I just pre-order the sony A6400. For all the flaw, there are work arounds. they fixed the major issue : the over heating, the recording limit, and improved the auto tracking. I'm sold.
EthanInGoa if you are telling a great story nobody is going to give a damn fuck about your rolling shutter. You think your mom or uncle would say: great video but the rolling shutter completely ruined it. Idk what you want to do with your camera but I guess its not a major issue and if it is you can always buy the gh5.
I love the a 6400. I upgraded from a6000 and I have to say I am soo SOOO HAPPY WITH THE 6400. Quality is spectacular. Has all the perks of 6000 + auto eye focus. Currently using the 30mm 1.4 sigma for potrait photography. at 1.4 my shots are incredible. I don't want or need a canon or nikon.
This is going to be my 6th Sony camera (5th DSLR - I also have the FS700 because of the slow motion). I agree with you about the 10-18mm lens. It is mind-blowing. I can't wait to get my 6400.
Great vid for those of us about to make the jump to the 6400... I'm gonna buy one this week so that Sony can immediately release another new camera for all of you! Seriosuly though, much appreciated!
I’ve been watching a a lot of videos trying to figure out what camera I wanted to buy and I’ve finally made a decision Thank You for sharing your opinion
Jason, FYI, I have checked with a few vendors including Sony. They have told me that the screen protector would not fit the a6400. They haven't had one that is made for the a6400 yet.
Great video! I’ve been trying to decide between the 6400 and 6500 for real estate video. The 6500 only so I could use any brand lens with the built in stabilization. But I’m rethinking that.... your video showed me that there are better things with the 6400. I would be using a gimbal too so there is that. Anyway thanks!
You're the one who recommended a6400 for me a a beginner. When I searched for lenses guide for a6400.it was you again that I saw haha. Nice thanks for your videos I'm learning a lot.
Just pre ordered the a6400! I watch your videos over and over again because I’m just so excited and this is the closest I can get to using it before it releases!
I have A6500 yet I have exactly what you recommend, 10-18/4; 16-70/4; 35/1.8 plus the 55-205mm. I travel light with 4 lenses. And your give away wrist strap by peak design is fantastic; I kept the neck one home. How about the Peak Design 5 lt sling bag, fantastic as well.
@@GotJay713 What up Justin......No I have not purchased one yet. Every time I go to purchase the 6400 Sony talks about a new model coming out like the A6700.
I guess I need a gimbal since I’m using Sigma 16mm f1.4.. Oh boy, I can’t wait to have my own a6400, right now I use an a6000 which means it will be an upgrade - hoot hoot! More power to you Jason.
I sold my 6500 to get the 6400, but am thinking it would be wise to wait for some sort of 6700 - loving the new auto focus in these new models nevertheless 👍
You should really consider posting your videos on 2:1 aspect ratio. They make a huge difference on most phones nowadays and barely makes a difference on tvs and laptops. So win-win! Thanks for the great tips!
@@JasonMorrisphotocinema at a good price ! For the A6400 review a lot people was using Full Frame G master lenses... Two times the price of the A6400... We don't even have a 16-50 F2.8 !!!!
@@pop1348 agreed. Fujifilm are the best for their aps-c range. Predominantly because thats their niche market whereas sony are more invested in owning the full frame mirrorless market
I didn't see any disclosures for potential conflicts of interest? I'm not suggesting your recommendations would be different, but if you are being paid or compensated in any way by Sony for this video (e.g. products, money, travel opportunities), can you please disclose this in the spirit of transparency. You do give shout-outs to some other products (e.g. Sigma lens), but when it comes to the links you post, they favor Sony. Sometimes folks say "Sony did send me this, but I'm free to say whatever I want" but such comments aren't necessarily true. The only reason I bring this up is several of your professional colleagues who love Sony, don't recommend as much Sony gear as you do and I think they have valid points, blah blah, blah, Anyhow, you get what I'm saying. Overall I appreciate your videos and have learned a lot. thanks
Preordered on reservation day right at 10am when it opened. 2 weeks later I deleted it. Didnt feel comfortable with the very minor upgrades. AF is the only upgrade I care about but all else looks like rubbish to me...flipscreen... whatever. I'll wait for an A6500 successor. Also, considering dropping Sonys APS-C altogether and just sticking with Fuji.
Thank you for such informative videos Jason! I got the a6400 just before a big trip I took a couple weeks ago. Broke the SELP1650 kit lens a few days into my trip so bought the SEL1670Z on the road. I'm an amateur photographer and hopeful future lifestyle vlogger once I get back to normal life here, so the new lens was a pretty large unexpected expense to add to my last minute decision to spring for the camera, but I'm looking at the lens filters you recommend and wondering if those are the best for everyday lifestyle vlogging or if you recommend another lens filter (kind of thinking mostly for protecting the lens more than anything)? TIA!
I'm getting the 6400, just returned my Lumix g7 and the money i was saving for lenses is going towards that... I have a lot of Canon lenses(with the sl2) so I decided instead of investing in lenses, i got a metabones V... Also thinking about the sigma 16mm(do everything on a tripod in the shop), since I have a few weeks til it comes out....
Just stumbled across your channel while researching "stuff to buy" for my pre-ordered a6400. Promptly filled the cart on my Amazon account to the tune of a couple of hundred dollars. Wow. Thanks for that. But seriously, opted for this camera over the Fuji X-T30 (which I love for its sheer beauty) due to 1) weather/dust resistance 2) superior AF 3) ability to charge on the fly via the USB. It was a tough call, but I can't wait to get my hands on it. Already ordered the E 50mm 1.8 OSS as my first prime for portraiture. So, I subscribed. Good content thus far. Ding ding ding ding!!!
Great video! Ever thought about doing a tutorial on using a remote with the a6400 or using the "control with smartphone" option? I've just not been able to figure those out yet. Thanks!
In GB and much of Europe and Australia, giving the "peace" sign that way (two fingers up, back of hand facing out), is the same as middle finger up in the US... Which is not what you meant, I'm sure, lol! Nice vid, I'm in the market for one one these cameras, ATM... Take care!
Wow. These accessories are useful for my other Sony Cameras. Love that. You nailed it. Mini tripod was in my mind and ur suggestion made me to buy it. Super doooper video. 👍👍👍👍
Gonna whait for camera with smaller rolling-effect. If not... i'll buy this one as pair for my A7III. Sony are step-to-step getting closer to users. I like they strategy!
Hey Jason! What would you recommend for someone that needs OSS and would like something faster than f4? I think a 16-50 2.8 would be perfect focal length. I would rock the sigma 16-35 1.8 as well if it had stabilization. I like the 18-105 but it's not great in low light or super sharp for photo. I mostly shoot in the wider focal length
0:26 as a proud owner of A6400 + Tamron 17-70mm, i would like to weigh in here on an alternative option i use. since where i am a battery goes for 100USD, i opted to buy a 27,000 mah power bank for 35USD instead of several batteries. the A6400 can be operated while charging, so when i am low on battery i just stretch out a USB cable from by bag and plug it in as i continue to shoot un interrupted.
... I so want this a6400. It appears to be a great second camera and it can shoot for longer than 30 minutes! I need that for performances that I shoot, producing some go-to footage while repositioning myself with the main camera. And its small!! I love it! I have a gimbal as well, so it could live on that gimbal all the time! Very exciting! But when is it shipping? That's the $6400 question! Lol
When I tested it on a Sony a6400 body with a Sony NEX-7's 18-55mm kit lens, the focal length I wanted was 30mm. The distance between the subject and the camera is 2m. In this case, with a sigma 30mm f1.4 lens or sony 35mm f1.8 lens, the crop body is about 50mm, so if I want to get the 30mm I want, should I look for a 20-24mm lens? Is there a lens you would like to recommend?
Jason i would like to win the t-shirt. Always watching every video you upload. The a6400 no doubt is the best camera for vloggers. I would have to get the wife to agree with me to buy this. 😁
I’m wondering if the 16-70 Zeiss is actually a “Zeiss Quality” lens, or not.. because that extra 35mm range of the 18-105 is not bad... btw can’t wait to buy the a6400 !!
I really want the Sigma 1.4 but also want the Sony 10-18mm. I want to restart on making automotive Vlogs. Which would you prefer? I currently have the 18-135mm
What about if you use a Tamron 17-28 f2.8 might be a better quality length since it’s a full frame lens, And eventually you could upgrade to a full frame camera later on and it’s cheaper than the G lens
Hi Jason, What type of Microphone are you using to record your videos. and what lense is the best for live streaming and what equipment I should get with Sony A6400 for live streaming ?
Watching this in 2024 before buying Sony a6400

Which lens are you using?

good video Jason, I saw you at CES and gave you a shout out at the ride share spot where it was super crowded.

Was thinking about getting that lens only because I was originally going to go with the 6500. I still want to get it. Which Gimbal are you going for?
Home Studio Basics
I’m lookin at the Zhiyun Weebill Lab gimbal. Because it’s compact so I can bring it to my backpacking trips.
I sold my 6500 to get the 6400, but am thinking it would be wise to wait for some sort of 6700 - loving the new auto focus in these new models nevertheless 👍
Looks like the next camera I will buy. This video really helps with choosing which lenses I will buy for it. Thanks Jason!

Totally preordering the A6400, huge upgrade from my A6000. Question though? Should I sell the A6000 or keep it as a backup?
Once you use the a6400 enough, the 6000 will feel ancient
Jason Vong I'll take that as sell the A6000 lol!!!
I would just keep or sell it and buy a sigma 35 mm 1.4 ;D or the 16
Please make a comparison video of a6400 and Canon m50
Is it not recommended to buy full frame lenses for a 6400 ?
As they would be useful in future when one upgrades to a full frame body.
I’m looking to upgrade my A6000, but I really think ibis is a must. Might change my mind depending on the price of a a6500 upgrade.
When you use a gimbal can you still use the bracket to have the microphone on the side?

Is there a lens you would like to recommend?
i can not use all the ports at the same time, if i insert audio then i couldn't insert hdmi.
probably gonna use the a5000 for a couple more years and then upgrade to either the a6400 or the a6300 :) that shirt is so cute!

awesome video
3:14 are you using gimbal or just handheld? Great comparison btw!
What about if you use a Tamron 17-28 f2.8 might be a better quality length since it’s a full frame lens, And eventually you could upgrade to a full frame camera later on and it’s cheaper than the G lens
