Can’t believe you went through the whole thing without messing up the a6x00 even once. This is an amazing video, thank you!

[angeluscomfort]

This is one of the best videos I have watched in YouTube. I have listened to every word u said

[djcook]

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a more supportive comment section

[GrotrianSeiler]

Really excellent companion video. You covered it all. 7yrs later, the A6000 is still a remarkable camera and I love using mine, but you have given me serious desire to consider the A6400. Thanks for doing this video.

[SamirYasif]

I never though I watch entire video just 80% footage of hands, cameras and desk. You really give value for us who were confused about alpha line up.

Gracias.

I always love it when people say the A6400 is the best choice. I may be biased tho >_> *shuffles a6400 around in camera bag*

Would like to express thanks and compliments for your outstanding detailed and well researched Sony reviews. Current pricing is $800 for a6500, $900 for a6400, and $1200 for a6600. As you mention, these cameras have exceptional build quality and usually last for many years trouble free. So we can ignore a $100 price difference which would be an insignificant $20 per year costed out over 5 years of use. I chose the a6500 for IBIS and better body with larger grip and upgraded buttons/controls. If I were shooting professional video in the studio, I would have gone for the a6400, which is a better video camera. For video blogging and street video, I would bite the bullet and get the a6600 with everything including double battery life and IBIS. One comment about IBIS - is does make a considerable difference in hand held video by eliminating the small jitter effect; the IBIS models produce smoother more natural hand held video compared to the other models. Thanks again for your awesome video channel!

I recently bought a6000 on black Friday sales. It's still a great camera and it will be relevant even in 2020. Excellent image quality. If you have experience in photography, let's say with smartphone, but want to get a real camera with interchangeable lenses, go for a6000 and don't think twice.

The OG a6000 still working great for me. Didn't realize it already has that much brothers. Great review!

[GabrielGGabGattringer]

Got A6300 + SEL 16-50mm + SEL 55-210mm for €930 on Amazon DE in August 2019. Wanted to stay below 1, 000€ but the A6400 Was way more expensive back then. I'm not going to upgrade despite A6300 is four years old. It works fine for me.

I felt obligated to say thank you for this priceless and information packed video.

Im a beginner and felt so lost choosing my first 2nd hand camera.
I haven't decided which one suit my needs yet, but your video puts me in the right direction for sure.

[SolaSly]

Probably one of the best, most detailed and relaxing YouTube videos I've seen in a long while

[KarenKefauver]

Years later, this video remains super relevant and helpful. Thank you! Very methodical, clear going through 3 models and 3 updates.

[larsstecken]

One of the best and most difficult to make reviews I've seen. Thank you!

[panzarkatten]

This video is awesome! After years with Canon I switched to Sony with a A7 III and have now started looking at a smaller camera to complement that and also to use instead of my webcam. The numbering of the aps-c sony cameras was very confusing but this cleared it all up and I'm now confident that the a6100 is the one I'll go for.

Thanks!

[beneg]

I can't believe my a6000 is 5 years. I use it everyday to shoot photos for my online business.

[emircanlas]

I have an a6400 since June 2020 and man i use it as my main cam for all my client works including weddings, vlogs, music videos, and this is in every way reliable and amazing. Great video tho! Watched every second of it!

[vkshares]

Great effort put for a comprehensive comparison video. Putting all Sony's 6000 series cameras in a single video with detailed explanation, similarities and differences is awesome.

[Robert.Dickson]

What a great, comprehensive explanation of the models. Just when I was about to pull the trigger on a A6000, now I’m thinking again. I don’t need the features of the more expensive models but i feel I might as well ‘future proof’ myself a bit. However, budget is budget. Thanks again for a great video. Seasons greetings from Scotland.
