What do you all think of the A6400. I definitely have no idea why Sony chose to upgrade this camera first but that new AF system is WILD!!! I'm definitely stoked for those A9 & A7III/A7RIII firmware updates too

Bought one today with the 18-135 and I am absolutely in love.

You guys are not playing around! Love the video and imaging

Great video. The footage and grading here is really stunning. Well done!

I will add:
1) You can assign MOVIE start/stop to usual shutter button now (when dial in Movie mode), so this small "record" button on the corner is not the issue anymore
2) Some say that lowest ISO in S-Log now is ISO500. That is good compared to A6300/6500.
Very good cinematics - great cameraman work and very good edit. One of the best :)

Stunning shots and video, shows what can be achieved on this camera if you know what you are doing. M Granger eat your heart out.

What is it about vbloging cameras !
Most people I chat to who are into photography / videos want a more compact camera for traveling so IBIS, battery life, AF system, people and animal eye deck is a real game changer.
We were told canon 6Dii was a grwat vbloging camera, then the M50, then A7iii etc, etc. So what about just normal photos and video which is what the vast majority of people will be using this camera for !

Sorry everyone but Watsons just killed the internet with this review. Outstanding - everyone else including myself "we got to step up our production game "Real Panda Talk"

Nice review. The short video is dope. Agree with you, a good camera for that price point. Why people expect USD900 to be as good if not better than the a9, a7riii and a7iii? U guys rock!

[andrear]

great editing, great to have you both, great summary and honest view. The camera? Never saw such an AF at this price point. This alone is almost worth the price. I wouldn't be upset by the screen if it was only tilting. But Sony... if you go for flipping, then make it properly! Once again Sony is making all its technology available to most of us. Nice.

You guys are so good at what you do. Keep up the good work. Excellent review.

Great cinematics and review !! Loved it

Had my eye on this but....1. Rolling shutter. 2. Battery life. 3. Limited APS-C lenses. Plus I have an A7iii. I do like the size and flippy screen though.

I think nobody's gonna buy a freaking GM 24-70 2.8 to put on a APS-C camera. Youtubers should stop providing this as a solution to the lack of Sony crop lenses. Instead, while at those meetings with the company, start pushing for APS-C specific glass. I mean you are there and have the ability to speak to Sony reps no? You guys go there and instead of doing the obvious you start pushing this silly idea: 'Oh start using your FF glass on a 900$ camera. No matter that the glass itself is twice the price of the camera - just go for it.'

Man that is awesome auto focus when wife picks up camera then let’s it down focus is spot on very nice best thing I love about this camera and the 4K in video is just amazing 👌

[eduardogarcia]

I'm about to buy my first camera, might be the a7iii. the a6400 seems good too, but what do you think is better for like making documentaries, films/movie films, commercials and good at takings pics in large groups.

[jimcoleman]

The A6300 has an unacceptable long shutter delay (nearly a half-second) when using a camera mounted external flash (Sony or other) in PSAM modes. The 6500 is better but still long (0.3 sec). Did you have a chance to try some on-camera flash photography and is the problem fixed (hopefully)? Thanks.

Tremendous Value for *Small Video Productions* not Vlogging

Non IBIS = Lighter Body.... Perfect for Gimbal Use.

Expect the new A7000 with IBIS _(A6500 successor)_
