolution. Camera manufactures give you a final video that has the dimensions of 1080p or 4k but they are not equal. There are a lot of factors too. Sensor size, dynamic range, lens, processing, down scaling etc. So in the instance of a6300 vs a600 for whatever reason Sony isn't utilizing the sensor in the same way they do with the a6000 I have no idea why. They are both slightly different sensors but the same megapixels. My guess is that the a6300 processes the sensor data differently regardless of them both being 24mp and that's why the image seems slightly less detailed.
Ah ok thank you.I have a Nikon D5100 and the quality of the 1080p is really poor. I don't know why. maybe the lens (35 mm f1.8) I want to buy the A6300 I hope the 1080 will be better!!! And I have a Canon 6D for filming it ins't convenient but with the Sigma art 50 mm f1.4 the quality is better. I don't know if the quality of the A6300 will be better than the Canon 6D
So from what I've heard is that when it comes to video recording at 4k with the A6300, the A6300 records at 6k in camera and downscales it to 4k.
If you really look for that crispy clean 1080p, in my opinion you should shoot at 4k and downscale it to 1080p.
Compare that to a camera that shoots directly in 1080p vs a camera that shoots in 4k and downscales it to 1080p you will get a better quality video.
Correct me if I'm wrong.
Kharon you would be correct. The only thing about shooting in 4k and downscaling to 1080 is that you can only do 30fps max and there is a lot more rolling shutter. But yes the 1080p image looks much better when you downscale
Zed ProMedia Ah yes the rolling shutter, didn't think of that at all.
Then it all depends on what we are shooting! Thanks for the input.
Nice vid.
please suggests me good DSLR for beginners just for photo shoot
Find a used 5Dmkii its going to be cheaper than a new 70D or 80D and I personally love that camera. I owned one for 4 years. There are other beginner cameras like T6i but I still think its worth your money to get an older used 5Dmkii and learn how to use a pro camera. Those 5D's are built like tanks and you should be able to find one for like $800
thank you so much and that's a very good choose but looking for little cheaper price around under $500 or 550
Yisus! How mutch i want a low light hi iso comparision...
Barely any difference. They both fall apart after 6400 iso. There is suppose to be slightly more detail on the newer sensor but I have yet to really notice it. There is obviously more detail if you shoot 4K and downscale to 1080p but that's really all I've noticed.
hey could I have the link to that music video? :)

A6000 vs 750d which one
A6000 cheap with amazing result
Same!:))

I am Sony A6300 user
m
a6300 is VERY bad at 1080p. dont know why ut that's truth. it only good in 4k
Crazy! a6000 is much better! This is a joke 😂😂😂
Blake Duty low light worse! No 4k but ither than that yes not much difference... And 4k in a6300 unusable on anything other than a tripod! Rolling shutter is so bad... Wire camera ever tested for it! Hold in hand and it's noticeable with natural holding movement shocking! I have both cameras! Just low light and picture profiles makes the a6300 better!
thanks
