haha just passionate! you too man! keep up!
Your work just keeps getting better & better, Jason.
Jason Vong no comparison link in the video or description
WesTex Homesteading & Outdoors it is in the video but I will link it in the description too. Thanks! ua-cam.com/video/p1IyM3YgDMw/v-deo.html
00:13 - does it still CROP in 4k 30 frames per second?
And Full HD 120 fps?
Hey, that ‘No crop in 4K” really hurts Canon users😭
Sorry I should have been more PC 😭
This has better DR than the EOS RP.
Why would it hurt Canon shooters? What a childish statement. I'm a Canon user and couldn't give a stuff what Sony does or doesn't have.
Think about your brainless statement. Does it HURT you if your friend's car has a feature your car doesn't have? Does it HURT you if your friend has a feature on his/her computer that yours hasn't? It seems Sony f'heads are the bulk of people who care about what anyone else has. I just buy what I want and use it.
@@zodiacfml Better DR and vastly inferior high ISO quality in stills. And? Why are you so bothered about Canon? Buy what you want and stop worrying about what others want.
cooloox jeez relax, he’s just kidding!
Easily the best review I’ve seen of the A6400, which sold me on buying this as my first real camera from a smartphone. Went over all the pros and instead of focusing on the negative, shed them all in a light that makes them seem not like negatives at all. Especially my hesitation with the flip up LCD, battery, and no IBIS. Awesome work!!! New fan :)
Wow Hong Kong looks so beautiful. You did an awesome job not only reviewing the camera but also artfully demonstrating the environment. Kudos!
Dang Jason, always setting the bar high for every camera review - sooo good! This video really changed my perspective on the a6400, definitely helpful!
best review ever on A6400
agree
It really is! The other reviewers complain so much. Takes the fun out of seeing whats available with new cameras.
Yes
J Koh agreed
Jason, I’ve been following your videos a while and do I ever appreciate your work! Love to see you stepping it up with this video. Well done 🙌🏻
Thanks Craig!
This will be my first camera, all thanks to you. I’ve been looking at Sony cameras for weeks and you narrowed it down in one video. Fantastic job, got a sub.
Welcome to the channel!
Hey man just wanted to say I’m a fan of your videos. You really helped me make my purchase decision a year ago on the A6500. Keep up the great and helpful vids!
appreciate that man! Thank you!
Beautiful timelapses, great cinematics, transitions were smooth and straight to the point. Your best review yet. I think your going to have to start traveling more for reviews because of how high you just set the bar.
Down for Mexico Part 2?
Jason Vong you know it!
Dude you hit it out of the park with this video! Super tempted to get this now!
thanks Joseph!
Literally the best review in youtube for this camera. Been searching for a good review and you just made my day brotha!
I recently decided to get myself the a6400 and your video got me very excited to pick it up this weekend. Thanks for all the great info!
Easily the best review I’ve seen outta the other 100
Tremendous review Jason! This is quite possibly your best video yet. So much content in a compact video, extremely well shot and fluidly edited. I'm very excited to get mine to pair with my a7iii. Eager to use it for vlogging and live streaming. I'm also excited to no longer have to take blind selfies for UA-cam thumbnails 😂
Appreciate that! Super proud of this one! Gonna keep pushing the limit!
Dr. Karthik Ramanan Jason is killing it.
Greetings from Seychelles 🇸🇨
I just received my A6400 and loving it, great reviews and straight to the point. thank you.
This is a very helpful review of the 6400. Other folk have been downplaying this little camera but I think your review points up its amazing qualities and indeed value.
This video was so helpful! Best review of the a6400 I've watched! Also, the footage is dreamy & I cannot wait to make my own!!!
Thank you!
It's really best review on UA-cam about a6400☺️👍🏻
You are one my most favourite UA-camr. It's a delight watching your videos.
Thanks for helping us out with our Sony a6400, and, for allowing us to catch a glimpse of Hong Kong!
As a subscriber from when Jason Vong had less than 1000 subs, I am so happy for Jason getting closed to 100,000 subs soon.
CONGRATS IN ADVANCE!!!! BUT I will definitely going to miss your braces. =)
BY THE WAY, BEST REVIEW FOR A6400 HANDS DOWN PERIOD.
Braces?!?!?
yep i was not talking about yours but your dear friend Danny @ that1cameraguy got me confused. I blame him lol. By the way, I also do miss ya collab together. I miss those days XD
We are still doing Monday Lives! And might collab it up at WPPI in vegas next week
I pre ordered and look forward to your set-up video, Thanks Jason!
Same! I look forward to it very much! Show us noobs some good compact lenses as well so we can coat pocket this cam.
I just got a sony a6400 and I can't stop watching your videos!!
great review, Jason! your video production quality is awesome
Great video! Excited to get mine in the mail on the 28th
Such an incredible camera, Jason! Need to upgrade to something like this!
This is the best video about sony cameras. Quality work
Your shots in Hong Kong are so nice man. Yes, you delivered again with this.
wow nice comprehensive review.. thanks
Well done Jason.... will pre order 6400 😀
You always make the best video reviews on camera; thanks again as always jason!
Cool video man! Straight to the point with facts and examples for each situation. After watching, it just made me realize there's a lot more perks in the A6400 even without in body stabilization.
Thanks for this review! It’s the best one I’ve seen as you actually go into the detail needed to decide for myself whether it’s the camera for me, not just put your opinion on it based on your existing priorities. The menu and customisation stuff was super useful to know 🤜👍
I wish I could afford this. I've been watching so many reviews on this and I'm really falling for it. I'm a Sony girl, so the flip screen is plus!!
Great job Jason! It's exciting to see the new features in the new firmware.
I found this channel! Such a unique and fantastic review! I can feel the atmosfer of Hongkong, Good job 😁👍
You missed to include your collar mic in the full gear kit link
I was going to review this camera until I watched this and realised there is just no point... well done bro, you cover absolutely everything. Will now be directing any questions I get your way ;)
I’m waiting for it, for all the review about a6400 I would say yours is the best so far and the moreI watch your videos the more I want to buy it. Thank you
Thank you! I appreciate that!
Great review. Probably the best one I’ve watched. Just bought one and looking forward to using it!
Great review! I think I know what I need to replace my old A6000
80d left the chat!
Haha, I sold my 80D to buy the a6400. Best comment ever!
Great video! I've been a Nikon user for a few years and love their cameras but this Sony a 6400 Is amazing and I want one!
I've watched like 15-20 videos of sony a6100 and 6400 in three days and this video was my favorite and by far the best one, thank you so much for this efficient video; I'm even more excited to buy one and have fun!! :D
0:26 His face when he pulls off the „I‘m holding the camera“ „Oh no I‘m not“ trick, he‘s so happy😂
But such an awesome Video Jason, can‘t say you‘re my favorite UA-camr, James Matthews earns that place but you‘re definitely in my top 3😋
That's fine. James Matthews is at a whole 'nother level 😍
Thanks, from Jamaica
Amazing... Planned to buy A6400 for documentation purpose and street photography... your videos really help me a lot... The USB charge feature really one of kind...
Opening with the top feature summary was a super good move. Great review for sure!
Thanks! 😁
I can't wait to get mine! It will be my first mirrorless!
congrats!
yay. its gonna be amazing to see the change in the screen light when you adjust the exposure, and plus many lens easily get 1.4
I know it will be a learning curve for me. I've been shooting with a cannon Rebel t3i. Oldy, but I have taken some beautiful pictures with it.. just time to step it a notch or 2.
Best Review ❤❤
Acha camera hai
Great Video Jason. Its Very well organized into distinctive Sections and Extremely helpful for people to get a Very complete picture of all the Functions they need to know about
those timelapses are divine. great review jvong
thanks Frank!
Super thorough thanks for the info! Mic vs no-mic at the restaurant was a huge difference!
Definitely the only time I was glad there was a lot of background noise haha
This review is why I purchased this camera. #Subscribed
OnePlus Hype how good is this for videography
I just bought this camera. I'm very excited to start using it! Thanks for this amazing video! 😀🙏👏
Amazing review bro now i know what second camera to buy to shoot wedding films. thanks Jason keep doing what you´re doing you are so good at it.
3:50 I actually had an eating fork ready for that breakfast 😆
Well damn, this really turned my opinion around. I'm an a6000 user in desperate need of a new body, this looks quite compelling. I'll still wait for that higher-end APS-C to see how well that turns out.
When is that coming?
Mr Jason Vong...you Sir, are one of the best camera-revieuwers out there...thanx and please...keep going... :)
Mine should be here next week. Cannot wait. I'm moving from a cabin m50 and really looking chard to the new features I don't currently get to enjoy. 1080p/120fps, the new auto focus, no recording time limit. Thanks for the review, I have subscribed. :)
So that breathtaking timelapse by A6400 !!!!!
My favorite shot too for sure. ❤️
Been waiting for the camera to come out in my country, watching your vids and research. End up getting the XT3!! 😅😅 I already have an a6500, so hopefully if they ever come out with a7000 besides the a7siii! Anyway keep your vids coming!
Yaar xt3 kaisa hai?
Best review on the a6400 for sure, totally appreciated it. Please do a similar review on the a6600 when you get your hands on one.
the best review for a6400 because u use this camera for vlog! tq bro
Would you recommend this model or the older a6500? I’m looking into a new camera for shooting videos and I’m diving into the various models on the market right now.
You mentioned some stabilization problems with this model, if you’d recommend a standard lens for the a6400, which one would it be?
Ahhh yesss! The editing on this is fireee Vong. Dats it. Let's move to Hong Kong.
high five! we uploaded on the same day!
atola visuals but did jason spend 27 hrs on his video lol
@@AW305 Hes the legendary Jason Vong. He spent more time of course
I didn't keep track but it felt long
Great review - perfect breakdown and length - keep this format for all other reviews! PS - Kick ass HK timelapse :D
One of my favorite shots too! ❤️
Just so happen to travel to the same spot a month ago, think gonna study from your shots and prepare for the next trip! XD
Great video as always!
I've been saving & waiting... It's getting closer & closer... I'm a canon guy & was hoping their new camera announcement would be 120fps, 4k & log(I would happily pay $5-800 more just for that over the M50)... I would say the majority of people in this price range, don't need full frame...So instead of moving up with Canon, looks like I'm move out(I'll still use my sl2 with the a6400).... Thanks for all the info, take it easy...
yup i totally think its worth it
Me too, I am a canon guy too, I have 3 80d's and needed 4k and 120fps for my work as upgrade, I also don't need full frame, bokeh on aps-c are a lot nicer for me than fullframe, I've waited for the 90d, but was a disappointment, the cropping on 4k, the no autofocus on 120fps, and not having the 24fps which is mainly needed on what I do. I am switching to panasonic gh5 and sony a6400 now.
I have both the a6500 and a6400. I intended to use the 6400 as a second/backup camera. But I'm finding I'm using the 6400 most of the time now. The EyeAF is easier to use. I'm not having problems with image stabilization either. I fretted for weeks over buying the 6400 without IBIS but I'm finding it's mostly a non issue.
I heard Sony’s IBIS kinda sucks anyway, nothing beats a gimbal or steadicam.
I heard Sony’s IBIS kinda sucks anyway, nothing beats a gimbal or steadicam.
Thanks for the help, brother. Really helped me on making my first mirror-less camera choice.
I’m seriously considering making that my B-cam/Vlog-cam! Really cool video!
I don't want to switch from my A6500 anyway, I want a real successor of the A6500 with the new processor AND IBIS. Come on Sony! Don't want to go without IBIS. The best Sony APS-C lenses (namely Sigma 16mm, 30mm, 56mm) are not stabilized. Sure, the Sony IBIS is not the best anyway, but you definitely notice the difference when using longer focal lengths such as 56mm. Also for stills. When switching from A6000 to A6500 I definitely recognized the difference having IBIS.
I don't need the 6400, but I'm finding myself naturally drawn to it in a strange way. Holding tight for the A7SIII to upgrade my SII from, but as a B-CAM with some vintage lenses, I can see a lot going for this camera. NO RECORD time limit GO! Oh a much lower SLOG ISO as well I'm sick of 1600 ;) EDIT: sorry really great review Jason.
just brought one. really excited to learn a lot from you
I'm really appreciate for your explaining, thank Jason Vong
, you did a great job
Very informative. What lense should I buy for traveling for this a6400? Thx
Sigma 16mm
I wish Sony did a trade up program for us Sony A6300 users 🙄
Great video though! Always attentive to detail and thematic.
There is kinda a trade in deal going on right now. On BH and Adorama I think
@@JasonVong haha awesome! I'm going to go look into that for sure! Thanks man!!! 👌🏽
So it wasn't just click bait. It was definitely the best review of the 6400 I've come across so far. Good review. Very informative and easy to understand since I'm a beginner.
nice review jason , and i hope you enjoyed HK!
It's all about that 4x5 for the gramz : )
Oh shoot, need to have Sony issue an update with that 4:5
I was torn between Sony a6500 and a6400 and I think you just sold me on the a6400 ! But no IBIS is arghhh
Marie-C.
Yes me too... I actually just bought a6500 yesterday. I can still exchange it to a6400 since I haven’t open or try or turn it on yet.
Jason... pleaseeee tell us which one is better? I like to do more video than photo. Pls pls pls tell us. Subbed!!
jpinazo31 what did you chose?
Nice to hear everything that's right with a camera and not a rant about all that is wrong. I'm still hearing the same information about what's missing or lacking but it's a new camera and it's nice to feel optimistic and uplifted enough to consider this camera rather than getting to the end of a video and feeling like this camera sucks. Well done.
Jason, thanks for hugely helpful vid! I am so sold. And HK is perfect place to showcase it.
Cheers, brother!
They should work on a new firmware for the A6500 to have some of the features of the A6400... like common the timelapse feature and skin tones allot they can fix with an update ! #comeonsony !
You killed it on this video! Thanks for selling me on getting this camera!
Great one Jason!!! Hope to see you again in Hong Kong! Keep it up!!!🔥🔥🔥
ACTION JACKSON!!!
best color ive seen in youtube
thanks man!
IBIS doesn't even work that well in the a6500, so that's a non-issue in many situations (not every single one of course). but the BATTERY LIFE is the main reason i want one. selling my a6500s asap! feb 28 hurry up!
Doesn't it have the same bad battery life as all the a6000's??? Like what?
J. Sanchez no. It uses the same battery, but the whole point of this camera is the improved processor that uses less of that same battery. I get under an hour on an a6500, and people on average are getting 1hr 30 minutes or so with the new a6400 and same battery. This is the main thing I want. I recently got an A7iii and still only have 1 battery, yet it lasts all day and I’m rarely charging it, compared to carrying 5 NP50 batteries for my a6500. The change with the a6400 will be similar. Maybe only 1 spare battery to bring.
Phil Jones65 ok. Complain all you want that’s fine. But some of us are busy making content with this “old gear.” If you’d like to wait for the perfect camera, have fun. *shrug*
Phil Jones65 the small body is exactly why I like it though. Just... don’t buy it instead of telling others why they shouldn’t based on what you prefer?
Well done. Clear, earnest presentation and comparison
This is a great video, thorough and informative. Thanks Jason!
Aaaaaaand... Preordered it!!! And it's all your fault Jason!!
Muwahahhaha
@@JasonVong So, just picked it up at Best Buy (along with the 18-105 G and the Sigma 30 1.4 Contemporary) and whoooo boy do I love this camera. The menu system on the other hand....
Still using canon m50.... Upgrade?
Same for me, I love my canon 50... 🤣
Can’t wait to see it and check it out! Thanks, Jason!
Beautiful review my dear Jason.
It's a SONY you can't go wrong.
#cantgowrongwithjasonvong
Thoughts on a6400 vs Fuji X-T30?
I think the A6400 is for a more casual use and is has a flip up screen. The X-T3 it's more serious, 10 bit, up 400mbps, 4K at 60fps, amazing color profiles like Eterna. In my opinion the things that the A6400 has over the X-T3 is the price, flip up screen and no recording limit. I purchased the A6400 had it for about a week, returned it and got the X-T3. The X-T3 is definitely a step up.
@@badplatano Ok, thanks for your reply. Tho my question was about X-T30 whic is in range of A6400 by price and features.
Great video! For that reason I have just subscribed to your channel. I was thinking of upgrading from a6000 to a6500. From watching this video. I might wait for the a6400.
Awesome review! Thank you, Jason Vong
