Mr sean what can u recommend for canon ??
You have any not useful CAMERA can you give it to me please.....🙏🙏😔
I want vlogger but we are so poor..... CAN I?!
Any not useful CAMERA it's ok not nice CAMERA but the important I have CAMERA
Just picked up the a6400 and decided to go with the Sony 18mm-105 f4 w/ OSS. It’s a tighter shot when vlogging, but the extra focal length for b roll shots makes up for it. Having an ultra wide focal length is awesome but to start out with and keep it budget friendly, it’s best to go with multiple purpose lens. Think Media rocks ! Love the channel ! Happy shooting everyone ! 📸🎥
Its amazing how this dude give advices thinking about people's budget. Great video as always.
Got my a6400 with the kit lens for $998 from B&H about 2 months ago, LOVE IT! That Sigma lens will probably be my next lens since most of the time, my vlogs are at night since I work all day :O Thanks for this Sean!
Just ordered my a6400 with the 18-135mm lens yesterday! Thanks Sean this video reaffirms my decision to pull the trigger on the new camera 👍
Nice!!! 👊🔥💯
Not for vlogging, but for my workshop videos I use the E 35 mm F1.8 OSS
. Some of the shots can be a little tight in my workshop but I love the depth of field it provides.
I would take the 16-50 kit lens. More versatility by being able to go out to 50mm, and also wide enough at 16mm for some vlogging content. The f3.5 aperture isn’t the best but Sony cameras are pretty good in low light so you should be able to push the ISO a bit.
Dude the production on these videos just keeps getting better and better. Well done.
Just bought the a6400 after watching this, thanks Sean👍🏽
Thanks Sean, always a good round up. I've been using the 18-105 F4 lens - great lens, reasonable background blur when used correctly, only downside is it is quite big and a tight angle for when out and about vlogging - though have done this fine anyhow. Fine for my indoor review videos though. Defo got my eye on the expensive 10-18mm next
I’ve wanted that Sigma 16mm since the day I heard about it. I got the 30mm f1.4 from Sigma about two months ago and it’s my absolute favourite lens.
Saving for this one atm.
I just picked up a 6400 body only. Should I just purchase the 16mm 1.4 over the kit lens?
@@blackentrepreneur244 I honestly feel like I don't have the know-how to say definitively. I only recently picked up photography as a hobby. I use my camera predominantly for shooting song covers. So the 30mm focal length is perfect for me. I also occasionally do portrait photography with my friends so I wanted something with a shallower depth of field than the kit lens.
However, I can't knock the kit lens at all. I got it bundled with the camera and I still use it when I'm roaming about to take pictures of random things. The ability to zoom is something I always miss when I leave home with the prime lens only. The crop-factor on the 30mm makes framing a little tight when you don't have room to step back.
I recommend checking out Jason Vong's channel. He goes through these lenses as well and from the pros and cons of each of these videos, you could choose the one that would best fit into your workflow.
Don't forget the 16-70/4 Zeiss. It's stablized, has the 16mm of the kit lens but also a 24-105 full frame equivalent and constant f4 so you can switch in a hurry to portrait length shots with reasonably shallow DOF. Plus 55mm filter thread is easy to find ND filters and polarizers for. Plus they can be had for reasonably cheap if bought used.
Another super informative zero BS video!
I'm a Canon M50 owner and I bought it after some research and a very knowledgeable friends recommendation. But I have this a6400 envy now. I just wish it had IBIS
What about the a6400 do you envy? I'm on the fence between the m50 and a6400. Thanks!
@@Tennisfiles Good question. If your goal is to do more professional video, I would get the a6400. It comes with more video-centric lenses vs EF-M lenses which are more basic. However, if you have good skills you could do professional work with M50 also. I personally do not like the flip out screen. I think flip up is better but it's just a personal preference. a6400 has 120fps at 1080, M50 does not. For photography, both are equally good and M50 is way cheaper. Neither one has IBIS but a6400 has more weather sealing than M50 which is useful for landscape and outdoor photo or video. I would try both before making the decision.
Using Sigma 16mm f/1.4 DC DN on my A6400 for my recent TH-cam uploads. It's amazing how the auto focus works. Great for product shoot
The Cool gang! I’m learning so much it’s unreal. I love the relatable and simple language thinkmedia use
Literally built my recording set up from your videos ! Great content and thanks for helping me grow my channels production ! Pushing for 10k now XD
Yes, I've done some of that too.
I've vlogged with a 30mm Sigma 1.4 before and it came out pretty good, but it did require me to extend my arm and the joby as far as it could go to get the equivalent of what would be a 16mm lens. I have the 16mm Sony 2.8, which is flat and super easy to use, I might try it but from what I understand the autofocus on it hunts a lot, which is not great for vlogs.
Ny favorite is Canon 10-18mm. I’ve modified it, and mounted it on the mc-11. Cheap and works great.
I will pick sigma 16 mm 1.4 because i think it is more versatile as we also vlog in night also ..
Yeeees love the sound of that last sigma! I’m on the hunt for a new lens with around f1.4
🔥🔥🔥
Thanks I was looking at these 3 lenses at the store. Now I just made the decision that I will pick up all 3.
Since I own all 3, I'll let you in on a secret. The Sigma is WAY better than the Sony 16-50 and Sony 10-18. Bokeh is amazing, and 16mm is fine for vlogs. Also it's super fast and sharp! buy a Crane v2 to pair with it.
My favorite APS-C Lenses are the Sony 16-70 f4 (i think I'd pick this one if i only could bring 1 lens) and the 35 f1.8 OSS. Makes a killer combo!
Thank you - that was super helpful. I am only getting started.
I recently sold my Canon 80D, 10-18, 50mm 1.8, 24mm 2.8, and 55-250mm lenses. I bought the Sony a6400 with the 16-50mm kit lens. I just bought the sigma 16mm 1.4 a couple weeks ago and I haven’t taken it off my camera yet. It’s an amazing lens with so much potential. I plan on buying either the Sony 50mm 1.8 oss lens or the sigma 30mm 1.4 next.
This video is perfect timing for me! I just got a Sony A6400 and now I am looking for a new lens for my kit! Thanks Sean!!!!!
You’re fabulous just what I needed thanks for sharing great tips as always 👍🏼
Bro you're a legend! My channel is built on your advice! Keep smashing it 👊🏼
Great content ! And thanks for teaching us so much about cameras ! It really helps our channels to grow through better production ! You rock !!
I just bought a6400 last Sunday and love it. But since I came from Lumix G8 which had great IBIS so I have to learn to shoot steady video with a6400.
I bought a double kit lens that came with 16-50mm OSS and 55-210mm OSS. I love this 16-50mm lens. I have not used 55-210mm yet. #teamsony
You can still use Sony’s Clear Image Zoom feature for more versatility.
Thanks for the tips sean ,I needed the best camera for my TH-cam videos ...
Happy to help! Check out this video ➡️ th-cam.com/video/jrJ0P2jeJZk/w-d-xo.html
I prefer Sony and what do you think?
Thanks Sean, newbie here and just purchased the a6400, more as an all around photo/video/travel camera but may also try my hand at old-man vloging. I purchased the 18 - 135 kit lens and am currently scanning eBay for a used 10 - 18. May also look into that Sigma. Anyway, thanks for the always informative video.
*Sean is grinding!*
👊😎💯
O'SSÉIN - Master Your Mind With Me yes keep grinding 💯
Ugh this videos a life saver
I have a 80D - which one would you suggest?
Canon EF-S 10-18mm f/4.5-5.6 IS STM Lens
Check out this video Sam th-cam.com/video/Jd2T-gJJiKc/w-d-xo.html
Think Media thanks Sean 🙌 keep up the great work.
Sony 16mm 2.8 with ultra-wide converter (12mm). Much better in low light than the 10-18 and can be found for under $200!
Can you help direct me to the lens? Thanks
I think the sigma looks fine without stability.
The blurry background sort of cancls the shake out
great point
Epic video!!! Loved how you explained all the options for newbies like me
hey sean ! thanks bro
i bought the camera
will soon uplpad the video
I would consider Tamron 17-70mm F2.8 and kit lenses combo. If you want that low aperture look then sigma 16mm as well.
YES the 16mm 1.4 for me
Amazing 😉 video . If I had to pick one lens would be the Sony 35mm f 1.8 will get nice performance at low light and great blurry background depth of field 👌🏻
So did you found sony 35mm useful as compared to sigma ? what do you recommend for me (a6400 -sony 18-135)
@@IRFAN-po5sz 18-135 is already excellent versatility and you can live on that lens. I've had all these lenses and I'd take the Sony 35mm over a sigma 16 or a sigma 30. Autofocus is slightly faster and the OSS is great for hand held.
Sigma 56mm 1.4 is great for portraits and night sky...
Could get the Sigma 30mm 1.4 for better night sky but a bit harder to use for portraits. The 30mm is great, because its very small for a 1.4
which would you use for youtube-studio videos? 50mm or 35mm?
I bought 16-50 for its versatile. I have many prime lens. but for travel I bring this
Sony 50mm 1.8 lens is my favourite
I went with the 18-135 and the Rokinon 12mm 2.0. A Crane plus too 😊 Now to get out and create! Btw I really like your channel! You guys are inspiring! Thanks 😊
Thanks for the tips Sean..need to upgrade my camera game after this video.
Happy to help Rochelle - keep building! 👊💯
I think u should
Rockstar Rochelle Hej which kind of camera are you using for your TH-cam channel?
@@LillieVibes its my question too
@@LillieVibes Hey girl! I use my iPhone and a GoPro 7 at the moment. How about you?
I bought the camera after watching this video and it’s awsome 👍 I love the auto focus and colours thanx a lot
I have the kit lens and all I can say it's not bad but not great either. The 18-105mm is cool, at higher focal length has some really nice bokeh, but fully open, not good in low light and minimal bokeh. The 50mm f1.8 that I have is insane! All the bokeh and oss and everything, but being such a tight frame, it isn't vlog friendly. B roll though, makes your footage look like pro straight out from the camera. The 10-18 I don't have yet but the only downside to it ia the f4. I have f4 on my 18-105 and it's not fantastic for bokeh or low light. I'd definitely like a faster lens but perfect focal lenght for vlogging + oss... 95% all you'll ever need for vlogging. Tamron does an 11-20mm but has no oss, if you have a gimbal, that would be great at f2.8, as well as the 16mm sigma.
No oss though means shaky video without a gimbal.
I have sigma 16mm f1. 4 and Sony a6600. I confirm it's good setup
I only have 16-50 😅, and thinking to buy 18-105 for travel.
The footage of the Sigma there looked great, will be my next lens
Love ur reviews. Idk why you're not at like 2mil followers. Keep doing what ur doing.
just bought a sony A5100 came today, still need to buy a lens for it however i am in the process of getting a lens for some photography
Thank you for this video! I was on the fence with the Sony until I saw this lens video! Thank you!
Great that clarifies a lot thanks. I got 6400 my first dslr with 10 to 18 and the 18to135 but im a bit disappointed with lack of blurry background so looking forward to get the sigma lense now 👍🏽
Love my camera but a total newbie. Can I ask a basic question? How do I zoom in? I am always far away from my camera.
I'm watching this video again and again
Thanks man. So enlightening video... I was not aware of how handy my 16 50 kit lens is... I was shooting my vlogs with cell phone... Just because of my Sigma 30mm f1.4 dc dn is not ok for vlogging....
For me its the Sony 18-105 but its mostly because I'd rather not take more than 1 or 2 lenses with me and I prioritize photo and video quality, so I pack Sony 18-105mm and Sigma 14mm
Why not the 6600? It has better autofocus and Ibis.
For me, I think the Sigma 16mm f1.4 is the perfect vlogging lens. Yes, that OSS ain't there, but the background blur is crazy, the image quality is absurd, and it's a LOT cheaper than the 10-18mm f4.
For the general usage, "one lens" to bring though, it would be the Sony 18-105mm f4. It's a constant aperture unlike the 18-135mm, therefore better in low light and DoF control at the tighter FLs. Also, the 18-105mm is a better telephoto lens than the 18-135mm, image quality wise. But if I wouldn't care about lighting and image quality at the long end, I'd go for the extra 30mm zoom range. They're available for practically the same price, so those would be factors to consider for both of them.
Looking forward to buy a camera and Lens. Thank you for bring it up best content nice job
April L Butcher Thank you for the tip. I have hesitated to by a camera. I don’t want to make a mistake again that’s why i am doing my research before
April L Butcher I will take your word for it. Do i need to buy another lens apart from 28-75mm?
Using a A6500 with 16mm sigma it handles everything. Wanne get some super B-roll? I'll grab my 30mm sigma which is also super for portraits. If I had to choose one, 16mm all the way. With clear Image zoom it can even zoom in with a custom button. Just go get it if you're reading this.
I'm trying to figure out which camera and lens you used to make this video. Looks perfect!
What Sony camera is best for 4K?
Depends on what you need... but check out this video test th-cam.com/video/7uvy2vIQknQ/w-d-xo.html
Super helpful, Sean. Thanks for the breakdown!
my favorite lense for Sony A6400 is Sigma 30 mm f 1.4
sigma 16 + gimbal =
I needed some vlogging samples from the 16-50! Thanks!
This was SO helpful! Thank you for this!
Can't wait for another TH-cam tips video!
Coming soon!
Great video thanks!
Just a suggestion on videos. Can you do best lenses for photography and video for each the day and the night?
Tasty stuff!! Nice video Sean!!
I think external mic is a must have. Bad audio = bad experience.
Bought this camera for my channel from this video
18-105mm ;)
Love this VIDEO ..the amount of research u do is just amazing!! 💯🔥
👊💯
great video! Helped us in choosing what lens to buy.
Awesome video as usual! Thanks man
how about the sigma 18-35 f/1.8 ?
U shoot the 10-18 lens on 4k? or just 1080?
Not sure if this has been asked, but why the Sigma 16mm with a handheld gimbal? Wouldn't that give you the best of both worlds (minus the ultra wide angel from 10mm).
Which one is good for cinematic?
As per my choice sigma 16mm f1.4 is best
I'm debating going all out on sony A7iii or should get this camera for my TH-cam channel.😭
Cars & Adventures a7iii can only record for 30 mins
I got a Sony a6400 with kit lens 16-50mm and I alaso got a prime lens, the Sony E 35mm F1.8 OSS, for my video in my home for tech review etc. Do you think I should have bought the Sigma 16mm f/1.4 instead the Sony E 35mm F1.8 OSS?
So what is your experience with 35mm oss with a6400,Do you recommend me or something else. I have kit lens 18-135
The lighting is great. What are you using?
What lens did you use for this video? (In the living room)
love the sigma
What lens do you recommend just for picture? Not for vlogging.
Very helpful videos here thanks for sharing 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻💚💚💚💚
👊💯
Think Media I’m a new TH-camr just been in youtube for 5 months we need tips on cameras and here I found the best tips I have your 🛎🛎🛎 on 👍🏻💚
Hi Sean, what makes the Sigma 16mm 1.4 so good to use at night? is it the 16mm or the f 1.4? thx
Hi Timo, the f 1.4 let's in way more light that the higher f stop, thus making it better in low light conditions. Cheers!
I have the 10-18, 18-135, 70-350 and the kit lens. For night I got the 35mm with IBIS and it's amazing but because of the distance you need to take close-ups or get very far from the object. However it's spectacular for portrait. With them I feel covered in all situations but I will give a try to the Sigma for astronomy and interiors if I find a good deal. Even I got the Sony-Zeiss 16-70 but I didn't keep it as my copy didn't make any difference with the 18-135. Congratulations for the video
Hi! Having trouble with getting a wide enough lens with the kit lens. How do you like your 10-18mm?
@@TylerMaximus personally, I like it and use it a lot in the mountain and in the city and it's stabilized, although as any zoom lens you should try to avoid the min and max distances (10 and 18, and handle it between 12 and 16mm) for better results. And with F4 it's not the most luminous and I barely get any bokeh, but for the size and polyvalence, if you find a good deal on Black Friday or 2nd hand, it will fit in your camera's arsenal to have you covered in any occasional situation with an acceptable compact size despite being a bit heavy. I got it for 400 USD. Otherwise, if you are an intensive user of wide angle, go for the 12mm Sigma or even make the investment to reduce a lot the size and weight with the 10 or 15mm of Sony. Prime lenses are worth the investment when you use a lot a specific distance. And they are still cheaper than full frame but much lighter. Zoom lenses are intended to get you out of any trouble with acceptable results and they work good enough for me
@@homoanalyticus Thanks for the informative reply! It seems like a good choice for what I need.
Love you guys can’t get over how ironic that shirt is right now
sigma 16mm for everything lol. the only downside for me is the size.
