just a question that there are some rumors of A6400 successor or we can say A7000 so what to do and one more question I am thing to buy this but getting A6000 + 16-50mm + 55-210mm and accessories under 360 $ with less than 6K shutter count in very good or we can say new condition, What to do ?
@@thetechheart The 16-50mm and the 55-210mm are very old lenses at this point and may be replaced with a version 2 soon. I got mine with the 18-135mm kit lens which is pretty versatile and would be a great choice for when you want to bring one lens on a trip or something. The aperture isn't the best, though, and I struggle to get nice background separation unless I'm zoomed in all the way. However, I honestly don't find myself needing to reach out all the way to 135mm for most photos, and when I do need that kind of range I wish I had more. If I could go back in time I would've bought it with the 16-50mm kit lens and start saving for better lenses, or just the body so I could pair it with the Tamron 17-70mm which would complement the Sony 70-350mm.
I've had the camera for a couple of years and haven't regretted it one bit! Recently completed my first short film shoot with it and the result is impeccable!
How do you get the most out of the autofocus/ How do you focus your shots on the fly? I'm a storm chaser and I'm trying to figure out a good option to focus my video fast and reliably.
I have been taking pictures since my grandfather bought me a camera on my 14th birthday. In 2018 I have decided to upgrade it and the guy in the shop I was at told me to go with the a6400. It was so natural for me to get to know the camera and it's such a lightweight and yet takes absolutely awesome pictures. I love it still. ❤
Made my living with this camera for three years until upgrading to the FX30. Excellent camera and great value for the money! I still use it as a B-cam.
Got mine November 2022 and it was the first camera I ever bought myself. I borrowed my cousin's Canon EOS Rebel T3i for a while but I found it to be really cumbersome to bring with me on trips, so I never used it much. I remember going to a Best Buy and comparing the size of my Canon to the a6400 (the Canon body was literally like twice the size). Now I bring my a6400 with me on every trip I go to.
Basically the same story as me! My dad got me started on his old astro-modded Canon T1i. Unfortunately, the astro-mod got in the way of my photos a lot, and so I decided I wanted an upgrade. Saved up and got my a6400 in November as well! Only complaints are the colors are a bit wonky, video has rolling shutter, and the lenses are more expensive!
I just purchased this camera with a kit lens a few months back, and I couldn’t be happier. I watched a lot of your videos while you were using this camera and can’t thank you enough for your insight Curtis.
@@suoli6421 Your ISO is probably too high. To minimize noise, open up your aperture as much as possible and bring your ISO as low as possible. By default the a6400 has the maximum ISO set to like a hundred thousand or something crazy like that. Try limiting the ISO in the settings to 12800.
This was my first camera and I love it still. I recently bought a used A7R ii and I like it as well. My Voigtlander lenses work well on both with different results but the a6400 is a better quick travel choice. I use the EVF 100% of the time and the 6400 is easy to learn to make all adjustments in M mode while looking through the EVF. And it is a great camera with manual lenses. The focus and 2x zoom work great by programming a button.
Thanks mang, Im starting an architecture degree this fall and have been confused on what camera would work best for me. Your vid was a huge help - thank you for showing work done of the camera from various sources!!
Ive owned this camera for about 6 months with the plan to go full frame eventually. I have a few lenses and i don't regret my purchase of this camera. I love the thing. I bring it every where and the photos it can take are fantastic.
I'm not a camera expert at all, but am looking for a new camera. And I wondered how much putting on a different lens can change this particular camera...apparently the A6400 is a crop frame, but can a different lens make it a full frame? Also in regards to stabilization, certain lenses can change this. I was going to get the Sony Alpha a6400 Mirrorless Vlogger Camera with 18-135mm OSS Lens Kit, and apparently the 18-135mm lens has some stabilization, while the smaller lens, the 16-50mm does not. Can getting a different lens (bigger and more expensive) change either the stabilization, and/or the crop frame (making it full frame)?
@@pickacardreading you cannot make a camera full frame just by changeing a lens, a cameras sensor is either ff or aspc no in between. What you can do is get a speed booster which will eliminate most of the crop you get from a aspc sensor.
just bought this camera in the end of November 2022, with which I traveled to Namibia, Indonesia and Timor-Leste. I had a6000 which I purchased while I was in college but already sold, so it's a nice upgrade. The lens I have are 18-105mm, 11mm, and 35mm.
Excellent tutorial. Keep up the good work. I still have and use my first A6400 since 2020. I went out and bought a second one for back up. Although I also own a A7ii & A7iii but prefer my A6400s for travel cause of its compact size and variety of good quality APS-C G lens. I also have full frame lenses, but carrying them on trips are pretty cumbersome. Being from Hawaii I need to travel as light as possible. I also use them (A6400) in the surf as I also purchased a water housing from Salty Surf Housings in Australia. The A6400 is well worth it.. I guess I will start hash tagging you... LOL. Thanks
We use this camera with a 50mm prime as a second angle for corporate interviews. The image is amazing. The only caveat is that face priority AF does not work in 4K.
I have been using this camera with a 70-200 f2.8 as my main body for 2 years to shoot professional basketball, and an a6000 as my backup/"short lens" (tampon 28-75 f2.8). This little camera is definitely a beast! She's a feisty little warrior I must say. My a6400 will now become my backup next week when I get my a7iv. The a6400 has bought food to my table for awhile an I love it!
Are you shooting in low light? I've been thinking upgrading my a6000 to a6400, and getting 70-200 f2.8 later when I get the budget. But I'm still curious about its high iso noise reduction since most of the court here are indoor and have "bad" lighting. (I'm a basketball photographer as well)
I’m glad I saw your comment I just bought the 6400 and looking for lens for a basketball internship I have needed to see the lenses that fit your comment is on time
i just started pushing myself into getting serious with Photography and videophraphy . the sony a6400 is somthing i was recommended. would love to see you do a tutorial on what you use and how you use your editing programs as i feel thats my biggest love hate relationship atm. woukd much appreciate it!
I love my a 6100 and it’s just like the 6400 the 4k is downscaled from 6k it’s amazing camera and it’s worth it!! Autofocus is amazing everything is amazing
I just bought one for $600 on eBay. It's in really good shape with a rig cage and screen protector. It has 16K on the shutter but I'm not concerned about that because it's rated for 200K. I'm planning to use it as mainly a photography camera but also for video. I currently have a Sony NEX-EA50 professional video camera which can do up to 1080p60, but it's large and I want something small I can use with a cheap overhead camera mount. Thankfully, it uses the same APS-C E-mount lenses so I can use the 18-200mm zoom lens on my new a6400, since I bought only the camera body. I had an a6000 but I sold it because it had no 3.5mm input.
I sold my a6500 & got a grey import a6400 for less than I sold my 6500 , Ive used it ever since as my b-camera to my a7riii .... Its been a great camera & I still love it in 2024
I freakin love this camera.. I have mine for about 4 months now. But I will sell this close to the end of this year, I'll be making the switch to Full Frame to the Sony A7sIII. Biggest thing to me is the Video Dynamic Range, 4k60 4k120 & 16 bit with the Ninja Atomos V..
@@CurtisPadley Thanks man! I'm waiting for the A7S IV.. depends if how different it is to the A7S III I'll pull the trigger. 😁 Rumors are that it's gonna release close to the end of this year 😃
Still a solid camera! Hopefully though, sony will release some new asp-c camera's. I would have liked this camera to have ibis and 4k 60fps and maybe a bit more mp.
For me this is the best Camera, but i struggle so hard between the ZVE10 vs the A6400.. because of the flip and tilt screen xD but the 6400 is Weather sealed.. hum.. idk which to get /: I think Weather Sealed is more importend then the flip screen, or ?
Man, I’m so stoked for this camera. I’m currently on the m43 setup with a Lumix G85, but I’m looking to jump up one format and the a6400 has had my eye for a few months now. Hoping to pull the trigger on it soon and start creating on this beauty!
You can do more with this camera then a Leica q q2 q3 and yet have the ability to use multiple lenses where as leica thinks you have to use a 28mm and punch in cropping down to garbage sizes. Plus it is lighter then the Leica as well.
I love my a6400, I shoot in almost complete darkness sometimes at an improv dance class I teach and the low to no light handles on this camera are insane. Great great camera!
I currently shoot video and take photos on my phone (iPhone 13 Pro), do you think an A6400 will be worth getting as my first real camera? I was debating between this one, or breaking the bank and going for either an a7iii or an a7iv. My ideas were either A6400 and Sony FE 16-35 F2.8 or either one of the A7s with a Sigma 24-70 F2.8.
Just an opinion, you might want to try to get a used A6400 to see if you like having a camera to shoot your videos and photos with. You might also want to get used APSC lenses to start with. You can sell them later if you decide not to have a camera or even upgrading to a newer model or to a full frame camera. Best to do after you get a camera is to use it everyday. Have fun!
Im one step away of getting the A6400, but this week I heard some rumors about sony refreshing the A6XXX series with new cameras, so I think I will wait at least til Q2 2023, great video!
I am looking to purchase my first photography camera. It seems like mirrorless is the way to go from what I’ve read. This camera looks absolutely perfect, what are your thoughts on a $500 used A6300?
I don't recommend to buy your first as a used, because you will always feel like there is something missing, just try to save more and buy any budget new camera, this is my total personal opinion, maybe it's not applicable to you.
I live my a6400 I use it as a b cam I didn't realize how important stabilization would be I never wanted to do video but I have a7iv now for photography and try to use it with my feiyutech g6max but it's not as stable as I want I also take it to family trips it's amazing also my hands are huge I cannot use it without the small rig
how much would you pay for used one? I'm now in my 5th year using my a6000. It starting to have small issues and I always loved the feel of the better body of the a6300/6400. Used ones go for 700 bucks here which is almost the same price as new back then lol.
Hi Curtis. Question, I’ve been trying to use sunny sixteen with the Sony a6400 as if it was a film camera, limiting my ISO to 100-400 but it’s constantly under exposing as if it requires high ISO like above 1200-1600 but then pictures are grainy. I’ve had this same issue with three lenses, sigma 16mm, Sony 35 1.8, and Sony 24mm 2.8. Any idea?
HELP, I'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR 3 MONTHS!!! I come from a Canon M200, but I absolutely wanted to change and I would like to buy a camera that can above all take beautiful landscape photos and excellent videos in 4k at least 30fps with a budget of 800 / 900... could this one be good? and if it goes well, what lens do you recommend for landscape? ...or do you recommend a Canon RP with RF 14-35 f.4 lens?
Thank you for this awesome and detailed review! I'm just planning to buy a camera, but I'm still hesitating. I don't know which one would be the best for landscape, travel and street photography A6400 or maybe A6000, X-S10, XT30 M2 ? Which one would you recommend in terms of image quality and low light performance and focus accuracy for the above mentioned styles/modes and battery life last but not least? Thank you so much for your answers and help guys! 😀✌️
Listen, I know you don't want to hear this, but it really doesn't matter. All those cameras are excellent and it will only depend on you on how the photos turn out. A6000 is so cheap, you could start with that to see how you like it. Fujifilm have their own kinda vibe. I feel like they are technically inferior to the Sonys, but I'd enjoy them for what they are.
@DDHDTV thank you so much for your answer. In the meantime I've already enjoying the life with an Alpha 6100 because I couldn't find a new Alpha 6000 body 😃 so far so good, I'm loving this machine so much with a Sigma 18-50mm f2.8 lens.😊
I want to buy in 2023 but my only main concern is after sale repair service of this camera since it was released in 2019 .... I don't know if inside parts of this camera is available if camera gets damaged coz it was released in 2019
im new to cameras and am thinking about getting a a6400 but i dont know what els to get.in terms of lenses and such,if anyone could help that would be brilliant
Thoughts on 6400 vs 6600? Looking my first hybrid camera to do beginner photography and videography (only thing drawing me to 6600 is IBIS) but wonder if I should just buy 6400 (cheaper) and learn from it
Hi mate, I’m looking at one of these to buy… for when I go on walks up snowdon, Lake District etc.. would I be good for capturing photos of the mountains and scenery?
