- The Sony A6400 APSC crop sensor camera is the successor to the A6300, and even to some degree the Sony 6500. I bought one, really wanted to like it ...but realized there was no way I could use this camera. This video explains why.

There’s the automatic assumption that newer is better. I like the honesty of this review!
I am from China, English is not my mother tongue, and your speaking speed is not slow, I don't know why but I can understand every word you express, you are awesome
thank you for this video , i did not know this , no one did this type of video , thank you very much!
I don’t have that problem with my A6400
Do you have the review feature on?
I have it off and just play the image I want to see which is not every single one. You can trust the autofocus.
Love the channel keep up the great work and don’t stress. I thought you were gonna get something live on the video 😜
your point is very legit. And yes, nobody else has pointed that out in any review as far as I know.
I just wanted to say I also was frustrated the a6400 viewfinder being very soft. I found there is actually a viewfinder resolution setting in the menu which makes it the same as the a6500 again, I was so relieved when I found it, I love the camera again now 🤣 I also found after a lot of testing the 'deep' picture profile gives a very pleasing kodacrome style image.
I hadn't heard about the blurry image review, very interesting "feature". Makes me wonder if it's common.
Also interesting that you leave image review on, I didn't expect to hear that. It does make perfect sense...and I should really do it too.
Your a good guy Marcus. Love the channel and your enthusiasm and efforts. Photography is a career of mine, has been for 20 years.... and I wish i ran into more of my peers with your positivity. Its a small world, perhaps we'll run into each other someday. Keep it going. Thanks.
I love how 'matter of fact' you are.
I always look forward to your posts.
I have the a6400 and I have never had these issues....I take pictures from time to time, but mostly shoot videos.....
a6300 is an incredible camera. should never sell it just to have since it's discontinued
Fact brother
I agree about the sizing of things. I own a Ford ranger because I love small trucks; legit small pickup trucks don't exist anymore. It's a complete bummer!
Also, best of luck to those who enter to win the 6400. I love my original Canon M and am sticking with it.
But it IS a gift so it shouldn't be taxable.
yeah perhaps show them this vid when collecting the cam and hope they are reasonable for once. Might work.
I think you need to do flexible tracking with the A6400 to see how it is better than doing manual focus.
You made me 100% happier about owning my A6300 as a photographer. This camera has been a beast camera.
I never do instant review. So this is not an issue.
In this video, he says he waited a year; and his firmware is updated. So...
probably just your copy who knows. Mine is not blurry. and the Eye AF works just fine. Its way faster than my a6300 in both video and photo.
Hi Markus
Love the channel.
I swapped two A6500 for two A6400 cause I do as much video as stills.
Also using vintage lenses more as I find manual focus is still faster as models don't move that far that I can't say "hold it" or whatever if I need to make a tiny change in focus.
I keep focus peaking on but ignore it if I want, Some of the best and classic fashion photography was done on manual focus.
I don't shoot check ,shoot check it's too slow.
I started on film and you relied on your eyes, you just shoot and make sure your in focus before you take the shot,not after.
For me the ability to be able to focus on what you want and not rely on a the camera locking on the eyes is part of good photography.
We have got this idea pictures must be tack sharp like it was taken by a robot and judge pictures often by a criteria that's more technical than it is artistic.
Maybe I'm just old school as I remember shooting on Pentax 6x7 and cameras weren't judged just by their sharpness.
Keep up the good work.
My fav channel right next to camera conspiracies
WooHoo! I love my 6300 just a little more!👍
Thank you for this Info i can't believe how big companies are doing these silly things in an upgrade.
Everyone should subscribe to your channels. You're always positive and uplifting. Truly an inspiration and have been for many years. To this day I eat dandelion because of you. I remember the first time I tried it, my family thought I was nuts Haha! Very bitter but I always feel better after. Wish everyone knew about them and your green formula. Honestly I don't know how you do so much. Much love!
Give me cx 405 camcorder im new vlogger 🇵🇰🇵🇰🇵🇰🇵🇰🇵🇰🇵🇰🇵🇰🇵🇰🇵🇰
Great video! Finally someone that speaks from their mind and not a script. You can tell that you've spent time with both and really know what is better.
I want to get the a6400 for half video/half stills, but its a tad out of my price range. The a6300 would be fine, but the overheating is the only thing thats worrying me.
Great tips Markus, but in overalls for video.The a6400 is nonetheless a great bang for your bucks to go for this system. thanks for the generosity again Markus. good luck to all the entry
Does anyone know if other 6000 series cameras have the same problem with the viewfinder preview being blurry? I was ready to buy the 6400 but since I use the viewfinder a lot I'm contemplating again. If someone knows if it's only 6400 problem or if they fixed it, please let me know.
I arrived 3 years late. :(
I don’t understand why people would pay more for the a6400... can you tell me?!?
You basically pay a little extra money for more features which might be not necessary at all for some people(and new features come with great failures)
And since you only pay for new features you basically get the same results in the end?!? You can’t even tell a difference between the image or video quality?! Really Sony?! No wonder they put off the a6300 ... they knew the camera was perfect for its price.
What do you think about this strategy from Sony?
Thanks for the help man almost made a mistake purchasing a a6400
You think that's strange...
My Sony camera is possessed 👹
My Sony RX10M4 takes photographs that I didn't take and they look better than the ones that I took.
Explanation, when I take a photograph of a person the camera automatically somehow centers the person and crops the person and produces another image in the camera I don't know how the hell the camera is doing this but not really complaining I got some good shots out of it.
Oh by the way the images aren't cropped from another image as the cropped images have full resolution which is completely nuts.
Sony - the twilight zone camera 🍥
Enjoyable channel........Two guys just stole your lawnmowers......it was out of focus.....must be a canon
One more demonstration that your opinion is frankly valid. It's undoubtedly your honest opinion. Pure and Raw. Not jpeg.
One more reason for me to enjoy watching your videos. Always your honest opinion, P and Raw.
I just wish I could have one of this to improve my videos I will be very happy
All I know is autofocus in video.... coming from a GX85 😅
I wish i saw this earlier, i would win this camera for church Sunday live streaming
I have used long time my A6300 and switched to A7iii, I have the same feeling, that something is going wrong and that my older A6300 has made better pictures. But in the Lightroom all pictures are fine and pretty sharp...
Hey is this giveaway still available?? I just came up on your channel..I really love your videos, they motivate me a great deal.. i awaiting your reply. Thank you
Please read the description below the videos for winners announcement th-cam.com/video/-dfTRI9SCqo/w-d-xo.html
@@MarkusPix thanks
bro... that you can fix in the settings.. review quality LOL
I love how you helped camera Conspiracies. That was awesome. I need the 6400 in my life for my Facebook livestreams. And it would really inspire me to work on TH-cam.
I could totally get how that could be annoying for still shooters. Never knew the a6400 had this problem so thanks for pointing it out.
How do you manual focus if the subject is moving too fast for the the AF..... how do you manual focus fast enough? And no, you never get a full res image - no EVF today is 6000x4000. I get your issue. I wish the EVF had been upgraded. I haven't personally upgraded to the 6400 yet, probably won't because the 6300 is working for me. But still.
I focus on the head, the model usually stays within a certain range th-cam.com/video/uWvh0uBEKaQ/w-d-xo.html Autofocus on the other hand becomes unpredictable if the head moves too much, it often looks for the nearest high contrast area, which is often trees in the background. When I say full rez image, I didn't mean the EVF having same resolution as the final image, I meant high quality- like a jpeg at max quality vs a low quality jpeg which is what video codecs often do when having to create 30 images per second which is a lot of processing which is why cameras often overheat-so they lowered the eyepiece compression quality so the processor doesnt have to work so hard. But this shouldn't be the default setting for stills.
what a rant!!!! jajajajaja you made me laugh because.... you are absolutely right!!!!! i have this camera and its true..... :( Thanks for sharing!!!!! i love your videos very much!!!
maybe your subject needs to slow down a bit ...lol
Thanks for the important info on the A6400. The Rav4 was a great example. I thought they were cute when they first came out, but they're just like every other mid-size SUV now. Super-funny bit at the end, when you were talking about friends.
4:48
xD perfectionism at its finest
Stop whinging and give your A6400 to me😊
Dear Markus, I can feel your pain but I never use the preview picture feature. I just spray and pray. That is the right approach with fast moving subjects.
Not if you're using flash
Most of all using this cameras for video
work around, turn image preview off :) that's how I use my cameras. I fully immerse in a shooting action and review images later. :)
That makes no sense when shooting flash photography which I do all the time. I need instant feedback.
That lack of good instant review is why I did NOT go with some of canon’s later offerings. In their case it goes black for a while AFTER a moment etc. Annoying as hell!
I’ve not seen this info about a6400 anywhere, super helpful review here!!
Thank you Markus because this is great information.
@MarkusPix Yes you are the only person in the world still taking pictures. Just kidding of course. Man you are a machine. Wow I also just noticed that TH-cam sent me go to an old video. They are all GREAT so it doesn't matter. It is like going to photo university watching your videos. I like them ALL. :)
waow...that's some news for Sony! And considering the a6400 is not even a year old and has already been replaced by the very good a6600, is just putting all Sony buyers who got into the 6400, a bunch of disappointed customers...and with no hope of a firmware update to fix that... it is crazy when you think about it. This is the brand behind the a7RIII and now IV. #sonydoesntloveitscustomers
Your smallest camera, blurry background videos led me to buying an interchangeable lens camera... and I eventually bought an a6400 :P Anyways, thanks for pushing me into the right direction. I wont qualify for your giveaways, just wanna say thanks!
Tjey shoukd have done the flipup like my a5100. More solid feel to it. The time i bought my sony, i had to get a gimbal with it, causing my budget to be a5100. Got a 2nd hand zhiyun crame m. The only problem is it over heats easily. Only fix to get another 5mins shot is to restart the cam everytime it over heats, i just make sure i always restart the cam when its already hot so i know itll give me 5min max recording.
Thank you, there is no substitute for reviews based on real-life experience with a camera.
Wow, thanks so much for the info... I cannot recall anyone else pointing this out!
Omg bro try to shoot burst ....
Wow didn't knew that the preview needs time to load. Thanks for sharing.
For people living abroad, yes you have to pay the duty fees. But you can have that money back when you do your taxes...I think lol
M I the only one left in the world taking pictures??" 🙂🙂 u gave me a smile. I guess maybe the only that is not getting bribed by Sony and says what is true. ut i understand exactly what u saying. In my case though i got to this video searching for a comparison on video shooting capacity/ quality between the 2 camera as i own a 6300 i already know about overheating and recording time limit problems solved in the 6400 but i want find out if the quality and capacity improved like shooting 4k at 50 and 60fps. But thank u very much cause i really learned something new about the 6400.
I'll gladly accept any gear you don't want to keep!
Thank you sir, have a 6300 this one kept me from "upgrading"
Oh ya, I've had the 6400... its all true.
I wish more reviewers would point out the flaws like this. They would become much more believable when they rave about the good points. It would also help manufacturers realize when they made a mistake.
So true! Would love to try it out, too! Searching for a second camera for our channel Markus :) Maybe the a6400 needs some detox ;) We should put some chlorella inside :p
I hate how so many reviews out there are biased and omit important details. Happy to see a giveaway available outside the US!!! I couldn't enter the last one, you're a kind man Markus, I hope i win :D
The Sony twilight zone camera 🤬
Good point Marcus. Hey if you can't use it, others would gladly take it (like me). I have been a long time subscriber here, i entered your giveaway.
you really don't like this camera!
Very interesting thoughts here. However, I noticed the same thing with my D750 and a6000. I thought I had blurry pics but got home and they were perfect. I was flipping out on the shoot thinking my lenses are messed up. It’s crazy this video came out today because I’m expecting my a6400 to show up at my door any second today. Now I’m curious to know if I should sell it now. I waited a year to buy one and never heard anyone complain about this problem. I’m going to ask around now. Thanks for the heads up.
Does it has the problem or not?
Any thoughts on the A-6600?
Does it do the same when using the playback of photos? Hope its only preview after shooting
This is really a big problem for stills photographers. And nobody is talking about. I´ve never heard of. Thank you so much.
What country are you in? I'm in the USA, and afaik, customs doesn't charge on incoming from outside here. I've been sent plenty of things for free and that I purchased, from several overseas countries, and never once had to deal with customs/import duty fees. I definitely need a major upgrade, though, been using a Canon PowerShot SX160 IS for a good 5-6 years now, for vlogging, review videos, miniatures photography, and still shots for stop-motion animation, and boy howdy is it ever showing it's age. Talk about limited quality, heh. Thanks for the giveaway, I hope to be able to enter asap! Also, keep up the awesomeness, both of you!
I have sent my Entry, Hoping to win this Camera. Thanks Sir for keeping this Giveaway
Thanks for sharing these details because I’m learning about cameras and this is so good to know!
Thanks for the info about the review in photo. No one did ever say that problem about the photo review coming out blurry.
Congratz to the winner of the a6400
mickey mouse got me lmao😭😭
I am lucky with draws, so if Kasey of Camera Conspiracies hasn't won in the last 6 months (I heard you blessed him once already) send it to him. Help him..help him.. just throw a blank A4 in the hat. Cheers and thank you for the insight.
I wonder if that's what happens with my canon camera. But it could also be I suck at focusing hahaa
How does this get dislikes?
Subscribe. And enjoy the 6400. (glad I got 6300 when I last upgraded) Shout out to the NEX-7 that's still gong strong.
Thanks for the video, I was looking at upgrading to the a6400 but now seeing this I may just stock to my Sony NEX6 and by the way I care as I take photos so I am not a vlogger.
You just saved me $1000
I agree with you 100%, I do not use the picture preview due I review my images Little but later using the PLAY button but!!! It is a function and should work, and yes, it is about the same exact camera than the Sone a6300 you sent me which is A GREEEEAAAAT CAMERA!
I have the a6400 and I've just tested it, it doesn't show a low res review but it does take a a second to zoom to 100%, which is OK but overall I'm really pissed by the operation speed of the a6400 like starting up, switching modes, zooming in, I haven't used other Sony cameras, are they all like this, is the a6300 better in this regard?
DUDE! Your pain and frustration are oozing out of my monitor and onto my desk. I'm going to opt for the 6300 or 6500. Used 6300s are a steal now .
WOW!! That would be frustrating, specially if you doing a fashion shoot. Normally you are very positive and uplifting. That is why I enjoy your videos, along with your creativity, and fab photos you capture.
yea, I thought I would want the 6400 but I think ill just stick with my a6300 for now. I'm really saving for my dream setup. a7iii with the 85mm, 70-200mm, and 200-600mm
I was just hoping for a a6400 for videos. I m an Uber driver in Chicago and trying to save money for this. This is perfect that you are giving this away to us subscribers/fans. Thank you in advance in case my luck will make you pick me. Learn a lot from your videos, appreciate your great work.
Thanks for being so generous!
I love watching you take pictures of your girlfriend Kara. (I hope I spelled that correctly.) Loving the slo mo of her hair flying. Of course I'm watching this 6 months too late. lol I have a question. I'm of course on a small budget (hey I'm retired not working and have a lot of time on my hands) but I'm making a life changing move. I've a created a puppet stage about 6 feet by 10 feet in my home studio to showcase my music. I've bought black curtains, for the sides and a green screen on the wall behind the black curtain for editing in other videos along with the show. I used mic stands to attach 100w dimmable lights with mesh covers and 4 ft fluorescent lights for the green screen lighting and mini spot lights mounted on the ceiling about 12 feet from the wooden stage. My 6 foot stage is 4 feet high and I'm going to be underneath to control the puppets. So far I've ordered a small motorized slider and I have all the puppets staged with professionally scaled instruments to perform and ready to shoot. My only problem is the video camera's. I am using a Go Pro 3+ and another small Chinese bought Minigo camera. My question is should I shoot with these 2 camera's (1080p) or try to get my resources together to buy a worthy camera to video the performances. What would you suggest would be the best affordable camera to use for my project.
I've been watching your videos for some time and you have many creative ideas and are very knowledgeable about cameras and how to use them. I want to make the most professional looking video (also impressive as well) so if something happens and I get the Covid 19 virus and die I will finally have a worthy project to remember me to future family and audiences. Thanks for any input you may give. Stay safe...
Honest review 😮
Things that make me go hmm... been going back and forth on the sony platform a6400/6300 and panasonic platform and kind of wondered how they "solved" the overheating issues without changing the hardware. All my video is on a tripod so I lean towards sony apsc and then I look at the price of glass and lean back towards the g85. Have my money in hand waiting for a "deal" but I'm getting to the point where I'm seeing some guys can make great pictures with a couple of pieces of glass and other guys can't make good pictures with a 10k rig. I'm overdue to just pull the trigger on just about anything and get on with generating content.
I totally understand what you mean. The feel of using. Feeling great to use must be thing to enjoy and love. I even notice how buttons sound, how item feels in hand etc. materials, sounds and smell.
Thanks for the info..i am debating if im going to buy the a6400.I am more on Photoshoot not a video so a6300 based frommyour review.i sub already.
Funny ending 😂
Oh no 🤦🏻♂️ the overhyped A6400 has such ridiculous glitches 🙊
Crap! Almost bought a6400. Your articulation is genuine. I loved this video.
Surprising. But I can totally understand your point. Not too much of a deal breaker for me. So, submission sent.
