[@Vamp898]

Well APS-C does have a lot of advantages - Easier to do landscapes: Ultra-Wide Angle Lenses for APS-C are, in general, easier to build and you need to step down less to get everything sharp. 10mm f/5.6 is most of the time totally fine and with 10mm f/8, everything is perfectly sharp. No need for f/11 even further (which hurts the image quality) - More Tele with Tele: An 300mm f/2.8 turns into an 450mm with f/2.8 brightness but f/4 DOF. So you can shoot at f/2.8 without risking that only a small plane is sharp but you still have enough nice creamy bokeh, even with APS-C often more than you need - Bright lenses are actually usable. If you have an 105mm f/1.4, you can actually use it at f/1.4 and there are still things that are in focus. No need to constantly step down to at least f/2 to get at least some DOF I shot with full frame for quite some time (Tested the D800E for a short time, shot the 5D Mark III and then the a99 for several months) and it does have quite some disadvantages Lenses are way heavier too and often less bright (something like the 18-35mm f/1.8 just can't exist in the FF, just look at how big the 24-35mm f/2 already is. Imagine that in 24-50mm and f/1.8 :D it would be way to heavy/big, i think we dont even have to mention the 50-100mm f/1.8, that would be unthinkable in Full-Frame). So APS-C for sure does have advantages, as it does have disadvantages. It always depends on what you need/want but i'd personally say, for most photographers APS-C is the better choice. Full-Frame turns more and more into an status symbol than being actually needed by the photographer. Lots of photographers even have more disadvantages than advantages out of the FF but use it anayway because its pro and as a pro you need to use pro bro

[@Vamp898]

@@Da_Man_1221 Well there the thing. APS-C does have disadvantages and they are even bigger with 4/3. I thought about getting an 4/3 camera and tested some of them, but decided against it. After testing with several sensor sices (even APS-H) i came to the conclusion that, at least right now, APS-C seems to be, for me, the best of all worlds. Not to big, not to small. For me it is just right. Others, of course, have other preferences.

[@Tarkinx]

Very good Analysis

[@kelvinlelvin]

Very well written and fair breakdown!

point 3: isn't that because f1.4 on apsc is actually the f2 equivalent on full frame? you gotta consider the crop factor on the aperture as well, not just the focal length.

I always thought the main advantage to APS-C sensors was the price of glass. You can get some pretty nice lenses for $300-400. I am going to upgrade my a6000 but no way I am going to spend $1400 on a lens. If I am going to spend that kind of money I will just buy a full frame lens for the future.

[@kbruff2010]

Very good review.

[@epicEKG77]

I use an a6500, mostly for video, and the 6600 is an upgrade (mostly the new AF system and the Z battery), but for that price I doubt that i'll replace the 6500, and was hoping for more upgrades, like 4K 60fps and 2 card slots so I could upgrade (and even for a higher price) the lens prices are outrageous!

[@Gilgland]

That a6600 looks tempting but I think I'm still going to wait for the A7S3 as the upgrade from my a6500...even if that means waiting until next year.

[@davetv13]

Yes some of us like and need ASP-C sensor camera for the extra reach it allows us. Those of us that do work in zoos/wildlife etc, I have no plans to replace my Nikon D500 with a FF camera waiting to see what ASP-C "PRO" stuf Nikon releases

[@dieterpaterek3720]

Hallo, as mostly great video. The 6600 is really a great camera and I use it together with my super A9.If I expect to crop on my A9 (going from 24 to 10MP) I change to the 6600 with 24MP ( the A7IV has cropped 26MP). I keep the lens and change cameras. Can I patent that?

[@ranakirti]

Hi... What camera and lens you shoot this video with...!? Thanks

[@PraveenKumar-fs6of]

Really wanting for Review & RAW files , Please Do that !!! ,👍😎

[@Remixthisgaming]

So im in the merket now and I'll probably be getting the 6100. It's between that at the 6400 the reason I chose this is to make sure I have a small camera I can use to get spontanious and covert shots. I know I'll be sacrificing the larger frame but it's something worth mentioning when you talk about the full frame. Especially if you're on a tighter budget. Good advice in the Tamron or Sigma lenses though.

[@TheNappyboy40]

been saving up to get an a7iii, thought abt it again when they announced the a6600 last night. but i think ill stick to the a7iii for now, and eventually get the a6600 by the end of the year. hope that'll be a good decision for now!

[@HyPeDCommando]

Picked up a a6100 w/ kit lens open box basically brand new for only $560 bucks. But was wondering if keeping it and getting better glass or get the a7ii or even a7rii and maybe 1 decent glass

[@0mildoo]

Hopefully at some point APS-C will be recognized not as a budget option but as a size alternative to full frame. ASP-C cameras are just better than full frame cameras at some things, particularly street photography where having a smaller camera and smaller lenses can make you stand out less than FF mirrorless cameras that are similar in size to old DSLRs. The quality you get from APS-C cameras is hardly lacking either, sure you may not get the same sort of raw detail as you do with a full frame, but if that somehow makes the difference between a good and bad shot that’s likely more on you than the camera.

[@patricksprojects]

[@ManolisNirgianakis]

I own the a6500 camera for about 2 years and I'm happy with it, so no upgrade in my mind yet. I'm really considering in buying the 70-350 mm glass but I'm not sure if it worth its money, maybe I'll rent one for testing and then decide. It's too bad that for e-mount there are no alternatives lenses for this range of mm.

[@noahwright5311]

I can’t find this bit of info: Does the a6100 have an artificial horizon or level guide? The a6000 did not.

The A6100 is missing the S-Log profiles. Does it actually cost more money to include that? Like how V-Log was a paid add on for some Lumix cameras.

Thanks for the reviews Jared! QUESTION: Mark Galer said that there's no 29-min record limit on the 6600 but other sources say that there is! Please provide a definitive answer. Thanks in advance.

[@zuzmju]

I would be suprised if the a6600 would have one when the a6400 has no limit

[@renestaempfli1071]

I guess for Sony, it makes sense to be present in the APS-C market, where they can share some of the components and software from their high end products. But their focus is the VF market, where the profit margin is much higher. Medium to long term, APS-C and smaller formats will be insignificant formats for interchangeable lens cameras . We will be back to 24x36mm as in the analog days.

[@richardpcrowe]

I have both the A6500 and the A6400; plus the A7iii. The A6600 doesn't put enough on the table for me to convert from the A6500 to the A6600. The best attribute of this camera is the longer battery life but the Meike battery grip equals the A6600 battery life and gives me a vertical shutter button. IBIS??? I will shoot with Sony OSS lenses... What would have been the parameters which would have convinced me to upgrade the A6500 to the A6600" 1. Flash sync speed of at least 1/250 second 2. Better and larger EVF 3. Side access for the SD card Dual SD cards and higher resolution might be nice but not a priority for me... Instead of the A6600 and the new APSC lens, I purchased an open box A7iii and a Tamron 28-75mm f/2.8 lens (for actually less cost). I love the EVF of the A7iii and I love many parameters of that camera, including inserting the SD card at the side rather than from below,. I will now shoot with the A7iii and Tamron lens paired in tandem with the A6400 wearing either the 12mm f/2.0 Rokinon or the 70-200mm f/4 G OSS... IMO: I think that the A6400 is a better buy than the A6100... The A6400, for an extra hundred and fifty bucks, seems to give you a lot more... BTW: I would LOVE a Sony compatible flash that is the equal of the tiny Canon 270EX-ii which I have carried all over China and parts of Europe. The 270EX-ii is a small low profile flash that has HSS. I own two Godox TT350S flashes which is the smallest Sony compatible flash with HSS capability (that I am presently aware of). However, the TT350S sits quite a bit higher (4-inches vs 2.5 inches), than the 270EX-ii which could be a problem, combined with the rather flimsy plastic hotshoe of the TT350S when I carry the camera and flash on a Black Rapid Strap. However, I have carried the lower profile 270EX-ii with its metal hotshoe mount all over on my Canon DSLR cameras with no problems... Do you know of any low profile flash with HSS capabilities?

[@nemrodpl]

for the a6600 and 16-55 2.8 price you get a7iii and tamron 28-75 2.8 (which in fact is one stop faster). No point in getting APS-C gear then, would be my guess.

[@jackblackwhole]

It really comes down to lenses. Camera body come and goes very fast. Full frame lenses for the most part are larger, heavier and cost more in comparison to crop body lenses. I would imagine that there are more casual photographers vs pros. Lighter, cheaper camera lens and body are probably gona be more favorable to us casual folks...

[@NamLe1975]

Sorry total noob question but how is the a6100 better than the m50 for video. I'm new to photography and it just seems the m50 with it's flip out screen and mic jack would be better. Someone please explain what I'm missing here. Thank you in advance.

Is it bad that I like having a flash!?!? I like the smaller body of the a6300/6400/6500. Having an extra batter is no big deal, takes 10 seconds to switch!

[@JourneymanActor]

I wonder if the tariffs are playing a role in the pricing because it is way too high and the gh5 still seems like a stronger camera for the same range. Also, did anyone tell Sony about APS-H? In order to compete with the gh5, that would be a better sensor.

[@JANKOLLPLAYZFX]

I honestly have to say that I love my Sony a6300 it is a couple years old and lacks some features but I don't see the need to upgrade to another Sony APS-C Camera. I think for the most people who have an older Sony APS-C camera its just not worth to get these. I will wait maybe after the A7sIII they come out with a 6k a6800 or something maybe with better Battery life and a flip screen?

[@rask4p]

I'm looking to get my first real camera and the full frame vs. APS-C debate is very tricky to navigate. As someone who likely won't migrate from one sensor to another ever given I'm a hobbyist, I will likely live with whatever glass I start buying for a very very long time. The a6100 seems like a great body that represents a ton of value, but I feel like we're on the precipice of major improvements to the mirrorless world as processing power is taken advantage of. Idk, it's a tough place to sit when I just want to start taking better stills.

[@trym2121]

Just get a6100 or xt30. FF is kinda expensive if you want to adapt native/third party af lenses. A6100 because better go cheapest as the obsolete sony body clearly needs update (they're still using micro usb in 2019!!). XT30 if you want clear company attitude on apsc and you are willing to spend fortune to get those 1.4 and 1.2 lenses at later stages

So, is it better to have a Full Framed or an APS-C? They have their advantages right?

[@CheeseOnEverything]

It all depends on what you use your camera for. If you do low light or portrait photography, I'd say full frame is the way to go. But if you do nature photography where you need reach, APS-C has its advantages.

[@CheeseOnEverything]

The main difference I'd say is in size and weight of lenses and camera bodies. But the thing is, full frame has a leg up on APS-C because you can always get teleconverters to achieve more reach from a full frame lense, but you cant get more light into a smaller sensor given the lens is the same aperture.

[@HaotoAnimeOnPiano]

@@CheeseOnEverything Thanks for replying. So, a Full Framed camera is better for night photography? What about filming? I think I should just go for Canon SL3

Looked into going back to film. 10+$ for a roll and Iford black and white costs even more. Looking forward is the only real option (Film is dead). APS-C for a beginner (or novice) is the way to go. The new 90D would be my suggestion. On a budget a used 70D gets you great photos and video. Camera technology changes as often as underwear (maybe not Jared). Stick to a sound camera and remember to shoot and practice your technique. Jared offers a great Online course “Fro knows photo” ep 001 to practice from. It is by far more valuable then the latest and greatest camera.

Could anyone advise which choice between a6400 and a6600 is best option for me?

[@BlueBomberTurbo]

Really comes down to IBIS. That will help a lot in handheld videos. The other option is to buy a gimbal, where a good one will come in a bit cheaper (A6400 + gimbal) vs an A6600. But in use, it's a LOT bigger. And then again, the stabilization it will provide with some practice can't be matched by any camera. So if you need some stabilization, the A6600 is what you want. If you need a lot of stabilization, grab the A6400 and any decent gimbal. If you don't need stabilization, get the A6400. Both cameras have Real Time AF and Eye AF, and batteries are easily replaceable, so there's no significant different between the cameras there.

[@Manny_News_Blogs_Tutorials]

Other than wide angle and good low light/ dynamic range capabilities, I don't see any other advantage of full frame over aps-c. I'm not even a fan of very creamy bokeh because it's hard to achieve pin sharp focus with very narrow depth of field especially with group shots of people not really lined up well some of them will appear out-of focused. And the size of fx gears turns me off, adding to the bulk of carrying additional lighting equipment and tripod stands during location shoots where I have to ride buses and public utility transport (I live in the Philippines where carrying expensive bulky equipment is a lure to thieves and pickpockets). I regularly shoot birds-in-flight photos in my leisure time and some street photos in my off duty as an events photographer, and I prefer to shoot with smaller, lighter and inconspicuous aps-c mirrorless cameras. Considerably smaller than full frame and more reach even with just the basic 18-135mm or 55-210mm lenses oftentimes 24 megapixels is enough to crop photos when the lighting is very good. Thanks to the introduction of A6100 and A6600 I'm now considering to upgrade my A6000 to the same crop sensor body with my existing crop sensor kits rather than going full frame with A7iii and buy new set of full frame lenses.

[@youuuuuuuuuuutube]

Hi, is that same Sony A6000Y &Sony A6000 ???

[@kbruff2010]

Thank you for this video. My comments: I am dissappointed with this iteration, for the cost and options this is not a compelling upgrade. I own the a6500, the capability index is great because of the apps, but this one won't run apps. I am not happy that all they did really was better battery, and flip screen. That's expensive for such similar base functions. The lenses are fine with the older options ... So why Sony, it's because they need to move on to new tech.

[@RatedDsB]

Which would be better? The A6100 or A6400?

[@ccphotofilm]

I like both cameras and what´s SONY is doing in the market, The only thing that I would have added to this a6600 is 4K 60p, that´s my only complaint about this new amazing piece of gear. Look what SONY gives you in this $1400 body. You would never have that in Nikon, CANON or FUJI, or whatever is on the market right now. And that´s what I like about SONY, they give you the best quality vs pricetag option which should be everybodies goal, unless you were reach and could buy 2 o 3 cameras to match the best performance. For me this a6600 gathers the best technology for the best price. Correct me If I am wrong. Great Jared as usual, I would like to see a nice review of this two SONY´S, Thanks!

Sigma 18-35 and MC-11 is everything you need for almost any purposes on Sony APS-C.

[@DanOhPhotography]

love sony focusing. battery life of 6600 is fantastic. however, as a serious photographer I look at Fuji or Panasonic and they look like serious cameras where as Sony 6000 series look like kiddy’s camera.

[@kirkbruner7308]

Are you taking pictures of the camera or with the camera?

[@elbanaag9355]

a7iii + tamron 28-75 2.8 is cheaper than a6600 + 16-55 2.8.. and it's fullframe!!

[@DavidTran-hf3hn]

What’s best for video ?

[@jp2503]

People really complaining about APS-C saying it's too small, but so many people shoot micro 4/3 Panasonic... There's not much wrong with APS-C and I personally will be purchasing a Fujifilm X-T3 very soon.

[@jamestaylor954]

If you want APSC get Fujfilm XT-3 nothing can touch it!

[@iIIkickurbutt]

4k60 😋

[@BlueBomberTurbo]

@@iIIkickurbutt IBIS, untouchable AF, and inexpensive lenses (minus the 2 just launched, becuz tariffs).

[@RyeMijares]

If Sony just released the a6100 sooner, I would have chosen it over the M50 which I just bought this March 2019

[@jamesf3382]

I expected an APS-C camera with - a much bigger body (it would be easier to hold with big lenses) - a good EVF (the current one is a shame for such a price) - 4K 60fps (Fuji has it, phones have it). Maybe they have another camera to announce, who knows.

[@jody1622]

I've been waiting for a Sony C chip with IBIS with the new color tech. that I have in my A7 to replace my a600. And for me, it's about the weight of the camera and the lenses. I love my A7 and the big glass but I don't like schlepping around with it on long walks etc. Sometimes I want a lighter set up. I'm definitely a hobbyist with no desire to be a pro. Just want to take good photos.

[@abhishekhajare4500]

I'll rather buy a 70-200 f2.8 and use it with an adapter rather than buying their telephoto lens.

[@mihnealazar7039]

YOU F*CKED UP ROSE, YOU F*CKED UP! 😂😂🤣

[@doublelu22]

Can it take 960fps slowmotion video?

[@outtathyme5679]

Maybe tariffs are adding to the cost

[@markw.6526]

After 00:44, I never heard one other word that was said for the rest of the video!

[@pers4855]

In my opinion there’s nothing wrong with crop sensor cameras sometimes the extra reach is needed

[@shawnmiller2786]

You're not getting "extra reach". You're getting a cropped version that appears to be extra reach

[@pippo-1073]

craig hawkins you can crop s full frame in software. You can’t fill frame a crop in software.

[@RandyLittleStudios]

actually, crop sensor is a bad term. super35 / (same as aps-c) is older then what we call full frame. Leica turned the film from movie cameras on its side to make a larger frame. In the movie world full-frame is called Academy format but that is for prints that include the optical soundtrack.

[@joschulzv]

@@shawnmiller2786 depends on the MP. I got a 24MP FF camera and a 24MP Aps-c. So i get a higher resolution when i use the aps-c instead of cropping in on my FF image

[@nathanaelalexismilanes4352]

No new episode for Photo News Fix this week? 🤔

[@willc702]

As a videographer who uses 2 a6500 for most of my work, the a6600 didn't improve anything for me personally. The AF on the a6500 is more than adequate for me. The recording limit wasn't an issue for me since the a6500 still has the app functionality which lets me turn off the recording limit. And since I use a SmallHD Focus monitor I already have a fully articulating screen that also gives me a headphone jack and lets me power the a6500 with Sony NPF batteries (which are better, cheaper, and more universal than the Z batteries). Honestly, the a6500 is the perfect run and gun camera for me with these solutions. The only thing I was hoping for was 4K60 and 10-bit...even externally would have made me happy. I know the a7sIII might have 4K60 and 10-bit but I'm sure it will be damn near $4k and at that point I'd start considering a proper cinema camera with better ergonomics, ND filters, SDI, etc. I guess I'll just save my money for now.
