[XVIIsionsProductions]

I love my 6400, I bought it new when it came out with a kit lens for $1, 400. I use it alongside my FX30 for shoots, and it holds up really well.

I’ve shot commercials with it, regularly film and photograph sports (Motocross ALOT), wildlife, street, portraits, the 6400 can do it all.

SLog3 is unusable in the 6400 due to its 8bit sensor it does not produce the correct colors and it becomes very soft. Slog2 is definitely usable but it’s still softer than Cine 2, and while it’s not exactly the same as SLog3 in the FX30 it can be very easily matched to FX30 SLog3 very closely to where the majority of people will have no idea.

Cine 2 is hands down the best color profile on the 6400 and will give the best image from the camera in 4K and especially 1080P. I’ve made some custom tweaks to my Cine 2 color profile to make it even better, if anyone wants to know the setting let me know, maybe I could make a video on it too.

I’ve also tweaked setting on a custom Cine 4 color profile that is an almost identical match to the FX30 S-Cinetone color profile, not only does it match but it looks really good straight out of camera.

The A6400 has been the best purchase made when I started my video and photo company and 3 years into my journey it’s still going strong.

I want the 6700 but, I’m holding off for now, and I’ll probably hang onto the 6400 until it dies. 🫶🏻🤘🏻😎

There are SO MANY CAMERAS its so overwhelming. Ur channel has been rlly helpful

Thanks for the video. I've been using the zv-e10 for 3 or 4 months now and I really love it. Been using Panasonic cameras for 3 years now and the autofocus on Sony cameras is far superior. Watching videos like yours only proves that I made the right decision in this little bad boy. Just to let you know that I've recorded videos over an hour long with no problem or hitting any time type of recording limit. According to Sony, the unit can record continuously for 13 hours. And for storage, the zv-e10 can support a 1 TB memory card. Love your videos and keep up the great work.

On the a6400, all the 10 Picture Profiles are completely adjustable and the adjustments can be saved. So you can re-define the way the image recorded (both for stills and for video) looks. That means you should be able to perfectly match the "look" of the a6400 to the zve10. Actually, the zve10 might also have this ability. I have never checked. The adjustments are very wide ranging, so that I believe I could match the Canon R50, Nikon Z50 and probably the Panasonic Lumix G85. You will notice I am naming the lower line cameras. I am very confident about matching those. I would not be surprised if the latest, highest model cameras might have capabilities that exceed the adjustment of the a6400. On the other hand, the latest, highest Sony could probably match most of the other current highest models.

Another great video! If you remember, I purchased the A6400 due to one of your previous videos comparing the SV-E10 and the A6400. I am so glad I chose the A6400 as I also take photos I am a bit limited to the kit lens until i save up some money to purchase a few proper lenses. Yes, you can charger the A6400 through the micro usb port. It does not come with a separate battery charger which sucks but not a show stopper. In Canada the SV-E10 is $1000 CAD and the A6400 is $1350 CAD. EVF is a must for photography. Keep it up and maybe see about a "must have " lens for every budget video. Thank again

[zelkuth]

This is exactly the video I needed right on the perfect timing!
I just exchanged yesterday my ZVE 10 for the a6400. And I was in serious doubt whether I made the right choice or not. All doubts, are gone now I am so relieved and happy. 😅

[_stephenramos]

This video couldn't have gone up at a better time. Been deciding between these 2 cameras for weeks now, and will finally pull the trigger on the a6400!

[nilanshgaur]

Have both the cameras, what stopped me from selling my a6400 is the fact that the image out of the a6400 looks more analog'ish or filmic than the zve10. You are absolutely right there, cannot be described in words but the zve10 image is a little more digital or sharper natively.

[yottahertz]

Thanks for your videos, earlier i was so confused between ZV-E10 and a6400 but as i mainly do photography so i just bought a6400 yesterday as an upgrade from my a6000 and i am very satisfied from the performance of a6400.

[richardbarnard]

Thank you for this man! I am FINALLY getting the ZV-E10!!! It's been a long time coming!

[lvc]

I think for me, only being into cameras for 2 years it comes down to lenses. I can get the E10 and a Sigma 30mm prime for the price of the a6400. It is the same problem I have with the E1 vs a6700, buying the 6700 allows me to get some great lenses for the $800 savings of not going full frame. In this case the E10 and the a6400 are almost the same camera, one is just $200 more. I mean in the end you will end up buying the same lens no matter which you buy. I vote for the cheaper body.

[RahzAlGhul]

To me the photos on the zve10 look better than the 6400 and the m50ii looks better than the zve10 based on what you showed. The 6400 looks over exposed correct me if I’m wrong, it’s like HDR on the zv and just reg sdr on the 6400; after finishing the video it looks like the 6400 is more true to life vs the ZV darkens the photo to make it look more sexy, great video nevertheless I appreciate your passion and illustration of communication to us on how you felt. I feel like I should pay you for this review.

[DanVanLife]

I’m so close to ordering my first camera other than a d3200 I had on highschool.. I think I’m going ZV e10 because my main focus is a mix of vlogging and hopefully doing more cinematic type videos

[asturiancetorix]

I bought two days ago a Sony A6400 with the kit lens 18-135mm F.3.5. I added an inexpensive TTArtisan 35mm F1.4, just to try a wide manual focus lens. That gear is more than enough to have fun.

[AZ_Productionz]

Great video again! I currently have a zve10 but am considering getting a a6400 as I mainly do photography with light video work and I feel like I’m missing a lot with the EVF . Thanks for comparison, I think I’ve made my mind up!

[DemiochMD]

I'm a camera noob. Planning to go in blind and go from there.

I think ZV-E10 is better suited for me.

Thanks for the video.

[skptn]

was still stuck on the zve10 or the a6400 but im going with the a6700 i wanted the a6400 but didnt like the tilt now that the a6700 has the flippy screen im sticking with it cant wait to get it and learn

[pdcorlis]

I’m really surprised at how much more “filmic” the 6400 image is compared to the ZV-E10. I see that as a real decision point.
