5 Years On: Why I Still Use the Sony a6400
HTML-код

- I bought the Sony a6400 when it first came out in 2019. Then I bought several more for multi-cam product videos. Now I'm sharing my thoughts and experience of the a6400 as a content creator studio cam in 2024.

One thing I forgot to call out in my use is LONG form content. Specifically sessions that are 30+ min, like podcasts and product tutorials. I often record 1 hour long sessions and edit those down to 20 minute videos, and the a6400 has always performed great in these cases (recording direct to SD cards)
Also if I didn't specifically call out a feature and/or issue with the a6400, it's most likely because it wasn't relevant to my situation/experience.
Thanks for watching!
Hi Tefty i'm here just to thank you for all those Destiny 1 videos that helped me walk through the hardest stuff with the easiest explanations, i still have fond memories of waiting for those videos and the difference they had on my gameplay.

Just starting to dip my toe into this hobby - I have a line on one of these (used, less than 1,000 shots) with a Sony E 18-135mm lens for under $900. Worth it in 2024 for someone who's budget is under $1,000 and won't be doing too too much video?
Yeah that's a decent deal. Both of them used would be about 900 together. It'd be a good all around starter kit. For photography the viewfinder is a bit rough on the a6400, but to start out you should be fine.
Do you know if the 6400 can handle heavier lenses still with it's lighter frame? I have a Tamron 35-150 that is 2.5 lbs and is pretty front heavy and I am worried that it will be too much for the 6400 to handle on a tripod.
So I don't know for sure, but I'd imagine sony designed the mounts within certain limits for compatibility (weight ranges included). Typically any lens that can't support a mount comes with a tripod collar for that very reason. But to be clear, I don't know for sure.
I've attached a heavier 100mm macro lens to the a6400 for video and had no issues with it.
Can you drop a link for the gear youu use to have the camera as a topdown(downward) angle?
Yup, it was a Panasonic S5 with kit lens (20-60mm) going HDMI out into the BlackMagic Assist recorder at 5.9k. I do this because of the extra resolution for punch ins and the ability to record longer than the 30 minute limit on the S5 mk1 in 4k mode. Also I can see the screen at eye level and not have to look up to see if things are in focus.

Personally I'd recommend an S5iiX if you're thinking about going that direction.
4k 30p is choppy why i find 4k 60p much better or run and gun family filming or is there anything i can do to make it better
I'd say that's probably because the shutter is left in auto mode so you're getting 1/100 and shorter shutter speeds. This makes each frame super sharp and crispy (also makes it easier to film in sunlight). If you're filming in 30 or 24, you need to lock the shutter at either 1/60 or 1/50 to get natural looking motion blur.
In my video all the shutter speeds are at 1/50 and filming in 24p. Even the a6400 tests.
If you try 30p again and lock your shutter to 1/60, you'll need your ISO and Aperture to be 'auto', and for daylight shots you MIGHT still need an ND filter to properly expose. Could be a deal breaker for run and gun.
60p is nice for real life though.
I have 6300…use it as an actual camera regularly. I think it’s a fine little thing
Love and miss you Tefty #taintscratcher
