This guy. Uploading a video at 2am...

[@bmwt4k]

Glad to see you back on KZbin man, always saw your reviews as very unbiased and informative your work is much appreciated

[@Fernyg323]

Sold my 5 year old a6000 yesterday and picked up a6400. It was sad letting go but excited as well! Nothing but great things from Sony!

[@GraphicMill]

The a6400 is a great little camera. I suggested it to my sister-in-law and she has fallen in love with it. She does portraits with the Sigma 56mm f1.4. She also has the Sigma 30mm f1.4, the Tamron 28-75mm 2.8 and the 16-50’kit lens. She is one very happy photographer with this easy to pack kit. I’m looking to add this to my own a7III Kit to use it on my gimbal. My a7III is in a cage and a hassle to use on the gimbal, so the a6400 kept clean and light would be great to have ready for the gimbal.

[@that1cameraguy]

Very good points about the small setup that's easy to pack. I really like that about this camera.

[@lyfewithmarkanthony]

This is exactly like my setup The SmallRig cold shoe mount completely solved the microphone blocking the flip up screen dilemma that everyone was complaining about at release, and other than lack of IBIS, which is not a problem for me, I believe this is the best most compact vlogging setup.

[@ogonzilla]

Best KZbin setup for right now. Lives on my desk staring at me with the lil' kit lens. Great video!

[@jevgenijskozlovskis6075]

Saving money for my a6400. Will be my first ever camera yay!

[@that1cameraguy]

Good choice

[@pcphotography9108]

Sony a6400, 16-70f4 for walk around, 30f1.8 OSS, 16f1.4 when in tripod. Pretty spot on.

[@Sey357]

SONY GOD FOREVER ✌️#1 👑

[@wersene50ni]

I did not know you are a teacher like me great video

[@CharlesCabrera]

I'm using the A6300 with the cage and external monitor. Sometimes it would be nice to have a flip-up screen, I think I'll try out the A6400 now. Thanks for the information.

[@ReubenLardizabal]

Thanks to you, I now know how to use my A6000

[@PeterMossUkulele]

Great video man. Very informative and I have subscribed. Thanks.

[@rhovna88]

Ahhh nice. What about the settings of the camera for YT sitdownvideo. Would you do a video on that please 😬😬

[@natashanicole7408]

Amazing to see you back at it! Love the channel as always

[@carloscarlitos4010]

Just got the a6400 can't wait for all the accessories vid and lens stuff for this...no decided on a battery pack or meinke extended with a cage to shoot video though...

[@that1cameraguy]

You're gonna love it.

[@TJuice1986]

That’s basically the setup I like to use. The Sony a6400 with the sigma 16mm 1.4. I use the smallrig ccs 2310 cage and the wooden handle. It adds stability and feels better in my hands. I’m a bigger guy so the a6400 by itself it just way to small.

[@daveassender1099]

so great to have you back 👍

[@that1cameraguy]

Thanks Dave!

[@oakleyxmetal9040]

AF is so much better with the mc-11 vs a A6500. ❤️ This camera.

[@that1cameraguy]

I did notice this. I'll have to test this out more.

[@markshirley01]

I think if you film yourself the A6400 is a great camera. If like me you film behind the camera (I would have thought the majority of people) it's not such an obvious choice. I am considering it for a lightweight camera for a compact gimbal like the Weebill Lab or SC tho. PS you don't always need a gimbal for hand held clips. I use my fluid head and rest the handle extended on to my shoulder.

[@RobertMcCalle]

your setup is perfect man. Thanks for the content you are owesome!

[@LouisLuzuka]

This is actually a killer setup 😍 might have to sell my SL2 man.... Nah I'll keep both! Thanks for this! Much love from Vancouver Canada ❤️

[@Newtperc]

I recorded a 2 hour performance with a battery attached and it was at 88% when I unplugged the external battery pack! The bionz X processor is so much more energy efficient!

[@MajorMotions]

The a6400 is a great vloggling camera although it’s very underrated for that purpose. I still think the 6500 is Still the APSC flagship for Sony. Great video. Glad to see you back on KZbin.

[@KDHildreth]

The only thing the A6500 has over the A6400 is IBIS, everything else is better on the A6400 - improved color science, focus, real time tracking in video, no record limit out of box, no screen dimming in 4k, better heat management, improved processor/software, battery life, Hyper Log Gamma, lower iso for s-log, time lapse, better menus etc. etc.

[@hunter_pauley]

Thinking of upgrading from my a6000 to the a6400 finally

[@AW305]

Love the color grading you did on this video

[@that1cameraguy]

Thanks man, I don't do much unfortunately, I just drop a LUT in Premiere. :) The lighting in the room helps though.

[@ScoutBobrman862]

Thanks brother. Awesome video!! Blessings, Peace, strength and continued success!!

[@that1cameraguy]

Thanks Jackson

[@iguanaman08]

I have the A6400. I'm stuck on something though. Recording in 25p (either 1080p or 4k) I get a noticeable flickering when panning left or right. I'm at 1/50 and use lenses with and without stabilization. What am I doing wrong? 60p and above the problem goes away.

[@bmnmuzic944]

WHICH PROFILE IS BEST FOR SONY 6500?

[@samdg4353]

You ARE back! 👊🏻

[@that1cameraguy]

I hope. :)

[@blanken1]

what format do you shoot your videos in and do you grade them afterwards. Thats the part Im trying to figure our as well. I think Im sold in the a6400 even though the 6600 just got released, need to save some money for glass. Thanks this was an awesome video packed full of great info!

[@dvogiatzis]

Great video as always

[@charlespangilinan6351]

I'm still on an a5100 hahahaha I don't need pro vid quality, though. Picture quality is still great on the a5100 with the 18-105mm f4.

[@that1cameraguy]

Good points. If it still does the job, no need to upgrade.

[@SaskRiderMoto]

Hey Danny, What would you say for ISO could you get away with this camera in low light for clean photo/video? could it do 6400 clean? or would you say 3200 max or 1600 max? I use to shoot DSLR, Took a break and getting the itch to shoot again and want to shoot mirror-less. I was looking at sony A7iii, but then this came out. For now I will be mostly shooting my family, and learning to shoot video. Eventually I want to get into paid portraits/video jobs on the side. What are your thoughts? The only other camer I was looking at was the Panasonic S1 but the auto focus is not as good as Sony and it is expensive but the video options are amazing on paper. Thank you in advance for your help.

[@dlovisuals]

Dude hell yeah another Danny video!

[@that1cameraguy]

LOL

[@coreytomsrealtor3072]

I keep hearing this about the rode micro (The cat covering). I am sure you can find a smaller dead cat to fit on this thing. This isn't the only dead cat cover in the world.

[@MelvinDlaCruz]

Can you share your video setting?

[@abpositivebulldogs2170]

Welcome back!

[@that1cameraguy]

Thanks bro!

[@LouisLuzuka]

If im using this for Vlogging would u recommend the stabilized a6500 rather than this one? Not really sure if I'll use the screen because I prefer not to look at the screen while filming , but its alot cheaper which is extremely exciting with the 16 1.4

[@Newtperc]

in my experience the 6400 doesn't charge while it's recording with a battery pack attached. An added battery pack adds about 40-50% battery life

[@MrAnil209]

🔥🔥🔥

[@DIYReid]

What LAV Mic do you use with the wireless go?

[@henryluna2218]

I have a sigma 16mm and sony a6000, Do you recomend this ND filter? I want use a filter on my sigma lens to make long exposure (during the day).

[@TJuice1986]

Sony likes to advertise that the A7R4 has 15 stops of dynamic range. Well the a6400 has 13.6 stops of dynamic range. That’s really impressive for a crop sensor!

[@justfindit]

@that1cameraguy just wondering. What picture profile do you use for a controlled environment like this, aka a home KZbin studio?

[@user-ok6ef9zn4f]

Why did you shoot this video with an ND filter when you were in a controlled lighting environment? Just curious

[@MehmetSalihYILDIRIM]

I was wondering if you were using manual focus or autofocus in this video. This is my first Sony camera, and I was hoping to film myself using autofocus, but there is a lot of pulsing even though it can clearly detect and follow my face. Are you aware of any solutions for that or is it what it is?

[@adamlikestorock]

Which lens?

[@MehmetSalihYILDIRIM]

Adam Likes to Rock Tamron 28-75 f2.8 and Sony 16-50 kit lens. Those are the only ones I have.

[@adamlikestorock]

Mehmet S. YILDIRIM good lens. Maybe check your af speed and sensitivity and lower it.

[@MehmetSalihYILDIRIM]

Adam Likes to Rock Yea, already did those. You don’t get any pulsing with this camera when filming yourself?

[@adamlikestorock]

@@MehmetSalihYILDIRIM I have a7iii/a7rIII and have never had issues. also, the AF is supposed to be better on the a6400.

[@Lunafilms12]

I’m just wondering I love this camera and i wanted to get this as my back up camera. I have the go pro wireless as well. How do you monitor your audio if the camera does not have an audio out

[@SPDTDL]

Wow, the vids keep coming! woohoo!

[@naveenkapoor847]

Nice n informational video...can you suggest a single perfect lens for a6000 (still photography only)

[@that1cameraguy]

If I had to just choose one lens to live with if it was me, it would be the Sigma 30mm F1.4.

[@GRJCLyon]

It sucks for me that this camera is that great because I don’t do video. I never really have. With having Nikon FF gear and the Sony a6000 it doesn’t seem to make sense to purchase this because all the great features I’d never use. What would be really nice is if Sony made just a stills camera that would blow the doors off of everything else. Our photo cameras are now camcorders. I’m sure with one of these bodies they could remove any video options and pour all that tech in to making a Sony a6600SRIII. All the goodies in one package for photogs. That would be awesome.

[@dandaan]

What's your opinion on cheap vs expensive variable ND filter. I too was looking for one for my 16f1.4 but pretty hesitant.

[@that1cameraguy]

I've never really purchased high end variable ND filters, other than the Tiffen brand which have been okay. I've been in situations when filming on a sunny day shooting almost wide open and having to stop the filter down considerably. I'd experience some nasty color cast when pushing the nd filter. Secondly, I've used variable nd filters for photography before, and the lower cost ones I used definitely impacted the quality of the images in terms of sharpness and color. I just use that particular Variable ND filter in the video to balance my key light with the outdoor sun from my window and it works well. If I were to push that ND to the extremes, it probably wouldn't do so well. As far as expensive ones, I don't have a good answer as I haven't tried the high end ones.

[@dandaan]

@@that1cameraguy thanks for your answer! Welcome back

[@adamskiman17]

What’s the portable changer you used? I’ve used a few different portable changers and they didn’t let me record while it was charging..

[@that1cameraguy]

I was using a Rav Power brand. I don't want to recommend anything right now as I'd like to test this area more with battery packs.

[@adamskiman17]

that1cameraguy thanks, would definitely give it a watch!

[@meymean11]

Hello bro, which lens good for shot portrait and landscap in one lens for APSC ? thanks.

[@guusverschuuren8495]

raksmey dy that’s a hard one, i’d say the 18-105 or the 18-135

[@meymean11]

@@guusverschuuren8495 okay thanks

[@mish19811]

Do you prefer this lens over the sigma 30 ?

[@that1cameraguy]

I do.

[@GRJCLyon]

So far, 3 people that can’t afford this camera gave the video a thumbs down. Just an observation. 😁

Big N0! No IBIS.
