I recently bought my first camera, the sony a6600. I originally wanted the a7III, but the price was a bit out of my range. I wanted the 6600 over the 6400 and 6100 after watching your comparison of each of those, and after watching this video, i'm happy I went with the 6600 over the A7III. Wish it had the low light performance of the A7III, but the 6600 works better for what I need to do! Thanks for helping me decide on a camera!

I hope this comparison of the Sony A7III and the A6600 sample footage and images is helpful. Did you like it? These are two of my favorite Sony mirrorless cameras for both photography and video.

@Tech Gear Talk I’ve seen many videos where the rolling shutter when using 4K is evident. Is it enough of an issue to be a dealbreaker? That is the one thing holding me back on buying the A7C or any of the Sony APS-C cameras.
I ended up with both cameras. Embrace the healing power of "and". I use the A6600 as my principal video camera because of the AF tracking in video. And I use the A7III as my primary stills camera. The A6600 with the 10-20mm f/4 PZ lens is a great vlogging setup and gives me superwide coverage when I need it for interiors. The A7III gets pulled out for low-light, landscape, portrait, and macro work. The A6600 gets pulled out for telephoto work. It's like having a teleconverter that works on all of my lenses.
For someone who doesn't already have a bunch of full frame lenses, the a6600 has the benefit of a selection of smaller, lighter lenses, which are also less expensive. So that $400 difference becomes thousands of dollars difference and the option of being able to carry a bigger selection of focal lengths with you
Adding an APS-C body to a full frame kit has the effect of doubling your lens kit, which is especially nice if you like prime lenses. Add an APS-C body to a full frame kit with a 24mm, a 45mm, and an 85mm lens, and you get a 36mm, a 67.5mm, and a 127.5mm lens
I agree, I'm not seeing how full frame would improve my work. It would change it, but I'm not sure if it would improve much to any extreme degree. And if Hollywood has been fine with super 35, who am I to complain ;)
Another one who agrees. I travel and every ounce counts. Not only is the body smaller but the lenses are also, and I don't notice any IQ difference for the kind of work I do.
A7iii absolutely, dual sd card slots so you always have a backup of your professional work that you're getting paid for... and it'll do better for low light situations.
I often hear reviewers say that you shouldn't go with Sony unless you're willing to do work in post. If not, go with Canon because of it's great look right out of the camera. Would you agree with that with the a6600?
This was sooooo GOOD! Thank you for such a thorough explanation and helping me to understand the difference between full-frame and APS-C. Now I feel more equipped to make an informed decision.
This is exactly what I needed to see. I am currently saving up for one of the two of these. I may go for the 6600 though for the unlimited video and smaller size for travel. You are an amazing reviewer 👍🏻
I started on a a6000, after upgrading to a a7iii which I love, I have decided to get a a6600 as a full time camera to shoot sports on, and use the a7iii as a dedicated stills camera. Make use of the x1.5 crop of the apsc, and from experience, the overall image quality from the a7iii is much better than the a6000 when using a good lens on a nice day with good light, so a6600 should be great especially with the battery life.
Great video! Loved seeing how well the 6600 iq holds up to the a7iii. The only point you didn't mention is the price and size of lenses. I really want to go full-frame but I already have some nice aps-c lenses and the cost of a new camera + lenses is really prohibiting. The 6600 is a tempting upgrade but I just can't justify buying another camera with the same sensor. Hopefully we get the xt-4 killer soon.
@@ealxele I wish I had listened to myself in this comment haha! I got the A7c and it is a phenomenal camera but the FF lenses really are just big and expensive compared to aps-c. I do love my current setup but I wish I had stayed with the A6000 series, especially now that there are some really great lens options out.
@@JohnDennery Ah sometimes you just have to listen to your gut! Haha sucks but I'm sure you appreciate the higher quality from the FF setup ;) I was really super close in considering the XT4 vs a6600 and ended up staying with the a6600. Super glad I did because I think the most important thing for me was the small form factor like you said. Do you ever see yourself maybe coming back to the smaller APSC setup?
@@ealxele I'm definitely planning to switch back to aps-c again at some point. I just love the smaller form factor and it's so much easier for manufacturers to stabilize aps-c sensors so I think they will be the top choice in the next few years. Hopefully we start seeing some pro-level aps-c gear coming out soon with great weather sealing too!
In France the a7iii is typically around €2100, and the a6600 around €1500. However, one site I found had the a7iii at €1600, so as ever there are bargains to be found.

Thank you for such a detailed video. Because of you, I'm able to make a more informed decision on my purchase. Please keep up the great work you're doing.
Very informative ! I have a question - maybe the answer is neither of these cameras but my question is: Which Camera shall I get, I'f I'm starting a youtube channel from scratch, and the theme would be to review vegan/vegetarian restaurants and food? Would like to get some cinematic shots in the kitchen too! Both of these look great but are both very pricey . Thanks
Use your phone if you have a good camera phone. Most new phones are actually very good if you aren't absolutely requiring that blurry background. Get a good camera app, some good ND filters, a gimbal and some good microphones. Good luck dream-chasing!!!
I’m going with the future a7C, full frame with smaller body, lol. Best of both worlds. I would love to see the picture stills quality comparison between these two! Great video!
Great Comparison job! Country price variance is interesting. Here in Australia as of today 28/5/21 I can get: A7iii Body for $2,300 au = $1,780 US and the A6600 for $1700au = $1,310us
E-infinity sales the A7iii for £1310.00 and A6600 for £1040 including sales tax and delivery in the UK. I have the A7iii and an A7Riv both incredible cameras !
I'm in Cambodia, currently. The body: - a6600 = $1100 - a7iii = $1600 I've sold the a6400 because with Sony APSC, the problem for me is wide angle lense. There is only 1 (10-18mm f4) the f4 turns me down. Many choices for Sony FF, Sony 12-24mm f2.8, Sony 16-35mm f2.8, Sony 20mm f2.8, Sigma 14-24mm f2.8, Zeiss 18mm f2.8, Tamron 17-28mm f2.8.
Thank you for this great video! I was thinking about buying the a6600 as I have a few A-Mount APS-C lens from my old A77ii. (Sigma 18-35 1.8 (A mount), Tokina 11-16 2.8 (A mount), Minolta 50 f1.4 (A mount), Sony 50-300mm (A mount), Sony 30mm Makro (A mount). I was wondering how the lenses would perform on the a6600 by using the new sony a to e mount adapter. Would be primarily for Filmmaking, so I'm a bit worried about the auto focus. The fuji XT-4 seems to be interesting aswell but I couldnt find a "good" Sony A to Fuji X adapter.
Awesome video! right now i'm shooting with the EOS R and don't get me wrong I love the camera but I think, long term, Sony is the way to go. i'm also not heavily invested into the RF system. I have already tried out the a7iii and its really nice. The main thing that is holding me back is the potential release of the a7iv and the possibility of the a7iii dropping in price or ultimately going with the a7iv. I think the best decision right now is to just hold off and see what happens in the next couple of months. I mean I am pretty fine with the camera I have but I couldn't see myself investing into the system. Any input?
Thanks Gavin! I agree - you have a great camera so just hold tight for now. Switching lens systems is very expensive so I would do that as a last resort.
Picked up a used a6600 for 1381cad or 1163usd. An ok price as it sells normally around 1500-1600cad. The a7III sells for around 1600-1800cad used. I think I will use the a6600 a bit but likely grab an a7III and sell the a6600 if i can get one around the same price.
I'm trying to choose between these two atm. Price isn't the primary concern here, I admire that a6600 is more compact and lightweight, which makes it a better choice for hiking (feeling less weary definitely boosts creativity)... OTOH I admire higher dynamic range of A7 and more good lenses available for it. Very hard choice :(
Hi there. For me, portability is a priority (because if I leave the camera at home, it's not helping me). Remember that every lens that can be used on the a7iii can be used on the a6600 - hope that helps.
We are trying to make a decision between these two cameras. We currently have a Nikon D750 which is great for photography but not so great for for video (which we really need). We will be selling the Nikon to get into a new system. My concern is that if we go back to a crop sensor will we notice a big difference on the photograph side? I still like to take photos when I fry the chance (although video would be the main purpose). Also the a6600 has the flippy screen so we can see ourselves when videoing. We are on a budget so money will not be unlimited. Probably the most we could spend on camera and gear is $2400. Do you think the a6600 is our best option? Someone mentioned we should wait for the A7IV but I don’t know if it will have a usable screen for when we are walking and videoing ourselves and it may be out of our budget.
Hi, would you recommend Sony A7C over the A7III or should I get the A7III instead? I barely do photography. I mainly use cameras for videos. I’m currently using the Canon M50 and I think I wanna jump into the full frame category so I might not consider the A6600 as it’s still an APSC camera. Thanks in advance 😄
Great video, subbed. What is your trick to get sharp 1080p out of the A6600 when you shoot at 60 or 120fps? I can shoot awesome 4K but the 1080p looks potato. Thanks!
@@MikeLBeatJackson no I didn’t. I don’t think there is solution. nail everithing (exposure, iso, focus...) and that’s all you can do. if we want better 1080p with Sony we need to fork a lot more money out or buy a panasonic cam. my friend has one and shoots brilliant 1080p I shoot 4K and use proxy for editing. no slow mo or dealing with the shame of my 1080p footage BY SONY 😫
this is actually honestly so exciting, leaning towards the a6600 + 10-18mm for vlogging if i were to pick.. because right now i'm using an eos M + 10-18mm lens, i would go m6 mark ii + 11-22mm but the battery life of the a6600 the unlimited recording and the stable video is exactly what i 'need' although the m6 mark ii is my dream in terms of photos. is the a7iii or the a7siii worth the extra $5000 if it does the same thing? (body + 16-35mm f4 or f/2.8) i've actually taken it upon myself to bring a light with me everywhere i go XD just to combat that low light. i have a rode video mic pro+ for audio, and i still need to work on my editing to take it from 8 hours to edit to hopefully 2 hours to edit. these are things that a $5000 camera can't buy but you never cease to entertain me my friend :D thank you for all the years of back to back connection, i dont have any friends to talk about cameras with and my girlfriend doesn't know what the numbers mean, but she bought me a go pro hero 7 for my birthday after mine broke last year in italy, and its honestly my favourite camera of all time! go figure XD
Hi there. Thanks for being part of the channel. The a7siii is a better camera but I would only go full frame and invest in it (over the a6600) if it was making me money
Hello from Germany! :) did you do a detailed comparison about the picture quality of A7III vs A6600? I couldn't finde anything. I wonder how the difference in low light really is in a real life test/use.
Excellent review, very thorough. Thanks! I wonder, will eye af work for photo with adapted Canon lenses? I love the Sony bodies but the lenses not so much and I have a ton of Canon lenses. Thank you :) Oh and you asked: the A7iii retails at around 1900 euros and the A6600 at 1350 euros, in the Netherlands. Quite a difference.
What’s your take on lowlight with aps-c at f1.4 or f1.8 vs full frame? Is there a big differences between crop and full even if the crop is at f2.8 or lower?
Hi Cody. There are more elements at play (ex. resolution of the sensor). in low light, a wider aperture will be better if all other things are equal. Watch this video for some info: th-cam.com/video/O9hzhFpHEf4/w-d-xo.html
I appreciate your video and the information. I am considering a A6600 paired with a Sony FE 12-24mm F2.8 G lens. I use it hiking and backpacking for wide angle landscape shots. You said the A7III would be better for wide angle so that gives me pause. So concerns about my setup? TY
So with the auto eye focus, what happens if you have more than one person in the frame like at a wedding? Will the camera switch back and forth between multiple subjects in the frame or pick the closest one? In other words, is the a6600 a good b role camera that you can set up and forget, or do you need to monitor its focus to make sure it is focusing on what or who you want it to, like the bride, and not a bridesmaid?
Don't know if you already found your answer, but ordinarily an AF system will just pick out the closest face to focus on. Sony cameras have a facial recognition feature that allows the camera to prioritize which faces to focus on, but it requires that you register the faces ahead of time. If you are shooting a wedding, you could have the bride as #1, the groom #2, and so on. So there could be multiple people with the bride, but it will only focus on her. Alternatively, you can use the touchscreen to select where/who you want the focus point on.
Hello, great video really well done. I have a 6400 and I use the Sony 70-200mm F4 full frame lens to shoot rec baseball (amateur photographer). Love this combo, works great. The only negative is when it starts to get dark, the picture quality degrades when I only have the field lights as lighting. Would the A7iii make a big difference in this scenario, I was considering upgrading for this specific reason. The weight, size, etc. do not concern me. My other option would be a used A9 (first gen) I see nice examples on eBay with low shutter counts for about $2500 compared to $2000 for a new A7iii. Thoughts : )
Nice! Been looking and thinking which to buy, comparing these 2 camera as well as the RP/R with its little brother M50/M6II. Still Can't decide yet :( But small size, AF and IQ is most important. But tending towards M6 for its colors, cheaper price and ease of use..
Hey! Great videos as always, my question is: I own a 6400 and I love it, it has been more than 1 year and has been wonderful, I would like to step up to FF, would the a7III be a good choice? Or should I wait?
@@gabrielemagnani2405 just forget what i said i just ordered the A7iii still not happy because i am not getting the lens i need as my bank account is empty
Hey - great video thanks. I shoot sailing and other watersports and often the light is either very low or, in summer, over-bright with sun plus water glare. My current, older DSLR really struggles in these conditions and can produce an equal mixture of fairly good, washed-out and too-dark photos. So 2/3 of photos are not very good. Also a good shot on the water needs to catch the spray droplets perfectly - not blurred - (in surfing for example). I am looking at getting either of these cameras to solve these problems and am looking to get a Sony 70-350 mm f4.5-6.3 G OSS E Telephoto Zoom Lens. Which one do you feel would be best for these on-water action shots please? Thanks
I have the Sony A7IV. Should I get the a6600 to extend the zoom range on APS-C due to the crop factor for wildlife photography? I know I can use APS-C mode on my A7IV but at a lower resolution than the a6600. Considering the new Sigma 60-600 or the Sony 200-600.
I care about photography more than videography,so should I buy a6600 or a6400. I don't have problems with the budget though. Thank you in advance for your opinion:D
Is the 1080p softer on the a6600 in your experience? I can't decide between these two, I do like low light performance though. Also with the a5 rumored to come out do you think it's a good idea for me to wait in case the price goes down? great video :D
Hi Zach - I haven't done a dedicated comparison of the 1080 so I don't want to guess. I would only do full frame if I could afford the price of full frame lenses (for more people this is not a need).
1080 is typically softer for Sony in general. The a7Siii is the first Sony camera people are saying has actually good 1080 quality. But either way, you can just increase sharpening in camera to +1 or +2 and looks great to me imo.
Prices in Argentina. Sony Official Store. 23/10/2020 11:35 (Argentina Time) Sony a6600 + Lens SEL70350G = $181.199 ARS. Sony A7iii + Lens Full-Frame 35mm (I don't really know which one) = $189.999 ARS $1 USD = $190 ARS (It will go up every day) So; Sony a6600 with that lens = $957 USD Sony A7iii with that lens = $999 USD
FF sensor does not have advantage at wide angle because wide-angle apsc lenses are smaller and cheaper than FF equivalent. FF lenses are generally better tho.
I lived in Bali, Indonesia. Here the A7iii currently at Rp.25.000.000 and A6600 at Rp.21.000.000 (both price just body only). Only Rp.4.000.000 difference
Love your channel. I currently have a canon 7D MK ii and it’s great, but heavy and I was looking at the a6600 to carry with me all the time. I mainly photograph dogs and wildlife, and now with the canon r7 coming out I’m not sure which one would be better, any suggestions?
@@TechGearTalk Yes, but let's be fair. Every single camera coming out of 2019-2020 is a beast compared to just a decade ago. I upgraded straight from a Canon EOS 60D and the a6600 seems like it was made by aliens, it is so comparatively good. And the buffer only bugs me when shooting sports at ridiculous 11fps for sports. This a truly phenomenal time to be a hobby photographer.
price in Germany (end of Sept 2020): A7III body US$ 2272; kit with 28 -70mm lens: US$ 2531. A6600: Body: US$ 1648; kit with 16 to 50mm lens: US$ 1813. Euro Dollar conversion done with internet conversion tool.
with the 6600 hard to come by now. What camera would you recommend as being comparable? I have the 6000 right now but was looking to upgrade as I find the action shots and focus to be a little lacking from what I would hope they would be. I like taking photos of my kids which is sometimes hard to get them still and I also need something that I can use with travel. We like dolphin tours and zoos so I need something that will do well with shooting movement and animals.

Would like to get some cinematic shots in the kitchen too! Both of these look great but are both very pricey . Thanks
Use your phone if you have a good camera phone. Most new phones are actually very good if you aren't absolutely requiring that blurry background. Get a good camera app, some good ND filters, a gimbal and some good microphones. Good luck dream-chasing!!!
I’m going with the future a7C, full frame with smaller body, lol. Best of both worlds. I would love to see the picture stills quality comparison between these two! Great video!
I can't wait to see that one!
Sony a6600 +16-55 f2.8 Super happy with that combo + fe 85 mm
Great Comparison job!
Country price variance is interesting.
Here in Australia as of today 28/5/21
I can get: A7iii Body for $2,300 au = $1,780 US
and the A6600 for $1700au = $1,310us
E-infinity sales the A7iii for £1310.00 and A6600 for £1040 including sales tax and delivery in the UK. I have the A7iii and an A7Riv both incredible cameras !
A6600 is now on sale in the US, but now the A7C is announced too
They keep changing their prices, lol
love the a6600 so much I cant sell it but picked up the fx 30 it is a different beast when it comes to video.
I'm in Cambodia, currently. The body:
- a6600 = $1100
- a7iii = $1600
I've sold the a6400 because with Sony APSC, the problem for me is wide angle lense. There is only 1 (10-18mm f4) the f4 turns me down. Many choices for Sony FF,
Sony 12-24mm f2.8, Sony 16-35mm f2.8, Sony 20mm f2.8, Sigma 14-24mm f2.8, Zeiss 18mm f2.8, Tamron 17-28mm f2.8.
Makes sense 👍🏻
Thank you for this great video!
I was thinking about buying the a6600 as I have a few A-Mount APS-C lens from my old A77ii.
(Sigma 18-35 1.8 (A mount), Tokina 11-16 2.8 (A mount), Minolta 50 f1.4 (A mount), Sony 50-300mm (A mount), Sony 30mm Makro (A mount). I was wondering how the lenses would perform on the a6600 by using the new sony a to e mount adapter. Would be primarily for Filmmaking, so I'm a bit worried about the auto focus.
The fuji XT-4 seems to be interesting aswell but I couldnt find a "good" Sony A to Fuji X adapter.
Loved the review! What wide angle lens would you recommend for each camera that isn’t too expensive?
Sigma 16mm f1.4 prime lens for under $400. Super sharp, wide, and great in low light. Best bang for your buck lens.
Really appreciate it mate! Excellent video
Awesome video! right now i'm shooting with the EOS R and don't get me wrong I love the camera but I think, long term, Sony is the way to go. i'm also not heavily invested into the RF system. I have already tried out the a7iii and its really nice. The main thing that is holding me back is the potential release of the a7iv and the possibility of the a7iii dropping in price or ultimately going with the a7iv. I think the best decision right now is to just hold off and see what happens in the next couple of months. I mean I am pretty fine with the camera I have but I couldn't see myself investing into the system. Any input?
Thanks Gavin! I agree - you have a great camera so just hold tight for now. Switching lens systems is very expensive so I would do that as a last resort.
Picked up a used a6600 for 1381cad or 1163usd. An ok price as it sells normally around 1500-1600cad. The a7III sells for around 1600-1800cad used. I think I will use the a6600 a bit but likely grab an a7III and sell the a6600 if i can get one around the same price.
I'm trying to choose between these two atm. Price isn't the primary concern here, I admire that a6600 is more compact and lightweight, which makes it a better choice for hiking (feeling less weary definitely boosts creativity)... OTOH I admire higher dynamic range of A7 and more good lenses available for it. Very hard choice :(
Hi there. For me, portability is a priority (because if I leave the camera at home, it's not helping me). Remember that every lens that can be used on the a7iii can be used on the a6600 - hope that helps.
The reall issue with crop sensor camera is
Produces lesser bokeh.
More chromatic abberations.
Lesser dynamic range.
And the real issue with a full frame is the lenses and camera bodies are more than twice as expensive and twice as heavy.
Sony a7iii or Fujifilm xt4?
I'm mostly into content creation. Pretty confused. Ans pls. 🙂
Wow, great choices. Personally I would get the xt4
@@TechGearTalk what about the autofocus on the xt4 .? They say it’s crap
We are trying to make a decision between these two cameras. We currently have a Nikon D750 which is great for photography but not so great for for video (which we really need). We will be selling the Nikon to get into a new system. My concern is that if we go back to a crop sensor will we notice a big difference on the photograph side? I still like to take photos when I fry the chance (although video would be the main purpose). Also the a6600 has the flippy screen so we can see ourselves when videoing. We are on a budget so money will not be unlimited. Probably the most we could spend on camera and gear is $2400. Do you think the a6600 is our best option? Someone mentioned we should wait for the A7IV but I don’t know if it will have a usable screen for when we are walking and videoing ourselves and it may be out of our budget.
Found a a6600 almost brand new with kit lens for $1350 near me. I might have to buy it!!!
i've been watching you videos for a month and have learned so much, sankyou!
Thanks from Brazil for the infos !!!
I ended up with A7iii after going through Admiral General Haffaz Aladeen's advice.
Could you help me? which camera do You offer for just photography? an a6600 or a little old full-frame like a7ii or a7rii. Thank you
Please advice:
-overall image quality is better on...?
-overall easy to use recomandation goes to...?
Great Comparison there my man. Definitely waiting for the A74 no doubt
Thanks Ben. Can't wait! I'm going to have to get an X-T4 at some point... it's inevitable...
Hi, would you recommend Sony A7C over the A7III or should I get the A7III instead? I barely do photography. I mainly use cameras for videos. I’m currently using the Canon M50 and I think I wanna jump into the full frame category so I might not consider the A6600 as it’s still an APSC camera. Thanks in advance 😄
Great video, subbed. What is your trick to get sharp 1080p out of the A6600 when you shoot at 60 or 120fps? I can shoot awesome 4K but the 1080p looks potato. Thanks!
Did you get an answer or do you have a trick for that? I also have this problem.
@@MikeLBeatJackson no I didn’t. I don’t think there is solution. nail everithing (exposure, iso, focus...) and that’s all you can do. if we want better 1080p with Sony we need to fork a lot more money out or buy a panasonic cam. my friend has one and shoots brilliant 1080p
I shoot 4K and use proxy for editing. no slow mo or dealing with the shame of my 1080p footage BY SONY 😫
@@tibbyk5888 I don't have a solution neither. Which panasonic cam does your friend use? And which lens do you use for your sony cam?
Thank you man for this video
this is actually honestly so exciting, leaning towards the a6600 + 10-18mm for vlogging if i were to pick.. because right now i'm using an eos M + 10-18mm lens, i would go m6 mark ii + 11-22mm but the battery life of the a6600 the unlimited recording and the stable video is exactly what i 'need' although the m6 mark ii is my dream in terms of photos. is the a7iii or the a7siii worth the extra $5000 if it does the same thing? (body + 16-35mm f4 or f/2.8) i've actually taken it upon myself to bring a light with me everywhere i go XD just to combat that low light. i have a rode video mic pro+ for audio, and i still need to work on my editing to take it from 8 hours to edit to hopefully 2 hours to edit. these are things that a $5000 camera can't buy but you never cease to entertain me my friend :D thank you for all the years of back to back connection, i dont have any friends to talk about cameras with and my girlfriend doesn't know what the numbers mean, but she bought me a go pro hero 7 for my birthday after mine broke last year in italy, and its honestly my favourite camera of all time! go figure XD
Hi there. Thanks for being part of the channel. The a7siii is a better camera but I would only go full frame and invest in it (over the a6600) if it was making me money
Good review sir
Hello from Germany! :) did you do a detailed comparison about the picture quality of A7III vs A6600? I couldn't finde anything. I wonder how the difference in low light really is in a real life test/use.
Following you on Instagram too! Drop a story there when a good holiday package comes out! I'll look for a black Friday sale or something
will do! Thanks for the support
Excellent review, very thorough. Thanks! I wonder, will eye af work for photo with adapted Canon lenses? I love the Sony bodies but the lenses not so much and I have a ton of Canon lenses. Thank you :)
Oh and you asked: the A7iii retails at around 1900 euros and the A6600 at 1350 euros, in the Netherlands. Quite a difference.
You are the best man 😊 Thanks for update. It will make my decision easier 😅 I will take both cameras xD Based on my research 😅
I shoot sports video and photography. Which camera is the best option??
For video use only: a6600 or A7iii?
Love all the Cleveland shots. 🙌
Good eye!
What’s your take on lowlight with aps-c at f1.4 or f1.8 vs full frame? Is there a big differences between crop and full even if the crop is at f2.8 or lower?
Hi Cody. There are more elements at play (ex. resolution of the sensor). in low light, a wider aperture will be better if all other things are equal. Watch this video for some info: th-cam.com/video/O9hzhFpHEf4/w-d-xo.html
I'm a proud owner of both. While I've been shooting FF more I dont see myself getting rid of the a6600. Its nearly perfect.
I appreciate your video and the information. I am considering a A6600 paired with a Sony FE 12-24mm F2.8 G lens. I use it hiking and backpacking for wide angle landscape shots. You said the A7III would be better for wide angle so that gives me pause. So concerns about my setup? TY
So with the auto eye focus, what happens if you have more than one person in the frame like at a wedding? Will the camera switch back and forth between multiple subjects in the frame or pick the closest one? In other words, is the a6600 a good b role camera that you can set up and forget, or do you need to monitor its focus to make sure it is focusing on what or who you want it to, like the bride, and not a bridesmaid?
Don't know if you already found your answer, but ordinarily an AF system will just pick out the closest face to focus on. Sony cameras have a facial recognition feature that allows the camera to prioritize which faces to focus on, but it requires that you register the faces ahead of time. If you are shooting a wedding, you could have the bride as #1, the groom #2, and so on. So there could be multiple people with the bride, but it will only focus on her.
Alternatively, you can use the touchscreen to select where/who you want the focus point on.
Fantastic video. Thank you.
Hello, great video really well done. I have a 6400 and I use the Sony 70-200mm F4 full frame lens to shoot rec baseball (amateur photographer). Love this combo, works great. The only negative is when it starts to get dark, the picture quality degrades when I only have the field lights as lighting. Would the A7iii make a big difference in this scenario, I was considering upgrading for this specific reason. The weight, size, etc. do not concern me. My other option would be a used A9 (first gen) I see nice examples on eBay with low shutter counts for about $2500 compared to $2000 for a new A7iii. Thoughts : )
No you would need a faster lens. Try the Tamron 70 - 200 mm 2.8
Which camera is more suitable for filmmaking a7iii or a6600. ? Little bit confuse in both cameras.
Nice! Been looking and thinking which to buy, comparing these 2 camera as well as the RP/R with its little brother M50/M6II. Still Can't decide yet :( But small size, AF and IQ is most important. But tending towards M6 for its colors, cheaper price and ease of use..
Only make the purchase when you are ready. The biggest difference will be learning how to use them.
Great video, thank you and keep up the good work! :)
Hey! Great videos as always, my question is:
I own a 6400 and I love it, it has been more than 1 year and has been wonderful, I would like to step up to FF, would the a7III be a good choice? Or should I wait?
personally i would wait for the A7iv but it would be priced at around 2500$

dont know i might cancel it later and go for an apsc
Hey - great video thanks. I shoot sailing and other watersports and often the light is either very low or, in summer, over-bright with sun plus water glare. My current, older DSLR really struggles in these conditions and can produce an equal mixture of fairly good, washed-out and too-dark photos. So 2/3 of photos are not very good. Also a good shot on the water needs to catch the spray droplets perfectly - not blurred - (in surfing for example). I am looking at getting either of these cameras to solve these problems and am looking to get a Sony 70-350 mm f4.5-6.3 G OSS E Telephoto Zoom Lens. Which one do you feel would be best for these on-water action shots please? Thanks
Always the best comparison video.. 🤓 ✌🏽 👌🏽 📷 🇲🇾
Appreciate you!
great one, if you could do comparison between A7iii vs A7Riii
I will see if I can get an a7riii (it will be better for photos and not as good for video)
Nice and positive video. Great Job 👍
Glad you liked it! Thanks for being part of the channel!
Hey where did you get those toys my son wants me to buy him some
I have the Sony A7IV. Should I get the a6600 to extend the zoom range on APS-C due to the crop factor for wildlife photography? I know I can use APS-C mode on my A7IV but at a lower resolution than the a6600. Considering the new Sigma 60-600 or the Sony 200-600.
I have the A7iii and I just recently purchased the Tamron 70-180, and did a model shoot. Pics were amazing. Great vid and an awesome channe!
Thank Earl. Agree - that lens is 🔥🔥🔥
I care about photography more than videography,so should I buy a6600 or a6400. I don't have problems with the budget though. Thank you in advance for your opinion:D
Is the 1080p softer on the a6600 in your experience? I can't decide between these two, I do like low light performance though.
Also with the a5 rumored to come out do you think it's a good idea for me to wait in case the price goes down?
great video :D
Hi Zach - I haven't done a dedicated comparison of the 1080 so I don't want to guess. I would only do full frame if I could afford the price of full frame lenses (for more people this is not a need).
1080 is typically softer for Sony in general. The a7Siii is the first Sony camera people are saying has actually good 1080 quality. But either way, you can just increase sharpening in camera to +1 or +2 and looks great to me imo.
👍🏻
@@TechGearTalk Thank you! That's very true, lense cost might push me towards the aps-c
@@mirrorlessmemory Thanks for the tip! :)
What camera / Lens are you using for this video?
Currently own the 90D with a sigma 17-55 but leaning towards more of a compact setup (mirrorless)
@Daniel pliszka did you sell you Canon 90D?
awesome review!!!
Glad you enjoyed it Thanks for being part of the channel!
Hi wanted to ask what lense your using on the Sony A7iii?
The high ISO is great but does it go down as low as ISO 50 ?
No.
Australia Sony A7iii $2492 (aud) body only. 26/9/22 Which is why I record my sons band on his iPhone 12 :)
Prices in Argentina. Sony Official Store. 23/10/2020 11:35 (Argentina Time)
Sony a6600 + Lens SEL70350G = $181.199 ARS.
Sony A7iii + Lens Full-Frame 35mm (I don't really know which one) = $189.999 ARS
$1 USD = $190 ARS (It will go up every day)
So;
Sony a6600 with that lens = $957 USD
Sony A7iii with that lens = $999 USD
Is that Terry in that video? Are y’all friends in real life?
Yes and yes. Thanks for watching
Hello, nice video and I'm coming from Switzerland
The production value of this video is fire, nice job!
Oh wow, thank you so much
FF sensor does not have advantage at wide angle because wide-angle apsc lenses are smaller and cheaper than FF equivalent. FF lenses are generally better tho.
I lived in Bali, Indonesia. Here the A7iii currently at Rp.25.000.000 and A6600 at Rp.21.000.000 (both price just body only). Only Rp.4.000.000 difference
Thank you
Love your channel. I currently have a canon 7D MK ii and it’s great, but heavy and I was looking at the a6600 to carry with me all the time. I mainly photograph dogs and wildlife, and now with the canon r7 coming out I’m not sure which one would be better, any suggestions?
R7, if you can afford each on just go for the latest more up to date thing. R7 is better for wildlife and sports anyway
I am actually considering getting a Sony, but I don't know if the A6600 would be good for shooting weddings.
Waiting for the buffer to clear on my a6600 is probably my number one complaint. But it's a phenomenal camera.
I think that’s fair. That UHS-I slot was a disappointment.
@@TechGearTalk Yes, but let's be fair. Every single camera coming out of 2019-2020 is a beast compared to just a decade ago. I upgraded straight from a Canon EOS 60D and the a6600 seems like it was made by aliens, it is so comparatively good. And the buffer only bugs me when shooting sports at ridiculous 11fps for sports. This a truly phenomenal time to be a hobby photographer.
Brad Ledford The buffer size is even smaller than in the a6500
Great Comparison ! You look like ross from friends btw !
price in Germany (end of Sept 2020): A7III body US$ 2272; kit with 28 -70mm lens: US$ 2531. A6600: Body: US$ 1648; kit with 16 to 50mm lens: US$ 1813. Euro Dollar conversion done with internet conversion tool.
Thanks. So that’s about the same ratio.
What did you film the A roll with in this video?
Make a video on Sony a6100 Vs canon 200dmark2
Coming soon.
hi bro. can i use canon EF lenses with a6600. eg. canon EF 50mm f1.8. if yes which adaptor i use?
with the 6600 hard to come by now. What camera would you recommend as being comparable? I have the 6000 right now but was looking to upgrade as I find the action shots and focus to be a little lacking from what I would hope they would be. I like taking photos of my kids which is sometimes hard to get them still and I also need something that I can use with travel. We like dolphin tours and zoos so I need something that will do well with shooting movement and animals.
The 6400 is also pretty good
