A very informative video and helps me a lot in choosing between A7iii and A6000. I di fair bit of travelling, so I choose A6400 because of weight and size. Also I have my A6000 since 2014 and bought some APSC lens so I think I'll stick with the APSC format.
If you compare the price of today, which camera would you choose if you can get the Sony A7iii for about 1300-1500 bucks, while the price of the A6400 is about 900-1000 bucks. I want to do more video stuff like product videos and handheld b-roll stuff. Thanks for any reply :)
ONE OF THE BEST VIDEO ABOUT 2 POPULAR SONY CAMERAS. thank you so much, your explanation and guidence are great with no spite and attention to detailes like lagging of motion picture in external monitor.
Nice comparison! I have the a6400 and am thinking of getting the a7siii. Do you think the a6400 is worth keeping for the 24mp pictures or should I just use the a7siii for pics with the 12 mp??? How do you think the quality would compare?
I was using the a5100 with kit lens and Sigma 16mm f1.4 and also a yongnuo 50mm f1.8 with andoer adapter (super slow and inaccurate auto focus). I was contemplating to buy the a7iii and use the current lens in apsc crop mode. Later, i changed my mind and bought the a6400 + sony sel 35mm f1.8 + sigma 56mm f1.4 which cost me 200usd less than an a7iii body only. And any adapted lens auto focus works great with the a6400.
Bought the a5100 for my wife a few months ago thinking she could use my 24-240 lens on it since she likes super zooms and the flip screen was perfect for taking selfies while we're on vacation. But that 24-240 felt like it was going to break the mount on that camera. So I was looking for a smaller lens and decided on the 18-135mm sony lens. Well that lens is $600! Yada yada yada..."my wife" has a new a6400 with the 18-135mm. Just picked it up last night but it's well worth the price just in body construction alone. And with the animal eye autofocus, my little Teddy is going to have some killer pics without being focused in on his wet lil nose.
Thank you so much for watching the video and taking the time to share your story/experience! Sounds like you landed on a perfect fit! What kind of dog is Teddy?
I'm new to photography and am looking to mainly get into shooting food and landscape (on hikes). Between these two I think the a6400 is definitely more my speed. Is it worth considering other options? I've been drawn to Sony mainly because of their mounting system which I've heard is used across all their cameras. That just seems like the future proof option if I choose to upgrade to a full frame in the future. Are there any other cameras you think could beat the a6400 at a similar price point for my use cases?
I have A6400 for music videos, is it worth upgrading to the A7iii? Trying to see if there are any alternatives to the A7Siii, so expensive. Thanks for any responses.
You're very welcome. Menu system will be the same, as far as customizing the buttons you'll have extra functions on the a7iii. Here's how I set up the a7iii: ruclips.net/video/K_iz3d9Qth8/видео.html if you're interested.
hey I have a budget of 1500 therefor I can choose a7iii with kit lence or a6400 with a lance so plzz tell what should I get. A7iii with kit lance or A6400 with a lance and I need camera for portraits and landscape photography
Hi. Check out the description of this video for links: ruclips.net/video/K_iz3d9Qth8/видео.html let me know if you still have questions. Hope this is helpful.
I just threw down for an a7iii as an upgrade from my 6300. It was either that or a nikon z6 but I decided on sony because I could keep using my sigma lenses. Anyhow I'm up at 2am regretting the money I've spent while I wait for shipping and this video gave me a little comfort 👌 thanks dude
What a review n comparison. Never seen such a detailed 23:37 comparison before. Can guess the amount of work u did in studying these cameras . Have subscribed the channel n wish to see ur videos of interest
Thanks for this video! Getting ready to invest in a new camera for my channel, and have been overwhelmed with all the choices. I’ve narrowed it down to either getting the A7c, or the a6400. It seems that although the 6400 doesn’t have a full frame sensor, it’s still good enough to shoot amazing quality video (and at a significantly lower price)..
If you have the glass priced in for full frame, I’d get the A7c. The main thing is the glass. Your full frame sony emount lenses cost MUCH more than APS-C lenses (a6400). You get one yet and if so what do you think? I’m a sony full frame shooter. Best of luck .
The only issue with the adapted 18-35mm is that you'll probably need to use off-camera mic (which I always do) because the autofocus makes noise. If you're getting E mount lenses, you should be able to use a shotgun mic on the camera.
Thinking about buying a 6400 as a secondary. I’ve got an aps-c lens from a prior camera that I don’t use anymore. I think it would be nice to have it set up for wide angles while my full frame has the good glass
Wonderful review sir, really love your video🎥. Please, what is the measurable advantage degree of low light💡 of a7iii over a6400? Thanks 🙏 in anxious to hear you sir.
Thank you my friend. I have not run any types of tests that would be meaningful. I would just tell you that using the right lens and when necessary, adding a little light, will make more of a difference than ANY sensor advantage. Hope that helps!
Good question. Unless I had a specific reason to shoot full frame (and a lot of money) I would go with the a6600. Here's my review: ruclips.net/video/_WKmCpUBnT4/видео.html Let me know if you have other questions Yehoash
Thank you my friend 🙏 It honestly brings me so much joy to hear that you are happy with your purchase. I'm glad I could be of some help throughout the process. 👊
Hey Tech Gear Talk, its November 2019 now and I was wondering if you know of a camera better than the A7iii? I don't care about pictures, only videos. I would like to record sport games and also shoot indoor stuff like playing the piano and the like. Thanks!
Hi. "Better" is always a touchy word for me. Sure, there are a lot of cameras that are better than the a7iii, but are they better for you? First, let's look at it this way - are you set on using a full frame camera? Just to understand, why not use the a6400 and then spend the 1100 on lenses?
@@TechGearTalk The thing is, I don't understand the technicalities of cameras and recording. I would just want a good camera that records video really well for sport stuff and still-stuff like recording myself playing the piano (preferably out-of-the-box). Also, I wouldn't be taking any pictures with it so that's another factor. Also, $2,000 is my budget.
If your budget is 2K then the a7iii is out of the question because you'll need to spend more money on lens/es and accessories. The a6400 is a good option (look at sigma lenses). If you want a camera that is easier to use, here is another option: ruclips.net/video/3Dh2cqok6_o/видео.html
My favorite cameras channel, NO damn JOKES here!!!!! other youtubers are damn annoying with a lot "jokes" every minute! This channels goes seriously to the point, no waste of time here. Thanks.
I’ve gotten to use my friends A7iii, & it’s amazing. But for my budget I’m prob gonna go with the a6400. I shoot a lot of video, & I do portraits. I can’t justify buying the a6600 for 1400 dollars if I can get an a7iii for 200 dollars more
@@TechGearTalk yes a7iii is overwhelming because 30 min limit. I do interview based documentaries, i need camera a n b from different angles. I will use them for multiple cinematic purposes also for short movies, clips. I have met 1 person he did the same. That is a good idea. I was thinking about canon xc15 but 6400 is better option 2 sony will be good combination.
thank you so much for this video ! you mentioned all I wanted to know about these 2 devices ;-) I already own an A7 III and I wanted a B cam to shoot with. The a6400 seems to be the best choice for this purpose !
Never seen such an informative video before n it has been created ‘Dil se’ ( means done by heart) . I already ow nikon d 7500 with different lenses. Would like to add on either a 7 iii . Well thoroughly enjoyed the video man.
I take a6400 because Im amateur and still learn photography so with the a6400 cheaper than a7iii you can buy some speedlite or studio lightning for support photography skill.
Hi this is surya Just now subscribed to your channel by seeing that you gave replys to everyone that is a very good point which i liked about you that shows your concern for the people who are subscribing watching and liking your videos.....
Thanks for your very interesting videos. There are always very useful. I would like to address quite a specific question I am having a hard time finding an answer to online. I was getting quite excited about buying the a7iii but I have been really sad to discover that it is not possible to tap-focus using the application. As a matter of fact I suffer muscular dystrophy and, as I can't hold the camera in my hands, I completely need to be able to focus remotely. Even if it does not work as good as I would like to, I can focus and shoot with my Canon 760D using the app. That is sad because it really seems to be a minor issue compared to what the camera as to offer but it is definitely crucial to me. On the other hand, it seems that tap focusing using the app is possible (it might have something to do with the touchscreen options of this camera). Could you tell me more about that as I have seen that you have been playing around with the app a bit? I also heard about the Bluetooth remote control that seems to work quite well with the a7iii. Would that be an option? I guess it would be a bit tricky to manage focus modes in order to succeed to produce the image I want (I often like to put the on-focus object/subject on the sides of my pictures). Even if my main concern is image quality and the ability to shoot outstanding portraits this little difference could make me change my mind and decide for the A6400 over the a7iii . Thanks in advance for your help pal! (Of course, anyone having information to give about that specific issue is more than welcome to contribute!)
Hi there Johann. This is a major pain point for me as well. I have simply not found any way to do that with a Sony camera. I just reviewed the Canon M6 Mark II and the 90D. I've also reviewed the EOS R. They all have that functionality. Honestly, I would get one of those and enjoy the user experience.
Thank you so much for this video it was really helpful. I would wish to have the money to buy the sony a6400 so i could record again youtube videos and i could shoot portraits and other photos :D
Hi I'm just getting started trying to figure out which camera is what I need? I plan to do photo shoots of models, product images, and I plan to do nature photography how well do you compare both of these cameras using telephoto lens for nature shots and video?
Good review. One option I’m considering is the a6400 and Sony 70-350 combo (can’t afford full frame zooms). Will the lens OSS (not interested or needing IBIS for video) control image shake when using super telephoto enough to take a sharp photo without sending shutter rates and ISO numbers into serious noise country with the a6400 ? Or would I be better off with Sony a7 iii and grow over time with lens as I go ? Thanks. I considered the RX 10 IV also but noise with the 1 inch sensor seems to limit photos to internet image quality only . 👍😊
⭐️ Best price for Sony A7iii Camera (updated): geni.us/sony-a7iii (affiliate) ⭐️ Best price for the Sony a6400 camera: geni.us/sony-a6400body (affiliate) NOTE (forgot to mention): The a7iii has dual SD cards which give you the ability to have an instant backup, or split your footage into 2 cards. One of the card slots is rated to support UHS-II memory cards. 15:09 I misspoke, it's 0.02 seconds.(good catch by @Stan KMT) What's up everyone?! I hope this comparison of the Sony a7iii and the a6400 sample footage and images is helpful. Did you like it? These are two of my favorite Sony mirrorless cameras for both photography and video. Let me know what you think!! Would love to know what you think, good or bad. I am grateful in advance 🙏
Hey, Amazing Content! I just needed a quick suggestion. I'm going to start filmmaking in a really short while and I'm not able to decide better value between a6100 and a6400. Would you suggest me a pick? Plus, if you have anymore suggestions for me from any other brand, please let me know. I'm just starting off in the field. Thank You!
Oh, the a7III paired with some great glasses. 90mm 2.8 macro, 24-70mm 2.8, 85mm 1.8 and the new 135mm 1.8... that would be a dream. The truth is I can't afford them all now :(
Great review! I have the A6100 and RX100. I have my sights on the A7iii someday when the price is a lot lower. This review was very helpful. Thank you!
i’m a beginner im really trying to get into automobile photography and videoing im stuck in between the A6400 and A7III what do u think would be the best option for what im looking to do thank you.
Great video. Curious on your opinion on which camera to use in real estate photography? Also wondering on your opinon on a camera to use for real estate generally?
Great video. Unfortunatley I still don't know which one to buy. I like the flip up screen on the a6400 but I prefer the sensor in the a7 iii. I definately want 4k and these are two of my top options along with the Fuji XT-3 and the Nikon Z6. I think I've definatley eliminated the Nikon for having only one XQD card. It 's a really hard choice, all of these cameras look fantastic. Have you tried the hack on the a7 iii to have a flip up screen? (I mean the piece you can print using a 3D printer).
Those are all good choices for sure. Tell me more about the Z6 XQD card issue - I haven't looked at that camera yet. I have not tried the 3D print flip up piece... but I will tell you the X-T3 is probably my favorite mirrorless camera right now (other than the controls).
@@TechGearTalk thanks for your reply! The issue with the Nikon Z6 is that it only has one card slot and this is an XQD card. According to most experts this type of card is going to get obsolete. CFexpress and SD UHS-III will be the new standards (and also faster than XQD). On top of this XQD are hard to find and very expensive. So. even though I own 2 Nikon lenses I believe the Sony a6400, Sony A7 III and XT-3 are better options. IMO a7 III > XT-3 > a6400 in terms of image quality. From all the reviews I've seen a6400 > a7 III > XT-3 in terms of user experience (how much does the user need to fiddle with the cameras). Then the XT-3 has more video options including 4K 60f. I'm mostly going to use the camera indoors with a tripod and I use an external sound recorder. However, I was thinking of doing some vlogging every now and then. I know for this the a6400 would be ideal, but for the indoor scenario probably the other options are better. For a better image and better bokeh the a7 III is better. And then you have the XT-3 with all its options...It is a hard call for me.
It's a hard call and an easy call at the same time. The hard part is that you have 3 good options, but the easy part is that you have 3 good options 😂 I would prioritize what you're going to do most of the time. If you think you want the image quality/shallow depth of field of the a7iii, and most of the time you're on a tripod, I would prioritize that over the "some vlogging every now and then" What do you think?
@@TechGearTalk thank you very much for your help. I agree 100% with you. I'm actually going to print that mirror piece and try it on a A7 III camera. If it works, then that will be my new camera! :)
All your reviews are wonderful . It is reported that a new Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 6K is soon going to be launched. I am eagerly waiting for the launch and your review.
Hello. I'm not a video guy and so my camera is for photo stills only. I'm an amateur who likes to take macro shoot and birding photography with a telephoto lens. I shoot in some manual modes but also in automatic mode. Would you recommend the A6400 and E Mount lenses? Or should I consider another camera? PS not willing to 2000 USD for a camera.
Great video, please do a more detailed quality comparison, about the two, please include same edited raw image from the two, thanks I enjoy all your videos, am a subscriber with notification turned on🙏
So glad the channel has been helpful and that you're loving your a7iii. I use Adobe Premiere Pro (I'm on a PC) and I really like it. Are you on a Mac or PC?
That's a tough question because "do it all" could mean different things to different people. Definitely a fast zoom though. Probably a 24-70 2.8 or something close.
I shoot downhill and enduro mountain bike races in the heavily wooded/tree covered woods of New England with a Canon 7d Mk II / 70-200 2.8 lens and a Canon 70d with the same lens and I find it very difficult to get super sharp images of the riders coming at me at speeds of 20-30+ mph. I'm dying to try the Sony A7 III but since the 7D and 70d are both crop sensors, maybe the new Sony A6600 would be a good choice as opposed to the A7 III. Do you have any idea if either camera would focus better than my Canon's? And would they focus better with my Canon lenses and the Sigma adapter? Or do I need to buy Sony glass (their 70-200 2.8 is something crazy like $2500)? Thanks!
Interesting question. So first FF would give you much less zoom the aps-c. So right now, with the 200 you’re getting a 350mm equivalent field of view. That’s something else to consider. What shutter speeds are your shooting at. Are the shots out of focus or are you getting motion blur? Also, for best results, you’ll want Sony lenses, or even sigma lenses for Sony - rather than an adapter.
@@TechGearTalk I try to shoot at 1/1000 or faster but need to use a pretty high ISO usually (in the woods) to do so. I don't know if I can post links here but here's an example: topshots.smugmug.com/2019/2019-Maxxis-ESC-Intense-DH-Round-8-at-Plattekill-NY/i-JXNG226/A (ISO 3200, f2.7, 115mm, 1/1600) I don't know if you can zoom in but it looks like crap. This shot is better: topshots.smugmug.com/2019/2019-Maxxis-ESC-Intense-DH-Round-8-at-Plattekill-NY/i-z69LvH5/A (same settings, both pics shot in the rain BTW). I have much better luck in brighter conditions like this picture: topshots.smugmug.com/2019/2019-Maxxis-ESC-Intense-DH-Round-7-Mountain-Creek-NJ/i-NVVtt5F/A (ISO 1000, 105 mm, f3.5, 1/2500). To me - I don't see motion blur (but not sure I'd recognize it), I'm assuming focus isn't good.

Looking for a Sony camera with a flip up screen that has built in stabilization but can’t seem to find one! 🤔 any ideas? Open to canon as well
Bought the a5100 for my wife a few months ago thinking she could use my 24-240 lens on it since she likes super zooms and the flip screen was perfect for taking selfies while we're on vacation. But that 24-240 felt like it was going to break the mount on that camera. So I was looking for a smaller lens and decided on the 18-135mm sony lens. Well that lens is $600! Yada yada yada..."my wife" has a new a6400 with the 18-135mm. Just picked it up last night but it's well worth the price just in body construction alone. And with the animal eye autofocus, my little Teddy is going to have some killer pics without being focused in on his wet lil nose.
Thank you so much for watching the video and taking the time to share your story/experience! Sounds like you landed on a perfect fit! What kind of dog is Teddy?
@@TechGearTalk Lol. He's a Maltipoo. Btw, I enjoyed your video. You got a new follower.
Awesome dog! Appreciate the support 🙏
Thanks for the video, to the point description and comparison, helped alot. :)
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for being part of the channel!
I'm new to photography and am looking to mainly get into shooting food and landscape (on hikes). Between these two I think the a6400 is definitely more my speed. Is it worth considering other options? I've been drawn to Sony mainly because of their mounting system which I've heard is used across all their cameras. That just seems like the future proof option if I choose to upgrade to a full frame in the future. Are there any other cameras you think could beat the a6400 at a similar price point for my use cases?
I have A6400 for music videos, is it worth upgrading to the A7iii? Trying to see if there are any alternatives to the A7Siii, so expensive. Thanks for any responses.
Well, since they both have the same menu system, I will set them up the same way. Thanks for the comparison and I am loving my a6400.
You're very welcome. Menu system will be the same, as far as customizing the buttons you'll have extra functions on the a7iii. Here's how I set up the a7iii: ruclips.net/video/K_iz3d9Qth8/видео.html if you're interested.
Awesome comparison bro it really helped me to decide which one to buy
So glad I could help. Thanks for being part of the channel.
Why didn't they add IBIS to A6400? Would have been a perfect camera for shooting video!
My guess is that they are saving this for the a6500 replacement that will come soon at a higher price.
And im still keep my a6300 for a6500 successor
The handheld is decently smooth with an OSS lens.
iPhonedo did a side-by-side with the a6500 and its IBIS hardly made a difference. IBIS is much better in m43 and Sony's full-frame cameras.
@Hong Kong HKer Ya, use the 2:1 rule for your shutter speed and there's no problem with stills sharpness.
hey I have a budget of 1500 therefor I can choose a7iii with kit lence or a6400 with a lance so plzz tell what should I get. A7iii with kit lance or A6400 with a lance and I need camera for portraits and landscape photography
4:17 link for both handles? I have the a64 with rig but I want those handles, thanks
Hi. Check out the description of this video for links: ruclips.net/video/K_iz3d9Qth8/видео.html let me know if you still have questions. Hope this is helpful.
Wow excellent explain
Glad it was helpful!
I just threw down for an a7iii as an upgrade from my 6300. It was either that or a nikon z6 but I decided on sony because I could keep using my sigma lenses.
Anyhow I'm up at 2am regretting the money I've spent while I wait for shipping and this video gave me a little comfort 👌 thanks dude
Glad I could help Alex and CONGRATS on the new camera!
What a review n comparison. Never seen such a detailed 23:37 comparison before. Can guess the amount of work u did in studying these cameras . Have subscribed the channel n wish to see ur videos of interest
So glad it was helpful. Thank you for the kind words!!
Thanks for this video! Getting ready to invest in a new camera for my channel, and have been overwhelmed with all the choices. I’ve narrowed it down to either getting the A7c, or the a6400. It seems that although the 6400 doesn’t have a full frame sensor, it’s still good enough to shoot amazing quality video (and at a significantly lower price)..
Totally agree ... I am following this ...
If you have the glass priced in for full frame, I’d get the A7c. The main thing is the glass. Your full frame sony emount lenses cost MUCH more than APS-C lenses (a6400). You get one yet and if so what do you think? I’m a sony full frame shooter. Best of luck .
Excellent review!! Thank you so much. I’m gonna go ahead and go with the a6400!!!📸
Glad it was helpful - appreciate the kind words.
a6400 here and satisfaction guaranteed :)
absolutely. It's a great camera!
Which lenses did you use for the Saxophonist and the House Of Blues at 1:14, 6:49, and 14:36?
Hi. Either the kit lens, or the sigma 18-35 with mc-11
@@TechGearTalk Thanks. I'm looking to purchase the a6400 and plan to record my Song Covers & Concerts with it
The only issue with the adapted 18-35mm is that you'll probably need to use off-camera mic (which I always do) because the autofocus makes noise. If you're getting E mount lenses, you should be able to use a shotgun mic on the camera.
This video was brilliant! Thank you! 🤓
Thank Miky - hope it was helpful.
Thinking about buying a 6400 as a secondary. I’ve got an aps-c lens from a prior camera that I don’t use anymore. I think it would be nice to have it set up for wide angles while my full frame has the good glass
Wonderful review sir, really love your video🎥.
Please, what is the measurable advantage degree of low light💡 of a7iii over a6400? Thanks 🙏 in anxious to hear you sir.
Thank you my friend. I have not run any types of tests that would be meaningful. I would just tell you that using the right lens and when necessary, adding a little light, will make more of a difference than ANY sensor advantage. Hope that helps!
Wow thank you man, because of you i bought my first camera wich is sony a6400, i couldnt be more happier
Oh wow - I’m so excited for you!!! So glad you got a camera that you love!!!
2:55. Actually Sony haven't used BSI sensors in a6400 (and a6600) : (
That's true. It was misreported at the time.
Dear Sagi,corecct to 2020...what could work for me better video/photo,the A73...or sony6600?
Thanks for awsone vid
Good question. Unless I had a specific reason to shoot full frame (and a lot of money) I would go with the a6600. Here's my review: ruclips.net/video/_WKmCpUBnT4/видео.html Let me know if you have other questions Yehoash

It honestly brings me so much joy to hear that you are happy with your purchase. I'm glad I could be of some help throughout the process. 👊
Hey Tech Gear Talk, its November 2019 now and I was wondering if you know of a camera better than the A7iii? I don't care about pictures, only videos. I would like to record sport games and also shoot indoor stuff like playing the piano and the like. Thanks!
Hi. "Better" is always a touchy word for me. Sure, there are a lot of cameras that are better than the a7iii, but are they better for you? First, let's look at it this way - are you set on using a full frame camera? Just to understand, why not use the a6400 and then spend the 1100 on lenses?
@@TechGearTalk The thing is, I don't understand the technicalities of cameras and recording. I would just want a good camera that records video really well for sport stuff and still-stuff like recording myself playing the piano (preferably out-of-the-box). Also, I wouldn't be taking any pictures with it so that's another factor. Also, $2,000 is my budget.
If your budget is 2K then the a7iii is out of the question because you'll need to spend more money on lens/es and accessories. The a6400 is a good option (look at sigma lenses). If you want a camera that is easier to use, here is another option: ruclips.net/video/3Dh2cqok6_o/видео.html
@@TechGearTalk Thank you! :)
You're very welcome
My favorite cameras channel, NO damn JOKES here!!!!! other youtubers are damn annoying with a lot "jokes" every minute! This channels goes seriously to the point, no waste of time here. Thanks.
I'm super glad you liked the video and the approach. Welcome to the channel!
I’ve gotten to use my friends A7iii, & it’s amazing. But for my budget I’m prob gonna go with the a6400. I shoot a lot of video, & I do portraits. I can’t justify buying the a6600 for 1400 dollars if I can get an a7iii for 200 dollars more
Makes complete sense to me to get the a6400
Completely agree. It’s a huge upgrade from using the Sony a6300 for 3 years
Let me know how it works out for you.
Great video, I bought the a6400, I love this camera specially the size your video really helped me decide
So glad it was helpful. Congrats!!!
Are a73 raw files recognized by adobe lightroom classic cc?
Hi, sorry for the delay - I wanted to test this. Yes, I just shot and opened a RAW file in Lightroom Classic CC with no problem. Hope this helps.
Do u think I can use a6400 for professional video or you think I should save mor money for a7ii in 2021?
The camera Sony a7iii has a time limit of 30 minutes when recording or this model is no longer limited?
Yes, the a7iii has a 30 minute limit. The a6400 does not.
@@TechGearTalk because of that i bought 6400 to use with a7 iii.
You mean you got both?
@@TechGearTalk yes a7iii is overwhelming because 30 min limit. I do interview based documentaries, i need camera a n b from different angles. I will use them for multiple cinematic purposes also for short movies, clips. I have met 1 person he did the same. That is a good idea. I was thinking about canon xc15 but 6400 is better option 2 sony will be good combination.
Yup, 2 a6400 would work
Fantastic video. I love your presentation style!
I love your video quality 😍
Thank you for watching and for the kind words!
Hi! Do you have a video tutorial on how to color grade and color correct footage? I have a canon m50 (wanting to buy a Sony a6400 possibly)
thank you so much for this video ! you mentioned all I wanted to know about these 2 devices ;-) I already own an A7 III and I wanted a B cam to shoot with. The a6400 seems to be the best choice for this purpose !
I'm super glad the video was helpful and thank you for the kind words and support!
Never seen such an informative video before n it has been created ‘Dil se’ ( means done by heart) . I already ow nikon d 7500 with different lenses. Would like to add on either a 7 iii . Well thoroughly enjoyed the video man.
Wow - I’m so grateful for the kind words. Super appreciate you taking the time!!! 🙏🏻
I take a6400 because Im amateur and still learn photography so with the a6400 cheaper than a7iii you can buy some speedlite or studio lightning for support photography skill.
Excellent logic!
Thank you for info. I am planning to purchase a6400 and vlog our travel.

Hi this is surya
Just now subscribed to your channel by seeing that you gave replys to everyone that is a very good point which i liked about you that shows your concern for the people who are subscribing watching and liking your videos.....
Hi Surya - welcome to the channel. Appreciate the support and hope the videos are valuable. 🙏🏻
Thanks for your very interesting videos. There are always very useful.
I would like to address quite a specific question I am having a hard time finding an answer to online.
I was getting quite excited about buying the a7iii but I have been really sad to discover that it is not possible to tap-focus using the application. As a matter of fact I suffer muscular dystrophy and, as I can't hold the camera in my hands, I completely need to be able to focus remotely. Even if it does not work as good as I would like to, I can focus and shoot with my Canon 760D using the app. That is sad because it really seems to be a minor issue compared to what the camera as to offer but it is definitely crucial to me.
On the other hand, it seems that tap focusing using the app is possible (it might have something to do with the touchscreen options of this camera). Could you tell me more about that as I have seen that you have been playing around with the app a bit? I also heard about the Bluetooth remote control that seems to work quite well with the a7iii. Would that be an option? I guess it would be a bit tricky to manage focus modes in order to succeed to produce the image I want (I often like to put the on-focus object/subject on the sides of my pictures). Even if my main concern is image quality and the ability to shoot outstanding portraits this little difference could make me change my mind and decide for the A6400 over the a7iii . Thanks in advance for your help pal!
(Of course, anyone having information to give about that specific issue is more than welcome to contribute!)
Hi there Johann. This is a major pain point for me as well. I have simply not found any way to do that with a Sony camera.
I just reviewed the Canon M6 Mark II and the 90D. I've also reviewed the EOS R. They all have that functionality. Honestly, I would get one of those and enjoy the user experience.
Hi! What would I use for external recording assuming I buy the A7 iii? How does that work?
Thanks in advance.
Thank you so much for this video it was really helpful. I would wish to have the money to buy the sony a6400 so i could record again youtube videos and i could shoot portraits and other photos :D
Glad the video was helpful brother!

Hi I'm just getting started trying to figure out which camera is what I need? I plan to do photo shoots of models, product images, and I plan to do nature photography how well do you compare both of these cameras using telephoto lens for nature shots and video?
Sony a6400 for the win !!! 😂✔️
Is that what you pick as the best value?
Good review. One option I’m considering is the a6400 and Sony 70-350 combo (can’t afford full frame zooms). Will the lens OSS (not interested or needing IBIS for video) control image shake when using super telephoto enough to take a sharp photo without sending shutter rates and ISO numbers into serious noise country with the a6400 ? Or would I be better off with Sony a7 iii and grow over time with lens as I go ? Thanks. I considered the RX 10 IV also but noise with the 1 inch sensor seems to limit photos to internet image quality only . 👍😊
You remind me of Ross from Friends.
I can see that.
lol hi Ghomri my irl friend. What a small world.

Thanks so much Nighthawk!! Which would you take?
Oh, the a7III paired with some great glasses. 90mm 2.8 macro, 24-70mm 2.8, 85mm 1.8 and the new 135mm 1.8... that would be a dream. The truth is I can't afford them all now :(
That would be an unbelievable setup 🤤

Great video bro!
Glad you liked it! Appreciate you taking the time to leave feedback 🙏
i’m a beginner im really trying to get into automobile photography and videoing im stuck in between the A6400 and A7III what do u think would be the best option for what im looking to do thank you.
Which would you recommend for vlogging? First video I’ve watched from you and already subscribing lol. Great video
Thanks Eric. I would rather use an a6400 and have money to spend on fast lenses (like the sigma trio). Hope that helps.
Great video. Curious on your opinion on which camera to use in real estate photography? Also wondering on your opinon on a camera to use for real estate generally?
Great video. Unfortunatley I still don't know which one to buy. I like the flip up screen on the a6400 but I prefer the sensor in the a7 iii. I definately want 4k and these are two of my top options along with the Fuji XT-3 and the Nikon Z6. I think I've definatley eliminated the Nikon for having only one XQD card. It 's a really hard choice, all of these cameras look fantastic. Have you tried the hack on the a7 iii to have a flip up screen? (I mean the piece you can print using a 3D printer).
Those are all good choices for sure. Tell me more about the Z6 XQD card issue - I haven't looked at that camera yet.
I have not tried the 3D print flip up piece... but I will tell you the X-T3 is probably my favorite mirrorless camera right now (other than the controls).
@@TechGearTalk thanks for your reply! The issue with the Nikon Z6 is that it only has one card slot and this is an XQD card. According to most experts this type of card is going to get obsolete. CFexpress and SD UHS-III will be the new standards (and also faster than XQD). On top of this XQD are hard to find and very expensive. So. even though I own 2 Nikon lenses I believe the Sony a6400, Sony A7 III and XT-3 are better options. IMO a7 III > XT-3 > a6400 in terms of image quality. From all the reviews I've seen a6400 > a7 III > XT-3 in terms of user experience (how much does the user need to fiddle with the cameras). Then the XT-3 has more video options including 4K 60f.
I'm mostly going to use the camera indoors with a tripod and I use an external sound recorder. However, I was thinking of doing some vlogging every now and then. I know for this the a6400 would be ideal, but for the indoor scenario probably the other options are better. For a better image and better bokeh the a7 III is better. And then you have the XT-3 with all its options...It is a hard call for me.
It's a hard call and an easy call at the same time. The hard part is that you have 3 good options, but the easy part is that you have 3 good options 😂
I would prioritize what you're going to do most of the time. If you think you want the image quality/shallow depth of field of the a7iii, and most of the time you're on a tripod, I would prioritize that over the "some vlogging every now and then"
What do you think?
@@TechGearTalk thank you very much for your help. I agree 100% with you. I'm actually going to print that mirror piece and try it on a A7 III camera. If it works, then that will be my new camera! :)
Please let me know how it works out for you
All your reviews are wonderful . It is reported that a new Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 6K is soon going to be launched. I am eagerly waiting for the launch and your review.
That's going to be an interesting option. I'll do my best
Hello. I'm not a video guy and so my camera is for photo stills only. I'm an amateur who likes to take macro shoot and birding photography with a telephoto lens. I shoot in some manual modes but also in automatic mode. Would you recommend the A6400 and E Mount lenses? Or should I consider another camera? PS not willing to 2000 USD for a camera.
Great video, please do a more detailed quality comparison, about the two, please include same edited raw image from the two, thanks I enjoy all your videos, am a subscriber with notification turned on🙏
Good content helped me purchased the a7iii and don’t regret it. Had a question, what program do you recommend for video and photo editing ?
So glad the channel has been helpful and that you're loving your a7iii. I use Adobe Premiere Pro (I'm on a PC) and I really like it. Are you on a Mac or PC?
Tech Gear Talk I will definitely be check it out and I have both Mac and PC
On a mac, you can use Final Cut Pro X which is nice and easy.
Tech Gear Talk What lens do you recommend for a do it all for this camera
That's a tough question because "do it all" could mean different things to different people. Definitely a fast zoom though. Probably a 24-70 2.8 or something close.
Clear and concise, thanks for sharing it. cheers.
Super grateful for you taking the time to watch and share the kind feedback
I shoot downhill and enduro mountain bike races in the heavily wooded/tree covered woods of New England with a Canon 7d Mk II / 70-200 2.8 lens and a Canon 70d with the same lens and I find it very difficult to get super sharp images of the riders coming at me at speeds of 20-30+ mph. I'm dying to try the Sony A7 III but since the 7D and 70d are both crop sensors, maybe the new Sony A6600 would be a good choice as opposed to the A7 III. Do you have any idea if either camera would focus better than my Canon's? And would they focus better with my Canon lenses and the Sigma adapter? Or do I need to buy Sony glass (their 70-200 2.8 is something crazy like $2500)? Thanks!
Interesting question. So first FF would give you much less zoom the aps-c. So right now, with the 200 you’re getting a 350mm equivalent field of view. That’s something else to consider. What shutter speeds are your shooting at. Are the shots out of focus or are you getting motion blur?
Also, for best results, you’ll want Sony lenses, or even sigma lenses for Sony - rather than an adapter.
@@TechGearTalk I try to shoot at 1/1000 or faster but need to use a pretty high ISO usually (in the woods) to do so. I don't know if I can post links here but here's an example: topshots.smugmug.com/2019/2019-Maxxis-ESC-Intense-DH-Round-8-at-Plattekill-NY/i-JXNG226/A (ISO 3200, f2.7, 115mm, 1/1600) I don't know if you can zoom in but it looks like crap. This shot is better: topshots.smugmug.com/2019/2019-Maxxis-ESC-Intense-DH-Round-8-at-Plattekill-NY/i-z69LvH5/A (same settings, both pics shot in the rain BTW). I have much better luck in brighter conditions like this picture: topshots.smugmug.com/2019/2019-Maxxis-ESC-Intense-DH-Round-7-Mountain-Creek-NJ/i-NVVtt5F/A (ISO 1000, 105 mm, f3.5, 1/2500). To me - I don't see motion blur (but not sure I'd recognize it), I'm assuming focus isn't good.
Which is compatible with sigma 85mm f1.4 dg dn lens? Is both are compatible?
