What do you guys love about the Sony a6500?

[@shubhamkundu2877]

picture profiles and continuous autufocus 😍

[@SidneyDiongzon]

+Shubham Kundu Yep! Thanks for watching!

[@SidneyDiongzon]

+Indra Purnama For the most part, yes! The a6300 is still a beast!

[@willc702]

Other differences for the a6500 include a bigger grip, extra custom button, improved shutter life, new menu system, Slow & Quick mode, and a way better buffer.

[@jaikavi5464]

It wasn't a factor in my purchasing decision, but I've come to love the fast buffer for run and gun photography. Can shoot many frames before that buffer fills up

[@pmteatime]

so glad I came across your video! when I bought this camera, I was so overwhelmed with the menu. thanks so much for sharing your settings!

[@SidneyDiongzon]

Glad this was helpful!!!!

[@ForrestLee]

Sidney.. I've watched this video as I'm backpacking through Southeast Asia and something as simple as setting the dials on 1 and 2 to shoot in 24fps and 120fps has saved me a ton of hassle, thank you!.... I hope all is well with you and keep making wonderful content!

[@SidneyDiongzon]

+Forrest Lee Thanks for watching man! Your journey is pretty dope bro! I'll be watching and rooting if you!!

[@SidneyDiongzon]

Glad this was helpful! Let me know if you have any more questions!

[@Beatz301]

Just an FYI to EVERYONE! It's not recording at 100 megabytes a second or 60 megabytes a second. It's actually megabits. So you don't need to spend almost $100 on an SDCard. SD cards are labeled in mb/s (megabytes) while the videos are in mbps (megabits).

[@MarcelClementi]

really helpful thank you!

+Richard Germane I’m so glad!!! Thanks for watching!!

[@JohanV66]

Many people would buy the A6500 on the strength of your enthousiasm alone. (Just bought it). This video is a lifesaver, it's concise and very pleasantly presented. Keep up the excellent work, my friend.

[@SidneyDiongzon]

+Johan V Thanks so much! And thank you for watching!!

[@jameldacosta5937]

Sidney Thanks for sharing. Definitely one of the most informative vids I've seen on the a6500. What lenses do you have on the camera and what others do you rec?

[@SidneyDiongzon]

Thanks! I made video about lenses for the a6500! Just search through my videos!

[@cwiklolo]

[@SidneyDiongzon]

+Dmitry Z Of course! Hope this was helpful!

[@LandonCramer]

Hey man, your videos are SO good. I'm 100% sure you are going to blow up on the youtube scene really soon. I have a quick question though, I have the sony a6300 and I shoot wedding videos. I already have the Sigma 30mm f1.4 (love it!) and the kit lens and the 55 - 210 lens. I am thinking about getting another lens, and since I love glidecamming, I was thinking about getting the Samyang 12mm f2 or the sony 50mm f1.8 for monopod shots or a similar longer focal length lens. I just need another good low light lens, and those two appeal most to me. Any thoughts? Thanks!

[@SidneyDiongzon]

+Landon Cramer Thanks man! Those are some awesome and encouraging words! As far as your next lens, I'd go with the 12mm. You already have a prime and zoom lens, so go for the wide angle lens to diversify your lens arsenal! Hope this helps!

[@onnie1968]

Great vid bro I've been thinking about buying the 6500, thanx to your vid. I've now made up my mind. :)

[@eckhar2]

Thanks for the awesome video. It’s so informative. But the slow motion mode didn’t work. What did I miss? What about s&q setting?

[@quangvietle]

For the slow motion c2 setting, are you using picture profile 8 as well?

[@mathieupsyche]

Thanks a lot for this great tutorial. You didn't talk about the aperture settings ?

[@SidneyDiongzon]

+Mathieu Psyché No, mainly because that depends on each lens. But thanks for watching!

[@GameSauce]

The dance break killed me XD

[@SidneyDiongzon]
