The two most important factors (considering the image quality of both companies at some extend equal) that drove my decision were 1) camera size and 2) image stabilization since I do shot mostly handheld. maybe that wasn't so obvious, back when Samsung bailed on ilc? Noooo..left-eyed shooters need cameras, too! That much hasn’t changed in Sony’s Alpha cameras as of late; the a6400 is no exception, and it uses largely the same image sensor as the a6500.

I considered many cameras for quite some time and this is really choice I am absolutely satisfied with and I know I will be for several years until some new groundbreaking innovation in photo industry.4K with HLG/log profiles, great AF, low light performance, great lenses, good feel in hand, joy to use the viewfinder, small size for travelling, excellent lenses for good price etc...The only weakness is rolling shutter, but compared to competition still best choice.I considered also Fuji, but both T3 and T30 didn´t feel good in my hand at all and with limited expensive selection of lenses I refused this experiment. It's even worse than the A6000, which was released 5 years ago, which is absolutely shameful of Sony: https://www.dpreview.com/reviews/image-comparison/fullscreen?attr29_0=sony_a6400&attr29_1=sony_a6000&attr72_0=1080&attr72_1=1080&normalization=full&widget=679&x=-0.5846504559270517&y=-0.5865321601360158.

The Sony a6400 and Fujifilm X-T30 are the two company's mid-priced mirrorless cameras. 100-400? After looking at how bad rolling shutter is even for static shots I couldn't even fathom using this at all for video which is a shame because they almost had this camera nailed down. Happy to help you! I also picked up the Sigma 16mm for £365 before it jumped to £388. The reason I got this was to shoot the Sony 100-400 w/ the 1.4X tele-converter for birding, awesome combination! Image Quality. It’s the exact same sensor as the a6300. You don't know anything about video. I imagine that they looked at the future of ilc, and saw it crashing, like it is now, where crop isn't a money maker, and sony is playing to win. It's an inexpensive cold shoe relocator plate. especially that it works with any type subject, human and non-human without having to select a specific AF mode first. I'd get the body-only at Adorama, at Amazon, at B&H or at Crutchfield. The Sony a6400 is a camera that straddles the line between consumer and enthusiast, delivering automatic operation for family snapshots with the image quality and speed aficionados love. Try other brands. It comes as a kit with the small and weightless do-eve… @George1958 - It's not a "cage." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F_fq0lTT3Vw. NY 10036. It also helps to adapt and have a quick output, it's the perfect tool. The Canon R5 has many noteworthy features, not the least of which is 8K video recording. The best camera for family trips is the compact Cyber-shot DSC-RX100 VII, while our choice for travel photography is the Sony a7C. I've been on both sides of the fence. Sometimes people are like brutus from the popeye cartoon series. There are 8 ISO settings available on the Sony A6000. If you don’t trust DP, or you have a penchant for conspiracy theories, why don’t you read something else? That same body would be the new standard for the top tier A6600. @captura - Cameras like the 7D MKII and D500 seemed to do just fine without the "advantages which are accrued to having a FF sensor." That and I have a few FE lenses to put on it. Do you not get that with Canon? Sony A7II, $998#2. In the mirrorless era, I've owned EOS M, Fuji X, Samsung NX, Olympus m4/3, and most recently Sony E. Again, having used all these various brands, it allows me to experience them first-hand, without being married to a single brand like you are. @ZeBebito We just want a camera that doesn't have shake issues when standing still. There are a lot of photo/video cameras that have found a role as B-cameras on professional productions or A-camera for amateur and independent productions. Snooze you loose! It's another way of surfacing content that goes beyond the spec sheet. But, and Sony lovers are not going to like this, I think how good this camera is, for taking pics, it is twice as expensive here in Europe as The Canon M 50. Thank you for signing up to TechRadar. Sony A6400 View tested lens If I were a f@nboy, I would have never left Nikon. That nice m50 has a flip out screen, so why relocate the hot shoe? Bravo! Yep we are talking £25 for your cage, not a lot and that would be fine if the promo mentioned you need a cage if you wish to use an external mic, but it didn’t and that is what I am arguing. We waiting for next a6500 (not, its exist! @2eyesee Yep thats the review.

Sign up to get breaking news, reviews, opinion, analysis and more, plus the hottest tech deals! He wasn't....it's basically unusable. I am a hobbyist photographer many years. the A6400 is a joke. It's a better option than buying into the EOS M's very limited and isolated ecosystem which Canon barely even supports. High quality vloggers would be buying additional gear/accessories for their camera anyway. I did not know it was selling so well on Amazon.Maybe I will have to change my mind and buy a couple of these cameras.Millions of flies can't be wrong....... As a Sony shooter, I'm happy that Sony has released the A6400, but what I really want are fast constant aperture zooms and updated native lens with improved optics from Sony. T3- still twisting and spinning , now you are reduced to weakly trying to justify your position based on a personal history and trying to justify yourself as open minded. Only the A7ii outsold the M50, remember I said APSC. for such a long lens combination ibis isn't as good as OSS. For me, that is a DESIGN FLAW. How much better is the real time tracking than the RX100 VI? Better or worse for the axis is another BS argument, just look at all those utube vloggers who are very ably using the M50 without issue in producing excellent content without worrying about your better axis. Performance and image quality. but IBIS was far more important for me, even from battery life or the crazy shutter speed Fuji. https://digital-photography-school.com/6-benefits-of-using-cameras-with-larger-sensors/. T3- irrelevant , you can take an M50 out the box, clip on a Rhode and you are off. The words 'Real-Time' don't even appear in the camera's menu. So they can't grow within the system, unlike A6400 buyers who have a much broader and higher ecosystem to grow within. Not sponsored or it would be labeled as such. And all of those users will benefit from having an on-axis LCD screen, whether they are viewing the screen from the front, or whether they are viewing the screen from the back (angled up or down for high or low shooting). Time to face reality. Depending on which system you're in and what your needs are, they might just be the compact, well-priced and impressively sharp little primes you've been looking for. I find with the Sonys a lot of times the color performance depends a lot on the lens. It's a niche (and pricey) product to be sure, but so far we find it to be well-designed and capable of outstanding results. Wouldn't be surprised if they were outputting in a Rec 601 color space haha. Looks too good to be true, so I checked Amazon and the A6300 is £779 body only right now. For the cashback you need to buy directly from Amazon.co.uk - from what I see the kit is sold by PSIP (based in France) and fulfilled by Amazon so you may not get the cashback. :/. ", Yep, it's because it's $400 cheaper. Probably not, but i'd like the chance to tinker with it if they both had it. Chris and Jordan from DPReview TV also shot a gallery with the lens, but on Panasonic bodies. This week Chris and Jordan compare four popular mid-range APS-C mirrorless cameras: the Canon M6 II, Nikon Z50, Sony a6400 and the Fujifilm X-T30. Taking the a6400 into account as a whole, here's how we think it stacks up for these common photographic use cases. So far, I'm really enjoying the a6400. AlthoughI’m still using my A77II with Sigma 10-20. So the reality is that M50 sales are a rather hollow victory. Not good enough for a $1000 body and 24 MP sensor. The Sony A6400 mirrorless camera uses some of the same autofocus technology and the processor of the A9 in a compact, more affordable crop-sensor camera. Thank you for the most informative and most awesome comment ever I have yet seen in DPR.i was so humbled with your wisdom and judicious use of word. Images are sharp, detailed and rich. The video out of Sony cameras very much just looks like video. Samsung saw that the best future profit potential was in cell phones. And the already existing 24-105 F4 on a FF costs the same and is probably better for handling while giving equivalent results. https://i.ytimg.com/vi/bMWr8HzCBOs/maxresdefault.jpg, https://i.ytimg.com/vi/ZAbA2R_DELw/maxresdefault.jpg, https://i.ytimg.com/vi/MPTekwdilmk/maxresdefault.jpg, https://i.ytimg.com/vi/he7MHwP0YeQ/maxresdefault.jpg. Not a huge difference especially when you consider that the M50 sells for HUNDREDS of dollars less than A6400. If you’re wondering about image quality: it is solid. But of course, if this costs € 1100 I do not even want to think what the replacement of the A6500 will cost, € 1500-1700, for that price I get an A7rii that will give me more quality with the APSC objectives that I already have ( despite the 18mpx, the ISO signal-to-noise ratio is 1 stop better than the A6XXX series in APSC mode) and with the Full Frame lenses 2 stops. It's sad and pathetic. That's one of the reasons I prefer Fujifilm. Tested the Canon 50 f/1.0, 24 f/1.4, 85 f/1.2, the EFs 10-22, and 17-55, all worked great, even with eye detect and excellent tracking, better then on any Canon body. Lightweight, compact and sturdily built, the α6400 is loaded with impressive capabilities and features. Canon EOS M50, $599#5. Its right for whole world! Double ouch. The Sony A6500 delivers some seriously impressive image quality… As for most people need to buy x for vlogging, what is that? The colour reproduction is good with natural tones. Additionally, they have the advantage of a crop-factor FL multiplier (without having to crop down a FF sensor, which would obviously result in lower resolution). There are work arounds, like a cage, but that is more money and the fact its needed is poor design. :). Canon M50, $629. i was never a friend of all the af options in nenus and "custom functions", "use cases" etc. And yes. But i do think others may like it and i look forward to the 'Is it right for you' articles on the rest of the current models. @George1958 - The only reason M50 may outsell the A6400 is because it's $400 cheaper! So that is the only reason people would buy it over an A64000. The A5 is called A7ii... and the A4 is the original A7 :). Sony a6000, a6100, a6300, a6400, a6500, a6600: what's the difference and which should I buy? ), next 6600, and next 6666! It's the APS-C camera to beat in terms of AF only. In short I believe that it is good you make a list with priorities check what is the most important for you and at some point draw a line and make a decision. Having to buy a third party solution in the form of a cage to use the camera for vlogging is really lame. JPEGs straight out of the camera look very impressive – sharpness is good, while the contrast is just about right too. As Sony has stuck with the same EVF as on both the A6300 and A6500 there are no surprises here, with a decent resolution and magnification for a camera at this price point. With that price and lack of IBIS.... No. Today, at its Snapdragon Tech Summit, Qualcomm revealed the details of its new Snapdragon 888 system on a chip (SoC) that, amongst performance and battery improvements, offers an array of impressive photographer features, should Android smartphone manufacturers choose to make the most of them. Glad you like it. does the a6400 have af field selection also by tapping touch screen? You point to the flip up screen and the microphone input and suggest that it is a good choice for vlogging. There is nothing that needs a correction, and best of all you don’t need a third party cage either. I was evaluating recently for my new semi-pro camera Fuji and Sony. That's you. for only $900. For one thing, a low-end FF MILC would have a lower frame rate, such as the A7II's current 5fps, compared to the A6400 which does 11fps. The nice thing about the centered flip-up screen is that it stays along the axis of the lens, so your eye isn't looking off to the side when vlogging. Premium APS-C models of all makes have become too expensive. As for f@nboy, hah hah, how very ironic. True, but it would have the advantages which are accrued to having a larger sensor. My A6300 works well for me. With Canon, I've owned the 10D, 20D, 40D, 5D, and 60D. Sony lenses are expensive. Just paid £625 on Amazon for a new A6300 - with a further £200 cash back to come. The 7D shot at 8fps, while the 6D shot at 4.5fps. So knock your self out if you want, but when your done my observation stands. These capable cameras should be solid and well-built, have both speed and focus for capturing fast action and offer professional-level image quality. Yes, both those lenses are $2500-2600, about double what the 200-500 Nikon and alternatives cost. You can pull what ever data, tired arguments, justifications and rationalisations you like, but when you are done, you still can’t use an external mic on a stock A64000 without a third party accessory, fact. But all you can obsess about is a cheap mic relocator, LOL. That was very insightful. All you ever do is bleat about how good Sony is and how deficient canon and the like are but in reality you have an opinion at best, but struggle to accept other people do have valid opinions. - I also have to say, I'm not really warming up to the EVF. Camera buyers in 2019 are very lucky! That's why, in spite of owning sharper lenses, I'll always keep my 16-50. For bloggers, vloggers and independent content creators, the Sony A6400 … not for every photo of course, but for quite a number. As for your most people don’t use external mics, how do you know what other people use? You are correct. For sports and action, I wonder how this camera compares to the Nikon D500 which was rated very highly by DPReview.BTW, I think there might be an advantage for a smaller sensor camera in sports photography where telephoto lenses are the norm. The 24mm F3.5, 35mm F2 and 65mm F2 DG DN share similar designs and have weather-sealed metal bodies. That's a seriously good deal. I have preferred the photos taken with that one compared to the 18-105mm. But now let's take into consideration how easy or difficult the fixes for these two flaws are:1) A6400's flaw can be easily corrected by inexpensive mic relocator plates.2) M50's flaw is more costly to correct because it requires a separate external LCD monitor to be used. Full frame Canon or Nikon real dslr with a 200, 300 or 400 f2.8 lens is the only worthwhile sports camera in my opinion. The battery hasn't been upgraded to the newer Z-series power packs found in the latest full-frame Alpha cameras, so battery life is a modest 360 shots if you're using the viewfinder regularly, while this can be stretched to 410 shots if you're happy to rely on the rear display. I'll go for a6500 too for 5-axisIBIS + weather sealed, and normally weather sealed body = better build quality. Not a big deal. So unfortunate. Visit our corporate site. It has allowed me to compare and contrast what various brands offer, through first-hand experience: https://ibb.co/jw14pX5https://ibb.co/tDJ4yZs. Ah, we finally get to the heart of the matter, as the NEX-6 is the predecessor in the line to the A6000 despite having 8 more megapixels than the … The rear screen is too small, and not really as high quality as the one for a computer/laptop, and the lack of a good input device like a mouse (how do you pin point a spot for WB calibration?) @George1958 - First, ask yourself this: is it more comfortable to look down the axis of the lens, or to look off to the side of the camera. You will receive a verification email shortly.

With a 1.8x squeeze, the lens produces a more pronounced anamorphic effect than the 1.33x lenses offered by Sirui, albeit at a much higher cost. It's not necessarily the most feature-packed or expensive smartphones that move. Is like listening classical music in your phone’s speaker and believe that’s good enough. A camera screen will never be as precise as a big monitor, nonsense. Chris and Jordan reveal their picks for the best and worst camera gear of 2020 while playing their newest drinking game.

Sony A7III, $1998#5. That $400 price differential is obviously a huge factor. Nope. I shoot more brands than you and I don’t BS others that I own gear that I destest. Not sure why they didn't continue to make sensors though (for ILCs), that doesn't make sense to me. And it only barely outsells the A6400. And as someone who owns a 60D with an off-axis LCD, I detest them.https://ibb.co/CQ9RBKxUnlike a f@nboy such as yourself, I use both Canon and Sony. Did you get that from amazon too? that you receive more respect? And what is worse is that it can not be easily corrected. Sony A6000, $498#6. So social media is viewed mostly with color calibrated displays?

Sony's a6400 is a near-universally capable camera, with a market-leading autofocus implementation at a surprisingly modest price. I believe that the mirrorless APSC manufacturers have lost the north, both Fuji XT30, Sony A6400, Fuji XT3, and A6500 and its successor (surely) are excessively expensive. It don’t matter you hate flippy screens, you have not got a functional flip up screen with your 64000 once you put a Rhodes on, unless you buy a fix.
