With the window closed and heating set to 22 degrees celsius it took me 30 seconds to write this comment before posting...


I have seen many reviews about the a6400 and what I like about yours is how in depth your fast paced reviews are!

[jasonabadie]

Dude, this was hands down the best Sony A6400 review out there. Everyone always points out the negatives but you covered your negatives with tips to actually solve the issues. Well done!

[josiahtribbett]

You are my favorite photo/video tech reviews/information channel on YouTube. I love that you are no nonsense. What a title. I’ve never heard pointless information from your channel, I’ve never heard cliché noise that is meant to draw more appeal do your channel. I can’t say enough about how refreshing your channel is.

[TarekAlShawwa]

such a comprehensive review, gets straight to the point and covers things that most people miss, amazing as always!

[ardie]

Outside of the praises others sing about you already, I'm amazed at the rate of production in addition to the quality and attention to detail. Outstanding.

[ahmonon]

I know you from camera conspiracies channel, you're one of the best reviewer in the YouTube right now if not the best

I've yet to have a flippy screen karate chopped off of my cameras but I'll keep an eye out for evil ninjas... 😂

[SrSrSr]

Damn Gerald, I truly appreciate how methodical you are, testing all the permutations. It’s like you thought about all the possible criticisms of your testing method in advance and ruthlessly smacked them down pro-actively. Keep that up! Also thanks for focusing on things no one else was doing instead of making us weed through a long review covering identical information that is in videos everyone has surely already seen. Gerald is indeed crazy.

[SongbyrdASMR]

I’m saving up to purchase this camera right now to replace my a6000. And just from hearing about how much improved the overheating issues are, I can’t wait to get this new camera!

[brendanwest]

Thank you so much for doing the extensive over-heating tests on this camera. I know that isn't a problem for a lot of people interested in these cameras, but for me it is a major concern so I appreciate you taking the time to test and deliver the results. Great video!

[bikingchupei]

6:50 ~ 9:42 major props for the tests you've done on the recording time, that took a great amount of time.

[bennielaars]

Very helpful review! most reviewers look at the vlogging qualities but you look beyond that

[OUTDOORS]

Fantastic review man! Best on youtube! Thanks for all the hard work 👍

[ivankiefer]

Straight to the point and clear. You do greats reviews.

[Keeratipong]

You look very calm and relax in this video. I couldn't tell how much work you've put on testing battery life in so many different scenarios.

[jennajai]

you are a wonderful human. thank you for this review. i'm entirely new to the camera world, and after much much much research and review watching... yours is supremely helpful, and informational. learning and enjoying from you! you rock.

[Usualeclectic]

Thank you for reviewing the battery power, as well over heating tests. I had ask some questions in your live chat and you spoke that a video was coming and here it is. You’ve delivered the results for us! Right on!

[TheJourneyYoutube]

I research things A LOT before I buy them. I'm realizing that your reviews have been the last ones I view before buying time and time again. Why have I bothered with all of the others...? Thanks for all of the great info!

[amitkrupal]

Thanks a ton for the review it clears all the confusion btw A6400, A6300 & A6500. Was previously considering either a6000/a6400 with Feiyutech G6 plus or A6500 for travelling. Now finalised it for A6400. Man you Canadians have superb & easy way of reviewing camera products or cars(thestraightpipes guys).

[GavinWebber]

Thanks, Gerald. Great review. It has helped me out with my overheating issues when live streaming using this camera!
