Comparing the Sony a6400 and the Fuji X-T30 for both photography and video was a ton of fun. These are two of the newest and most popular beginner mirrorless cameras from Sony and Fuji and they offer an outstanding value.
There are many similarities and some important differences between the two mirrorless cameras, so I will cover the strengths and weaknesses of the #a6400 and the #xt30 for both photography and video, and compare everything from body type, framerate and resolution, autofocus, lens options, audio features, and ergonomics.
I will also look at the #sony a6400 and the Fuji X-T30 in terms of battery life, timelapse, viewfinders, LCd screen and recording limit.
And finally, let’s see if we can decide which camera is best for you.

Man, you're the best reviewer on the tube... It must take you so much labour to put it all together with such detail! Kudos...
Oh wow, thanks Emiliano. Yes, it takes me a long time and a lot of work to put these together, which is why I don't publish as much as I want to. I'm glad the they are helpful and appreciate the support!
Picked up an X-T30 with all accessories but no box or manual for $480 with only 10 shots. What a great photography tool.

What's up everyone?! I hope this comparison of the Sony A6400 and the Fuji X-T30 with sample footage and images is helpful. These are two of my favorite beginner 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 🙏
Waiting to see setup video @50k subs ...
Now enjoying the comparison : )
Thank you for this comparison. Thorough as always. So good! I appreciate your effort, and time put into this video. A big help in the sea of available cameras. I’ll be using the affiliate link when I’m ready to purchase.
Thanks Akshay, it'll be a little late because I'm going out of town for a week. But I'm almost done with it.
I have mentioned before how relaxing I find your voice. You talk slowly, but purposefully, and that really makes the difference. So many youtubers umm and uh and stutter and go back on themselves but you just talk calmly to the point in your own pace and I love it.
This review/comparison was top notch. I am getting into photography and I even had purchased the Sony Xperia 1 ii and was planning on getting a Sony camera to stay in the ecosystem. Having said that, you brought up two things that are important to me, the quality of the image and the availability of alternate glass. Being a beginner and not having much knowledge in post touchups I need all the help I can get. So the X-T30 is the one for me.
Thank you very much.
Thank you so much for this comparison! I've been agonizing for months over which of these to pick. If I look at it purely objectively, the a6400 ticks more boxes for me, especially in video. But I keep coming back to the XT-30 because I have a slight preference for the Fuji color science and I think the silver top color scheme is so pretty it gets me excited to take the camera out and shoot. As a beginner, that might be a big factor for me. I think I'll rent them before making a final decision.
You're very welcome. Makes sense to me about either renting or going to a store and trying both. Thanks for being part of the channel!
@@TechGearTalk I actually ended up getting the XT-3 since it's now only $100 more than the 30. Score! Unfortunately I couldn't use your affiliate links because they were out of stock on both sites and didn't want to wait 2-8 weeks, but I'll be sure to use them for lenses because your channel has been a huge help and I'd like to pay it back a little.
Awesome, in-depth review ! I've been really scouring google articles, websites, TH-cam, Reddit, even instagram to see what mirrorless cameras I should consider (March, 2020) and i really think this video reassured me that my choice to save up for an X-T30 was the right one. Thanks again for the awesome video! I'll be checking out the individual reviews as well.
I'm really glad that you found this video and that it was helpful. I absolutely love the X-T30 and am excited to hear what you think if you get it. Let me know what you think of the individual videos as well.
Which one would be better for vloggers/youtubers or to take portrait pictures / amateur ig pictures? Like for beginners who don't really know much about photography, videography and post production?
I'm not up on cameras a whole lot but the Sony would probably be better because of the no time limit recording
Thank you for the exhaustive review. This is very helpful. Your time & effort is highly appreciated.
Thank you for taking the time to watch and for the kind words 🙏🏻
Excellent video! I did this exact comparison about a month ago and went for the a6400 as it has some weather sealing. Also I like the auto focusing a bit more as it works so well while taking pictures of my kids. Both are excellent cameras but the weather sealing just gives me a bit more peace of mind when I'm out shooting.
That makes sense to me. That's a real differentiator. I'm surprised that Fujifilm doesn't at least say "weather resistant"
@@TechGearTalk I presume that it would boost the price of the Fuji a bit. Weather sealing (specifically full weather sealing) is mostly found on high end cameras as I found out while deciding what would be right for me :( ). That is why I was pleasantly surprised to see the a6400 has a some weather sealing which made the decision a lot easier!
good point
Can you please review fujifilm xs10? I love your videos informative and fun to watch
This would be great! I am currently looking for a new camera and can not decide between the a6400 and the fuji x-s10. The AF is better on the Sony, while the X-S10 has the IBIS - a pretty hard decision.
same!!!
@@lukenaphatsath4399 I bought the Sony and very happy with the decision! A Sigma 16mm 1.4 is already in my bag as well - amazing package!
What did you guys go for?
I've been watching too much "TECH GEAR TALK" videos for the past few days that I don't know what camera to buy anymore. Lolz...
I’m a complete newbie with anything regarding cameras and i love your videos, you explain everything so clearly making a complete dummy like me understand everything :D , you also helped me a lot with deciding what camera to buy as my first
i chose the sony 6400 because it’s slightly more compact and seems more ergonomic and because of the the video/selfie advantages (most important not having a limit on video recording) and also that it has a flip screen!
thanks a lot! keep making these awesome videos!
I’m super glad that the videos are helpful. Congrats on picking a camera and thanks for joining the community.
Should’ve went Fuji! Jk, how do you like it? Are you still with Sony?
I went with the 6100, but recently got a Fuji x100f and I LOVE my Fuji! Been thinking of getting a xt2,3, or xt20,30.
Hey, Segi. Great review man. I couldn't decide which one to buy. I want to get into the Sony ecosystem, with the goal being buying the a7riv for landscape photography and events. However I love fuji and simulations. I think I'll just get both.
Great content man, please keep it coming. Hope the family is well.
You just solved the age-old questions of "what's better" with a simple "I'll get both"
Since that's the case, I could really use a Sigma 150-600 Contemporary for EF mount 😂🤣
Seriously though, these are great cameras and I'm curious about your thoughts so swing by and let me know when you get them.
Appreciate you checking in on the family - we are doing well - thank you.
Hope you and your loved ones are healthy and safe. Sagi.
Damn.....The quality of your videos are phenomenal.You have earned a subscriber☺️
I'm super glad it was helpful! Thank you for the kind words and for joining the community 🙏 Appreciate the kind words!
Hands down best comparison - and I think I watched almost all YT videos comparing these cameras. Thanks for the great work - especially the strengths summary at the end.
I already bought the A6400, for photo and vlogging, waiting to be delivered today or tomorrow, but I’m still unsure if I made the right purchase: I like the more intuitive interface of Fuji, color science, better lens (I guess...?) and the fact that they pay more attention to firmware improvements; on the other hand Sony offers vertical-flip screen, no rec time limit, no heating issues, and slightly better AF. I’m a bit inclined towards Fuji because for someone that is just starting in photography like me the more intuitive interface seems to be important - but at the same time I do plan to use it for long videos.
Questions:
1) Could you show us the option of recording on Fuji using external device? I didn’t get it, you connect a USB drive to the camera...? (If that’s the case it would be a perfect workaround for me, because for long videos I’ll always be in-house)
2) I’d love a comparison side by side of both cameras, same stills and videos - because my impression is that the photos you took with the Fuji are more beautiful, maybe because you were more “inspired” by the equip? :-)
3) Any tips, ideas, suggestions to help me with my dilemma? For now my plan is to just use the A6400 for a few months and see what happens, but I’m really considering the Fuji “system”
did you end up loving the 6400
Thank you for helping me make my first camera purchase! keep up the great work! You definitely earned a new subscriber.
Glad I could help! Thanks for being part of the channel!
Very helpful advice on them both, thank you. You have also taken really professional shots with them which are very impressive 👍
Wow! Great detailed comparison! Your channel is a hidden gem! I hope you reach 1 million+ subscribers! I would love it if you do a follow up comparison in a couple months or a year to see which camera held up better.
I'm super glad it was helpful! Thank you for the kind words and for joining the community 🙏 I can definitely do that in 2020.
Hello :)! What 'ld you choose for 1. Tracking down birds in a distance (photography). 2. Macro, most times inside forests (wild mushrooms) 3. Moving with the camera and keep an object in focus (Video)
Great job btw :)
Thanks for a great in-depth review. It's funny that in 2021, looking at a 2019 review still has huge relevance. I want to replace my travel compact camera and am not rushing in to do so. A small, entry to mid level mirrorless camera, like the ones you have reviewed here, may well be a better option that going Canon G5x Mk II or the Sony RX100 VII. Sure there is the interchangeable lens issue, but a kit lens (16-50 or 18-55) will still do the job cost effectively, with possibly a better camera. So thanks a lot. I am a Canon user, but looking at Sony or Fuji, instead of the EOS M50 Mk II, is certainly worth thinking about. Lastly, would you place the Nikon Z50 in the mix when comparing with Sony and Fuji?? Or would it take 3rd place overall? Thanks again.
If you want to be frustrated at some point with AF and image quality go with xt30. If not go to a6400
This video is so good that it is almost too good : ) I get so much information that ...
That is super nice of you to say 🙏 I'm really happy that it was helpful.
Are these options better than the iPhone 12? I was told multiple times all I need for awesome photos is to know how to use the iphone 12
Watching your video before buying today, thanks for the review!
If I don't subscribe after watching this video in full, I don't deserve TH-cam. What a review mate! Subbed for life ..
🤣😂 super appreciate the kind words and you being part of the channel.
thank you for your effort and the video. Can you tell me which one is better for the begginer? ❤️
Would it be accurate to say xt30 is geared more towards photographers while the A6400 would suit better for youtubers?
Great review man, i subscribed to your channel mounth ago! I wanted to buy this week a6400, but just saw your video and now you made it harder for me too decide. I read most of the comments and really appreciate your effort you put in, the only thing i would like to know and didnt find the answer anywhere is which camera is easier to control. I like the manual control buttons on Fuji, i guess is much easier to control iso, shutter, focus when you are video recording and make fast changes! What do you think? What i look in the camera is to make videos with cinematic look, what lens would you suggest for that cinematic look and what gimbal would you suggest me. My budget is somewhere around good 2000 dollars!
Hi there and welcome to the channel. Once you learn about how the Fuji controls work, you'll be good to go. I think the Sony is easier to control because the buttons and dials are a little more intuitive right off the bat. If you need unlimited recording -> sony. If you need to power the camera via usb -> sony.
For the first lens, I always recommend you start with: th-cam.com/video/z-x-d-K9Jfw/w-d-xo.html Hope that helps!
Hey Sagi. Quick question
What lenses did you use for the Sony and the Fuji? It would be helpful to see which would be more expensive.
Thanks
I am currently contemplating between below camera,
Usage: 90%travelling(cinematic video) 20% wedding/events close up shots.
1. Sony A6400
2. Fujifilm Xt30
3. Fujiflim Xt20 - kit lenses and 55-230mm
XT30 is the most expensive between these 3, Im interested in Sony as well but the varieties of lens can be bit expensive if im not mistaken for Sony rather than fuji lens and for XT20 is the cheapest and you get that extra lense but i’m not sure if it stills relevant for 2020. If i may ask for your thoughts for this, that would be great sir! 🙏🏻
I would get the X-T30 - it is an amazing camera and you will not regret it. There are a lot of fast primes available, and it's small and portable. Also, Eterna color profile is fantastic. Just start with the kit lens 18-55mm It will be plenty for what you will need most of the time. Hope this was helpful.
Tech Gear Talk thanks for the response! Followed yr advice too on holding these camera, Went to the store and hold these three, and i took home XT30! Might be getting aftermarket grip too ! Thank you!
Oh wow, so excited for you!!! Let me know how it works out.
Good review sir.
As professional videographer, which one will you recommend for me?
Or should I rather go for X-T3, for I love 4k at 60p?
That X-T3 is my favorite aps-c camera (until the X-t4 th-cam.com/video/ePL0AtSkhQo/w-d-xo.html )
Hi bro which is best budget f1:8 prime lense for my sony a6400?
Hi. That depends on what you're shooting. Most people go with the 50mm. The 85 is also good if you're ok with the longer focal length. If you need something wider, the 20mm is really nice. There is also a 35mm with is close to a 50mm on full frame. Then you have to choose whether you want to pay extra for OSS. Hope that helps.
Please make the image quality comparison, it will really help me decide which one to buy for Christmas!
Let me see what I can do about it. What would you use it for?
@@TechGearTalkthank you so much for your reply! I do mostly portraits, travel and street. (I don't do videos, animals, sports or landscapes). I'm an amateur but still pretty serious about my hobby. I'm upgrading from Nikon D3300 because I need better performance in low light, and in general better image quality, sharpness and dynamic range. But I still need something portable, compact, with a built-in flash and viewfinder because I hate carrying around lots of stuff when I travel. Affordable native lenses, usb charging and weather sealing are also very welcomed features. But the most important things for me are: PORTABILITY (light, compact) and IMAGE QUALITY especially in low light.
I'm currently trying to decide between FUJI XT30, SONY A6400 and NIKON Z50.
Thank you so much for your help!
I'll have the Z50 soon so I will be able to give you some insight. I would go with the X-T30 (of the ones you mentioned). I love the Fuji color, it's a pleasure to shoot stills with, there are affordable AND SMALL fast primes. If you ever want weather proofing, you can upgrade to the X-T3.
@@TechGearTalk ok, I'll wait for your Z50 review before I buy then. Thank you!
Ok, it may be at least a month (I like to use the cameras for a while before reviewing them).
You’re the best I’ve ever seen.
Thank you
Oh wow, thank you so much. Glad the video was helpful - appreciate the kind words and you joining and supporting the channel!
The perfect video that I was looking for. Couldn't be any better. SUBBED!!!
Getting the Sony A6400. I’m more interested in video and the no time limit for 4K/30 is great. The Fuji has a time limit of 10 minutes at 4K/30.
Great comparison. Will some of the new features on the xt30 ii make up for some of its deficiencies. Would like to see an updated comparison on these two.
Hi, what mirrorless options would you recommend when upgrading from a g7x mark 2 for landscape/travel? Looked at MFT sensor options but not sure if I would see much benefit in image quality?
Hi! This was a fantastic video, but I am still torn between these two. Hoping you can help me out. I am a beginner and my uses for photography will be : landscapes, portraits, and travel. For video , I’d like to be able to do vlogs and just general TH-cam content (med school/medicine content. Which camera would you suggest ?
Hi and thank you. These are both incredible cameras for the price. If you’re a beginner, I would also look at: th-cam.com/video/Nir8pfvfdFI/w-d-xo.html which will be the easiest to use.
Of the original 2 I probably like the x-t30 a little better - but that is a personal preference, they are both fantastic.
Tech Gear Talk regarding the cannon m6 mark 2, I’ve read that the 4K video quality isn’t that great compared to the Fuji and Sony. However in your video, the quality looks decent. What are your thoughts on that? Also how bad is the rolling shutter on the a6400? I’ve read a few people complaining about it
The M6MKII isn't "as good" as the Fuji or Sony, but it's plenty good for what I use it for (I'm not shooting the next starwars here). I normally look at overall user experience once I get beyond an acceptable level of quality. Does that make sense?
As far as rolling shutter - I don't really fling my camera in fast pans, so it's never really been an issue for me.
My objective is record enterviews, but people say 4K is not really necessary, full hd is ok. What do you recommend in my case, Sony or Fujifilm?
I would say the sony + sigma combo ends up being significantly more appealing is you're looking for bang for the buck. Fuji's better video quality, controls, and film simulations are really REALLY tempting... But the fuji system is pretty locked down to fuji lenses, which are awesome but twice or three times the price to the also awesome sigmas.
The Sigma lenses are definitely a great option. I think there are still low-cost options from Fuji, but I'm waiting for Sigma to make the 16,30,56 1.4 in an X-mount!!!
Tech Gear Talk from what i’ve seen in b&h, not really a lot of third party options for fuji x mount that are fast and offer electronic controls, if sigma went to x mount it would be a done deal. Again, this is talking about bang for the buck... because Fuji certainly has awesome quality lenses, just too closely priced to full frame lenses imo... Which for me defeat one of the two mayor reasons for going aps-c (price, the other being size)
I totally get that - makes a lot of sense. Super appreciate you sharing your insight!
Not anymore, with the Sigma x mounts out..
I didnt expect that Fuji is so good. I want to buy a camera as a beginner mostly for photos and sometimes videos. I lean mostly towards Sony and lately also Fuji but it can be another brand too.
I have some options: Sony a6400 , Fuji XT30 , Fuji XT20
For me important:
+ to take photos from fast objects/animals/sport
+ to have more options to find better/more affordable lenses
+ ease of use
+ touch screen for focussing
+ better app/connection to smartphone
+ to have 4k ( not so important, can be with 10 minutes limit )
Which of these cameras do you recommend? Or do you have another recommendation?
both the a6400 and x-t30 would do a great job. If the 10 minute limit is not an issue, I personally enjoy using the x-t30 for photography better.
@@TechGearTalk thanks for replying. I appreciate your help. I had both cameras in my hand and would say A6400 has much better feeling. probably i get a6400
That is a very important step. Let me know how it works out!
@@TechGearTalk Hi,
this is my second day with my sony a6400 with the 16-50mm kit lens. I must say that I’m very beginner with little knowledge. I set the camera up with a setup guide from a youtuber. It’s totaly fine.
I compared it to my smartphone Pixel 3 and these are my thoughts about a6400 with 16-50. You may notice that Im beginner and use 16-50mm kit lens.
Maybe can I help anyone that want to buy a camera as a beginner.
Pros:
+ a little bit sharper photo with good light conditions
+ better/ more realistic colors
+ better for fast objects ( cars, children, animals etc. )
Cons:
- the sharpness is not enough to say much better then Pixel 3
- night photos are not even close to the night sight of Pixel 3
My conclusion:
• for now there is only one reason for me as advantage from camera against smartphone and it is to be able to take photos from fast objects
• for me there is no reason to buy any camera if you dont want to learn about photography or dont have enough time. ( I think ) you should be ready to buy extra lenses to maximize your results. Another thing you should consider is photo editing , which costs money and time. Yes, photography is an expensive hobby but I would test the camera for now with kit lenses and with free editing softwares.
Maybe it’s better to have a compact camera like RX100 VII instead as beginner. For now Im not sure what should I do :)
Good feedback. I agree, if you're not going to learn about photography - a phone is good enough. The phone is doing all the work for you (but it is restricted by a much smaller sensor). You could take excellent night photos with your camera (with the correct settings) but again, that requires understanding exposure. The phone (once again) does computational photography so it's a completely different process.
Awesome review! I’m currently deciding between these two and can’t really pick. I’m only shooting stills on my Nikon D5100 and no specific type really, I enjoy shooting landscapes to portraits. I’m considering getting a XT30 kit with both a XC 15-45 and 50-230mm lens included or just go with the 18-55mm XF Lens. I’m also kind of partial to the design of the Fuji. I also want to use this camera for years before I replace it, so the potential of lens upgrade for a reasonable cost is important. What are your thoughts?
I would get the X-T30 for what you're describing. It's such an impressive camera. I honestly can't see you being disappointed with any aspect of it - especially because you like the design.
Fuji should be a better known brand, I don’t know why they’re so forgotten. Thanks for the review, I think Im getting the Fuji.
OMG - I've been saying this for 2 years now. I blame their marketing. Fuji is the most underrated brand in photography/video right now.
Which is a better buy for beginner vloggers requiring to take great pictures. Between Sony A6400 & Fujifilm XT200 when the latter is cheaper by about USD 250.?
Great comparison video! Just enough detail and loved the example photos. What camera are you using for the video review, the quality is awesome?
Thanks for the kind words Robert! Appreciate you watching and joining the channel. Here is all my gear: th-cam.com/video/Knqufkb35kY/w-d-xo.html
Very nicely compared video.
I have to say the way you deliver facts and way of explaining detailed features is remarkable. Very nicely captured photos. Your reviews are helpful. Keep the spirit going. Best wishes
Thanks Ajay! I'm glad the video was helpful - I will keep creating!
What is your reccomendation for a beginner like me, point and shoot. No editing tools.🙂
Very nice video, you have a vey pleasant way to explain !
Thank you for the kind words and support.
Hi there. First of all, great video. I´m torn between the Sony a6400 or FujiFilm x-t30. How is the Sony a6400 for traveling, landscape and portraits? I will be filming too, but not sure how much. So, it would be great with a camera, that can do videography.
Xt30 is a steal but it has time limit. Not that I need one but it’s useful for videography.
It's a fantastic body for sure.
Amazing video. Very thorough and well detailed.
I DO have a question..
I'm investing in a camera that will mostly be used to capture video clips in low-light; mostly street photography and nature; nothing too focus oriented. I REALLY love the low-light capabilities of the Fujifilm, but the flip screen from the Sony is enticing. It's hard for me to rationalize the flip screen over the Fujifilm as a whole package.... but imagining the ease of use is killin me T_T
Hi! And thank you for your informative video! I have a question. I mainly shoot my 1/6 scale figures in my light box, can you help to decide which one of these should i get?
Would it make sense to move from a Nikon D3200 to a Fujifilm X-T30 or X-T200? I like photography and like to try also some complex shots with low light or high exposures and the Nikon can't keep up anymore.
Excellent comparison. Keeping my a6400 based on the no 4K recording limit.
That makes sense to me.
Hi Sagi, great comparison video - thanks. I wanted to know; if you'd pick one for some amateur astrophotography, which would it be?
Thank you for your videos. They are very well organized - your professionalism is very inspiring.
I'm on a hunt to purchase a camera and your suggestion would be highly valuable to me.
One fundamental question - what is the difference between say a budget camera like Canon M50 and a highly expensive camera like Canon 5D? Is it that the expensive cameras have better sensors? If so, why are they better and expensive - are these sensors very hard to manufacture or use expensive raw materials? Thanks
Hope this was helpful. Good question - I'll have to do a full video about that.
IMAGES - XT30
VIDEO - Sony A6400
All rounder - nikon Z50
I don't hate that
Getting my very first camera soon and there are the two cameras I'm torn between. I've been doing my homework and research for over 2 months and these hit the spot for me. I'm torn between deals. I can get the Sony + 16-50 kit for 930 euro
And the Fuji + 18-55 kit for 1270
Someone has advised me to get Fuji over Sony because the lenses are overall great quality and cheaper than Sony, so I don't know what to do. What's your opinion?
What would you recommend as an upgrade for video from a d3500 with kit lenses? Would a better lens help ?
Thanks for the review. As far as I know. Fujifilm JPEG is another league. I am shooting with Fujiifilm recipes.
: SOOC pics are amazing.
Hi! I'm thinking of going into photography at university, which camera would you recommend?...I am leaning towards the Fuji due to the colours but do love Sony's full frame cameras
Love your vids!!
I would go and use both cameras in a store. See which feels better.
Great video you made. Helped me a lot to understand both camera systems. My heart longs for the X T30. But I want to move to full frame from APS C in future. So is there any issue if I buy Sony full frame lenses and use those on Alpha 6400? Don't know if this is a foolish question.. I'm a very beginner. Thanks.
You can definitely do that and then upgrade the body in the future!
Maan I’m beat! This video is exactly what I’m looking for, but niw I’m way more confused on which to go.
Currently using an A5100 + 50mm oss, I work with a creative agency and would kill for that a6400 unlimited recording time.
But, the Fuji just looks so enticing, especially that film simulation thing. I can see how useful it is.
Still, great vid! Subbed!
Glad it was helpful! both are great options for sure. Thanks for being part of the channel!
my first DSLR was a sony but Fujifilm and it's unique design and film simulation won me over.
Hello. As a beginner with the A6400, what starter lens would you recommend to use? Thank you and great video.
Hi, thanks for the awesome reviews. I’ve been using a canon digital rebel for the past few months, and it’s not easy to edit the images in post. I’m considering either the a6400, xt30, eos RP, or the m50. All of these are great cameras and I’m torn.I like to do many different types of photography, and I’m planning on buying a camera for the long run that I can use to eventually start a business. I’d like to buy a cheap camera, but the value for the money matters more. What camera would you recommend? Thank you
Although all are good options, the X-T30 is my favorite camera of those 4 for photography. I love the user experience and the fuji color. Spend the money on lenses - they make all the difference!
Thanks! Also, is the xt30 grip as bad as it looks? I don’t have huge hands, but that grip is absolutely tiny.
Yes, it's pretty small. SmallRig makes a grip for the X-T30 which works great!
Thanks! I’ll check that out
🙏
you deserve 2-3 million subscribers..love from india..please make image quality comparison between canon sl2 and a 6400 sony...
Thank Prince - appreciate you spreading the word! I will see what I can do about that video.
My opinion definitely I choose Sony A6400 is better than Fuji and the new version a6600 is great with better battery and body stabilization too. thank you for you video.
Appreciate you watching and sharing your choice!
Trying to decide between the two, here is what I need:
Novice level, using for travel, landscapes, family pics, portrait shots and of course my dog:-).
I travel to Scotland frequently, so there tends to be a good amount of rain and mist?
Video not my main concern but will do some…time limit is not an issue.
I will do some photo editing in LR, but I'm hoping for the best AF and point and shoot.
Which camera would best suit my needs between these two and which (lower cost) lenses should I purchase?
Thank you!
I prefer the images right out of the X-T30 better than those of the a6400.
As far as lenses, here is what I recommend for a first lens: th-cam.com/video/z-x-d-K9Jfw/w-d-xo.html (in your case the 18-55 2.8-4)
Very detailed comparison between both cameras in every aspect possible ! Can you suggest lens for the architectural photography ( interior and exterior ) for Fuji xt30 ? Also which lens is used in the video for the footages and stills of fujifilm xt30 ?
Glad you enjoyed the video. I used the 16-55mm f/2.8 with the Fuji. That is a great all around lens and the one that I would buy if I was just getting one lens. It will work great for architectural photography because is wide and fast. Welcome to the channel!
Is the mechanical control the only way to change settings on the xt30 or could be done also on screen? Thanks and very useful video, a new follower here.
Hi, do you think these sensor have a significant improvement compared to sony a6000? Thanks
Which is best for wildlife photography ?
I am totally don't between Sony a6400 Fujifilm xt3 canon 90d.I intend to take more pictures of sceneries, wildlife and children. . . . I might take a few videos. But my priority is always photography. . .. . Which one will you suggest. 6400 with 18 to 135 and 90d also similer lens. Xt3 comes with 16-55i think. Can't spend more on lens as of now for few months or so. . .. . Please suggest
For photography, the X-T3 would be what I would pick
Excellent video as always, which of these cameras have more native and third party lens options, also cheaper lens range.
The Sony has "more". Fuji lenses are cheaper than Sony lenses, but sony third party are cheaper than fuji native.
Awesome reviews bro. . .. nice work . . . Keep it up
Thanks, will do!
Were the photos you posted taken with the stock lens kit? or have you used for both of the best performing lenses that you already had? Thanks 😄
great comparison, thanks so much. i bet your yelp reviews are fantastic. in fact that would be a hilarious video, comparing two local chinese restaurants. what lens are you using on the 6400 at 23:26? thanks!
Honestly, im a lil bit confuse too in which camera that i will take. Mostly i'll use it as a photography. I like both camera , but my mind keep telling me that i can't take fuji, dunno why. So what is ur thought? Better i take a6400 + F/4 18-105mm G Lens, or xt30 + xf 18-55mm ?
Maybe let's start with why you think your mind is telling you not to take Fuji? Also, do you have the option of going to a store and holding each camera?
@@TechGearTalk yes, i already hold each camera. For me, both is really good. But till this time i still dont know what camera will i take
Sounds like you want the a6400 - go for it.
I take pictures for work of dogs running around and wrestling. Everything happens fast with them. Which camera do you recommend for this? Sounds like the a6400?
Great as always brother. your videos make me feel smarter during real-life convos about cameras lmao 👍👍👍
Appreciate you brother!
Should i go for Fuji X-S10 or Sony A6400 for video for yt content?
Very detail comparison video with a lot of wonderful photos. Actually I am targeting to buy fuji but at the end of 2019, Nikon introduced Z50 that make me on hold my purchase. Hope you can have a comparison on fuji and nikon in the near future. Thank again for this great video!
Hi there. I just got a Z50, so you'll see a review within a month, and then a comparison.
I am planing to buy my 1st mirroless camera, right now i am using nikon d7200.
Can you suggedt me
For photography only
Between a6400 and xt30
1. Which is better in low light
2. Which lens in better 35 f2 fuji or sigma 1.4 for sony
3. Which has better eye af
4. Which has over all better autofocus system
5. From where you came to know about dynamic range points you told..
Hi. This is not how I would choose a camera, but:
1. about the same
2. for low light, of course the sigma opens to 1.4
3. sony slightly better
4. sony slightly better
5. both are excellent
As a6400 doesn't have ibis so which lens would be best for stabilisation in video recording
Any lens with OSS will help. There are other factors involved (focal length, maximum constant aperture, etc.) and if you really want stable footage I recommend using a gimbal.
And for photography?
Same questions as before (but of course no gimbal).
@@TechGearTalk thanks for your response brother
Great video, one more question!! I heard there were some issues with macroblocking using fLog on the Fuji, and some issues with autofocusing when shooting sLog on the Sony. Is that true?
Fuji cameras are available in Australia in affordable packages with the very decent 18-55 kit zoom.
What would be the competitive lense for the A6400 without spending much more money?
Ok so I am having a TERRIBLE time trying to figure out which camera to buy, coming from a Nikon D3100. My choices currently are Sony a6400, Fuji X-T30, Canon M50, and Nikon Z 50. I take photos mostly of my wiggly kids and pets, but also venture out for nature/landscape photos occasionally, plus everyday happenings, of course. Good at low/poor light is vital. Videos are fun but aren't my priority. Some of these are a bit over my budget but if they are worth the difference in price, I am willing (prefer about 600 but willing to go up to 900 if it is worth it). If you have any helpful advice, I would be extremely grateful! Your videos are the BEST on youtube! Thank you!
Hi. Quick question: is 6-900 your total budget? What about lenses (which will play the most major roll in low-light performance)
@@TechGearTalk Thank you for your reply! I could shell out a bit more for a decent lens, but taking it over $1000 would really hurt. Obviously a $900 camera plus a $300+ lens would likely be a no-go, unless it was REALLY worth it. Thank you again!
Well, in that case, you have to make a choice - which will probably come down to losing low-light performance. You will need a fast lens for that which will be expensive.
I would then get the M50 with the kit lens. Once you use it, figure out what focal length you want for your next lens and but a fast lens. th-cam.com/video/z-x-d-K9Jfw/w-d-xo.html
@@TechGearTalk I totally understand. I know the lenses are super expensive. I could get the camera now and save for a new lens next. If I were to go that route, would you have a recommendation for which camera? I know you are working on a review of the Nikon Z 50. I am leaning a bit that way since i already have a couple of decent lenses for my Nikon dslr that I could get an adapter for? Maybe even a Nikon D5600? Oy vey, lol. But I am very drawn to the good things I have heard about the Sony a6400, and I love the colors and smoothness of the Canon photos (800D) I have seen. Do you have a preference or suggestion?
I am so appreciative of your taking the time to answer our questions, not to mention the reviews and videos you make. Can't say it enough, but yours are simply the very best. Thank you so much!
I am not into colour grading stuff for movies so is the Fuji Film mode the answer to my needs if I want to create “cinematic “ feel?
Hello what Camera would be better for taking black and white vintage looking high quality sharp photos in lowlight and 4k videos? because I want my photos to look like the photographer Josiah Van Dien work on instagram (he’s a photographer for Shawn Mendes). I know he uses the Canon 5D Mark IV with a Canon 24-70mm f2.8 lens but I was looking for something more affordable and compact that produces similar results. Do you have any suggestions?
Which one would you reccomand for landscape photographie?
I would take the X-T30 for photos
@@TechGearTalk ok thank you very much 👍
Helloo! Amazing review! Thank you very much! Just a question, maybe you can answer, is there some differences between OSS and OIS? wich one do you prefere betwee the two? Thank you if you answer to me!!!
Thank you for the kind words. There isn't a difference that I found significant. That is not a deciding factor for me when I'm selecting one of these over the other. Which camera did you like better?
@@TechGearTalk No worries, it's one of the most complete reviews I've seen :)! The Fuji looks like amazing and I love its colors and its quality, but I think I'll buy the a6400 that seems it has a really close quality, because I use the camera for travel videos and for vlog ad I need that the camera can resist better to rainy conditions, (and for vlogs autofocus and flip out screen are super important)... Thank you for your help by the way, greeting from Italy! :)
That decision-making process makes a lot of sense to me. Good luck with the a6400! Let me know how it works out.
@@TechGearTalk Sure! Thank you!! I can't wait to try it! :)
It's going to be fun!
Great video. so I shoot mostly landscape photography , which camera is best for scenic shots and handles low light during morning and evening best? . Or do u recommend another?
The Sony has a slight advantage in terms of retaining details in the shadows compared to the Fuji. Also, some weather sealing might be beneficial for outdoor shooting. If you don’t need fast & accurate AF (like in landscape) these 2 are very close actually. It comes down to what lens pairings you’re planning to go with, as well as personal preference in terms of handling, interface etc.
appreciate your hard work ! nice review and details which you share openly ,
please make video on magic lantern on canon cameras , and hdr video work flow ,
Hey can you please compare Fujifilm XT30 and Panasonic G90/95? Also I would like know the sports or action photography using both of them. Looks forward to your response
Hi there just subscribed to your channel, good work! Was wondering what you would recommend between these two cameras for a dog training business? I also am interested in having good photography because I often takes pics of the dogs but I also wanted to start to get into it a little - more specifically portraits but I'm a camper/hiker/traveler.. so a little of everything. Thanks!
Amazing video as always Sagi! Hoping you are able to do a review on the new Sony 16-55 2.8 lens. I am wondering if I should buy the Sigma 1.4 trio (16mm, 30mm, 56mm) or just this G Masters lens
Thanks Stan! I’ll do my best. If you don’t want the 1.4, might be nice to have just one lens
@@TechGearTalk Also, are you sure the a6400 has a BSI sensor? or did I hear that wrong? I thought the Sony apsc didnt have bsi but fuji apsc did (i could be wrong)
According to DXO Mark - I have not confirmed with Sony.
@@TechGearTalk Gotcha! I saw the one DXO review article that mentioned it but I think they mixed it up with ff sony cameras because lot of other sources said this camera didn't have BSI (which explains slightly better low light performance on X-t30..
www.digitaltrends.com/photography/fujifilm-x-t30-vs-sony-a6400/
mirrorlesscomparison.com/preview/sony-a6400-vs-a7iii/
www.markgaler.com/sony-a6400-interesting-developments
It doesnt matter too much as they both do great in low light still but I remember this being a point of criticism on the sony a6400 in some reviews, as I remember people wondering why sony produces bsi apsc sensors to give to fuji but doesnt apply it to their own apsc lineup.
Good input!
I have learned a great deal from your videos. Thank you. I’m looking for the best mirrorless or dslr for around $1200 (body only) to record my nieces. One is a gymnast and the other does local community theater. I will be purchasing a 70-200mm f2.8 lens for whatever body I choose as well. I’m looking for eye autofocus that functions in 4k. Some have suggested Sony a6600 (I’m a little concerned about the rolling shutter) others have suggested Canon M6 Mark ii (some have said eye autofocus doesn’t work in 4k) Any help would be appreciated.
