Today I’m going to tell you about the Sony A6400 and help you decide whether it’s a good value. I think it’s one of the best Sony cameras on the market as far as features and value. I will discuss the A6400 sensor, processor, and autofocus for both photography and video. I’ll show you #sonya6400 tons of photo samples, and we’ll talk about dynamic range and low light performance (night shooting)
We’ll see how this new flip screen was implemented by Sony, and whether it was a good choice.
I will also include A6400 4K footage and several example of slow motion shot at 1080P 120 fps.
I’ll talk about other features like interval shooting, discuss the ergonomics of the #sony #a6400 as well as the battery life, viewfinder and some things that frustrated me about this camera.

Totally off topic but had to share it. So as I was watching this video on a bigger screen, my wife walked in and thought you were Ross from Friends! XD
LOL! I get that all the time. Was the review ok?
So true😄😄😄😄😄😄.
Another one 😂
"The one with the camera review"?
Omg I know right I came to the comments to see if anyone said that
Have been thinking about getting the a6400 and stumbled upon this video. The quality of this review is amazing! It’s so refreshing to see someone looking at this from a photography standpoint - the majority of videos I’ve seen have been from youtubers looking at this solely for vloggers. Thank you so much for making this!
Glad it was helpful and thank you for being part of the channel.
Thank you so much for this in-depth Review, I was trying to find a suitable cam for my overhead drawing videos and I think this one is the best among all. It has all the features I need, like flip screen, HDMI out, Microphone jack, charging while recording and most importantly NO 30min limit for videos which is AWESOME!!!
The lack of 30 minute recording limit is so big for artists! You can always record externally, but it's nice to be able to do that in-camera.
I'm super glad the video was helpful and appreciate your kind words and support!
Yeah this is the one I'm looking at too for my art
sorry to be offtopic but does any of you know of a trick to get back into an Instagram account..?
I was dumb forgot my password. I would appreciate any help you can give me!
@Seth Reese instablaster :)
@Chaim Wilder thanks so much for your reply. I found the site on google and Im trying it out now.
Takes a while so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
5:25 love the smile on his face while shutter was firing. so camera can put smile on ones face. priceless :)
That's true joy right there :)
I’m glad I got recommended this video. I ordered an a6400 Sunday as my first camera and reviews have all been wonderful, but this is by far one of the best in depth reviews I’ve ever seen for any product. Kudos, sir!
CONGRATS on the new camera!!! I'm so glad the review was helpful and thank you for joining the channel!
Hello, after two years of using it, do you still recommend it?
@@_H1h1 I actually had to cancel the order for financial reasons at the time and haven’t made the purchase, sorry

UPDATE: I have seen reports about the a6400 rates for both 360 and 410 shots depending on your settings.
What's up everyone?! I hope this review of the Sony A6400 was helpful. Did you like it? I wasn’t sure I was going to like this camera but it’s a great value. The image quality is excellent, I love the no recording limit, and the autofocus is fantastic. As usual, I love the slow motion and appreciate this first attempt at a forward-facing screen (I wish there was an articulating screen).
Was there too much detail? Not enough? What did you like, and also, what did you not like? What would you like to see more of? Would love to know what you think, good or bad. I am grateful in advance 🙏
✌️
Thanks!
@@TechGearTalk most Wlcm ✌️ Brother 😃

Thanks the great review. Subbed. And I'm so glad you've found a rewarding career after your excellent work on Friends.
I do this whenever Rachel and I are on a break 😂
Appreciate you joining the community and the kind words!
Hahaha!!!!
😆
it's been almost a year since i got my a6400 and I still remember it was a day before I saw your video before getting the camera. Today, this video came in my recommendation and such a deja vu it is. So glad to find this out, Subbed 🙌🏼❤️
Glad you got and like the a6400. Thanks for being part of the channel!
No one I know does review like you do man! Your reviews are super detailed! This is my best review channel now!
Oh wow... thank you so much 🙏 I super appreciate the kind words and support.
I love these videos man. Even after a year later it still offers so much clarity and significance! Keep doing it. We appreciate it :D
what I love is u reply to each and every question in the comments.... love u bro... may god bless u
Thank you so much for the kind words and support 🙏 I do my best to reply whenever I can - super grateful for my community!
i just bought it and it is my first camera i am getting!
i am so ready to start hiking taking pics with my friends and trolling around with some videos :)
thanks for making a specific settings videos i think for newbys like me this stuff is so hard
to self taught so i am greatful for your work !
The best A6400 video I have seen on youtube! Subbed and liked! and I am going to buy the A6400 camera because of your hard work. Sony should look after you! Thanks
Oh wow, thank you so much. I’m glad it was helpful and appreciate your kinds words and support 🙏🏻
Spent the last 1 month losing my mind over what to buy, from go pro, dji pocket to watching thousands of videos about the m50, Panasonic and then the Sony a6000, 6 1000 and 6400 almost bought the A6100 because i couldn't afford the a6400 but just got this deal for a6400 for 700 with the kitlens and I've gotta say i watched 10 different videos from your chanel prior to this and this was so incredibly informative and awkwardly so relaxing to watch 😭💀 i didn't realise i watched a 33 minute video, god bless, i love your content and the videos, absolutely amazing.
definitely watching the tutorials regarding A64 after i get my camera tomorrow 🙏
Would be very broke for a few months but satisfied regardless.
First, let me just say this is the BEST review on this camera on RUclips. period. I'm sold.
Question: I need to use for streaming and doing interviews. can i buy an adaptor that will allow me to plug into a wall? (not big on batteries)
Oh wow, thank you so much. I'm glad you liked the review. Look for something like this: bhpho.to/2lxAqaE I hope this helps.
Thank you for the support!
So nice how you reply to every comments. Watching this a year after and will be buying Sony a6400 🥳 Thanks for this guide!
Also there are extremely powerful image upscaling tools out there that could easily allow you to increase the resolution of the images taken from the camera if you need to print out something extremely large like a large bill board for example! Also the extremely detailed photos also contain enough data to make the upscaled images look extremely sharp without any noticeable defects! :)
True
I bought my A6400 camera a few months ago.... and man, do I love it. Got a cheap manual lens for it, and it's been wild. This camera is Nuts.
Great video; ton of information. Thanks for putting in the work!
Thanks so much for the feedback, glad it was helpful.
Best Sony for the money. Impossible to go wrong with this purchase. Keep up the good work
I agree that it’s a great value. Thanks for the feedback and support.
I am so impressed with the amount of research and information you put into this video. All of the little details that other reviewers may have missed are here. Thank you!
I'm so grateful that you took the time to watch and to share this great feedback 🙏

@@TechGearTalk I wasn't expecting you to reply 😭🙏 you are the real MVP here for replying to every comment
I appreciate this amazing community
Thank you for your detailed video on a6400. Last Sunday visited the SONY showroom for sony a6100, which was not in stock, the salesman showed this one for around $1150. After watching your video I will go for this. Once again thanks a lot.
The 6400 make me want to sell my D5300. Awesome and highly informative video bro!
Thanks Jeff! Appreciate you taking the time to watch this video (it got long on me). Sony packed a ton into this little guy for sure.
Man, exact situation, thinking about buyin used 6000 for 220 $, just for trying out system.
I sold my Canon80D and bought the a6400. Not one regret.
Been there, done that.
Literally same, owner of a D5200.
It's a great upgrade.

Like many others, I loved this review so much I went directly out and bought it. Thank you so much for the in depth review. Plan on watching your settings suggestion now that I have it in front of me.

photo quality is good and it is subjective.
I totally get that (plus it’s waterproof 😉)
I have shot over 10,000 images so far. Yeah I practically sleep with my cameras. I enjoy using it. For what I need, excellent. This review sold me on making the purchase.
Just subscribed to this youtube channel! I love the review. Direct to the point and very helpful. Keep it up.
I'm so glad the video was helpful Randy! Appreciate the support!
Very useful. I intend to buy one and I will follow your videos to learn more about it. Thank you!
Awesome video. Your presentation skills are damn good. I ordered the a6400 with the 18x135mm lens earlier today from B&H. I subscribed to your channel and will be watching your tutorial videos starting later this week once my camera arrives.
Thank you Michael. Congrats on the new camera and welcome to the community! What will you use it for mostly?
Really loved your video with me sitting on the fence to decide on A6400. Your bloopers show that you are a perfectionist which also helps with you creating quality images and videos. Thanks
I'm glad the video was helpful! Let me know if you have any questions!

Is a6000 good?
@@automation_remarks The a6000 is a great camera for the price. Look for deals; there should be plenty around now that it's been discontinued.
@@fenraven does a6000 had any problems with overheating? I am looking for the camera to do live streaming
@@automation_remarks I didn't use it for video, so you might want to research that further.
Thank you for this excellent review! I am looking for something not too complicated and easy to carry around. I bought a full DSLR years ago, which is way too heavy for me to lug around. After a series of point and shoot cameras I figured I really need to compromise and get something a bit heavier for more options. My current camera is a Canon G9X - which fits into my pocket but is just too limited for my purposes. I have to spend way too much time in photoshop in order to get the photos I like. Plus. My iPhone takes better photos than my camera. It looks like the Sony A 6400 might be the one for me!
same here, my first camera is a dslr but i just do photo for myself when i travel, id like something smaller and this looks perfect to my needs.
I rarely comment on videos, but I have to say your review is really good, informative,educational and thorough. I've never owned a camera before and I'm strongly considering this as a start as I also want to take videos as well as photos.
Appreciate you taking the time to watch and to leave feedback 🙏
I think this camera is a fantastic option for photography and video. Here is another option at the same price: ruclips.net/video/nVLe9FPUV7s/видео.html
Just bought this yesterday and the 16 mm f/1.4 lens by Sigma, haven't even used it yet, going to watch all these videos first..😜
Sweet pickup - CONGRATS!!!
@@TechGearTalk Thanks. I'll definitely be checking out the rest of your videos on the a6400 😁👍🏻
You bet. Here is also an a7iii video about setup that you can apply to the a6400: ruclips.net/video/K_iz3d9Qth8/видео.html
This is definitely my favorite a6400 video. It is so much clear right now why I'm willing to buy this one. Thanks!!!
You’re very welcome Adriano. Super glad the video was helpful. Thanks for joining the community.
Wow very nice camera and another awesome tutorial two thumbs up
Thanks for the 👍👍
I had a lot of fun shooting with this camera. Hopefully it showed.
I am lookin to purchase either the A7iii or the A6400 and would love your recommendation on which camera will last me longer and be the most functional and useful considering the things I am doing... I'm an artist/social media content creator(influencer) Typical things I would use the camera for are;
- youtube cover videos/ vlog style (recording audio separate) similar to your video
- lifestyle photos (self shooting on timer and others photographing)
- definitely slo mo friendly for music video / lifestyle footage (occasional videography from dancers)
- I'm a little new to camera terminology and function but quick learner
- have used my friend's A7iii before
THANKS!
Hi Mariah - ok, let's break it down. First, I would only buy full frame if I really needed it because of the additional upfront cost of the body and the ongoing cost of the lens system. If I were you, I would get an a6400 with a kit lens (unless you already know what other lenses would work for you. Normally I recommend a kit lens because of: ruclips.net/video/z-x-d-K9Jfw/видео.html ).
The a6400 also has unlimited recording which will work great for long-form content. It's smaller, lighter and more portable for when you're on the go. (I own both the a7iii and the a6400, so I don't want you to think I'm saying the a7iii is not a good camera. I'm just trying to focus on what would work best for you).
Both will do slow motion great. Hope that makes sense. If you have more questions, DM me on IG so I can talk to the phone instead of type. Thanks for being part of the channel!
@@TechGearTalk Thanks for getting! Ill hit you up on IG if I have any more questions!
👍🏻
I was actually surprised about the performance of the Sony A6400. I use it beside my Sony A9 on the Sony 100-400mm 4.5-5.6 for some Wildlife in case I need the extra reach. It is better IMO than using a Teleconverter. So far so good, the IQ is good enough in this case. And the Autofocus is super good. Well done, Sony.
I completely agree with you. The images are fantastic, and I prefer the APS-C sensor to a teleconverter as well for extra reach.
I was not expecting to like it this much because of the price, but I think it's an absurd value.
Hi! Thank you for your great and fair reviews. I wanted to let you know this helped inform my decision to go with the A6400. I have lots to get used to, coming from a Canon, but I love it so far!
I think this video sold me on getting this over the Cannon M50!
Glad it was helpful. Here is my comparison video if you’re interested ruclips.net/video/68CCV_WDIkk/видео.html
After, watching your video I ordered one as well really helpful video.. thank you 😊
Before I bought my 6400 I agonized over the lack of IBIS. However when I grab a camera it's always the 6400 over the 6500. I've had zero problems with the lack of IBIS even though 3 of my six lenses are not stabilized.
The focus system, especially the EyeAf and tracking are so good.
I'm right there with you John. It's not something I've ever really had (with the exception of briefly using the a6500 and now using the a7iii) and it's not something I rely on.
The ibis definitely made me second guess my purchase but the camera is solid
Can you make a video on different lenses we can use on this camera and what they’re used for with actual photos for comparison? Also, a walkthrough of the camera and its features for newbies would be great. Your videos are so thorough. I plan to purchase one of these.
pretty much lenses do both video and photography well. you do have specialised lenses like constant aperture which are better for video but the differences were talking hear are small
14:15 - another question... if AF tracking doesn't work at 120fps on the a6400, does it work on the A7iii? Thanks
No, af tracking does not work on the a7iii either. I'll let you know about the clear image zoom tomorrow.
I’m considering an upgrade from my a6000 to the a6400. Not a video user so much, but appreciate your detailed exam and evaluation of its capabilities. And, by the way, the David Schwimmer thing: you also bear an uncanny resemblance to one of two brothers who produce tv commercials for their Cleveland furniture chain. You sound like him, too. Scary.
I wish I could afford this camera or the canon m50, it would really improve my youtube video quality.
I loved this video and I have subscribed already.
I'm glad you loved the video and thank you for being pat of the community!
Outstanding review! I used your link to buy the camera, that's how impressed I am!
Didn’t know Ross has become camera vloger after friends

😂😂😂 i knew it wasnt just me who saw that
Thank you for this review. Always such quality work here. Would definitely love to see videos about sony a6100/a6400/a6600 settings for autofocus and night photography tutorial
which Kit lens is better 16-50mm? or the 18-135mm kit lens?? going to use it for photography and unboxing videos
Both are 3.5 to 5.6, so I would get the 18-135, it's bigger but it's a lot more versatile.
Depends on if you value the extra 2mm of width or the extra 85mm of telephoto.
I agree with @nathan Carrille that the 18-135mm is more versatile - but it depends on whether you’ll actually use that focal length. What will you photograph?
In places like mountains you will cry for 16mm (or even more) So having the 16-50, I mean a good one!!! is IMHO essential. It can be bought on eBay for very cheap. But you have to be lucky to get a good sharp one...
I tend to value wide angle more than zoom as well, but that all depends on what you shoot.
Thank you for this in-depth review of the A6400. It has helped me make a decision about my next purchase which is going to be this very product. Thumbs up!
Ok, so I’ve been searching for this info literally everywhere and I’m glad that you mentioned it - you said that the a6400 can be powered while in use? Does that mean that I can use a micro-USB cable to power the camera while recording? I just ordered an a6400 along with a DC coupler because I was hard pressed when it came to finding this info, but I just want to ensure that I can film for an unlimited time on the camera without a DC coupler and using a micro-USB cable? Thanks so much for the video, and apologies for the questions :)
Hi. Yes, I was able to record using the micro-usb cable. Again, it powered the camera but did not seem to charge the battery if I was recording. Hope that helps.
Yes the 6400 can be powered during use with a micro-USB cable.
Yup
So if I am understanding this right. I do not need a dummy battery, I can just plug in with micro cable. Will this over heat the camera? Just ordered camera and a dummy battery, but if I don't need it will reurn it.
great review . i have the lumix g85 and mostly do photography , thinking of upgrading to sony a6400.
Hi !I have a Sony a6400 with a Sony 16-50mm lense and a sigma 16mm fixed lense . They are both in great condition literally like new they looks fresh out the box I also have the accessories and the boxes they came in . I can sell you the body for 750 ! Lmk if you’d also be interested in the lenses. I can send you videos as well. Lmk!
Thank You . But I already purchased a Used A6600 with 18-135 lens for $1350 . Great Camera.
First review I’ve seen that mentions there’s no included battery charger thanks for letting us know!
But it does include a micro-usb connector and you can just plug it into any phone chargers lying around in your house to charge.
This actually makes sense because you only have 1 battery out of the box and there's no point in removing it from the camera to charge when you can just charge it directly via usb.
You would only need to remove your battery to charge when you have multiple batteries, hence also the reason why the battery charging docks sold in the market normally have 2 slots and not 1. You'd rarely find third-party battery chargers with only 1 slot.
Great video. I have this camera and am happy with it. With a Tamron 17-70 attached, it gets incredibly sharp pictures.
Just stumbled on your channel. Excellent review and your production values are too notch. I really like your images as well. I'm a blue hour shooter as well. I'm a Canon 6D shooter looking for better AF and tracking. Subscribed. 👍
Appreciate you watching and taking the time to leave feedback 🙏🏻
I really enjoyed shooting with the a6400. I prefer the Canon menu system, but that’s just a matter of learning curve. I was impressed by this camera. Thanks for the support!
Outstanding in-depth review mate! I've been pondering on both the A6400 and A6500 and you've pretty much hit it on the head. I think I'll wait a little longer as we may be expecting some announcements this week from Sony! Thanks!
Glad this review was useful Will! I'm excited to hear/see what Sony has coming next!
@@TechGearTalk Surely it's gotta be the A6700 that will combine both A64/6500 into one body. Only time will tell!
There is no doubt the next camera will have IBIS and maybe a larger buffer. However, I expect it to be $400-$600 more.
Great. I just made my decision. Thank you.
CONGRATS!!! Glad the video was helpful! What will you use it for?
@@TechGearTalk Just picked it up yesterday. Mostly to wake up my creativity again. I want to use it both for stills and for video, in my city and also while travelling. At the moment I am a little bit overwhelmed with the video settings, but I think that takes some time :-)
makes sense. As far as settings, do you mean the basics? I have a few videos that I think might help. This one is about another camera but will give you the basics for getting a cinematic look: ruclips.net/video/RDs-Zzb0pmE/видео.html and here is what I did with the a7iii: ruclips.net/video/K_iz3d9Qth8/видео.html let me know if you have any questions
Thank you 🙏🏻 I am planning to buy second hand camera your review really help me to make a decision
I am planning on buying the Sony 6400 for astrophotography. Do you think it would do good?
Yes, it will work well with a fast, wide angle lens.
Yes, I understand that the Sony a6400 SERIES cameras are better than Micro Four Thirds. I did some milky way panos with a Micro Four Thirds, and the Sony is suppose to be better for Image Quality (so they say). Thus, this new exciting camera should be the ideal camera for astro if you have the right techniques. With the right prime lens any low light situation for video or milky way is very possible.
I suggest you buy a real Astro camera with a sensor cooling technology like ASI 1600 MC. In summertime to be able to cool -45C the camera sensor is a big benefit and much less noise on your astrophotos.
Bought and loving this in 2021 🥳🥳🥳
the menu itself isn't bad or confusing, the lack of touchscreen function in menu makes it a bit tedious
A touchscreen would definitely be helpful.
Tech Gear Talk I agree with the video - nothing is logically laid out. Settings should flow. If you’re setting a camera up for video it should start with format and data rate. It should flow to picture profile. Then focus settings - manual or auto or some combination of auto. Steadyshot or not? Then exposure. ISO, shutter and aperture. Then white balance (you want to be properly exposed for white balance). Finally audio levels. Whether you format the media card needs to be separate so you don’t go into autopilot and format the wrong card but it shouldn’t be buried on page 3 of the suitcase menu. I haven’t used the A73 much for stills. The review is correct in that once you have the camera set up it’s less of a problem - although I still find annoying things. Like turn on proxy recording in 4K and you lose focus peaking and zebras. Super annoying. Not because it’s a processor limitation (which it is) but because nothing tells you what’s wrong. You have to discover that for yourself. I think BMD has the best menu system.
Appreciate the input @MondoTV - I've had a lot of similar thoughts.
after a week of camera reviews I finally bought the 6400 :) looking forward to more videos
Shame you never mentioned the wonderful Sigma DC NG lenses.
I’ll do a whole lens video
I’m really looking into this as a beginner I do mostly my kids sports and video and photography and family trips.
Hey! We're looking to upgrade our current vlogging DSLR (Nikon D5300) to a better mirrorless, is there anything else at this price point or maybe a little more expensive that you could recommend for us? Thanks in advance 🥰
Hi there you two.
I think the a6400 is a fantastic value. If you want a touch screen, then the M6II.
The a6400 is super impressive and has great slow motion and no record time limit. Here is a comparison of the two: ruclips.net/video/0UKL-Frb_fM/видео.html I hope that helps. You can DM me on IG if you have any follow up questions.
@@TechGearTalk thanks for the fast response! I'll contact you on IG and hopefully you can help us decide 😅
You're welcome. I'll keep an eye out.
Just the info I was looking for. Very concise informative video. Really helps with purchase decision.
I really appreciate you taking the time to watch and for the kind words. Thank you for joining the community 🙏
This video was exactly what I was looking for! I purchased the Canon M50 over the SL3 based on another video. I was thinking about returning/swapping it for this a6400 model, but based on this, I’ll stay put. The only reason for the hesitation was low light. It’s something I really want, for sure. Trying to make sense of features and take a decent photo has been intimidating, to say the least! Haha The trade off for ease of use(being a newb), I’m probably better off staying course with the M50. I GREATLY appreciate the info! Keep it up!
Hi Bryan, I think you're making a good move. Focus on getting better lenses for low light performance and then mastering exposure. Watch this: ruclips.net/video/q2hs8BOTXb4/видео.html Thanks for being part of the channel!
Ayy a fellow Clevelander! Love the channel, I'm currently figuring out what camera is going to replace my old T6i. Keep up the great work!
What's up! Always happy to see another CLE creator! I love my a6400 - it's definitely a good option. Let me know if you have any questions.
I am also upgrading from my Canon T6i! What did you decided for? I am between the a6400 and the Fuji XT30 but I’m afraid I will drop it in the water because it’s so compact!
@@cecem.9921 I actually went for the GH5 because sensor size was my smallest concern. The dual stabilization, V-Log, variable frame rate, and compact lens system made it great for travel / nature cinematography. You won't regret choosing either the XT-30 or A6400 though. I've tried out both and they're great
I bought this a few weeks ago just because of the pre-order of the new FE 200-600 OSS....>,^
That lens is 🔥🔥🔥
Awesome review! I am thinking of picking up the a6400 along with the 18-105 f4 as my first camera setup. I feel like this will give me the opportunity to grow as it is pretty versatile and includes great quality.
No further questions. This was one complete presentation. Thank you.
Glad to hear that Martti. You're very welcome and thank you for being part of the channel.
Incredible work! I'm really impressed with the level of detail and amount of information you provide in this review. Subscribed!
Such as wonderful help which is I couldn’t find to another RUclips your best sir and I really appreciate your efforts and we will expect you to crate best lens options for Sony A400 good luck 👍🏻
I'm definitely working on a lens guide for it. I put some in the description as well for now.
Tech Gear Talk thanks im looking Lens for video only and good on low lights normal traveling videos 😊
Check out the Sigma 18-35 in the description. It's my favorite lens right now.
Tech Gear Talk great I’ll check sir thank you
You're very welcome. Good luck and let me know if you have any other questions.
I really like your relaxed way of reviewing. Thanks and cheers from Holland.
Thank you for the feedback Marco 🙏 Glad you liked it.
Great content creation brother. I'm close to pulling the trigger on the a6400. Is the a6600 worth the added expense? I'm a video content creator first and foremost
Thanks again! It's worth it if you'll do a lot of handheld content, or you want real time eye tracking for video. For most people, I would say save the $ and get the a6400. Hope this is helpful and thanks for supporting the channel!
@@TechGearTalk Very helpful. Preciate it
👊🏻
You truly deserve more subscribers and views. Quality content.
I appreciate the kind words and support. As long as I earned yours, that's enough.
THANK YOU SOOO MUCH FOR DOING A LENS SEGMENT!!! I really think the 16-50mm kit lens will be enough, and with how pricey the camera is itself. I just turned 12 anyway so I'm just a beginner.
Thanks alot for this.. your content always help me on deciding which tech to buy.. You deserve more subscriber! Keep creating
Appreciate you watching and your support! I will definitely keep creating!
Incredible knowledge! been toying with the idea of a decent camera, I am a complete novice watched the video subscribed to you and purchased the camera thanks pal 😎 10/10
So glad the video was helpful Kenny! Appreciate the kind words and you supporting the channel 🙏
Great presentation. Look forward to your in-depth tutorials.
Watched till the end, love it
Thank you for watching and for the kind words.
p.s your review was so in-depth and detailed i have to tip my hat to you sir. You speak very eloquently and you tell us what we need to know. I salute you sir.
I super appreciate you taking the time to leave feedback. Thanks for the support 🙏🏻
@@TechGearTalk you're more than welcome. It's all so helpful. I just feel that it could cost so so much buying firstly a camera, then lenses on top of that.
It can be quite costly. You could also start with a kit lens and go from there: ruclips.net/video/z-x-d-K9Jfw/видео.html
Or go with something less expensive ruclips.net/video/kmy4Oq3YbMU/видео.html
Super fabulous and throughly helpful. ! Thank you.
Great video! Please tell me A6400 or M6 Mark ii for vlogging? Thankyou
