Just bought the a6400 (2 days ago)..... This is so overwhelming especially since my only camera before this was a nikon D3200. This channel definitely pushed me to get this and I couldn't be happier.
i had a D3400 and want to switch for any of these 2 cameras of the video, what would yo recommend me and how you feel with this changed from dslr to mirrorless
@@Sergio98monster it's a Huuuge step up in terms of video quality. Still shoots are great as well but that depends Alot on the lens that you have. I love my A6400 and am very glad I made the switch.

i bought the a6400 based off this video and i've had it for a couple months and I love it so far, even tho i love the photos a full frame camera takes i dont mind standing a little further back to get that sort of full frame look 😁
I purchased the A6400 a few weeks ago and I absolutely love it. Great for both stills and video. I was extremely surprised at how good the kit lens is. Overall, it's the best bang for the buck at the moment. As always, great video and keep up the good work.
Congrats Phil! I agree with you that it's great for both still and video and that the kit lens is a very good value. Appreciate the support and kind words.
i am thinking in buying any of these to, i would like to hear what make you purchased this one, should i wait until december for any offerts? or do you thinks if there are going to be good deals? , i love photography and video,
im buying today, cant decide between 16-50 or 18-135. mainly vlog. im jumping from canon and have a 10-18mm which i would love to get working with a6400
@@Sergio98monster i chose the a6400 mainly because of all the features you get for a thousand dollars less than the a7iii. It also has the newer processor which is the same one as the a9.
@@RobertGillespie the 16-50 works fine for me. In my opinion, the 18-135 would only benefit if you did sports or other macro photography. Canon lenses are great but I've heard sony af doesn't work as well when used with an adapter or speed booster
Bought the a5100 for my wife a few months ago thinking she could use my 24-240 lens on it since she likes super zooms and the flip screen was perfect for taking selfies while we're on vacation. But that 24-240 felt like it was going to break the mount on that camera. So I was looking for a smaller lens and decided on the 18-135mm sony lens. Well that lens is $600! Yada yada yada..."my wife" has a new a6400 with the 18-135mm. Just picked it up last night but it's well worth the price just in body construction alone. And with the animal eye autofocus, my little Teddy is going to have some killer pics without being focused in on his wet lil nose.
Thank you so much for watching the video and taking the time to share your story/experience! Sounds like you landed on a perfect fit! What kind of dog is Teddy?
Great one, as always I watched the bloopers at the end and laughed quite a bit. You seem so serious when you do your reviews, it's great to see some funkiness in there too ;) Keep the good work up, loving your content, thanks a lot for what you put out there.
I really appreciate you taking the time to watch and for the kind words (and for the feedback about the bloopers). Thank you for joining the community 🙏 Maybe I should joke more doing the video 😂
A very informative video and helps me a lot in choosing between A7iii and A6000. I di fair bit of travelling, so I choose A6400 because of weight and size. Also I have my A6000 since 2014 and bought some APSC lens so I think I'll stick with the APSC format.
Great video. Unfortunatley I still don't know which one to buy. I like the flip up screen on the a6400 but I prefer the sensor in the a7 iii. I definately want 4k and these are two of my top options along with the Fuji XT-3 and the Nikon Z6. I think I've definatley eliminated the Nikon for having only one XQD card. It 's a really hard choice, all of these cameras look fantastic. Have you tried the hack on the a7 iii to have a flip up screen? (I mean the piece you can print using a 3D printer).
Those are all good choices for sure. Tell me more about the Z6 XQD card issue - I haven't looked at that camera yet. I have not tried the 3D print flip up piece... but I will tell you the X-T3 is probably my favorite mirrorless camera right now (other than the controls).
@@TechGearTalk thanks for your reply! The issue with the Nikon Z6 is that it only has one card slot and this is an XQD card. According to most experts this type of card is going to get obsolete. CFexpress and SD UHS-III will be the new standards (and also faster than XQD). On top of this XQD are hard to find and very expensive. So. even though I own 2 Nikon lenses I believe the Sony a6400, Sony A7 III and XT-3 are better options. IMO a7 III > XT-3 > a6400 in terms of image quality. From all the reviews I've seen a6400 > a7 III > XT-3 in terms of user experience (how much does the user need to fiddle with the cameras). Then the XT-3 has more video options including 4K 60f. I'm mostly going to use the camera indoors with a tripod and I use an external sound recorder. However, I was thinking of doing some vlogging every now and then. I know for this the a6400 would be ideal, but for the indoor scenario probably the other options are better. For a better image and better bokeh the a7 III is better. And then you have the XT-3 with all its options...It is a hard call for me.
It's a hard call and an easy call at the same time. The hard part is that you have 3 good options, but the easy part is that you have 3 good options 😂 I would prioritize what you're going to do most of the time. If you think you want the image quality/shallow depth of field of the a7iii, and most of the time you're on a tripod, I would prioritize that over the "some vlogging every now and then" What do you think?
@@TechGearTalk thank you very much for your help. I agree 100% with you. I'm actually going to print that mirror piece and try it on a A7 III camera. If it works, then that will be my new camera! :)
You're very welcome. Menu system will be the same, as far as customizing the buttons you'll have extra functions on the a7iii. Here's how I set up the a7iii: th-cam.com/video/K_iz3d9Qth8/w-d-xo.html if you're interested.
Nice comparison! I have the a6400 and am thinking of getting the a7siii. Do you think the a6400 is worth keeping for the 24mp pictures or should I just use the a7siii for pics with the 12 mp??? How do you think the quality would compare?
I just threw down for an a7iii as an upgrade from my 6300. It was either that or a nikon z6 but I decided on sony because I could keep using my sigma lenses. Anyhow I'm up at 2am regretting the money I've spent while I wait for shipping and this video gave me a little comfort 👌 thanks dude
I was using the a5100 with kit lens and Sigma 16mm f1.4 and also a yongnuo 50mm f1.8 with andoer adapter (super slow and inaccurate auto focus). I was contemplating to buy the a7iii and use the current lens in apsc crop mode. Later, i changed my mind and bought the a6400 + sony sel 35mm f1.8 + sigma 56mm f1.4 which cost me 200usd less than an a7iii body only. And any adapted lens auto focus works great with the a6400.
ONE OF THE BEST VIDEO ABOUT 2 POPULAR SONY CAMERAS. thank you so much, your explanation and guidence are great with no spite and attention to detailes like lagging of motion picture in external monitor.
I'm new to photography and am looking to mainly get into shooting food and landscape (on hikes). Between these two I think the a6400 is definitely more my speed. Is it worth considering other options? I've been drawn to Sony mainly because of their mounting system which I've heard is used across all their cameras. That just seems like the future proof option if I choose to upgrade to a full frame in the future. Are there any other cameras you think could beat the a6400 at a similar price point for my use cases?
That's a touch question. The cameras I use to make my videos are Canon C100 MK II. For photography, gimbal work, or slow motion I would usually grab and a7iii or the a6400. I like the user experience of the SL2 or M50 better, so I those are also used quite a bit. Sorry for the long answer...
Thanks for this video! Getting ready to invest in a new camera for my channel, and have been overwhelmed with all the choices. I’ve narrowed it down to either getting the A7c, or the a6400. It seems that although the 6400 doesn’t have a full frame sensor, it’s still good enough to shoot amazing quality video (and at a significantly lower price)..
If you have the glass priced in for full frame, I’d get the A7c. The main thing is the glass. Your full frame sony emount lenses cost MUCH more than APS-C lenses (a6400). You get one yet and if so what do you think? I’m a sony full frame shooter. Best of luck .
Wonderful review sir, really love your video🎥. Please, what is the measurable advantage degree of low light💡 of a7iii over a6400? Thanks 🙏 in anxious to hear you sir.
Thank you my friend. I have not run any types of tests that would be meaningful. I would just tell you that using the right lens and when necessary, adding a little light, will make more of a difference than ANY sensor advantage. Hope that helps!
Great video. Curious on your opinion on which camera to use in real estate photography? Also wondering on your opinon on a camera to use for real estate generally?
I’ve gotten to use my friends A7iii, & it’s amazing. But for my budget I’m prob gonna go with the a6400. I shoot a lot of video, & I do portraits. I can’t justify buying the a6600 for 1400 dollars if I can get an a7iii for 200 dollars more
So glad the channel has been helpful and that you're loving your a7iii. I use Adobe Premiere Pro (I'm on a PC) and I really like it. Are you on a Mac or PC?
That's a tough question because "do it all" could mean different things to different people. Definitely a fast zoom though. Probably a 24-70 2.8 or something close.
@@TechGearTalk yes a7iii is overwhelming because 30 min limit. I do interview based documentaries, i need camera a n b from different angles. I will use them for multiple cinematic purposes also for short movies, clips. I have met 1 person he did the same. That is a good idea. I was thinking about canon xc15 but 6400 is better option 2 sony will be good combination.
Hey Tech Gear Talk, its November 2019 now and I was wondering if you know of a camera better than the A7iii? I don't care about pictures, only videos. I would like to record sport games and also shoot indoor stuff like playing the piano and the like. Thanks!
Hi. "Better" is always a touchy word for me. Sure, there are a lot of cameras that are better than the a7iii, but are they better for you? First, let's look at it this way - are you set on using a full frame camera? Just to understand, why not use the a6400 and then spend the 1100 on lenses?
@@TechGearTalk The thing is, I don't understand the technicalities of cameras and recording. I would just want a good camera that records video really well for sport stuff and still-stuff like recording myself playing the piano (preferably out-of-the-box). Also, I wouldn't be taking any pictures with it so that's another factor. Also, $2,000 is my budget.
If your budget is 2K then the a7iii is out of the question because you'll need to spend more money on lens/es and accessories. The a6400 is a good option (look at sigma lenses). If you want a camera that is easier to use, here is another option: th-cam.com/video/3Dh2cqok6_o/w-d-xo.html
Hi. Check out the description of this video for links: th-cam.com/video/K_iz3d9Qth8/w-d-xo.html let me know if you still have questions. Hope this is helpful.
Welcome my friend. Here is what I think of first lenses: th-cam.com/video/z-x-d-K9Jfw/w-d-xo.html (something like the 28-70 would work, or the 24-70 f/4 to start with).
thank you so much for this video ! you mentioned all I wanted to know about these 2 devices ;-) I already own an A7 III and I wanted a B cam to shoot with. The a6400 seems to be the best choice for this purpose !
Hey, Amazing Content! I just needed a quick suggestion. I'm going to start filmmaking in a really short while and I'm not able to decide better value between a6100 and a6400. Would you suggest me a pick? Plus, if you have anymore suggestions for me from any other brand, please let me know. I'm just starting off in the field. Thank You!
If you compare the price of today, which camera would you choose if you can get the Sony A7iii for about 1300-1500 bucks, while the price of the A6400 is about 900-1000 bucks. I want to do more video stuff like product videos and handheld b-roll stuff. Thanks for any reply :)
Loved the video! Quick question, Which camera would you personally go with when doing Photography/Photoshoots? Is it close between them or is the a7iii way better for photography?
I take a6400 because Im amateur and still learn photography so with the a6400 cheaper than a7iii you can buy some speedlite or studio lightning for support photography skill.
Thank you so much for this video it was really helpful. I would wish to have the money to buy the sony a6400 so i could record again youtube videos and i could shoot portraits and other photos :D
Thanks for your very interesting videos. There are always very useful. I would like to address quite a specific question I am having a hard time finding an answer to online. I was getting quite excited about buying the a7iii but I have been really sad to discover that it is not possible to tap-focus using the application. As a matter of fact I suffer muscular dystrophy and, as I can't hold the camera in my hands, I completely need to be able to focus remotely. Even if it does not work as good as I would like to, I can focus and shoot with my Canon 760D using the app. That is sad because it really seems to be a minor issue compared to what the camera as to offer but it is definitely crucial to me. On the other hand, it seems that tap focusing using the app is possible (it might have something to do with the touchscreen options of this camera). Could you tell me more about that as I have seen that you have been playing around with the app a bit? I also heard about the Bluetooth remote control that seems to work quite well with the a7iii. Would that be an option? I guess it would be a bit tricky to manage focus modes in order to succeed to produce the image I want (I often like to put the on-focus object/subject on the sides of my pictures). Even if my main concern is image quality and the ability to shoot outstanding portraits this little difference could make me change my mind and decide for the A6400 over the a7iii . Thanks in advance for your help pal! (Of course, anyone having information to give about that specific issue is more than welcome to contribute!)
Hi there Johann. This is a major pain point for me as well. I have simply not found any way to do that with a Sony camera. I just reviewed the Canon M6 Mark II and the 90D. I've also reviewed the EOS R. They all have that functionality. Honestly, I would get one of those and enjoy the user experience.
What a review n comparison. Never seen such a detailed 23:37 comparison before. Can guess the amount of work u did in studying these cameras . Have subscribed the channel n wish to see ur videos of interest
⭐️ Best price for Sony A7iii Camera (updated): geni.us/sony-a7iii (affiliate) ⭐️ Best price for the Sony a6400 camera: geni.us/sony-a6400body (affiliate) NOTE (forgot to mention): The a7iii has dual SD cards which give you the ability to have an instant backup, or split your footage into 2 cards. One of the card slots is rated to support UHS-II memory cards. 15:09 I misspoke, it's 0.02 seconds.(good catch by @Stan KMT) What's up everyone?! I hope this comparison of the Sony a7iii and the a6400 sample footage and images is helpful. Did you like it? These are two of my favorite Sony 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 🙏
Oh, the a7III paired with some great glasses. 90mm 2.8 macro, 24-70mm 2.8, 85mm 1.8 and the new 135mm 1.8... that would be a dream. The truth is I can't afford them all now :(
I have A6400 for music videos, is it worth upgrading to the A7iii? Trying to see if there are any alternatives to the A7Siii, so expensive. Thanks for any responses.
Hey man great video, new to the channel but I love it so far. Still a little torn though between these two cameras. I primarily do portrait photography (maybe some pet and sports photography as well) but little to no video. Which would you say is best for that? I agree with you with getting the 6400 and getting more lenses, lighting, etc. but I always hear that full frame is the way to go. Any advice?
Hi Robert, thanks for the kind words and welcome to the channel. If money wasn't an issue, then sure, the a7iii is a really great option, but the budget issue doesn't end there. Buying full frame GM lenses is very expensive as well. Which is why I don't look at these two cameras as being "that" close in price. You can probably buy everything you need for the a6400 with just the price of the a7iii body. Look at the Sigma 56mm f/1.4 and even the 30mm. You can of course use them on the a7iii in aps-c mode, but then why get the a7iii. Thoughts?
Tech Gear Talk would you say that the 6400 is good enough to still hang in there when compared to the a7iii for portraits? I already have a few APS-C lenses as I had the a6000 and am just looking to upgrade so obviously the 6400 would make more sense I just wanted to make sure that the 6400 is a significant enough upgrade from the 6000.
Yes, I had no problems shooting portraits with the a6400. And you can save so much $ with aps-c lenses (plus you have a few. You can use the a73 in aps-c mode, but then why get it. What do you think. I’d get it for the eye auto focus alone (over the a6000)
Tech Gear Talk honestly that’s what I was hoping you’d say lol I guess I just needed to hear it from someone else so I wouldn’t think that I got some low end camera or something
Thank you my friend 🙏 It honestly brings me so much joy to hear that you are happy with your purchase. I'm glad I could be of some help throughout the process. 👊
Good question. Unless I had a specific reason to shoot full frame (and a lot of money) I would go with the a6600. Here's my review: th-cam.com/video/_WKmCpUBnT4/w-d-xo.html Let me know if you have other questions Yehoash
My favorite cameras channel, NO damn JOKES here!!!!! other youtubers are damn annoying with a lot "jokes" every minute! This channels goes seriously to the point, no waste of time here. Thanks.

Why didn't they add IBIS to A6400? Would have been a perfect camera for shooting video!
My guess is that they are saving this for the a6500 replacement that will come soon at a higher price.
And im still keep my a6300 for a6500 successor
The handheld is decently smooth with an OSS lens.
iPhonedo did a side-by-side with the a6500 and its IBIS hardly made a difference. IBIS is much better in m43 and Sony's full-frame cameras.
@Hong Kong HKer Ya, use the 2:1 rule for your shutter speed and there's no problem with stills sharpness.

This is the explanation & comparison I am looking for. Thank You very much 🥰
So glad it was helpful. Thank you for being part of the channel!
I was using the a5100 with kit lens and Sigma 16mm f1.4 and also a yongnuo 50mm f1.8 with andoer adapter (super slow and inaccurate auto focus). I was contemplating to buy the a7iii and use the current lens in apsc crop mode. Later, i changed my mind and bought the a6400 + sony sel 35mm f1.8 + sigma 56mm f1.4 which cost me 200usd less than an a7iii body only. And any adapted lens auto focus works great with the a6400.
If you don't need full frame, I would get the a6400 and extra lenses for sure!
ONE OF THE BEST VIDEO ABOUT 2 POPULAR SONY CAMERAS.
thank you so much, your explanation and guidence are great with no spite and attention to detailes like lagging of motion picture in external monitor.
I'm super glad it was helpful! Thank you for the kind words and for joining the community 🙏
I'm new to photography and am looking to mainly get into shooting food and landscape (on hikes). Between these two I think the a6400 is definitely more my speed. Is it worth considering other options? I've been drawn to Sony mainly because of their mounting system which I've heard is used across all their cameras. That just seems like the future proof option if I choose to upgrade to a full frame in the future. Are there any other cameras you think could beat the a6400 at a similar price point for my use cases?
What is your main camera?
That's a touch question. The cameras I use to make my videos are Canon C100 MK II.
For photography, gimbal work, or slow motion I would usually grab and a7iii or the a6400.
I like the user experience of the SL2 or M50 better, so I those are also used quite a bit.
Sorry for the long answer...
@@TechGearTalk Thank you :) 👍✌
You’re very welcome
Thank you for the video. You make understanding camera features so much easier.
That makes me very happy to hear. Appreciate you continuing to watch and support!
Do u think I can use a6400 for professional video or you think I should save mor money for a7ii in 2021?
This video was brilliant! Thank you! 🤓
Thank Miky - hope it was helpful.
Thanks for a great review
You're very welcome, thank you for the kind words.
Thanks for this video! Getting ready to invest in a new camera for my channel, and have been overwhelmed with all the choices. I’ve narrowed it down to either getting the A7c, or the a6400. It seems that although the 6400 doesn’t have a full frame sensor, it’s still good enough to shoot amazing quality video (and at a significantly lower price)..
Totally agree ... I am following this ...
If you have the glass priced in for full frame, I’d get the A7c. The main thing is the glass. Your full frame sony emount lenses cost MUCH more than APS-C lenses (a6400). You get one yet and if so what do you think? I’m a sony full frame shooter. Best of luck .
Wow, it is incredible how you replied to every comment of this video... anyways, the video was really good, it helped me a lot! Thanks!
So glad it was helpful Gabriel! I spend a few hours a day replying when I can.
Thank you for this review!!!! I’m looking for a new hobby. I’m gonna go with the A6400 😁
I'm super glad it was helpful! Thank you for the kind words and for joining the community 🙏
Which would you recommend for vlogging? First video I’ve watched from you and already subscribing lol. Great video
Thanks Eric. I would rather use an a6400 and have money to spend on fast lenses (like the sigma trio). Hope that helps.
Looking forward to your analysis of the A6600 vs. A7iii
Going to be a good one!
Thanks for the video, to the point description and comparison, helped alot. :)
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for being part of the channel!
Wonderful review sir, really love your video🎥.
Please, what is the measurable advantage degree of low light💡 of a7iii over a6400? Thanks 🙏 in anxious to hear you sir.
Thank you my friend. I have not run any types of tests that would be meaningful. I would just tell you that using the right lens and when necessary, adding a little light, will make more of a difference than ANY sensor advantage. Hope that helps!
Enjoyed the content. Thank you for the comparison!
Thank you so much for the feedback - I'm glad you liked it!
2:55. Actually Sony haven't used BSI sensors in a6400 (and a6600) : (
That's true. It was misreported at the time.
Great video. Curious on your opinion on which camera to use in real estate photography? Also wondering on your opinon on a camera to use for real estate generally?
I’ve gotten to use my friends A7iii, & it’s amazing. But for my budget I’m prob gonna go with the a6400. I shoot a lot of video, & I do portraits. I can’t justify buying the a6600 for 1400 dollars if I can get an a7iii for 200 dollars more
Makes complete sense to me to get the a6400
Completely agree. It’s a huge upgrade from using the Sony a6300 for 3 years
Let me know how it works out for you.
Good content helped me purchased the a7iii and don’t regret it. Had a question, what program do you recommend for video and photo editing ?
So glad the channel has been helpful and that you're loving your a7iii. I use Adobe Premiere Pro (I'm on a PC) and I really like it. Are you on a Mac or PC?
Tech Gear Talk I will definitely be check it out and I have both Mac and PC
On a mac, you can use Final Cut Pro X which is nice and easy.
Tech Gear Talk What lens do you recommend for a do it all for this camera
That's a tough question because "do it all" could mean different things to different people. Definitely a fast zoom though. Probably a 24-70 2.8 or something close.
The camera Sony a7iii has a time limit of 30 minutes when recording or this model is no longer limited?
Yes, the a7iii has a 30 minute limit. The a6400 does not.
@@TechGearTalk because of that i bought 6400 to use with a7 iii.
You mean you got both?
@@TechGearTalk yes a7iii is overwhelming because 30 min limit. I do interview based documentaries, i need camera a n b from different angles. I will use them for multiple cinematic purposes also for short movies, clips. I have met 1 person he did the same. That is a good idea. I was thinking about canon xc15 but 6400 is better option 2 sony will be good combination.
Yup, 2 a6400 would work
Thank you for info. I am planning to purchase a6400 and vlog our travel.
Hope it was helpful. It’s a great camera
Hey Tech Gear Talk, its November 2019 now and I was wondering if you know of a camera better than the A7iii? I don't care about pictures, only videos. I would like to record sport games and also shoot indoor stuff like playing the piano and the like. Thanks!
Hi. "Better" is always a touchy word for me. Sure, there are a lot of cameras that are better than the a7iii, but are they better for you? First, let's look at it this way - are you set on using a full frame camera? Just to understand, why not use the a6400 and then spend the 1100 on lenses?
@@TechGearTalk The thing is, I don't understand the technicalities of cameras and recording. I would just want a good camera that records video really well for sport stuff and still-stuff like recording myself playing the piano (preferably out-of-the-box). Also, I wouldn't be taking any pictures with it so that's another factor. Also, $2,000 is my budget.
If your budget is 2K then the a7iii is out of the question because you'll need to spend more money on lens/es and accessories. The a6400 is a good option (look at sigma lenses). If you want a camera that is easier to use, here is another option: th-cam.com/video/3Dh2cqok6_o/w-d-xo.html

New subscriber...very informative review...what lens is best when starting out with the A7iii
Welcome my friend. Here is what I think of first lenses: th-cam.com/video/z-x-d-K9Jfw/w-d-xo.html (something like the 28-70 would work, or the 24-70 f/4 to start with).
How do you manage to reply to every comment?!?🤯
It’s a lot of work - but my community is important to me. 🙏🏻
U great bro 💪
Thank you for being part of the channel!
Sony a6400 for the win !!! 😂✔️
Is that what you pick as the best value?
Another 10 video! It's a bummer canon glass won't autofocus in video mode. What's the chance of the
a7R IV working with Canon glass?
Thanks E!
My guess is that the chance is zero, lol! Not sure why Sony would want that, unless they are actually looking at the bigger picture 😉
Tech Gear Talk o
yup
Bought the a7iii recently. I am just watching this video to feel happy.
Congrats!!! And do you feel happy?
Tech Gear Talk yes ofcourse! Your videos helped me finalise my decision on the a7iii. Thanks a lot!

WELCOME! Glad you liked the video and that it was informative 👊
thank you so much for this video ! you mentioned all I wanted to know about these 2 devices ;-) I already own an A7 III and I wanted a B cam to shoot with. The a6400 seems to be the best choice for this purpose !
I'm super glad the video was helpful and thank you for the kind words and support!
Hey, Amazing Content! I just needed a quick suggestion. I'm going to start filmmaking in a really short while and I'm not able to decide better value between a6100 and a6400. Would you suggest me a pick? Plus, if you have anymore suggestions for me from any other brand, please let me know. I'm just starting off in the field. Thank You!
Thanks - watch this for the comparison: th-cam.com/video/TrAe8XaYwwY/w-d-xo.html
If you compare the price of today, which camera would you choose if you can get the Sony A7iii for about 1300-1500 bucks, while the price of the A6400 is about 900-1000 bucks.
I want to do more video stuff like product videos and handheld b-roll stuff.
Thanks for any reply :)
Loved the video! Quick question, Which camera would you personally go with when doing Photography/Photoshoots? Is it close between them or is the a7iii way better for photography?
I take a6400 because Im amateur and still learn photography so with the a6400 cheaper than a7iii you can buy some speedlite or studio lightning for support photography skill.
Excellent logic!
thank you for the thorough review. How do these camera's compare with Time Lapse?
You look so much like ross from friends like I cant and you make sick vids
I get that comment all the time 😂 glad you like the videos. Thanks for the support!
Hey great video! What lens did you use in your sample photos and videos? (Is that the kit lens 28-70?)
Thank you so much for this video it was really helpful. I would wish to have the money to buy the sony a6400 so i could record again youtube videos and i could shoot portraits and other photos :D

Hi, great review! :) Which would be a better choice for a beginner creating cinematic videos?
Both would work great. I would get the a6400 and invest in lenses.Hope this was helpful. Thanks for being part of the channel!
@@TechGearTalk Thank you! :)
Thanks for your very interesting videos. There are always very useful.
I would like to address quite a specific question I am having a hard time finding an answer to online.
I was getting quite excited about buying the a7iii but I have been really sad to discover that it is not possible to tap-focus using the application. As a matter of fact I suffer muscular dystrophy and, as I can't hold the camera in my hands, I completely need to be able to focus remotely. Even if it does not work as good as I would like to, I can focus and shoot with my Canon 760D using the app. That is sad because it really seems to be a minor issue compared to what the camera as to offer but it is definitely crucial to me.
On the other hand, it seems that tap focusing using the app is possible (it might have something to do with the touchscreen options of this camera). Could you tell me more about that as I have seen that you have been playing around with the app a bit? I also heard about the Bluetooth remote control that seems to work quite well with the a7iii. Would that be an option? I guess it would be a bit tricky to manage focus modes in order to succeed to produce the image I want (I often like to put the on-focus object/subject on the sides of my pictures). Even if my main concern is image quality and the ability to shoot outstanding portraits this little difference could make me change my mind and decide for the A6400 over the a7iii . Thanks in advance for your help pal!
(Of course, anyone having information to give about that specific issue is more than welcome to contribute!)
Hi there Johann. This is a major pain point for me as well. I have simply not found any way to do that with a Sony camera.
I just reviewed the Canon M6 Mark II and the 90D. I've also reviewed the EOS R. They all have that functionality. Honestly, I would get one of those and enjoy the user experience.
Solid review, thank you.
Thank you so much for the feedback!
You remind me of Ross from Friends.
I can see that.
lol hi Ghomri my irl friend. What a small world.
What a review n comparison. Never seen such a detailed 23:37 comparison before. Can guess the amount of work u did in studying these cameras . Have subscribed the channel n wish to see ur videos of interest
So glad it was helpful. Thank you for the kind words!!
⭐️ Best price for Sony A7iii Camera (updated): geni.us/sony-a7iii (affiliate)
⭐️ Best price for the Sony a6400 camera: geni.us/sony-a6400body (affiliate)
NOTE (forgot to mention): The a7iii has dual SD cards which give you the ability to have an instant backup, or split your footage into 2 cards. One of the card slots is rated to support UHS-II memory cards.
15:09 I misspoke, it's 0.02 seconds.(good catch by @Stan KMT)
What's up everyone?! I hope this comparison of the Sony a7iii and the a6400 sample footage and images is helpful. Did you like it? These are two of my favorite Sony mirrorless cameras for both photography and video. Let me know what you think!!

Excellent review!! Thank you so much. I’m gonna go ahead and go with the a6400!!!📸
Glad it was helpful - appreciate the kind words.
Excellent video. Loved it!
Thanks so much Nighthawk!! Which would you take?
Oh, the a7III paired with some great glasses. 90mm 2.8 macro, 24-70mm 2.8, 85mm 1.8 and the new 135mm 1.8... that would be a dream. The truth is I can't afford them all now :(
That would be an unbelievable setup 🤤
I have A6400 for music videos, is it worth upgrading to the A7iii? Trying to see if there are any alternatives to the A7Siii, so expensive. Thanks for any responses.
Great video! When it comes to shooting in the gym and outside for apparel shots and the best detail possible.. What camera would you suggest more?

Hey man great video, new to the channel but I love it so far. Still a little torn though between these two cameras. I primarily do portrait photography (maybe some pet and sports photography as well) but little to no video. Which would you say is best for that? I agree with you with getting the 6400 and getting more lenses, lighting, etc. but I always hear that full frame is the way to go. Any advice?
Hi Robert, thanks for the kind words and welcome to the channel. If money wasn't an issue, then sure, the a7iii is a really great option, but the budget issue doesn't end there. Buying full frame GM lenses is very expensive as well. Which is why I don't look at these two cameras as being "that" close in price. You can probably buy everything you need for the a6400 with just the price of the a7iii body. Look at the Sigma 56mm f/1.4 and even the 30mm. You can of course use them on the a7iii in aps-c mode, but then why get the a7iii. Thoughts?
Tech Gear Talk would you say that the 6400 is good enough to still hang in there when compared to the a7iii for portraits? I already have a few APS-C lenses as I had the a6000 and am just looking to upgrade so obviously the 6400 would make more sense I just wanted to make sure that the 6400 is a significant enough upgrade from the 6000.
Yes, I had no problems shooting portraits with the a6400. And you can save so much $ with aps-c lenses (plus you have a few. You can use the a73 in aps-c mode, but then why get it. What do you think. I’d get it for the eye auto focus alone (over the a6000)
Tech Gear Talk honestly that’s what I was hoping you’d say lol I guess I just needed to hear it from someone else so I wouldn’t think that I got some low end camera or something
Glad I could help. I have both cameras. I use the a6400 way more
Awesome comparison bro it really helped me to decide which one to buy
So glad I could help. Thanks for being part of the channel.
