I've own the a6000 since it first came out, and started to do professional film and photography works with it four years ago. Then upgraded to the ZV-E10 and now looking forward to own the FX-30. I still love the a6000 for its form factor and amazing capabilities, at the time it was simply a beast and it's great to see that it can produce amazing results even in today's standards. Thank you for your awesome videos!
I love that you still make videos with the a6000, now in 2022 it’s still the most popular beginner camera for photography, so it’s good to see someone make the best out of it. I recently got mine and I love it, some other features would be nice to haves but I’ve been able to get great results already Thanks!
@@JasonMorrisphotocinema hi Jason would you recommend the A6000 still I’m just into photography not video, I currently own a Nikon D800 with a few cheap lens but it’s way too heavy to be taking everywhere. My main concern was the full frame difference but you seem to have made that almost irrelevant! How is the autofocus in real life terms ? Does it compare to a DSLR at all ? Thanks
I got the A6300 and questioning now if I should upgrade to full-frame... ;) Your video showed me once again that the person/skill behind the camera is more important than the camera itself (well, lens choice is also a factor of course)!
Great video! I’ve always said that it’s not the camera, but the skills of the person behind it that makes the magic! Nowadays everyone is obsessed with gear and camera specs, but in the end you can get amazing results if you know what you are doing. Instead of researching so much about gear, most people should spend their time instead in honing their skills about composition, lighting, exposure triangle, editing, and learning how to use all the settings on their camera. Also, having quality glass tends to be more important than the camera body.
Dude, Jason... that was awesome. That was harder than I thought it was going to be! I just got my A7IV today, can't wait to start playing with it. Thanks again for a great video!
Proof that hobbyists are wasting their money on incremental improvements. People really ought to stick with their hardware for longer than they think, maybe till it dies (in some cases). The main reason to drop the a6000 is the poor autofocus subject detection. Otherwise, it is a great camera.
My eyes preferred the colors in all but one set on B, so I assumed it was the IV. I was wrong. Maybe I'm just used to looking at photos from my camera(a6000), so my eyes liked it. There's a really good deal at my local camera store this weekend on the aIII & aIV, so i came trying to tell if its worth it right now, I've never done a gig, and the 7V should be out soon. Though i may be better off waiting until/if I'm making money.
Had to pixel peep a bit in the first set of photos, but it's quite clear that Camera A is the a7IV. In the very first set if you notice the right hand corner of all the close ups, there's a lot of artifacting and colour noise in the Camera B (a6000) shots, which isn't there at all in the Camera A shots. In the second set of photos, the depth of field was a giveaway as to what was what. Third set it was easily the skin tones and noise performance difference that made it evident. All in all, amazing video as always... Thank you for the great content. Currently filming with the a6400 (primarily videos), been thinking of upgrading to the FX-30 instead of the a7IV cause of the price difference.
@@stephaned3072 No definitely not. Just that the a7siii is at least twice the price of the FX30, at least here in India. So quite a bit out of my budget.
Appreciate the video. These comparisons show me that while I could see the A was better than B, but if I hadn't seen them side by side, I'd be happy with most of the B results.
Hello Jason, I am planning to buy a new camera but got stuck between two cameras i.e. A7 M4 and A7R 5, so it's a request to kindly make that comparison video asap...(Waiting for your response)
Great video Jason, on your recommendation I purchased Viltrox 33mm 1.4 for my sony A6000, and its an amazing lens. Apart from low light video performance of a6000, I have no other major complaints. Will most likely upgrade to FX30 as I have invested too much in APSC lenses already. I hope you make more video on FX30.
Man, I got an A6000 with kit lens for $155usd and is a monster of camera for that price. I love old Sonys, I have a Nex 5T, an A3000 and A3500, that were dirt cheap, like 90usd each with kit lens and a shoulder bag. I think now, 2022, for a cheap camera old Sonys are the best alternative.
That video on A7RV vs A6000 will be interesting. There definitely will be a difference. But I think that video should highlight WHERE the difference is and to whom it matters. Great content!
Before watching the video I was very confident of identification of both cameras because believed 10 times more/less money costing camera should be easily distinguishable, but I'm failed all the way 😭
CAN I ASK WHAT LENS? Hello Jason, I have the 7iv and now fx30 but I am in a dilema of getting the 20G 1.8 or 24GM 1.4 I do not own a prime yet I sold my sigma 16 witch I regret. BUt. The 24gm. It becomes with active and lens comp around 43mm, Do you think I should get the 20, that is acgually a equivalent of 36mm I use lots of 50fps.
unfortunately for me, I could immidiatly tell, which one was full frame. I think the sharpness and clarity ist easily perceivable. I'm still rocking an a6000 and I'm trying to convince myself, that it is all I need. Also already invested into APSC lenses, but damn FF looks good. I don't even need that shallower DOF, I only want that low light performance. Or I just recognized the look of the a6000 since I've been using that for 8 years
Hey Jason, how were you able to shoot outdoors with they softbox light? I assume there were no outlets to plug your light into nearby. I am trying to figure out what key light to buy right now that is good for photo and video, but all lights I see need to be powered by an outlet and therefore, make them not very portable.
I bought a Sony A7IV Cinematic LUT that shoots tagline 3 about color correction unlike yours. can you make a tutorial clip for that color correction? Thank you!
place it into the creative tab then increase saturation and vibrance and drop the shadows and highlights. It is a creative LUT that needs tweaking depending on how you have exposed the image
I bought used A6300 as my first real camera at the beginning of 2021 and made dream come true by buying A7IV this month. I don't make money from photos or movies (at least not yet), it's one of my few hobbies. I did not really liked how it handled ISO above 800. Especially that I like making photos of birds and I crop often. It quickly lost detail and colors and contrast, picture were becoming bluish.However, it could still do for "normal" photos, like photographing people. However, even at YT you can see, that ISO 6400 is very, very grainy. At low ISO it's hard to notice the difference at YT video, especially if photos are not placed side by side (maybe we could have that in the future videos?). Can't wait for video comparison, I suspect that AF and lack of image stabilization will be a huge factor, so it would be nice if we could see it also in conditions where you eliminate both of them.
@@JasonMorrisphotocinema A lot of comments across all channels are from people wanting an APS-C upgrade from the A6600, Sony seem only interested in pro cameras or the vlogging generation.
I own neither camera, but I use the A7III, which I love enough that I recently got another, just to make my work a bit more efficient. I didn't compare the images, partly because I need cataract surgery, but also because I think image quality is largely oversold. Also, maybe I was too distracted by Joanna. LOL. For me, camera choice is less about image quality, and more about the other things a camera also has to do. I also think lenses, lighting, and processing has a much bigger effect on image quality than the bodies themselves.
Interestingly, I find low light capabilities of my 6500 really really subpar. The noise at ISO 6400 makes the photos unusable unless you don’t need to crop at all (or maybe just a tiny bit). And this is kinda important, because people would watch that video and see no diff, while in real life they won’t be able to get decent photos without a flash and flash is not that people want at a party, it annoys people, makes taking photos very obtrusive. An interesting topic, but the video hasn’t covered much of it. While not pixel pip? Why not compare jpegs? Etc etc etc
Is there anyway you can show A7iv VS Zv-e10 I wanna pick one up for my B cam and just for talking heads I wanna see what the quality could look like with a decent grade most people don’t compare video footage
I started my photography career 1.5 years ago with the Sony a6000... The great thing is that the amount of money you have to invest to get into photography is so low compared with the high-end gear, and the results are comparable. There are some quality of life advantages from getting the newest gear... But money usually is the most important factor. I've done photography and video for sport events, clubs, portraits... And I only invested less than 2k, the body being the cheapest part almost.
Good comparison video! I love my a6400 but I've always been annoyed by its lack of IBIS when shooting in low light, and most of my lenses don't have OSS either. Therefore I'm still waiting for a new higher-end stabilized APS-C photo / video cam, hopefully Q1 next year. Please, Sony! a6600 doesn't cut it and FX30 is too cinema-oriented for my use case (and no EVF!). Keep up the good work, Jason.
I guessed right but that’s because I have both. There’s a certain look at the full frame gives you. That said, without the comparison the average person probably would never know the difference between the two in real world photos.
A decent sensor and reasonable glass are the essential components, the rest is largely software. Who gives a toss about Instagram, it's for snappers. Liked for the model (only).
Hi guys, you can check my youtube channel.. there are all the videos I made using a Sony a6000 camera with a Sigma 30mm F1.4 lens and a Meike 35mm F1.7
As a wedding photographer dealing with lots of low light scenarios, specially churches where the priest doesn't let you use external lighting, it's just you, your camera and God kkkk the a7IV isn't that good. I honestly think the a7iii does a better job. I've both and was expecting a lot more from the a7IV.
Were all photos unedited, straight from camera? The old A6000 did a top job to get so close to the new camera, I found it hard to pick the difference, yes, guessed wrong, haa haa, great vid Jason, as always.
The colour is not great.. there is different colour on the model body in different places on the same picture. Also the one light isn't enough made the pictures have low dinamic range. And the position of the model was little bit old. But i love your content 🙂
I'd definitely rather see the A7RV compared to either the A7IV and/or A7RIV. Otherwise it's just going to be more of the same of "yup, the A6000 is still super nice but the newer camera is better"
My eyes preferred the colors in all but one set on B, so I assumed it was the IV. I was wrong. Maybe I'm just used to looking at photos from my camera, so my eyes liked it.
