Canon M6 II vs Sony a6600 | 4K Compact Vlog Setups!

Late upload, let's see who's up! PS. I'm going to get my hands on the Fuji xt-4 as soon as I can ;)

Yaaasss Fuji!!!

[@Timi7007]

As a Canon user myself: The Sony just looks better. Not out of the box, but realistically you're not going to use it ungraded. The dynamic range really drives it home image-wise. And it's not just the look: More options in every category on the Sony! Quick switching to slowmo, image profiles, half-automatic modes, no record time limit and still better battery life. Especially battery and half-auto are huge points for daily use. And the other advantages are important for professional use. As much as I agree on the stabilization, I've seen enough issues with digital stabilization to prefer actual, physical stabilization. I'm currently considering switching. I like my Canon's, but the cripple-hammer is strong :/

[@leithgrifoni1849]

Timi I definitely agree. I’m a cannon user looking to switch to Sony as soon as an extra chunk of cash lands in my pocket

[@sergiolandz6056]

@@leithgrifoni1849 sony eco system is expensive af though. Amazing camera's but holey moley i know in canada just a nifty fifty will cost you around 400 bucks with tax.

[@Bobberhead007]

The lack of sharpness, the 720p look alike video was the deal breaker for me...

[@sadeqsegaraga8766]

@@Bobberhead007. Did you mean lack of sharpness in the M6 mark ii?

[@ChristopherFreedom]

Totally agree 🙏

[@evan]

I immediately pegged camera B as the sony because of the better dynamic range, but also immediately noticed camera A's colour science was much nicer out of cam

[@Ritalie]

I just like the more cinematic, muted colors of the Sony. It looks more cinematic, and professional.

[@Pharesm]

I'll just say, that color science is easy to fix in post, even with a preset you can save and batch-apply if desired. Dynamic Range on the other hand can be hard to impossible to fix in post

[@mrbranmar]

That's what color grading is for

[@ChristopherFreedom]

I totally agree

[@smoloms]

yep. shot canon for a long time and i still recognize the colors out of cam. on sony now and starting to get more used to the colors

Uploaded 5 minutes ago, already watched all 20 minutes in real time. Love this channel's content... no ego, informative, and even when selling things doesn't in any way feel sleezy or dishonest.

[@marcusgreco]

I'm only 14 years old and your personality is really incredible. All of your videos are so natural and don't seem forced. The best part of your channel is how informative each video is with still having an awesome plot/storyline. I also want to say that your vlog channel is fire. Once again love your channel and keep up the amazing work :)

A6600 looking good

[@brutsalvadi]

I think I'll buy one before January ;)

[@GerardSilesfitnesschef]

I have the sony 6600 with the 16-55 2.8, well spent money!

[@LJSA.]

Really love the M series. I actually had the original OG M too. Each year is a huge step forward but they always seem to lag behind. Hopefully things change this year for Canon.

[@jakestockstill5292]

Gene: "Canon color is best" Me: *goes to make snarky comment about the lack of Fuji cameras, sees Gene's comment* "You win this time sir"

[@SuperVPro]

Your videos are killer I really like the Sony camera ever since he made the 1st video about the sony a 6600 i just been wanting to get one really badd thank you so much for thy great contact

[@billymurphy3]

The Sony's tend to have a magenta shift in my experience. I shoot on A7III's and any time I deal with skin tones and they are slightly off, I ALWAYS bring the magneta down a tad, add a little warmth, and it's good.

[@Stefan-xt2sg]

Gene: "drop a comment" Me: thinking of something to comment while wondering if this giveaway is international

[@connollynate]

I like how the Sony doesn't crush the shadows, but prefer the colors out of the default settings of the Canon.

[@Nattodayy]

I’d take the A6600. At that price point, having a camera that has tons of creative features matters more to me than image quality.

[@JordanPritchard]

I agree :)

[@451asians]

I think you have it backwards bro, the Canon is cheaper and the Sony has the higher image quality

[@joshuareveles]

451asians it’s subjective tbh, I think the canon looks better IMO, but some people will say the Sony looks better and that’s fine. Buy what looks better to you and if it meets your needs

[@nickpetitt2642]

I bought the sony a6400 and it was honestly a great upgrade. I went for the sony because of the lens availability you can find but these cameras will probably do most everything you need them to do anyways.

[@simkiels]

I'll figure out how to fit this beast of a monitor in my studio later.. this thing would help no joke :) thank you ! Great work btw!

[@n-schlax]

Super helpful comparison! Thanks for putting these up against each other. The detail difference is definitely obvious, and I'd assume that it's because of the M6 Mark II's 4K actually being upsampled 2.7K (according to other sources). But looking at the comparison videos I'm wondering if the dynamic range difference that you call out is really more of an exposure difference. All of the Sony images seem just a bit brighter, which could explain them having more shadow detail. And on some of the shots the Canon seems to keep a bit more highlight detail. Could be that the Sony sensor is just a bit more sensitive? Or if you were using the same exposure settings on each, maybe that nicer Sony lens just transmits a bit more light even at the same aperture?

[@madflyer1093]

It's absolutely mind blowing just how far cameras have come in the last few years

[@amsterdope73]

Hi! I love your videos and every single one makes me a better camera enthusiast. What I love about your videos is that you're totally objective and have no bias. When its good, you say it, and when it sucks, you also say it. There are too many guys who are sponsored and trash everything that isnt the gear they're using. I watch EVERYTHING and I think you've helped thousands of us make better choices. Thank you for everything.

[@lorenzofit_mma]

24fps is now available for the M6! The update dropped a few weeks ago!

[@lorenzofit_mma]

The 24fps makes the M6 so much better I also downloaded cinestyle the flat color profile for better grading.

Conspiracy Theorists: “Nobody ever wins these giveaways you just sell them”

[@brunobasilemontini7464]

I'm trying to decide whether or not I should upgrade my 80D for the Canon M6 Mark ii. I am leaning on the M6Mii over the 90 D because I like how you can use the speed booster and get an almost full frame sensor on a budget friendly camera. Also, that monitor would look sick on my work space haha.

After watching several of your vids which cover the a6600 I'm sold on it. I'm buying two cameras that will be one of them. Love your reviews, comparisons, and production.

[@drivingsports]

Try something different. Get an Olympus. We started shooting with the EM1 Mk3 and the video quality matches favorably against the Sony A7III but with much better stabilization and weather sealing. (note: we've shot with ALL the Sony cameras and really like them.) It's also TINY compared to the FF Sony cams.

[@professionalpotato4764]

Would you still recommend Olympus with them gone? JIP has said they Olympus brand will be changed slightly. The Em1-3 looks really solid... But I'm not sure if I should get it. What if the EM1-4 never comes? I'll have nothing to upgrade to forever.

[@thegrayyernaut]

@@professionalpotato4764 People still use 5D Mark II today, so you won't have to worry about upgrading for the next 10 years if you love using the camera. I suggest trying to hold it yourself and get a feel.

I was personally looking to buy the Canon M6 II but looking at the footage of the a6600 it makes the choice harder! The overall image looked better on the Sony (except for the colors). The Sony might be worth it just for the nice touch to make it easier to use for video. I will have to look more into it!

The sony looks more like what I see from my eyes when actually out and about. The colors are actually closer to what we see while the canon just adds deeper red colors to everything and unreal. I think its better to start off with a real true life colors then if you like to change it to a certain effect then add that later also the detail is more in the sony. I'll gladly appreciate that giveaway also. :)

I've had the M6 ii almost too hot too touch with no overheating problems, recording in the sun. That said I can't get any decent handheld moving/panning footage, probably a settings (user error) issue but unusable. Haven't tried since I got a ND filter though... The two cameras were very similarly priced when I looked with kit lenses (around the black friday sales period), but the extra price of decent lenses for the Sony, when I already had the 11-22 and 22mm f2 meant I couldn't justify going the Sony.

14:26 Hot air only "rises" where there is a temperature difference, as in the presence of cooler air. Warmer air rises above cooler air because it is less dense than cool air, which won't occur in an incubator because it is a closed system where all the air is the same temperature (similar to a convection oven).

[@kylelowe]
