Easily the best review I’ve seen of the A6400, which sold me on buying this as my first real camera from a smartphone. Went over all the pros and instead of focusing on the negative, shed them all in a light that makes them seem not like negatives at all. Especially my hesitation with the flip up LCD, battery, and no IBIS. Awesome work!!! New fan :)
Beautiful timelapses, great cinematics, transitions were smooth and straight to the point. Your best review yet. I think your going to have to start traveling more for reviews because of how high you just set the bar.
Why would it hurt Canon shooters? What a childish statement. I'm a Canon user and couldn't give a stuff what Sony does or doesn't have. Think about your brainless statement. Does it HURT you if your friend's car has a feature your car doesn't have? Does it HURT you if your friend has a feature on his/her computer that yours hasn't? It seems Sony f'heads are the bulk of people who care about what anyone else has. I just buy what I want and use it.
@@zodiacfml Better DR and vastly inferior high ISO quality in stills. And? Why are you so bothered about Canon? Buy what you want and stop worrying about what others want.
Hey man just wanted to say I’m a fan of your videos. You really helped me make my purchase decision a year ago on the A6500. Keep up the great and helpful vids!
Dang Jason, always setting the bar high for every camera review - sooo good! This video really changed my perspective on the a6400, definitely helpful!
This will be my first camera, all thanks to you. I’ve been looking at Sony cameras for weeks and you narrowed it down in one video. Fantastic job, got a sub.
Tremendous review Jason! This is quite possibly your best video yet. So much content in a compact video, extremely well shot and fluidly edited. I'm very excited to get mine to pair with my a7iii. Eager to use it for vlogging and live streaming. I'm also excited to no longer have to take blind selfies for RUclips thumbnails 😂
As a subscriber from when Jason Vong had less than 1000 subs, I am so happy for Jason getting closed to 100,000 subs soon. CONGRATS IN ADVANCE!!!! BUT I will definitely going to miss your braces. =) BY THE WAY, BEST REVIEW FOR A6400 HANDS DOWN PERIOD.
yep i was not talking about yours but your dear friend Danny @ that1cameraguy got me confused. I blame him lol. By the way, I also do miss ya collab together. I miss those days XD
I was going to review this camera until I watched this and realised there is just no point... well done bro, you cover absolutely everything. Will now be directing any questions I get your way ;)
Well damn, this really turned my opinion around. I'm an a6000 user in desperate need of a new body, this looks quite compelling. I'll still wait for that higher-end APS-C to see how well that turns out.
Amazing... Planned to buy A6400 for documentation purpose and street photography... your videos really help me a lot... The USB charge feature really one of kind...
I know it will be a learning curve for me. I've been shooting with a cannon Rebel t3i. Oldy, but I have taken some beautiful pictures with it.. just time to step it a notch or 2.
I’m waiting for it, for all the review about a6400 I would say yours is the best so far and the moreI watch your videos the more I want to buy it. Thank you
I have both the a6500 and a6400. I intended to use the 6400 as a second/backup camera. But I'm finding I'm using the 6400 most of the time now. The EyeAF is easier to use. I'm not having problems with image stabilization either. I fretted for weeks over buying the 6400 without IBIS but I'm finding it's mostly a non issue.
I ordered an a6400 with the kit lens 16-50mm today from Ted’s , about to order the Sony 18-105 f4 Lens, a real beauty, with built in image stabilisation (OSS). Had the a6000 before that.. excellent too.. just sold that today. Best time to buy with 15% discounts! I live in Australia, Victoria, in the country.
Marie-C. Yes me too... I actually just bought a6500 yesterday. I can still exchange it to a6400 since I haven’t open or try or turn it on yet. Jason... pleaseeee tell us which one is better? I like to do more video than photo. Pls pls pls tell us. Subbed!!
Cool video man! Straight to the point with facts and examples for each situation. After watching, it just made me realize there's a lot more perks in the A6400 even without in body stabilization.
This is a very helpful review of the 6400. Other folk have been downplaying this little camera but I think your review points up its amazing qualities and indeed value.
I don't want to switch from my A6500 anyway, I want a real successor of the A6500 with the new processor AND IBIS. Come on Sony! Don't want to go without IBIS. The best Sony APS-C lenses (namely Sigma 16mm, 30mm, 56mm) are not stabilized. Sure, the Sony IBIS is not the best anyway, but you definitely notice the difference when using longer focal lengths such as 56mm. Also for stills. When switching from A6000 to A6500 I definitely recognized the difference having IBIS.
I don't need the 6400, but I'm finding myself naturally drawn to it in a strange way. Holding tight for the A7SIII to upgrade my SII from, but as a B-CAM with some vintage lenses, I can see a lot going for this camera. NO RECORD time limit GO! Oh a much lower SLOG ISO as well I'm sick of 1600 ;) EDIT: sorry really great review Jason.
Thanks for this review! It’s the best one I’ve seen as you actually go into the detail needed to decide for myself whether it’s the camera for me, not just put your opinion on it based on your existing priorities. The menu and customisation stuff was super useful to know 🤜👍
Been waiting for the camera to come out in my country, watching your vids and research. End up getting the XT3!! 😅😅 I already have an a6500, so hopefully if they ever come out with a7000 besides the a7siii! Anyway keep your vids coming!
0:26 His face when he pulls off the „I‘m holding the camera“ „Oh no I‘m not“ trick, he‘s so happy😂 But such an awesome Video Jason, can‘t say you‘re my favorite RUclipsr, James Matthews earns that place but you‘re definitely in my top 3😋
So yeah... me / us again. Just here to thank you for the videos on the 6400 and the weebill lab. Ordered both. =) We will follow you from now on and watch your videos. Have a great week. Yasi & Marc
This was probably the best review I’ve seen for this camera, man. You made me think of two things 1. Flip screen is awesome, but you might end up looking at the screen the whole time (aka away from your viewers) 2. Mic issue isn’t that bad since the set up on a flip out screen is similar. Still indecisive whether I should switch from my Fuji XT2 though :/
IBIS doesn't even work that well in the a6500, so that's a non-issue in many situations (not every single one of course). but the BATTERY LIFE is the main reason i want one. selling my a6500s asap! feb 28 hurry up!
J. Sanchez no. It uses the same battery, but the whole point of this camera is the improved processor that uses less of that same battery. I get under an hour on an a6500, and people on average are getting 1hr 30 minutes or so with the new a6400 and same battery. This is the main thing I want. I recently got an A7iii and still only have 1 battery, yet it lasts all day and I’m rarely charging it, compared to carrying 5 NP50 batteries for my a6500. The change with the a6400 will be similar. Maybe only 1 spare battery to bring.
Phil Jones65 ok. Complain all you want that’s fine. But some of us are busy making content with this “old gear.” If you’d like to wait for the perfect camera, have fun. *shrug*
Phil Jones65 the small body is exactly why I like it though. Just... don’t buy it instead of telling others why they shouldn’t based on what you prefer?
So it wasn't just click bait. It was definitely the best review of the 6400 I've come across so far. Good review. Very informative and easy to understand since I'm a beginner.
im definitely getting this for my first major camera. I had a fuji film back in the day and didnt know what i was doign with it. but i really like the features on this camera...this is the one for me
im waiting for an update to a5100, because i didnt like the size of a6000.,but still want updated color science. But also i excited that this camera came out, it sounds really amazing
They should work on a new firmware for the A6500 to have some of the features of the A6400... like common the timelapse feature and skin tones allot they can fix with an update ! #comeonsony !
i do filming for local musicians- music videos and live performances. in camera stabilization don't matter much, but the no recording limit is beyond important for me. i'm putting this thing on a tripod so it'll catch the whole gig from start to finish. having to hit the record button every four songs at a gig is a pain. this is a game changer for a filmmaker like me. i can't wait to get my hands on it!
Would you recommend this model or the older a6500? I’m looking into a new camera for shooting videos and I’m diving into the various models on the market right now. You mentioned some stabilization problems with this model, if you’d recommend a standard lens for the a6400, which one would it be?
Mine should be here next week. Cannot wait. I'm moving from a cabin m50 and really looking chard to the new features I don't currently get to enjoy. 1080p/120fps, the new auto focus, no recording time limit. Thanks for the review, I have subscribed. :)
@@JasonVong So, just picked it up at Best Buy (along with the 18-105 G and the Sigma 30 1.4 Contemporary) and whoooo boy do I love this camera. The menu system on the other hand....
This is one of the best entry level cameras in the market right now. I'm actually thinking about upgrading to this camera from my beloved A6000. Still waiting on a new APSC body from Sony, but this is a step in the right direction.
I think the A6400 is for a more casual use and is has a flip up screen. The X-T3 it's more serious, 10 bit, up 400mbps, 4K at 60fps, amazing color profiles like Eterna. In my opinion the things that the A6400 has over the X-T3 is the price, flip up screen and no recording limit. I purchased the A6400 had it for about a week, returned it and got the X-T3. The X-T3 is definitely a step up.
With me traveling a lot more lately, this camera has been making me wanna get it. But if I do I need to get the 10-18 lens to keep the vlogging set up light. I do like what you said about the design basically being the same with a flip out screen compared to the mic holder. Thanks for the video Jason!
Great Video Jason. Its Very well organized into distinctive Sections and Extremely helpful for people to get a Very complete picture of all the Functions they need to know about
I don't want a side screen. I prefer the screen on top, yet they should put the microphone mount to the side (90 degrees turned) with an 90 degrees separate adapter.
Larz B not true sir. On a gimbal and the screen on top you have to rebalance the camera every time you switch the screen where as when the screen is on the side all you have to do is twist the screen gimbal still in balance. Try it some time. I have. Try getting a low angle shot pointing up with your flip up screen. Side screen can maneuver any which way you need. If all you are using your camera for is “selfie stuff” sure I guess it may work. I can tell anytime someone is starring at their self. It don’t matter where the screen is. Everyone is so caught up in selfie. Further adding a bracket to hold a mic is just more added equipment. This is not fictional for run and shoot scenario. I don’t know why I’m wasting my time trying to explain this to a person who lives in a selfie words. You’ll never get it. I’m out
I've watched like 15-20 videos of sony a6100 and 6400 in three days and this video was my favorite and by far the best one, thank you so much for this efficient video; I'm even more excited to buy one and have fun!! :D
Hands down one of the best cameras you can buy for film or vlogs!!!! The 6500 requires an external monitor to frame your shots better. That alone is a $500 investment. Not needed with the 6400 camera. The 6300 and below have no external mic input, so the audio has to be recorded separately to get crispy clear audio. That is a pain in post-production. Especially, when you have multiple scenes you need to record and sync. The overheating fix is a blessing! I would alternate between the 6500 and the older 5000 for 2 hour recording sessions. Also, there are new small rig mounts that can move the microphone around. This will allow better access and viewing of the flip up screen. Overall, this camera combines the best of the entire 5000-6500 cameras. As mentioned in the video, only IBIS is missing. If you're used to using a tripod or gimbal, then you're not missing out much. Just check out Peter Mckinnon's amazing handheld work to see that you can manage without IBIS. Truly a marvel of camera innovation. Thank you Sony🎊🎉🎊🎉🎊🎉

It really is! The other reviewers complain so much. Takes the fun out of seeing whats available with new cameras.
Yes

Down for Mexico Part 2?
Jason Vong you know it!
Hey, that ‘No crop in 4K” really hurts Canon users😭
Sorry I should have been more PC 😭
This has better DR than the EOS RP.
Why would it hurt Canon shooters? What a childish statement. I'm a Canon user and couldn't give a stuff what Sony does or doesn't have.

This video was so helpful! Best review of the a6400 I've watched! Also, the footage is dreamy & I cannot wait to make my own!!!
Thank you!
I wish I could afford this. I've been watching so many reviews on this and I'm really falling for it. I'm a Sony girl, so the flip screen is plus!!
80d left the chat!
Haha, I sold my 80D to buy the a6400. Best comment ever!
It's really best review on RUclips about a6400☺️👍🏻
Great review! I think I know what I need to replace my old A6000
Opening with the top feature summary was a super good move. Great review for sure!
Thanks! 😁
Dude you hit it out of the park with this video! Super tempted to get this now!
thanks Joseph!
I just bought this camera. I'm very excited to start using it! Thanks for this amazing video! 😀🙏👏
I was going to review this camera until I watched this and realised there is just no point... well done bro, you cover absolutely everything. Will now be directing any questions I get your way ;)
Well done Jason.... will pre order 6400 😀
Super thorough thanks for the info! Mic vs no-mic at the restaurant was a huge difference!
Definitely the only time I was glad there was a lot of background noise haha
Great introduction. I just got my alpha 6400 yesterday with 18 - 105 mm lens.
Well damn, this really turned my opinion around. I'm an a6000 user in desperate need of a new body, this looks quite compelling. I'll still wait for that higher-end APS-C to see how well that turns out.
When is that coming?
Amazing... Planned to buy A6400 for documentation purpose and street photography... your videos really help me a lot... The USB charge feature really one of kind...
I pre ordered and look forward to your set-up video, Thanks Jason!
Same! I look forward to it very much! Show us noobs some good compact lenses as well so we can coat pocket this cam.
I just got a sony a6400 and I can't stop watching your videos!!
I can't wait to get mine! It will be my first mirrorless!
congrats!
yay. its gonna be amazing to see the change in the screen light when you adjust the exposure, and plus many lens easily get 1.4
I know it will be a learning curve for me. I've been shooting with a cannon Rebel t3i. Oldy, but I have taken some beautiful pictures with it.. just time to step it a notch or 2.
Great video! I've been a Nikon user for a few years and love their cameras but this Sony a 6400 Is amazing and I want one!
Thanks for helping us out with our Sony a6400, and, for allowing us to catch a glimpse of Hong Kong!
You missed to include your collar mic in the full gear kit link
I’m waiting for it, for all the review about a6400 I would say yours is the best so far and the moreI watch your videos the more I want to buy it. Thank you

Such an incredible camera, Jason! Need to upgrade to something like this!
You are one my most favourite RUclipsr. It's a delight watching your videos.
wow nice comprehensive review.. thanks

So that breathtaking timelapse by A6400 !!!!!
My favorite shot too for sure. ❤️
Best review of a6400 so far, where some reviewers are just nitpicking on the stabilization.
Appreciate that, thank you!
Great video! Excited to get mine in the mail on the 28th

i do filming for local musicians- music videos and live performances. in camera stabilization don't matter much, but the no recording limit is beyond important for me. i'm putting this thing on a tripod so it'll catch the whole gig from start to finish. having to hit the record button every four songs at a gig is a pain. this is a game changer for a filmmaker like me. i can't wait to get my hands on it!
when you get yours, set Auto Pwr Temp to High and you're good to go
@@JasonVong i can't wait!
Would you recommend this model or the older a6500? I’m looking into a new camera for shooting videos and I’m diving into the various models on the market right now.
You mentioned some stabilization problems with this model, if you’d recommend a standard lens for the a6400, which one would it be?
Mine should be here next week. Cannot wait. I'm moving from a cabin m50 and really looking chard to the new features I don't currently get to enjoy. 1080p/120fps, the new auto focus, no recording time limit. Thanks for the review, I have subscribed. :)
Very informative. What lense should I buy for traveling for this a6400? Thx
Sigma 16mm
Just so happen to travel to the same spot a month ago, think gonna study from your shots and prepare for the next trip! XD
Great video as always!
Aaaaaaand... Preordered it!!! And it's all your fault Jason!!
Muwahahhaha
@@JasonVong So, just picked it up at Best Buy (along with the 18-105 G and the Sigma 30 1.4 Contemporary) and whoooo boy do I love this camera. The menu system on the other hand....
This is one of the best entry level cameras in the market right now. I'm actually thinking about upgrading to this camera from my beloved A6000. Still waiting on a new APSC body from Sony, but this is a step in the right direction.
The magnesium shell feels so much better than the a6000 too. I'd just do it :p
There's the a6300 but this one kills it. The a6300 is a failure twice now. I expect a ton in the used market selling little to nothing.
Thoughts on a6400 vs Fuji X-T30?
I think the A6400 is for a more casual use and is has a flip up screen. The X-T3 it's more serious, 10 bit, up 400mbps, 4K at 60fps, amazing color profiles like Eterna. In my opinion the things that the A6400 has over the X-T3 is the price, flip up screen and no recording limit. I purchased the A6400 had it for about a week, returned it and got the X-T3. The X-T3 is definitely a step up.
@@badplatano Ok, thanks for your reply. Tho my question was about X-T30 whic is in range of A6400 by price and features.
With me traveling a lot more lately, this camera has been making me wanna get it. But if I do I need to get the 10-18 lens to keep the vlogging set up light. I do like what you said about the design basically being the same with a flip out screen compared to the mic holder. Thanks for the video Jason!
No new aps-c lenses... So I will not buy it... Ask Sony to make more lenses for APS-C thanks.
great review, Jason! your video production quality is awesome
Only if it had stabilization... Oh and 4k 60fps
if it had 4K60p... i would say its better than the a7iii 😂
would you pay substantially more? If so wait for the a7000. If it ever comes. LOL
Great Video Jason. Its Very well organized into distinctive Sections and Extremely helpful for people to get a Very complete picture of all the Functions they need to know about
How dare you say it doesn’t matter. People want a side screen. You know you do too. Stop making Sony think they are giving us what we want.
I don't want a side screen. I prefer the screen on top, yet they should put the microphone mount to the side (90 degrees turned) with an 90 degrees separate adapter.
Larz B then you’re just crazy. Because side screen gives you more functionality period. Easier to use on gimbals, more angles to view.
Larz B lol butt hurt much? Your opinion is just that, an opinion, a wrong one at that. Don’t be mad when you’re told you’re wrong.
Larz B not true sir. On a gimbal and the screen on top you have to rebalance the camera every time you switch the screen where as when the screen is on the side all you have to do is twist the screen gimbal still in balance. Try it some time. I have. Try getting a low angle shot pointing up with your flip up screen. Side screen can maneuver any which way you need. If all you are using your camera for is “selfie stuff” sure I guess it may work. I can tell anytime someone is starring at their self. It don’t matter where the screen is. Everyone is so caught up in selfie. Further adding a bracket to hold a mic is just more added equipment. This is not fictional for run and shoot scenario. I don’t know why I’m wasting my time trying to explain this to a person who lives in a selfie words. You’ll never get it. I’m out
I've watched like 15-20 videos of sony a6100 and 6400 in three days and this video was my favorite and by far the best one, thank you so much for this efficient video; I'm even more excited to buy one and have fun!! :D
It's a SONY you can't go wrong.

Literally the best review in youtube for this camera. Been searching for a good review and you just made my day brotha!
Went for the 6500 instead 😀
the best review for a6400 because u use this camera for vlog! tq bro
No 4k crop? but is already a crop sensor camera ahahah :,)
You got me there
Hands down one of the best cameras you can buy for film or vlogs!!!! The 6500 requires an external monitor to frame your shots better. That alone is a $500 investment. Not needed with the 6400 camera. The 6300 and below have no external mic input, so the audio has to be recorded separately to get crispy clear audio. That is a pain in post-production. Especially, when you have multiple scenes you need to record and sync. The overheating fix is a blessing! I would alternate between the 6500 and the older 5000 for 2 hour recording sessions. Also, there are new small rig mounts that can move the microphone around. This will allow better access and viewing of the flip up screen. Overall, this camera combines the best of the entire 5000-6500 cameras. As mentioned in the video, only IBIS is missing. If you're used to using a tripod or gimbal, then you're not missing out much. Just check out Peter Mckinnon's amazing handheld work to see that you can manage without IBIS. Truly a marvel of camera innovation. Thank you Sony🎊🎉🎊🎉🎊🎉
You always make the best video reviews on camera; thanks again as always jason!
