Sony a6400 Hands-on Review

- It has a tilty-flippy screen that flips slap bang into a hot-shoe-mounted mic but there's more to the a6400 than just a 'vlogging' camera.

Cha Siu-Licious! Cheers, Lok.
Kai can i get a heart? Ill like this video with both my accounts ;)
@@KaiManWong gotcha boss ima like from 2 of my accounts
@@KaiManWong made it 1.2k now ;))
Add a little thick M3 tape between the screen and the mic, this will probably dampen the sound.
Lacist..
just wanna say that you are a breath of fresh air in the camera review world... no bullshit, no fancy commercial shots and genuinely honest.... thank you for this and stay the same please
If anyone still had doubts that Kai is the Jeremy Clarkson of photography, go to 7:19, my word
only cabbage noobs still make this comparison, Jesus, welcome to 7 years ago!
Yeah Kai is his own guy. Honest, funny, engaging and easy to understand, and is just himself. On that Bombshell, we have to go!
Agreed. I was about to say he is literally an Asian Jeremy Clarkson. Lol. The speech pattern is uncanny!
Some say...
He’s been trying for that title for years now. His timing, pauses, and punch line set ups are almost exact.
I envy your brutal honesty!
so many US youtubers are just scare to say, this is just not a good vlogging camera without inbody OIS
If there is one camera review place that I come for unbiased and genuine review, it’s this channel of yours Kai 👍🏼
Man, this SOB has guided so much of my journey through photography it's almost unfair. Keep up the banter, it's what keeps us level baby. Rockin' that a6400 now and naturally I feel a strong vibe to start a vlog. Wild.
Hilarious. Informative. Honest. Entertaining. Spontaneous. Critical. Flattering. One of the best reviews I’ve seen. Congrats!
Does that mean someone had fell into the river before, with that stepping step thing collapsed?
Hello Kai!
Are you kai?
I don’t need a new camera, don’t really care about vlogging gear, but I like Kai
Dude, you are so fun and engaging to watch and listen to while being properly informative in a precise and yet such laid back manner.
NO RECORD TIME LIMIT - YESSSSSS
I seriously don't understand why record limit is such a big deal. Who even has to record video for 30 min continuously? I don't understand people making it look like a deal-breaker
@@VMKAROUND365 well, say you are a small company wanting to film a whole press event which is longer then 30 Minutes, that would be one scenario. The question is, if the batteries hold out that long. Then again, you can allways power it via a bigger battery pack.
@@VMKAROUND365 EXACTLY!
@@VMKAROUND365 I need to record longer than 30 min. because I'm doing sit down interviews (with noone behind the camera). I have a Sony a7Rii, but I can't use it for my video purpose with the recording limit and no tilt up screen so I can see, if I am in frame (most important when vlogging - not for the interviews...).
That will be much help for Boke Bros. Kai had no problem filming Boke Bros with his GH5, but I always need to set a 28mins timer just so that we could finish off what we were talking and let me restart my recording on my a7SII, before it stop at 30mins
Kai W görüşlerine değer verdiğimiz ve yakından takip ettiğimiz bir abimizdir.
7:38 Are you Lok? lmao
are you lok. got me laughing so much hahaha.
Kai?? Kai who??? Ha ha ha ha!!!!
You must be kidding!
That part had me laughing so hard lmfao
and a great response "no, im the other one" wkwkwkw
I'm not sure if I'm more entertained by the camera or Lok. The guy cracks me up.
This is the best blend of dry humour and educational content for cameras. I’m subscribed!
The mic slapping you in the face is so funny. You are combining humor and facts so damn well!
I don't like the fact that when this came out so many people value the camera after it's vlogging capabilities. That's just wrong. Thanks for sharing more than other on this camera.
For a person new to photography most videos just are so negative and basically tell you that you need IBIS and a flip screen, I bet it's really misleading to amateurs.
Also I had to pause at 8:58 and wipe something up real quick.
Cheers. Hope you didn't make too much of a mess
@@KaiManWong well...I can't ensure
Kai really pumping out that content. You know people really underestimate the flippy screen, really glad to see it on the 6400
that cage info really helps out!
no reviewer ever have that idea!
THANKS!
You see, auto focus on GH5 is absolutely perfect... It solved problem of focus hunting by focusing strictly on the background.
😂😂
Is it really so hard to point it at your face in manual focus and hit the af button on screen??
@@JoeMaranophotography are you asking genuinely? Or is it some kind of suggestion?
@@xmlthegreat Suggestion. I use the G80 like this :)
@@JoeMaranophotography I haven't owned a Panasonic camera ever, so I don't know whether this would work well, but usually yeah, it should just work that way.
Hey kai, the reason they've not limited vid length is because the EU recently scrapped a tax on video cameras, the definition for which was ability to shoot for over 30 minutes
FINALLY.
That's amazing news
Someone needs to tell Fuji and Canon
maybe it's brexit
FAT32 has a max file size of 4 gigabytes so older cameras are naturally crippled by that as well. Some cameras jump on to the next file without any issues but most loose some footage in between or completely stop recording. 4gig is something like 13-15 minutes @4k30p
Yes it's definitely not an overheating issue with all cameras because I can use my Olympus EM5 Mk1 for an entire evening recording live music, so long as I restart the video recording every 30 minutes.
The biggest thing the a6400 has going for it is the price. It's super impressing that a sub $1,000 camera is being reviewed against the GH5 (a $2,000+ camera). If you've already bought into the Sony lineup, the a6400 is a great b cam. And if you're a beginner wanting to get a great camera for not much, this will beat almost anything canon, Nikon, or Panasonic can throw at it. $900 is really good.
I've been using an a6000 since it came out and I love it. I was looking for a reason to upgrade to another a6xxx but neither the a6300 nor a6500 felt right. This one just might. And I 'd get to keep using my awesome 18-105 power zoom too. Thank you Sony !
"A camera is more than just seeing your face on the screen" - yes sir!
watching those people crowds in 2021 just hits different
Awesome review, Kai! The cage is a brilliant idea.
Kai W caught out in the wild. A rare sight indeed!
1:46 if this camera stuff doesn't pan out, the bright side is you likely have a promising career acting in infomericals
As Lok's stunt double apparently.
YES! I've been waiting for this video! thanks Kai
You should be a stand-up comedian. Great eloquence. The best part is at the end, while crossing the river. I almost thought, he is going to actually fall to demonstrate that A6400 is weather-sealed. LOL!
I just bought this camera I'm so happy and love it.
I think the missing stepping stone is a metaphor for choosing camera equipment! You get out in the middle of the practice of photography, and you take pause...then you have to take a chance to keep going. And in the end you get bogged down (the mud...) but you have to keep going. The A6400 seems like a good choice for those of us using something like the A6000, which lacks the quick and sticky AF. If you have lenses with OSS then you can excuse the lack of IBIS. But I am just an amateur...without deep pockets! And the cage idea is brilliant!
The reason why alot of sony cameras are limited to 30 mins recording times is because there was a tax on video cameras that could be avoided by limiting the recording time, but I dont think this exists anymore which is why you can record for longer with this camera, however if you have an a6000, 63, or 65, then you can install 3rd party apps to thoes cameras that allow you to disable the record limit, unless your recordings are cut off anyways because of overheating
Another video with wit, style, information & fun!😀👍
It's a true talent to inform potential consumers and make them laugh at the same time.
Trigering Sony (or any other brand) fan boys is a bonus.
But man, did you sneeze right on the lens? I mean 05:10
we don't agree on anything, but you are my favorite photography channel keep it up !
Kai: EFFIN nature
*Slips
The fastest nature's revenge I've ever seen.
I'm about to buy an a6400 and just discovered you even though I've heard fellow film geeks mention you before. Dude, you're HILARIOUS!
That's hysterical that the focus on your face was instantly perfect as soon as you stopped using the GH5.
This video should of mentioned the “GH5 comparison” - exactly my situation thanks Kai! Thinking of keeping the GH5 for video and getting an a6400 for photos..
a6400 video looks better after grading and nice LUT forms..
@@andrewfreeman88 Same for a6300 or any apsc camera from sony besides a6000
Another a6400 review. Thanks
Kai, you're the first I've seen to mention using the cage. I'm going to pick up both now as soon as I can! Thank you.
I recently purchased the a6400, I love it. Love it so much I made a video about my first week with it. Great review, Jeremy. lol
Love the review! Just as a note as i’m not sure if people are aware or not, Sony deliberately did not include in-body stabilisation so that vloggers could use a gimbal (or product similar) without having to turn it off so that the camera isn’t fighting with the stabilisation that the gimbal provides! Obviously this doesn’t suit everyone’s needs but that is the reason that it was left out☺️
I feel like there are other reasons but ok. Don't their lenses have stabilization though?
4God17 The camera was designed and marketed for “vloggers” to use so that is the reason for leaving it out as most do use a gimbal or something similar! Their lenses do mostly but only 2 axis I believe whereas the A6500 for example has 5 axis stabilisation so covers all grounds of possible camera shake which is similar to what a gimbal would offer, if that makes any sense. (Please feel free to correct me if i’m wrong about the 2 axis in the lenses as i’m not 100% sure on it but I believe that is what it is).
Great idea on the cage Kai. I usually always get a cage, I have one sitting on my shelf right now for the a6500, but I could always get screw and adapt it to the bottom of the mic to mount it on the right side.
0:25 and magically, your face is in focus instead of the trees!
I finally found Loks personal channel. Weirdly its named Kai
Great review Lok! Kai would have fallen in the water...
Thank you for the thorough review Kai!
Thank you finally, someone, out there who thinks the cage is the best I have been saying from launch day just use a cage every time someone complains about there mic or using some weird contraption. Great video.
I was searching for info on the a6400 and was quite happy to see a Kai W video near the top of my search results. Great review. I think the a6400 will do what I want it to do but the image stabilization is definitely lacking for walking type video.
Kai dancing to test the autofocus is my new favorite thing
I think it's my new favourite thing, too.
You are a brave man crossing that river with all your gear!
Or stupid.
Dang, I've been watching your videos since I got into photography. Surprised you're not in the millions already tbh. appreciate your review👊
Kai love your Videos and Reviews so glad to see you back in my feed Always enjoy Deb 😉👍✌
The review that I’ve been waiting for!!! 💕💕💕
Kai stepping up the swag tho🔥🙌🏽😂
Great review, love how you started with actual footage. Makes it so much more valuable than just listing specs :) Would love to test this camera out in Amsterdam!
Saw your first video , it forced me to subscribe your channel. amazing work
Panasonic needs to give you an S1 and/or S1R for review!!
Kai... respect you.
Btw thank you for introducing me to Birocratic all those videos ago. I really love the tracks you use from them.
Man you're hilarious. Great personality to your videos, keep it up
Asian guy with British accent!!. That is awesome.
Your voice always astonishes me
Since you are very credible and have actually used both cameras, what’s your honest opinion between Sony A6400 and the Fugi xt30? Both in photo and video.... oh and btw great review and channel!
This maybe 3 years old. But it still entertain ;)
anyone else noticed that the first 25 seconds of the video shot on GH5, Kai's face is slightly out of focus (autofocus gremlin)? then bang, switch to a6400 - pin sharp!
Quick face/eye AF is important for me though I don't do vlogs or selfie. But it's battery-consuming, yes very much so. Yet Sony Alpha still remains one of my favourites. 🐥🐥❤️
Awesome video dude. not only very informative but also a blast to watch.
I could listen to your voice all day
love the review, you always take us to interesting places. and that rig a good idea that everyone should take about
This guy looks like the host of digital rev
I salute your river fording skills Lok!
miss the days Kai+Lok+Alamby were on the Tube
Kai, you disseminated some good information and had me cracking up doing it. Good post.
Solution: try using a Feel World 5.5 in. monitor on my a6500. along with the Smart Rig cage and Sony shot gun microphone. The Feel world monitor can be reversed, image flipped for a use as a vlogging rig. Works great , but need a Ronin gimbal for walking shoots. All this equipment adds a lot of weight for a camera, that was designed to be smaller and lighter than a DSLR.
3:46.... damn that’s exactly why I want one
LOL.....you are a true comedian. Love your video, plus you helped me decide about the A6400.
So cool and really pro reviews u make!
Thank you for this honest review of the flaws on this camera!
Awesome, a blogging actually using the device with the reviewing
Your latest videos are much better. I prefer sarcasm to comedy and it seems you have a bit more of an edge to your reviews. Keep it up!
Finally a A6400 vid that isn't a press launch demo (okay Sara Deitchy might have beaten you to that)
"A camera is more than just seeing your face on the screen"
1000% true!!
Gotta love London when going around with new camera.
You are interesting fun, great sense of humor and very knowledgeable.
This camera does a little bit of everything. I love the flip screen because it allows me to get photos from a different perspective, but do miss not having IBIS.
This is really solid camera! There is no better option for video at that price at this moment! Not having IBIS suck a bit but if you have stabilised lenses or shoot wide angle you are good. I wish Sony never put that flip out screen because it makes camera really wide and it is very tricky to hold it or look at it if you do selfies or vlog!
Great video as always, Lok
I can hear some Birocratic in there!! Excellent!
Ahh, your point of view on this one is very refreshing! Sony has been hitting the “influencer” world hard with this one, and it’s tough to separate fact from fiction. That flip screen design really is just terrible though.
I like it, hate twist and turn screens, it's a good compromise for photographers and the much smaller percentage of vloggers. easily fixed with a smallrig cage or $10 bracket.
Good review Kai...”Energizer bunny” though.
Only Sony could design something like that. The brilliant minds at Sony.
That would be the Energiser Bunny, not Duracell . Great Revue. Thanks Helping make a decision.
I’m here for the redwings performance review
Hey Kai! Big fan! I live here in Mexico City and do street photography videos!
But I'll visit London in the summer and I would be so excited to film some street photography together!
- I have a couple of ideas that I think you'll appreciate :)
I use my A6400 in tandem with the A6500 as a two camera still photography setup most often with a different focal length prime lens on each camera. No sweat on lack of IBIS with the A6400 because I have IBIS in the A6500.
I am a great fan of vintage lenses for the remarkably creative renditions that these old lenses offer. However, on most of my model shoots, I have promised images to the models, most often for their portfolios. Here's where 2-cameras really shine. I can use a vintage lens (like the Helios 58mm f/2.0) on one camera to get creative effects and a modern lens, like the Sony 85mm f/1.8 or Sony 50mm f/1.8 OSS, on the second camera. That way I will be sure to get a combination of creative and technically excellent images...
I was taking a drink when he said " Duracell Bunny" 4:15 and just about lost it out my nose lol HAHAHAHA
Hahaha... " the sun is burnning my eyeballs!" "Are you LOK?" That's why i love watching your vlog.
TWO DAYS IN A ROW??!?!?! YES PLEASE DAD
