Tony & Chelsea Northrup should i buy this for music videos?
Nice job guys! Thanks for the shout outs, and sorry about the Instagram competition!
Jordan @ TCSTV
I love you Chris.
+TheCameraStoreTV Love Tony and Chelsea, but you go on and represent Canada eh. Hoping you guys make an appearance on their live show soon.
I see you in 4:27 lol~
+TheCameraStoreTV boring but sensible
+TheCameraStoreTV Thanks Jordan :D
Lol loved the TL;DW summary! Great review
Saf!
May we all take a moment to appreciate the excellent quality of this video? The sound is marvelously clear and well mixed, the footage is gorgeous, the editing and cutting are beautifully done, the information is presented in a clear, well researched manner, and the still images placed among the video footage are stunning. Tony and Chelsea's videos continue to raise the bar of quality on TH-cam, and I, for one, am glad to have the opportunity to see their videos as often as I do.
This is the best review I've ever watched on YT. Keep up the good work. It's not too short to miss the point, and it's not too long to be boring.
Thank you for the awesome review.
LOL at the ending.
First off, I just received your book in the mail and I love it. Going through it now.
Secondly, it's good to see all the youtube camera reviewers getting along and referencing each other's work.
Thirdly, and most importantly to me, I'm glad that you review these cameras with regard to pricing of both NEW and USED offerings from different manufacturers. That keeps it very real to normal people type viewers. Many reviewers shrug at the price difference between the A6300 and A7SII/A7RII like it's no big deal, but that's a lot of money even for a prosumer, and it's a TON of money for a hobbyist. I like when the review mentions the best offering in that category (7D) or used alternatives (used A7S original). That's as real as it gets for normal people and makes your channel very trusted and valuable to us regular shooters.
Keep up the good work!
Very surreal to see +TheCameraStoreTV +PhotoRec Toby +Tony Northrop all in the same video. I'm sure this is the case with many, but I went through film school watching your channels--and learning a lot more about videography than I ever did in school. And now I'm a working professional, in large part thanks to you guys! Keep up the awesome work.
+Benjamin Gadberry glad we could help. The Internet is an amazing place for those seeking an education, as well as educators. I'm both :)
Excellent overview at the beginning and very useful detailed review. Thanks Tony & Chelsea!
Fantastic review. It's so cool/strange seeing all the photography TH-camr's together.
You guys have the best reviews and tutorials....thank you
WOW. That intro was amazing. imagine every other youtube review starting like that.
Thanks for the great review.
Did Sony get rid of the "sunny" option for the screen? On my A6000 it makes the screen ridiculously bright when I'm outdoors.
Great review and in love you guys show other options as well. 👍🏻
I love your videos because they're always unbiased and rational. All I've heard about the Sony is 6k 6k 6k. Thank you for making me have a fair opinion about the camera not based on 6k
You guys always have the best reviews.
Loved that ending! You guys rock!
wow, you guys improved your reviews from when i first started watching you years ago
The ending was great! haha. Thanks for the review.
Enjoyed the review. I would love to see more production like this.
I like the quick as well as the full review format.
haha, best ending ever! nice job T&C and Justin and Siobhan. nice to see you make review where you arn't in your studio Tony
:)
+Anders Fiskum We prefer being out of the studio, it was just too cold in CT :) and thanks.
That ending killed me. Cool review! I just bought mine and I'll do a A6300 vs RX10 ii soon.
Engaging video, guys, that I watched all the way through. Just returned from shooting in Myrtle Beach and enjoyed a little of that sunshine! I'm planning to add an a6300 in a few weeks specifically for video work, so I'm glad to hear this is an area of strength.
+Dustin Abbott P.S. It was great to see cameo appearances by Kyle and Toby!!
Loved the ending. Good stuff!
Just started vlogging with the a6300 and video editing for our brand page - thanks so much for all the tips! Mahalos from Hawaii!
Wow! I really appreciate you guys thinking about people who don't have a lot of time but still want an honest review. Loved the TL;DW part. Thanks a lot. :)
What are the changes of you getting the XPro2 in hands? I think both aps-c sensors should perform nearly the same.. but i would think the Fuji would get a better dynamic range for landscape and better ISO performance (even with corrected ISO).
I loved the review. Great video.
Thanks guys. This is a great, honest, balanced and informative review. I'll probably buy the a6300, but now I know which cases I shall use my other equipment.
Great presentation guys!
Great review I am glad it wasn't like the Artisans reviews. You pointed out better options, and gave your honest opinion. This is why I trust your reviews and really take what you say to heart.
Can you do a comparison between the a6300 and the RX100 M4? I'd really love to see that!
this might be the best video ive ever seen on youtube on my 2560x1600 monitor
love your stuff
+herbyverstink Thanks!
Thank you Tony and Chelsea for reinforcing my gut feeling on waiting for this camera. I was always wondering if the jump to the 6300 would change things, but for my workflow that is not the case. You speak of a jack of all trades and master of none. That this camera is good at a lot of things. You would be surprised on how many of your points the Panasonic flagship bridge camera the FZ1000 can fill in those needs. Just my two cents. Thanks for the video
I ordered the Sony 6300, but then took the leap of faith (and many reviews on TH-cam, Including Tony & Chelsea's) and upgraded it to a Sony A7RM2. The results are amazing and I've not even tested with the Sony GM lenses (also on order) yet. Great review guys.
My favorite videos are when you guys travel or are outside. Thanks for sharing!
+digitalartwerks Ours, too :).
best tech video i have ever seen! bravo!
how does the low light / high iso compare to the Canon 6D ? im looking to replace my 6D and do photo and video
How are you liking the Everyday Messenger bag? I've noticed it on a few of your videos but I don't think you've reviewed it. If you have, could you link the video?
Top!
Quick question: can you guys do a picture quality comparison vs. other cameras like 80D, 7D etc some time in the future. I am thinking of switching from canon and am really interested to see the picture quality difference.
+Phil Knirck One word. "Glass".
Great review Tony & Chelsea! I'm lovin the video out of it. Too bad I'm not cool enough to be invited to such events haha :)
+MichaelTheMentor I’m surprise that you and Dave Dugdale were not invited. You make some of the best camera comparison videos out there with heavy emphasis on the Auto Focus system. You would be the perfect tester for the a6300.
+MichaelTheMentor You're still awesome, I love your videos
+MichaelTheMentor - I really like your video on Auto Focus with the D7000 Series - It is great Michael. I send that Video to friends if they buy Nikon and will continue to do so. I put together a playlist that includes you, Chelsea and Tony among others - all Nikon focused for the most part. You should be included.
+MichaelTheMentor Sony needs to upgrade their standards. :P
+MichaelTheMentor You're too hot to handle the A6300.
Sony was afraid the A6300 would overheat just by you touching it.
Tony & Chelsea are cool, that's why the invite snub.
Great job!
This is one of the most all around informative and balanced approaches to a general use cameras I've seen. Even better It has help to remind me of a sense of balance I wish to achieve in my expectations and use of photography at this point in my life.
Sense 4K with all its largesse encumbrances is something I still wish to avoid, I'll stick with my Olympus EM-5II. Coming from the days of 35mm film cameras, and moving to the digital world with Canon T2i which I found to be a very good learning tool. I find the EM-5II a joy to use in comparison to any camera I have use previously. The stability of the 5-axis system has given me sharper pictures then I could have imagined. I find I'm using the tripod a lot less than before (less gear to carry). The number of assignable buttons, the greater ease of the menu system has made this one of the most intuitive and flexible cameras I've ever used. With a very small canvas bag (again, less gear to carry) I can carry around three lens and the camera which has translated into having the camera with me much more often. The beautiful light and compact lens with this able camera, of course has some limitations, but it sure has brought back a new sense of pleasure in photography.
Many Thanks again, you two
Nice review, cool surprise ending XD
For the screen being hard to see in bright sunlight, there is a setting (in A6000) that changes the screen brightness. I changed it to the preset "Sunny Weather" and found the result surprisingly good.
Tony&Chelsea, what camera were you using to shoot this video?
Do you think thats Stills a good one instead 6d? Do you prefer a 6d or this one relative to image quality?
What adapter would you recommend one to use to ensure that Sigma zoom lens electronically communicates with the camera? Correct me if I am wrong, but I'm not sure that the metabones ef to e mount adapter works properly with non cannon brand lenses. I have not tested this myself though
Apart from from the video,If i use good lenses(like 24-70 gm) will i get close quality still images compared to the a7 series or dslrs?
I'm planning to get the camera with sigma 30 1.4 dc, is there another lens you would recommend to get with the 30mm in an reasonable price? Thank you.
Hello! How are you! One question: to record video as video clips between these two options, sony alpha a6300 and panasonic lumix gh4, which one would you choose and why? Keep in mind that you need good bokeh, cinematographic takes and above all that you can edit the video to have the best quality of video offered by these two cameras. thank you.
Hi Tony. What kind of camera bag are you using in the last shot ? Great video as always.
Great info, thanks gang!
Thanks guys a useful review. Hopefully SONY will listen to your criticisms.
Great review.
very helpful. tks for the review.
my biggest gripe about the a6000 has been it's difficulty in focusing in low light. has this improved with the a6300?
I'm currently in the market for a $1000-1200 camera, and considering this. I currently have a a6000, but not a lot invested in e-mount lens. I mostly do weddings, wedding video, and portraits. I like the video features of the a6300 but I'm not sure if it's what I need. 4k is nice but not needed. 120p is nice 60p is needed. still fps doesn't matter. Should I with the a7, and use a6000 for video. Thought about the new 80d but waiting for your review. or should I just wait and save for a a7s. open to thoughts and suggestions as far as set up?
hi, i'm a bit confused to take the sony a6300 or sony a7. any tips? i want shoot video too, but for now i don't need 4K. i'm a landscape, travel and portrait photographer
Very good review!
Tony, how are you liking; or not, the Peak Designs bag? And is there enough room in it for a DSLR and lenses; 5D sized body, 16-34 f4L, 100L and 70-200 f4L, and if yes, would there be 'any' space left for extras; lens cloth, spare battery, card wallet, blower?
The Chelsea flip at 5:38 made my jaw drop. She is awesome! Nice review.
sony A6300 does not have in body stabilization. So how do you recommend a lens like Sigma 18-35mm F1.8 without any in lens stabilization?
Great review guys
+Daniel Singh Thanks!
Tony,
Just got the a6300 and noticed that when I switch from photo to video the screen/monitor both darken significantly even on auto settings and the un-edited video also seems off like your bus clip from 11:28. Seems to be fairly flat and dim regardless on if it is 1080 or 4k. Maybe the sLog is on and I don't know how to turn it off?
Photos have been awesome, but video seem to just be off.
Thanks
Jon
Tony, I did a firmware update on the a6300 and it seems to have helped. The screen still dims 2 full brightness levels while filming compared the photos, however, the video itself looks correct now. Searching online, it looks like other Sony customers of various models have had this issue the last few weeks. There are also currently rampant issues downloading the paid apps with the market place.
Still interested in knowing how to turn on/off sLog though.
Thanks a ton
Jon
I currently have a canon T7i, i found a 400 bucks sony A6300, would this. E a big improvement from the canon T7i???
Bought the A6300 yesterday before I saw this video, but I'm glad I did because I may have waived over going to the A7mkII. (My bak manager may have had a comment or two in that regards!)
I've been using a Cannon Powershot SX210 IS for years whilst the kids grew up so the Sony was a major step up into the real world of photography. Two weeks ago I didn't now my F stop from a bus stop but your videos have helped change that.
This video confirms my descion in that I want something small and light that doesn't need a backpack to tote around. The Sony is small and light enough and I've ditched the kit 16-50mm for a 50mm prime so I can get most of what I shoot. A second hand 55-210mm OSS for the kids sports events completes my kit, for now. I've also gone out and bought two additional batteries which aren't as high a capacity as the stock Sony but I hope should cover my recreational type use. Would love to see an 'over the shoulder' video of how you use the A6300 in various type of photography. Especially like the ability of the A6300 to save regular used settings in a profile. Perhaps you could do a video showing the settings for sports, portraits, wedding functions and outdoor landscapes?
Really liked the format of this video and I'm going to try your book to get somewhere near being able to do the A6300 justice. At the moment its a racehorse being used to deliver milk! Definitely not regretting my chioce of camera, for my needs its awesome.
+Marvin_PA We'll make a tutorial just for the a6300, but the a6000 tutorial should work fine for now (they're almost identical): th-cam.com/video/OQ1-lTg6AoQ/w-d-xo.html
Also check this video out: th-cam.com/video/xWXBS1D5aSk/w-d-xo.html
Great Review, Thanks
Perhaps your best review ever! Great job guys.
Really well done. They've certainly left room to iterate by omitting ibis. I also agree with previous statements of yours re. a focus point nubbin. They could build out the OK button, rubberize it and and have it default to the flexible spot's/ zone focus control. Leave it clickable like a game controller thumbstick.
So I'm going to be picking up a camera mainly to produce short films and various video projects. These projects are going to be pretty run-and-gun(ish), as must amateur films are. Would this be an ample camera? Or should I be looking for something else? The rolling shutter issues concern me greatly, and it makes me want to pick something else up.
+TehBrownCow We don't recommend the a6300 as a serious video camera because it lacks a headphone jack and regularly overheats. Check sdp.io/whichcamera for more recommendations.
does it have, like the GH4, clean HDMI out to 10 bits 4:2:2 ? Of it it has HDMI out it it's just 8 bit 4:2:0?
Hey Tony love your channel. I had a question I was wanting your input on. There are days when I take my camera out for some photos but might not want to drag all of my gear out for the whole day. Do you have any tips or advice for keeping gear safe from high temperatures if it's left in the car?
on Amazon, there is a Sigma 18-35mm for sony. Is that native for the a6300?
Nice Review. Thanks for the pros AND cons of the camera. I get really tied of "infomercial" caliber reviews.
Was expecting Tony to pull off a Don Johnson at the end, driving one of those power boats, Miami Vice style, shades n all.
Any recommendations for a portrait lens, APSC or Full Frame lens?
great review
Good video and review.
wow amazing review.
Appreciate the honesty.
Thanks guys for putting the effort and time into producing great content. ALSO, I really appreciate your "Fair Disclosure" statements to lead off the video. You build integrity one action at a time, but you can lose it all at the speed of light. Keep up the great work!
I'm looking for a new camera - I guess. Right now I have a Sony Alpha DSLR 550 and a Sigma 70-200mm f/2.8 EX DG HSM II lens.
Well, my problem is that I want to take video, and that's a thing that isn't possible with a550. So I can't decide wether I should choose to have a new camera for my Sigma lens (and I have been looking at a6300) or a sony videocamera.
What do you think? Should i buy a videocamera and keep my a550, or a should I choose a6300? Or should I look after a camera from Canon instead?
I really like to take pictures, but I would like some videos too. It's of my horse in full action through the fields.
Hope you will help me.
i wanted the Sony a6000 but the Sony a6300 looks interesting. wich one shoul i buy?
One thing that I liked a lot about this review was the amount of alternatives given. Very often when Sony, Sigma or whatever invites someone to review their product, the review is something like:"Oh yes, it was the best thing ever, everything else is rubbish", while here T&C immediately mention alternatives, even from other camera makers.
Will you be reviewing the new X-Pro2 any time soon?
great review, I really love my A6000, the only downside has been the lens adapter for canon lenses, but besides that, I have taken this camera for most of my trips lately and made some nice videos out of it! :) Hope to upgrade soon to 4K with this one ;)
Hi Guys... I'm currently using a mix of my Osmo + and 7D2 DSLR and Phantom 4 pro for Real Estate... really wanting to get something a little lighter in terms of camera and something that does good lower light 4K for the darker interiors... Im also using the Wing 7 from Edelkrone and my 7D2 setup is a little too heavy for that...
Any help or insight would be awesome :)
ir should i buy the Sony a7 used at a cheeper price ?
Greetings from México.
I'm really considering getting this as a backup camera to my A7 III for weddings. I'll eventually get another A7 III, but this would be really useful as a travel camera, too.
is the image quality better than the NX500?
What do you recommend for street photography?
I'm looking for a camera to use for both images and some vlogging at times. I've been looking at the a5100, a6000, a6300, g7, gx8... well there are a lot. What is my cheapest option if I want 4k, interchangeable lense, viewfinder and maaayyybe and articulating screen?
Atm it looks like I'm better off just buying a used lumix lx100 until price drops on the a6300.
You could just buy a go pro hero 4 and get the silver orblack with a lcd screen
It overheats on a 78-degree day? Fail.
nice review!! ihaveab a6000 it doesn't seem upgrade will help me as a landscape shooter better to invest in lenses
I love the shot of chris nichols from tcs tv. Another of my favorite camera reviewers.
nice one guys loved it, even though i'm not really feeling the camera.
+Tony Northrop - Great review, thanks for the insight! One follow-up on the overheating in the sun. Was this a one-time thing or did it happen to you multiple times while using the camera (or hear about it happening to anyone else)?
+Sean Nicolaysen Just the one time.
Hi Tony......i want to make horror feature film for theatrical release.... In india normally film released in 2k size. ............Can i use sony a6300 for feature film shoot. ...over heat is not a problem for me . i only want better 4k video ....Please reply
Thanks Tony, I always enjoy your honest camera review. Is this compatible with LA-EA3 adapter?
+Andy Yoon You're welcome. We didn't test that adapter, but I think Hugh Brownstone did.
Will I be able to used my Canon lenses on this camara??
