Today I’m going to compare the Sony a6400 and the Canon EOS RP for both photography and video. We have an outstanding Sony APS-C mirrorless camera going head to head against a Canon Full Frame mirrorless camera.
There are some similarities and some significant differences, so I will cover the strengths and weaknesses of the #a6400 and the #canon EOS RP for both photography and video, and compare everything from body type, sensor size, framerate and resolution, slow motion, auto focus, lens options, audio features, and ergonomics.
I will also look at the #sony a6400 and the Canon EOS RP in terms of battery life, timelapse, viewfinder and streaming options and recording limit.

What's up everyone?! I hope this comparison of the Sony A6400 and the Canon EOS RP with sample footage and images is helpful. Do you think the RP is worth the extra $? Or would you go with the a6400?
Would love to know what you think, good or bad. I am grateful in advance 🙏
I'm writing this before I watch the video but (as a video user) I don't see how the RP can keep up. I'm curios though as I watch to see what you find!!
Thanks for watching Jason. A few questions. What did you think after watching? What are you shooting with now (please start a new comment or I won't be notified).
Hi TGT or anyone, please help me understand. On APS-C I understand how you have to calculate the crop factor into the focal length and aperture ratings. And I understand how this will affect perceptual mega pixels as opposed to FF.
My question is when the EOS RP crops when in 4K video. I understand on the EOS RP it will affect focal length, but does it also affect aperture like in APS-C cameras?
Wow! So my wife is brand new to the world of photography and equipment. So new in fact, I am currently doing research to buy her first camera and gear setup.
First, where do you store all this information?! Super impressive and I appreciate your time and effort of providing these thorough reviews. Based on all your reviews, I am leaning Sony A6400.
1. Would you have a better suggestion?
Mainly buying to capture memories of the kids, take high quality photos for our portrait wall, capture video memories, and every now and then capture some beautiful landscapes.
2. How does the Sony photo editing software compare to other manufacturers? (Ease of use, capabilities, compatibility with other formats or software/printing agencies, etc)
Thank you again for putting your review together!!!
I've had the a6400 for over a month now and couldn't be happier with it. Plus, every time you do a review or comparison with it, I feel more and more at ease that I made the right choice. Great and highly informative video as always.
It's so great to hear that you're enjoying your a6400! I appreciate you continuing to watch the videos and for all the support
Every time I type in a camera question on YT and see your channel come up I breathe a sigh of relief because I know i'm going to get all the info I need. Subbed!
I'm glad that the videos have been helpful. Grateful to have you as part of the community. 🙏
Watched a few of your videos and I'm now set on getting the A6400. I'll be using it for documentary photography, portraits and architecture. Thanks so much, very excited!
this is second video I watch on this channel and again is the best I’ve seen about cameras description and information thank you very much
Thank you so much - I appreciate you being part of this community!
Great comparison, which covered all the features of each camera. Thank you :)
I'm super glad it was helpful! Thank you for the kind words and for joining the community 🙏
This is the best full detailed comparison of the a6400 and RP video I have seen. Thank you.
Excellent review. I watched your breakdown very attentively and rate it as the best I've seen. You put in a great deal of detail, and even though I don't understand all the tech terms, I am now sold on the Sony a6400. Respect!
I'm super glad it was helpful! Thank you for the kind words and for joining the community 🙏
U provide great insight of cameras.. just one suggestion, while telling specifications u can also put up the writings (of specifications) on screen so that people can read it along while listening to you.. rest awesome.. keep doing good work.. best of luck
That's a good idea Gideon. Do you think each spec? (like a list) or just while I show it?
Yes like list.. in the video u were verbally telling specs.. so while telling this, simultaneously on screen u can show the list of specs.. that would b great
Let me see how it would look on the screen, I'll play around with it. Thanks!
@@TechGearTalk I think putting the specs that people care about the most is a good idea. Just don't put everything there😅
@@TechGearTalk I'd personally vote for the latter, just putting the specs and numbers in written form on the screen while you mention them..but that would just be my personal preference. By the way: your videos are easy to follow even for a newbie like me: clear explanations, good pace, use of illustrating examples.
Great work mate! Very deep and detail comparison between two cameras, and without being seasoned with DRAMA and some unnecessary face expression.
Thank you so much for the feedback Randy. Thanks for being part of and supporting the channel!
Brilliant review. You covered everything. And I can deduce that they're equally better than each other.
This is such an amazingly detailed video. Good job!
The RP with the 35mm RF is a great lightweight FF combo. I think the digital IS is handy as well - plus I find it much easier to hold a FF camera steady for video as opposed to a cropped sensor.
That super valuable input Mark - thank you so much for contributing to the community! I like the "feel" of a larger camera as well. I actually like the RP size, even better than my a7iii size.
@@TechGearTalk yes I tried them at a local photo store while waiting for a Z6 to arrive. Such nice size - I'm thinking just that combo for a gimbal camera only.
Do you have a Z6 now?
@@TechGearTalk - no I just didn't like it I played around with one for about half an hour - during that time someone handed me a D850 and I actually liked that better. I have 2 D750 at the moment that I use for social media hybrid work. I suppose I've got so used to using them. The only reason I was considered the Z6 was for continuing AF in video, but now I'm wondering how much Id actually use that technique.
That makes sense. It's so hard to switch once you're using to something. I was at a Panasonic even a week ago, and it was the first time I picked up a Panasonic camera, I felt like I didn't know how to use a camera.
i have both, a6400 much faster camera overall, quick and reliable af, very sharp with good glass like sigma, 4K result is outstanding.RP is slower obviously, better grip, way better screen quality, IMO better color and more pleasing IQ sooc and really good high ISO performance as well. Never use 4K on it since no dual pixel af but 1080p quality is really good.
ended up using RP more.
What do you mean by a6400 being faster and rp being slower?
@@Dzaen2 backlit sensor
why do people always forget manual focus exists
@@HistoryandReviews Because people compare camera performance and manual focus depends on you, not the camera. Maybe I am a bit late, but you have gotten your answer.
Why you ended using RP more if you like more the a6400?
P.D: What lenses do you mostly use on the RP and a6400?
Excellent review, thanks for sharing.
Thanks so much brother!
wow.... just amazing.... every single minute is informative👍
Excellent review...informative without being preachy.
Man, what a great review. Congrats!
Thank you so much - glad you liked it!!
Detailed and well elaborated, it actually helped me to decide one among these two cameras.Thanks! 👍🏻
Which did you choose? Just curious 😋

If thinking to start vlog then go for iphone pro max and if budget issue then iPhone mini. You will never regret.
Thanks for replying!
@@itsme_devverma Is it a good cam for portrait?
This channel has every info I need.. Thanks for the hardwork.. Which of the 2 camera would u go for street photography ?
Great review as always brother. I'm not gonna lie, after every review you upload, the Sony is attracting me more and more. Great work. 👍🏻👍🏻
It's a magical lure...
Thanks brother!
Thank you so much for great detailed videos
For picture purposes only , for a rookie starter , which one would you suggest ?
Thanks
Thanks for the video. It is really astonishing how the Sony 6400 holds up compared to the Canon RP, with this difference in price.
I think it did quite well. The new firmware update for the RP has been meaningful (plus a price drop).
Wow. Thank you, man! I was thinking which one to buy, and your video really helped me to made a decision!
Glad I could help! Thanks for being part of the channel!
Which one your desired to buy?
going with the RP, though it has less affordable RP lenses, i have a few efs and ef lenses so an adapter is sufficient and also reduces the overall cost of getting a new camera. it's a full-frame camera too so this provide a better wide-angle/low light features. thanks for the review!
Glad the video was helpful in your decision-making process!
The only problem of the 6400 is getting wide FOV unfortunately like any crop sensor. It’s kind of important for a lot of youtubers. It’s kind of impossible to get wide and blurred on crop sensors.
Interesting. Every video I've made in the past 3 years was shot on a crop sensor. I've never felt that it's a limiting factor. Of course I understand the FF could offer a shallower DOF but with the proper lenses and technique - a crop sensor has worked well for me. Even with inexpensive lenses like: th-cam.com/video/uORT1dfeS0M/w-d-xo.html thought?
The best review I see, Thanks
Thanks Mickey, glad you liked it!
Just subbed. No idea why it took me so long. I enjoy your content, quality and style. Thanks, I now need to binge and catch up!!!!!!!
Appreciate you joining 👍🏻
always on point and better than any review video out there. so thanks and keep it up. holla from indonesia (y)
I really appreciate you taking the time to watch and for the kind words. Thank you for joining the community Raffael 🙏
Always enjoy your reviews. They are clear and informative. The review is not 3 year old but still worth watching. I use my RP with the EF-EFS adapter so that I can use my Canon DSLR lenses. I did purchase the 24-195 kit lens and the 16mm lens. When using EFS lenses I get a vignette but if i use the crop setting in the RP it goes away. The one critique I have of the video is when you and many others use the profile shot and do not look at the camera! I have heard that it is to avoid viewer fatique. But in my view it is rude and I call it the rude profile. I think it is rude because if me and you were talking you would not look away. I know, it is some kind of filming technique but that does not make it right. I would presume a really progressive videographer would include a shoot of the back of the head! Why not? Aside from that vent, good video.
Great review, as I’ve been tossing up between each of these cameras. I have a question about the ability of using the a6400 as a streaming camera and it being powered while in use and not relying on battery life. Can you explain to me this feature as I have read conflicting information saying that the camera will not charge/rely on external power such as through USB and that a third party dummy battery and ac adapter is needed. Thank you.
Love your presentation!! The reviews and explanations are awesome and very helpful but I want to add that your presentation itself, pacing, examples and overall production value here is just so pleasing, relaxed sand informative. Well done and thank you
Thank you so much for watching and for taking the time to leave feedback. I'm grateful for your support 🙏
Very comprehensive video, I value touch screen, optical image stabilization and fantastic lowlight performance in any camera, thanks for making this video
Appreciate you watching
Another great review. Thanks Tech Gear
Thank you for the kind words and support as always 🙏
Both cameras are good at what they're offering. I'd not consider twice as my main goal is for compactness with video priority in mind. Therefore, a6400 is my best bet.
I agree with you that they are both good. If portability is a priority, the a6400 is a great choice.
Thanks for the excellent review. Re: Livestreaming on the RP. Will it also stop at 30 minutes even if you don't record your stream in camera? Also, if i set it to 4k when using as a webcam in meetings will it also crop and not be in full frame?
the rp will not stop when livestream at 30min.. livestream does not support 4k on any flatform.. max quality 1080p
Just got a a6400 really awesome God bless you man cool videos.
CONGRATS!!! I'm glad the videos are helpful.
Really good & detailed review!
Thank you so much for the kind words and support 🙏
Great review! Considering the updates and the price drop of the Canon eos RP, would you recommend the Canon over the Sony a6400? For photography and video.
Depends on what you need. I like the 120fps in the a6400 and the lower-cost lens options (sigma f/1.4 line). But the RP is also a nice way to get into a FF camera.
You can also go with a Sony A7II which can be found at a great price. I picked one up for $700 w a kit lens (brand new) during all the holiday sales and get an A6400 for video while sharing full frame lenses for both since the Emount works for both FF and APS-C
Great video! Is the RP better for landscape /outdoor photography compared to Sony? Does crop sensor work well for outdoor photography?
great content as always!
Just out of curiosity, what were you using to film this video? Looks really good. Thanks in advance!
Was using canon C100mkii
Hi thanks for the video ! i'm looking for a product photography camera (and the lens). I'm planning on getting a 100mm lens for the camera and thikning about to choose one of these two. And i'm a beginner. Which one would you suggest?
Tons of negative comment for RP
I bought mine (rp) with 22 to 70
2 months ago ,, I am very contented and happy with the results
( i am not a professional photog)
I came from 200d and 800d though and I can clearly see the difference
2 problems on my part with rp is 1. Auto white balance sucks ( have to always use gray card)
2. Having trouble with focus - have to get away from my subject
This is my first Full frame and
I mainly use it for videos
So overall, are you happy with it or are you going to switch?
@@TechGearTalk happy with the video quality
I am a person who doesnt sell equipments often
I will use this for more years :)
I'm super glad to hear that James. Glad you found something that works for you! Keep crushing it with content!
Haven't had any focus issues even with moving animals. With the 4770 focus points should be pretty fast. Other reviewers had no problem getting 400+ shots managing the camera.
Nice reviews. Thanks.
1st Question: Have any focusing problem EOS RP for still photography ?
2nd Question: can i get in body image stabilization ?
Great video. Thanks.
I still use my A6000 with a couple of Sigma primes. I don't go above ISO 1600 on the A6000. Lot of noise and reduction in sharpness. I crop a lot before posting on social media. Is the A6400 a decent upgrade over the A6000? Is it usable at ISO 3200? Thanks.
Awesome video. Someone finally explained the crop and presented a real life example. I’m just an amateur but ordered the RP.
I'm super glad it was helpful! Thank you for the kind words and for joining the community 🙏
😳😳 omg I'm really fan of particularly this two cameras and u uploaded it 🔥🔥🔥
Glad I could help! Thank you for being part of the channel!
Amazing video, loved it
Very detailed with sample videos and pics 👍 You should be hypnotist
Here in Canada, the EOS RP is at least $100 cheaper than the A6400 so now for me it's a no brainer... the video is very informative regardless, keep it up!
Glad it was helpful Christian! CONGRATS!
Thank you so much for the brilliant presentation and excellent teaching ability.
My question is: Would the weather protection be a game changer in favor of the sony a6400?
Loving my a6400... The amount of customisation is awesome.
Only con is that the lenses are REALLY expensive and the lack of bundled external charger.
Yup, you can do so much with it, it's crazy.
Lenses are expensive...
Which brand do you think has the cheapest lens option? It's such a waste when we can purchase the body but not the lenses 😅
@@Durio_zibethinus Canon (new lens are half the price of Sony lenses or less.. also tons of cheap used lens.
@@gokulsreekumar9181 how about fuji and m4t lenses?
which one should i buy ? for wedding cinematography & photography both ?
suggest lenses too
Fast forward to Jul 2020 here in Canada, bodies only are $1204.67 A6400 vs EOS RP $1199.99. For photography on budget, EOS RP. For videos, the A6400 might be better at least spec wise (can't tell as I have the RP). Body/handling + menu interface made me go for the RP plus ease of use right away
Nice analysis Christian!
I have a canon RP. However the RF lenses are too expensive, therefore I use my sigma 18-35 lens on the RP. But when I put on my sigma lens the megapixel & resolution takes 1.6 crop (according to the camera.) Does that really change the image quality & make that combo not usable? Because my 80D & M6 Mark ii both have better resolution and Megapixel than the RP & Sigma Combo. Please help me
I have a question : 1.how to get very good lo light and night photo in the Sony without Grain?
2. Can you do a video of the best setting for photography and filming in the Sony?pls
It would be great to see an update video on the RP, reveiwing the latest firmware update..
Very good idea. I'll see if I can get it done.
thanks man 😀
🙏
good day Sir, i do not know if you remember me but you helped me buy my first camera; the sl2 back in 2019 and now i am looking to buy another one but this time i am thinking the RP or the R. You did not let me down the last time and you did not now so thank you for the video and i will let you know when i buy my RP
For landscape photography which one do you recommend?
Now that they are closer in price, which one would you recommend for nature photography and low light photography?
13:19 Yes? Is there one available? You've mentioned that the RP performs better at low-light/noise due to it being full-frame, but you also mentioned that the image quality is better at a6400 because it shoots better at low-light? I'm slightly confused.
I’m upgrading from Canon Rebel, and I’m researching Canon RP and Sony A6100 and I’ve been conflicted on which on to choose. They seem so similar in specs I can’t tell the difference
What did u do then
I (want to) shoot mainly fantasy/night landscape photography. after watching this and a few of your other videos im down to these two and Nikon Z50... any advice, what will gove me the best nighttime photos do you think?

after this time that has elapsed. If you were to choose one of them with its kit lens, which one would you think is more complete for video and casual photos?

Thank for this video, I already suscribe... Keep working please...
You are very welcome! Thank you for all the support🙏. Good work on your channel!
Are you going to take another look at the RP since the release of the 1.4 firmware update? I’m hearing good things and it’s making me consider it over the a6400 and even the a7iii.
It's a much better option and value now - I wouldn't think twice if you like the feature set.
I got RP, with firmware updates it’s getting stronger for sure...the latest firmware is now 1.5.0 (in case you haven’t downloaded (only if you got rp 👍)
Yes interested in image quality comparison and with color grading.
Thank you for watching and for following up. Remind me what you're shooting with now.
It was an easy choice for me. I moved from Canon to Sony and have a wide compliment of Sony glass now. I have two a7II bodies and an a7III. I wanted something smaller for video so I grabbed an a6400. The camera is amazing and I’m so glad I got it. I would guess if you are still in the Canon camp the RP would make more sense. Either way they are both very useable cameras.
That's a serious lineup you've got Joe. I have only briefly used the a7ii but love my a7iii. Now I feel like I have exactly what I want for every job. Sometimes it's the a6400, sometimes it's the a7iii.
When shooting night time video with the 6400 what mode do you use and what settings? I tried a few videos in aperture priority with af-c on, iso and shutter at auto and 1.4 sigma lens set a 1.4 and a few instances the footage would slightly slow down. I use the The SanDisk Extreme Pro 170MB/s UHS-I U3 V30 so its not the card.
Hi. The issue is aperture priority. This video is for another camera but it should explain everything th-cam.com/video/RDs-Zzb0pmE/w-d-xo.html let me know if you still have questions.
One of my friend wants to buy either of these cameras. Currently they both are available for almost the same price. His need is travel shooting, kids and parties.
I’m torn between the a6400, a6600 , and eos rp. My primary uses are for portrait, nature photography, and occasional vlogging. I love the versatility of lense options for Sony vs canon. What is important to me is low light shooting, battery life, ease of use, versatility with different lense options, and compact size for travel. Help...please☺️
Listen from some one who has a Sony a6400; go for the Canon RP. I love my a6400 but its primarily for video features. I'm still going to buy the Canon RP because of Canon color science which I miss when it comes to photography.
Hey, awesome content man, best in depth out there. I have a kinda complicated question, im looking for a camera for shooting almost only stills (like 90%), of my family (1 yr old kid) and maybe some vacations. Since a lot of that is going to be indoors, i kinda need good low light, and also love a full frame camera. I’ve had the Canon eos R + 24-105 rf befor and i loved it. And i have also had the a6300 + sigma 1.4 primes, which i didnt think i could get the quality i wanted out of sometimes. Now, do i get the eos rp + 24-105 OR the a6400 with 2 sigma primes (16mm & 56mm). It’s about the same price, but is the rp that much worse than the R when only taking stills (taking new firmware into account aswell, which i didnt have on my Old R)? And will i even feel a difference with the a6400 over the a6300 i had and wasnt impressed with all the time? Woa long one, sorry 😅
So first, what happened to the R? I think if you're used to Canon, just grab the RP with an adapter and either use RF lenses, or less expensive EF lenses. I'm happy with the a6400 but I love the Canon color for jpegs.
I sold the R, which i kinda regret, just thought i had a bit more invested in a Camera than i maybe needed to have. So thought the rp were a good choice if it’s not so tuned down on the photography side as the video is. The plan were to get the 24-105 for versatility, but i dont know if the a6400 with a few primes would be the better option. It’s the same price, so guess im leaning towards the rp 🤔
Also, it’s absolutely awesome you take the time and effort to answer these comments! 100% a new sub here 👌
Glad I can be of any help. I would honestly stick with the RP. 2 lenses instead of 1 already means you need to carry an extra lens. Sure, they open wider than the Canon which would be helpful in low light - but I don't know if that will be significant. Best gear is the gear you have with you!
its was a really helpful video. I was edging towards the rp but now I think I will go for the a6400. just 1 question, I am really into landscape photography and I was wondering whether the full frame of the rp would have made a big difference in terms of image details?
Hi there. I wouldn't worry about the FF of the RP. You can get amazing landspace photos with the a6400. Check out the sigma 16mm. I used it in this video with the a6100 (same sensor) th-cam.com/video/oim6v2zDQM0/w-d-xo.html
@@TechGearTalk thank you... really helped me ease my mind. will check it out now.
@@TechGearTalk For a portrait picture which camera should I buy?
Are there cons for the RP not having a built in flash? I’m deciding between these 2 cameras and coming from a Nikon d5100- which had a built in flash.
I look at it as a function of how much you actually use that flash. For me, when I need light, it's always off-camera, so it's not a big deal. But this is really because of how I use the camera. Thoughts?
Very helpful video
I look through the description but didn’t see the link for the item you use with the eos to to record and charge at the same time
Hi. Do you mean this? th-cam.com/video/TOpsG_jlEbU/w-d-xo.html
if your focus is video for wedding events go to sony for low light capability,. ergonomics is not important if your focus videographer because you'll be using stabilizer and lighter camera is much better for wedding events. but if your main focus is photography go to canon, its offers more lenses and cheaper lense,. compared to sony. of course if your buying RF lenses that is much more expensive, but it offers futuristic features and very advance lense compared to other lenses. but you can still use adapter for older lenses that was very cheap.
Good insight Kenji
Full frame is full frame. There are looks on the full frame that can't be replicated on an APS-C sensor no matter how good that cropped sensor is. As a photography camera, the RP is great. I wouldn't get it for video (because of how it doesn't have DPAF in 4K). I have the EOS R and love it so much for both photography and video. My secondary camera is the 6D2 and the RP wasn't enough of a change to consider switching my secondary.
I really liked the R. A lot of people gave it a really tough time when it first came out and I'm not sure why. I address that in my first impressions video of the EOS R.
I can totally see not upgrading from the 6D2 (another great camera) to the RP.
Do you use RF lenses or adapter EF?
I'm strictly using the control ring EF adapter with EF and EF-S lenses. Such a nice ability to use both EF and EF-S lenses. The 10-18 mm EF-S has image stabilization and all EF-S lenses are budget friendly. The control ring is amazing, and I can't imagine not having the control ring anymore. I haven't purchased any RF lenses yet because they're so expensive. I did try them out and they're beautiful. But out of budget for now. My next lenses are 70-200 (which will be RF), a 35 mm 1.4 (which will hopefully be RF), and a macro lens (mostly likely the 100 mm EF one). I do want to get the ND filter adapter as well. However, it's disappointing to know that I will be losing the control ring when using the ND filter adapter. The other disappointment is knowing that the ND filter adapter doesn't come with a clear filter so the idea of having to swap adapters is pretty bad.
Sounds like you've put a lot of thought into this - I like it!
@@onlysublime the downside that ND adapter doesn't work with RF glass, if by any chance ND filter was built in, that would be a game changer.
"Full frame is full frame" Your comment which is completely true is also a little misleading as obviously there is a point where a Full Frame camera will be able to get a shallower DOF that the APS-C cannot match unless you can find a lens with a super small f-stop but in general if you calculate the crop factor you can get the same image, both field of view and DOF in a APS-C camera.
i.e. FF 75mm @ f2.8 produces the the same image as APS-C (1.5x crop) 50mm @ f1.8 - you would also have different ISO settings to match exposure.
Of this two cameras, which do you consider for going on adventures and taking graduation pictures?
Both would do great. Sony is smaller and lighter
Comparing to to the current a6600, which one would u recommend for photography and videography
I wanted the RP but was 600 bucks short when I needed a new camera and settled for the SL3 and I don’t hate it def an upgrade from my t3 but mirrorless is the future. Great video 🤘🏻
I can totally see that. $600 buys a lot of accessories. Hopefully the SL3 serves you well and then you upgrade only when absolutely needed. Thank you for the kind words Josh!
Tech Gear Talk yeah so far it’s served me well just ordered an SL2 battery grip and hopefully it fits but that the 24mm 2.8 2 spare batteries a pack of screen protectors and polarized filter later I’m still under the price of just the body of the rp let alone the adapter lol
I think you got an amazing value. You can add the 50 1.8 and still be under.
Tech Gear Talk lol had the old 50 1.8 II and I did get the stm version actually lol had to have the quiet(er) focusing motor
Ah, is your mic on camera? Did you go with the 1.4?
Great review
Glad I could help. Thanks for being part of the channel 🙏
With the new firmware update, which one would you prefer? In the past week I’ve been leaning towards the RP but recently I’ve been seeing a lot of great photos from the a6400 since I mainly take photos (with a little video). I do like the canon R results as well as the a7iii but those are wayyy too expensive for me so it came down to these two lol
If you're only doing photos, you may be able to get by with the a6100, same image quality: th-cam.com/video/oim6v2zDQM0/w-d-xo.html What do you think?
Tech Gear Talk I’ve been leaning towards Sony but the color science and the fact that it’s a little too small of a body with a lot of buttons holds me back a bit. My budget is 1000-1200 and as of right now the RP is back up to 1200 I believe which bums me out, should I save up to buy one of the higher end Sony’s or canons?
Only spend more if you need the features th-cam.com/video/TrAe8XaYwwY/w-d-xo.html
the image quality of your videos is mindblowing.
Thank you for the kind words 🙏 Thanks for being part of the channel!
I’m going to take a lot more photos but want to be able to vlog or shoot b-roll if we go on a trip, and I don’t know which to choose. A lot more photos of, nature, street, and automotive. And have good video capabilities when I need them
Lovely as always keep it up
Glad you liked it! Thank you so much for the support and encouragement.
Watching your videos Gave me the idea now iam going to buy me first camera which is SL2 Thank you Again
Oh wow, that's awesome. Congratulations!!! Le tme know how you like it when you get it
Yeah i just ordered the camera today i Will get it in a few days Peace ✌
So fun!
Good job 👍🏻 keep it up bro
Thank you so much 🙏 I will keep doing my best
Just bought the a6400 over the canon rp, because of wildlife photography (focal length). Thank you for your tips!
how is a6400 handles videography?
@@sahindavidoff3098 videography is superb. Of course you need the right lenses (with stabilisation). If you don‘t like to work with tripots, you‘d be better adviced with the sony a6600, which has IBIS - just for a better performance without a tripot. Rolling shutter is there, but no factor for wildlife in my eyes.
@@TravelDigitalNomad but 6600 is a little bit expensive😂
Thank you for the informative and detailed comparison. I honestly think this would be helpful for someone starting out with their first dive in. I only say that because me for instance, I have $4000 in Sony lenses and that's not much considering how much Sony lenses cost. Meaning if you are invested, you would have to keep or sell and start all over again. However always remember that you don't need either of these cameras but the one you own to take great photos and make great videos.
Totally agree. I also believe in investing in an ecosystem more than a body. Appreciate your thoughtful contribution to the community 🙏🏻
You are appreciated sir, thank you 🙏🏽
👊🏻
Firstly, great video as always. Thank you for taking the time to do this.
Im pretty new. I was under the impression a full frame camera would do better in low light and have greater dynamic range. But in this case it seems like the APS-c is better in low light. I really want to focus more on artistic low light portrait photography. Am I right in thinking the Sony a6400 would be the better option?
Thank you for the kind words. A lot of this depends on how people use the term "low light". As an advice, I would always say "adding light is your best option" (see this video: th-cam.com/video/q2hs8BOTXb4/w-d-xo.html ) What is the use case you are planning for when you say "low light portrait photography". Is it truly where there isn't enough light, or where you use light creatively to light a portion of the subject?
I just want to point out how rude it was of you to not respond back.
I currently have a Canon 6D, which is really showing it's age. Having a REALLY hard time between these 2 cameras. The only lense I have for Canon, is the nifty fifty, so not super invested. I primarily shoot my family, and getting tired of out of focus shots while playing games with my kids. I'm nervous about going crop sensor after having full-frame, but good pictures is most important to me... any suggestions on which would be better here? Thanks - your videos are oustanding!
Thanks for the kind words. Both will work really well for you. Check out this camera if you’re not locked on canon or Sony, it’s one of my favorites th-cam.com/video/nVLe9FPUV7s/w-d-xo.html
Hello I’m a new subscriber, would the RP be a good camera for vlogging and streaming? I like the wide angle look on TH-cam videos and for photography I like landscape shoots from my hikes
Did u not watch the video?
Hey sir can i ask which is better for a portrait, fashion and wedding photography. So sony a6400, sony a7ii or the canon rp ? Thank you so much and btw your vid is the only one who talks honestly and give that much info about both of camera.
All three would do a great job. I like the handling on the RP the best. You sure you want to spend $ on full frame glass?
