Sony a6600 vs a6400 vs a6100 | Which is RIGHT FOR YOU?

Today I’m going to compare the Sony a6100, a6400 and a6600. These represent the newest models from Sony’s APS-C lineup. At first glance, they look virtually identical - but once you dive in you find some important and sometimes surprising differences. So which one of them should you buy?

Ranging in price from $598 to $1198, these three models share elements like the sensor and processor, but we’re going to take a look at the strengths and weakness of the #A6100, #A6400 and #A6600 for both photography and video and help you pick the right one for you.

I’m going to talk about camera body type, frame rate and resolution, autofocus, image stabilization, audio features, and ergonomics.

I will also look at battery life, timelapse, viewfinder, ISO performance and the built-in flash.

Finally I’ll tell you which option I think is best for different uses.

What's up everyone?! I hope this comparison of the Sony A6100, a6400 and a6600 was helpful. I tried to include enough images and video to show you what the cameras can produce. I’m curious to hear which model you think would work well for you.

Would love to know what you think, good or bad. I am grateful in advance 🙏

I've literally spent 2 weeks watching numerous tech reviews so I can feel confident on my first vlogging camera purchase (I'm pretty sure you've all been there) looking for unbiased opinions, the reality and facts, and genuine helpful information as opposed to tech reviews that just made me more confused and felt pressured into purchasing what they were promoting. I found more value in this video than I did with many other channels put together. I can finally make my purchase in confidence. Thank you very much and I greatly appreciate your help.

He makes videos on cameras that we actually cross shop

Just picked up the 6100, thank you so much for your contributions to this community!

i don’t know if you do, but do you have a “What’s in my camera bag?” video?! i’d love to see what you normally use!

[nickpetitt]

I bought the Sony a6400 and have used it for about a week so far and have to say it was a great buy. You can't go wrong with either of these choices and if you're an normal user all of them will work just fine for your needs

Even though this is a 3 year old video, I still find it to be extremely helpful in making my decision on my first camera. I graduated from highschool today and plan on buying one of these cameras with money ive gotten, and your amazingly well done videos are helping me narrow my decision. I think I’m gonna go with the a6400 due to it being only a couple hundred more and offered many more features that would be helpful in a long-term camera for a beginner like me. Many thanks!

I like your approach when making videos I recently bought the 6100 thank you for your dedication, im building my YouTube channel for Spanish speakers .since that is my native language

[pattihoffman]

Thank you for the review, very helpful. I upgraded to an A6600 from a A5000. Since I wanted IBIS and bigger battery, and rarely use the flash, it was a good choice. I also love the larger grip. I wish they had done the display like on the A7C though.

[LALATE]

Wow you are superb. That video is wonderful. Was gonna get 6100 for live streaming on @lalate but now wondering about @6400 for the dust resistance. What does dust resistance mean exactly? It seems worth the extra $200 because Im always around dust.

[DocBoA]

I bought the a6100 for live-streaming then decided to record one 4K video, since my M50 fails at that. I have been hooked on the image quality since then. Great vid bro

I'm waiting for you to reach 100, 000 subscriber. You deserve it! Waiting to celebrate with you

[BigChinaski]

You have the best, most in depth, review channel I have ever come across. Great work man, thanks.

[yngstelevende]

it's insane how much effort you put into a video, i love it man <3

[evargas]

I was so waiting for this comparison! All the similar videos I've seen are from so many months ago. Thanks!

[KeAiFu]

I worked 40 years with Nikon F-Mount and also Z-Products.

Now, I bought the A6600 with the Sigma 56/1.4 for Portraits und Events.

Real Time Tracking in combination with Eye-AF unbelievable great!
I completely different way of photographing with a high hit rate.

Now waiting for the A7 IV and will say "good-bye" to Nikon.

[B-RaDD]

SERIOUSLY!!! Great video, great detailed review

[DoctorScent]

Prob the best comparison video I have seen. You mention things that the average person can understand and what they would look for. Other channels focus on super niche details that mean nothing to me, or things that I don’t understand as an absolute beginner. Great video.

[JoelPurnell]

Great, clear, unbiased content as always! Very much appreciated.
