I don’t think I’ve ever seen a more supportive comment section
Can’t believe you went through the whole thing without messing up the a6x00 even once. This is an amazing video, thank you!
David Zhu i agree with you... he’s awesome‼️ 💯 i actually have the A6000 in silver.... too bad the A6400 doesn’t come in silver... lol 😇
@@dyz2102 wow; i bought the new one from bh with $150 off :) black though :(
Technically he messed up all of them... It's "Alpha" not "A"
But I'm glad I didn't have to listen to someone saying alpha over and over :p
he's just a bit goofy like that
Agree. You are amazing. Your explanation is very clear and precise.
This is one of the best videos I have watched in TH-cam. I have listened to every word u said
This is so true, the man destroyed all my doubts!
Agree👍
me too, no fast forward or playback speeds.
First I thought a real nice troll here, just to find out that this is absolutely true.
Had a good laugh at first though 🙂
This is a fantastic video! I've watched loads of A6XXX comparison videos but this video nailed it for me. Your knowledge of these cameras is unmatched and your delivery kept me watching the whole video. Thank you so very much.
Arthur the APS-C King
Sony APSC !
He definitely has become the Sony ASPC authority on TH-cam. Arthur has sold more Sony cameras than anyone.
Nigel Cam, Sony has a well deserved reputation for quality. You pay a premium for it, but when it comes to something you want to use for years the cost is justifiable. Good observation.
Hi Arthur, now the difference between 6100 vs 6400 is approx 300$ ... still you will you recommend 6400.. I am using 6000 from last 3 years and want to upgrade pls suggest and is the colours science is same in both the cameras ?
Manish Sharma I would get the 6400 if you already have some decent glass for it. Otherwise get the 6100 and the Sigma 16 or the Sony 30.
I always love it when people say the A6400 is the best choice. I may be biased tho >_> *shuffles a6400 around in camera bag*
Random Asian Productions hahaha I watch these videos just for that same satisfaction 😂
This video is awesome! After years with Canon I switched to Sony with a A7 III and have now started looking at a smaller camera to complement that and also to use instead of my webcam. The numbering of the aps-c sony cameras was very confusing but this cleared it all up and I'm now confident that the a6100 is the one I'll go for.
Thanks!
Wow Arthur! This video is fantastic! Thank you sooo much for explaining everything about these cameras. I’m planning to upgrade my a6000 and have been confused about all the upgrades and model numbers, but you gave such an amazingly informative explanation that I feel like I’m an expert in the Sony alpha 6000 family. Thank you! Thank you! Thousand thumbs up!!!!
Probably one of the best, most detailed and relaxing TH-cam videos I've seen in a long while
One of the best and most difficult to make reviews I've seen. Thank you!
The OG a6000 still working great for me. Didn't realize it already has that much brothers. Great review!
Thanks Arthur! This is the best overview of the A6x00 series I've seen. I bought an A6500 a few years ago (and a bunch of spare batteries) and have been very happy with it.
man, so impressed with this video. and i even wated the a6000 - a6500 vid just yesterday. great content
Great effort put for a comprehensive comparison video. Putting all Sony's 6000 series cameras in a single video with detailed explanation, similarities and differences is awesome.
I’ve been spinning my wheels trying to make sense of their crazy numbering and which model I most wanted (used). Thank you SO SO much for laying it all out so clearly. You’re an absolute lifesaver. Now, back to my hunting. Thank you.
Haven't seen such detailed review on TH-cam since ages. Excellent work!
I love the way how you guided this Sony series, slow to make sure viewers understand, much appreciate! Thanks!
I never though I watch entire video just 80% footage of hands, cameras and desk. You really give value for us who were confused about alpha line up.
Gracias.
I felt obligated to say thank you for this priceless and information packed video.
Im a beginner and felt so lost choosing my first 2nd hand camera.
I haven't decided which one suit my needs yet, but your video puts me in the right direction for sure.
I'm in a similar position. What did you end up going with and why?
This video is just perfect, it's complete, clean and incredibly easy to understand. Keep the awesome work ma man.
I recently bought a6000 on black Friday sales. It's still a great camera and it will be relevant even in 2020. Excellent image quality. If you have experience in photography, let's say with smartphone, but want to get a real camera with interchangeable lenses, go for a6000 and don't think twice.
I did the same thing. For a first camera, i dont justify the need to spend more. Also, i find the kit lens great to start with and learn. At least, me and my wife are totally blown by the image quality which already have that professional look(only with a month of use) and thats the only thing that matters. Happy shooting!
Did the same along with a samyang 35mm F1.2 makes really nice photos specially at night.
I own the a6000 and the RX100m3, but man ;( the battery sucks, I'm really tempted to go back and use my Canon gear again
I got my a6000 about 2 years ago for £500, loved it, I have some of the most amazing pictures I've ever taken with that, I see now it's lowered to less than £270 I think, for body only, that's pretty amazing for what it's capable of. But after these years I definitely see room to upgrade, which is why now I'm jumping to the a6600, it's great that I still get to keep my range of lens for it.
A6000 will always be a good camera untill the 8k resolution cameras go cheaper than 5000 euros 😂, but still I'm never gonna change from a6000, all you need is the sigma trio lenses to be happy, I'm in love with the 16mm one.
Most importantly, how good is the photo captured is depending on the user
What a great and simple explanation.
Thank you, Arthur.
Such a complete and professional explanation/review of the a6x00 line-up! Thanks a lot Arthur, keep producing content like this!
Would like to express thanks and compliments for your outstanding detailed and well researched Sony reviews. Current pricing is $800 for a6500, $900 for a6400, and $1200 for a6600. As you mention, these cameras have exceptional build quality and usually last for many years trouble free. So we can ignore a $100 price difference which would be an insignificant $20 per year costed out over 5 years of use. I chose the a6500 for IBIS and better body with larger grip and upgraded buttons/controls. If I were shooting professional video in the studio, I would have gone for the a6400, which is a better video camera. For video blogging and street video, I would bite the bullet and get the a6600 with everything including double battery life and IBIS. One comment about IBIS - is does make a considerable difference in hand held video by eliminating the small jitter effect; the IBIS models produce smoother more natural hand held video compared to the other models. Thanks again for your awesome video channel!
I can't believe my a6000 is 5 years. I use it everyday to shoot photos for my online business.
Got a website i could check out? i always like seeing people push the capabilities of the a6000
@@alen-commentnazi8774 i shoot my videos on a6000
do you ever feel the lakness of 4k video and others fiture of than 61k,63k,64,,,,? are you still satisfied on 60k?
@@videotime9318 it depends. For example, I don't have any hardware that can edit 4K video well. So...
Do you think it’s a good buy in 2021 ? Or should I go for something else as it’s too old now ?
I really appreciate how in-depth this is, and how well you showcased all of the features. Such a good review! Thank you!
Dude, great video with a very complicated comparison paradigm. It’s difficult enough to compare two cameras, let alone 6. But you did so excellently!!!
I only recently found this channel and I am loving it. Loved your content. So diligent and well researched.
Thank you.
Watched this entire video from start to finish, and it was EXTREMELY helpful in deciding which of the new cameras to upgrade too. I've been a little out of the loop on what all the new cameras have been, since I've been rocking the a6300 and RX100 V for so long now, and they've been doing me well - but that continuous video shooting on these new models and the new color science really eliminate all issues I was thinking about with the other cameras. Time to upgrade! Thanks, Arthur - great video and lots of help!
Really nice video! I love the effort you put in this comparison. Merry Christmas
This made things really clear for me and will be making my purchase far less confusing. Exactly what I needed. Thanks for taking the time to make this detailed video!
Nice Arthur! All great cameras. I’m partial to the A6400 because of it value for money. Thanks for sharing. Happy Holidays!
Superb review, i was always confused with all those models.
Thanks for this in depth comparison! Really well structured, well paced. You just saved me a ton of time looking for all the information you present here. Thanks :)
this is such an amazing thorough review, thank you! you made my decision so much easier
Got A6300 + SEL 16-50mm + SEL 55-210mm for €930 on Amazon DE in August 2019. Wanted to stay below 1,000€ but the A6400 Was way more expensive back then. I'm not going to upgrade despite A6300 is four years old. It works fine for me.
The most thorough breakdown of the A6000 series. Thank you!
Really informative. I appreciate the effort you put into making such a clear and concise video!
I would like to thank you for explaining the chronological releases of the Sony a6x00 series. As well as the pros and cons of all of them. After watching this video you made me reconsider looking into the a6x00 series for video recording in 2020. Great job Arthur.
Sony model #'s are definitely confusing to track.
Damn. You are a good history teacher.
This was really helpful. I currently have the a6000 but am looking to upgrade and have done a lot of research but you laid this out very clearly. I had already kind of landed on the a6400 so I'm glad that's what you recommend and why since budget is definitely a factor. Thank you so much!
any camera model above a6000 will feel like a huge upgrade,,, I did a low light test video not long ago a6000 performance is horrible
Amazing buyers guide. Watched the entire a6000-a6500 video before realizing there was an a6600! I was stuck between the 6400 and the 6500…but thanks to this video it worked in my favor because it is now a simple decision for the 6600. Thanks for these amazing guides!!!
I rarely remember to like/comment on a video with my short attention span and hardly ever do I feel the value of the content obligates me to. Congratulations and thank you.
Phenomenally informative video! I was always confused about the a6000 cameras and now I totally get it thanks to this video. Very well paced and clear!
I commend you tackling this subject of all of them together, good work! 👌🏻
I had a lot of doubts because I wanted to change my old a6000 and this is THE video. Thank you so much for helping this huge community! Greetings from Spain :)
Dang man...I love these in-depth videos. I watched them all from beginning to end!
Thanks a bunch. :)
Great video, really informative as always, my main problem with the a6600 is that (in the UK) the a7iii is now about the same price and having owend and loved my a6500 for 10 months i will still rather spend the money moving to full frame, the form factor really isn't much bigger and the raw files just seem to have so much more to them, but that's just my personal experience.
Can't believe I spent 3 days looking for a video that clarifies my doubts and here it is finally. You're amazing! Summed up everything that a potential buyer needs to know!
Thank You Arthur, I love the details provided, the pros and cons and your own preference, hope to see more of this kinda reviews in the tube.
This video is very detail and helpful. I’ve listened to every word you said. Thank you so much. Keep on making these type of comparison videos!
I've been working with weddings and events with a6500 for 3 yrs since it has been released. I'm considering the upgrade to a6600 just because of the battery life and eye AF on video. (pretty good for the bride entrance on weddings)
THANK YOU! i was just researching the whole line trying to pick one to buy. settled on beginning video making with a6100
strong choice 💪
Thank you so much for the concise info! This totally helped me purchase a camera to suite my needs! A6100 was the answer for me. Subscribing now!
The in body image stabilization is probably the feature I would appreciate the most. Thanks for the detailed video, clears things up for me!
Years later, this video remains super relevant and helpful. Thank you! Very methodical, clear going through 3 models and 3 updates.
I think this is the first camera video where I ACTUALLY understand what they're talking about and can make a good purchasing decision. Thank you so much for the great and easy explanation❤🤸♀️ highly appreciate it!!
It’s the best review/comparison over the whole TH-cam! Thank you so much!
Love the video, the details wasn't confusing like some videos and the way you arrange the cameras made it way more easier to understand. Now i finally made up my mind on which to get. Thanks a bunch and here's a subscribe from me.
I have an a6400 since June 2020 and man i use it as my main cam for all my client works including weddings, vlogs, music videos, and this is in every way reliable and amazing. Great video tho! Watched every second of it!
June 2020? Wow, you're ahead of all of us including Sony...
Wow,so happy to finaly meet a time traveler
Hey buddy.
Would you say the A6600 is better than the a6400?
Wana use it movies, weddings, club videos
@ArthurR Still waiting on two videos from you: Sony 85 vs Sigma 56 comparison on APSC bodies, and Tamron Zooms on APSC bodies. THANKS FOR EVERYTHING AND MERRY CHRISTMAS 🐐
One of my fav videos, great job Arthur!
The best camera comparison i ever seen.. Nice work!
Wonderful comparison 👏
Still rocking my a6000 and have been for 5 years! I keep on asking myself when I'm going to upgrade but when I think about it, I also realize that the a6000 still does everything I need just fine. Waiting for Sony to release an updated a7 style aps-c body if they every do
I recently upgraded from my beloved 5 year old A6000 to a A6400. I am super happy with the quality of life changes on the A6400, but man.. sometimes I miss the feel of using my old buddy. Keep yours tight, it's still super good and has a character for sure! :)
Thanks a LOT Arthur for this amazing review which really helped me to have a more accurate vision of the Sony APSC Range... and helped me decide to go with the A6600 ! Thanks. Matt, France
Thank you for your in-depth experience with each camera
What a great, comprehensive explanation of the models. Just when I was about to pull the trigger on a A6000, now I’m thinking again. I don’t need the features of the more expensive models but i feel I might as well ‘future proof’ myself a bit. However, budget is budget. Thanks again for a great video. Seasons greetings from Scotland.

Same lol. Did you choose something?
@@zerospecs2331 I went for the A6000. It’s great.
Prices are insane for the models above the a6000. I say get that one or if you want more just get the A7II. I would not bother with the rest of the a6x series with the huge price differences between the models.
@@Robert.Dickson You still have it? Are you happy with it?
11:18 - Best part of the video
that chase
Totally agree with everything - I have the A6400, A6600 and A7iii and love them all and use them for different venues. I will often shoot the two APSC cameras in tandem with different lenses...
Excellent comparison. Super informative and precise. I am in the market for a streaming camera and this was extremely helpful. Thank you!
Thank you! I watched your video and bought lens from your recommended. Now your showed me a6100 or a6400 is a good replacement for my a6000.
I own the a6400 and when combined with the sigma primes, then both the video and the photos are breathtakingly beautiful!
Very well made. Very comprehensive. Will come back to rewatch it again.
This video was exactly what I was looking for and more, thanks so much for producing an excellent, insanely well done video
Man.. this video is SO clutch. Every time I get on B&H, I think to myself, “Wow, the numbering of the 6000 series is super confusing.. I wish I understood it better”. And now I do, thanks to you! Another awesome video, as always. Props to you my friend!
I’ve been watching Sony camera reviews like crazy for the last couple of weeks
Yours was BY FAR the best one I’ve seen!
Keep it up!
I have seen many review videos and this is the BEST, CONGRATULATIONS!!!
Greatest review that I had ever seen on youtube about sony a6x00 series cameras.
I have the A6300 with me for 2 years and i adore it, gonna make a review myself soon
A6300 IS TIER
I’ve had the a6300 for the same amount of time as you! I really like it. Not sure if I should upgrade.
week ago i bought my Sony A6400 and i am very happy with it , specially the auto focus system :)
This is sooo detailed and clear!! 😍😍🙌🙌 Thank you sooo much! 🙏 I have been wanting the a6100 due to the pricing but I think I might go for the a6400 now!
Dude, what an amazing work in this video!
Thanks a million for the comparision, it definetely helped me to evalute my choices.
Super happy with my a6400. Planning to get a gimbal and a fast prime lens to complement the setup.
I recently upgraded from a6000 to a6500, because I could pick it up cheaper than either a6100 or a6400, and since I have the Sigma trio and using it almost 100% on photo, I just felt I can give up the better autofocus and the color science for the IBIS. I didn't try the AF performance of the newer lineup, but it's still great on the a6500, and I love the IBIS.
Therefore, for this price, I do believe that a6500 > a6100, because of the body, the IBIS, the EVF and back screen resolution, the buffer size, and also that Sony missed out the min. SS on auto iso function from the a6100, which is a bummer.
Thanks for the great videos, keep it up!
Great and detailed comparison, one of the best on the Sony A6xxx series I've seen on TH-cam so far
Holy Cow - this video is really educational and you put in a ton of work on it. Thanks for sharing!
I trust this guy. Keep it up lad:)
Very informative video!
Finally someone who was honest and clear!!!
I’m definitely looking forward to purchasing one of your top 3 choices God willing 👍👍👍
Excellent review!! I was totally confused with the 6000 line up until now. Thanks!
Love to see all the Axxxx series all together.
I have got A6400, A5100, and planning to get another A6600 next year.
This is brilliant. I am relatively new to photography and, until now, have been completely befuddled by the Sony 6xxx line. It's now really clear. With my budget, it's the a6100 or a6400 for me. As I will be doing very little travelling and the camera will spend most of its life set-up on a tripod, the a6100 probably is the wisest choice.
This video was so Uber helpful man. Thank you so much. I’m deciding between the 6400 and ZV1
Such a great video man.. I'm so glad that you love APS-C Sony cameras this much, cause they are great! and people should know it. Thank you
i love watching review videos about tech i already have HAHAHAH a6400 is really great
Dried Soup jump in stills? Or mostly video? I own the A6000 but shoot stills and don’t know if A6400 is worth the upgrade.
Great video!
2022 and I couldnt be more happier to find this video..thank you for this guide!! really informative.
You are the most credible and reliable channel I go to when I want to look up cameras. And also the least click baity
Great review! I upgraded from A6000 to A6400 so I don't miss IBIS since I never had it. What I don't understand if that when tiny GoPro's and 360 cameras have almost perfect image stabilization by processing the footage internally from a large buffer, Sony could not use a similar solution in the A6400. The processing power is probably sufficient.
From what understood after a few years with a6400 and then ZV-E10 (sold them both at the end), is that even gyro stabilized video will require additional crop and high shutter speed. 1/50th + digital stabilization will make steady motion but image will blur out every time there is any significant movement. Additionally GoPro lens are 2.8mm @ 1/2.5" sensor so ~6x crop, even with that it's only 16.8mm lens in terms of Full Frame. That would require 11.2mm lens on APS-C camera, much wider than usual suspects of 16mm, 24mm etc. And then there is next thing, when I used ZV-10 with 16mm Sigma f1.4 the motion of the camera was actually really smooth, I guess that wide angle helps a lot compared to 30mm and up, but what no gyro or stabilization can do is fix slow sensor readouts resulting is micro stutters, jello rolling shutter etc, and it gets only worse if you up the shutter speed.
