My gripe with this video is that is not a fair comparison in any way. The Sony is double the price. What I love most about my M50 is the adaptability to all my L glass.

[@cooloox]

@@IsmaelMartinezPR Also, the exposures weren't always the same. For example, you might notice a nice rich blue sky on the Sony next to a weaker blue sky on the Canon, but this was just a distraction from the fact the face (the main subject!) was correctly exposed on the Canon and very underexposed on the Sony. I prefer my subject exposed correctly, personally. As for custom profiles, why was one not used on the M50? Free profiles are readily available for Canon, I downloaded over 200 of them, including Fuji Astia and other Fuji film simulations.

[@Sean-yd4mi]

I think I might get the M50 and use the money to buy a nice lens or two. Total cost will probably be less than the 6400 body.

Thanks for the review. Well done and I genuinely appreciate it. I own the Canon M50 and absolutely love it. I would say I still love it's dual pixel auto focus over Sony's, however, it's undeniable that the A6400 edges out the M50 in a couple categories. But, in fairness, there is still about a 400 dollar difference in price between these two, not really an apples to apples comparison. I think that when considering the huge price difference, an argument could be made for either of these two taking home the bang for buck award. Thanks again for the review.

[@JetBen555]

Its sharper when you watch the video on your computer ? You are watching youtube dude... everything is 10x compressed, the fact that we can actually see a difference in sharpness and noise just show how much better the A6400 is.

@@JetBen555 the M50 was badly let down by the lens used on it for this demonstration, which is not generally reckoned to be particularly sharp. The compression on KZbin won't affect the sharpness - 1080P is 1080P, whatever the compression ratio. I've had the opportunity to feed both of these cameras directly into my 50" 1080P monitor, but with an L Series lens on the M50. Shooting at 50P on both cameras, there was next to no difference between them.

[@livefullerwithlovefuller8679]

@ant billionz That's really good info that we can buy an adaptor for the Sony and use less expensive Cannon lenses. I'll do some more research about that to make sure it will work for me, but this might be the information that pushes me over the edge to get the Sony. Thanks!

Can you shoot Livestream video to KZbin with an external power adapter that plugs into the wall with the M50? We do livestreams that go 3-4 hours at times and swapping batteries would be a deal killer for us. We understand that the 6400 can be plugged into the wall and will stream and charge the battery?

spent a lot of time deciding between the M50 and Sony 6400, ultimately opted for the Canon. They both have their peaks and valleys and in the end, I would say they are both great. 4K was pushing me towards the Sony but the lens options, cost and software bugs got me to choose the M50. Neither was a bad choice but in the end, it was based on confidence. if both bodies were 100% equal I suspect everyone would opt for the Canon.

If you go to amazon or smallrig.com and type in 2310 cage you’ll see it. The photos it takes are cleaner, it shoots 4K, higher 1080 frame rate, and 11fps stills. I would definitely say it’s much better then the 80D. The only down side is battery life. I hope this helped! Definitely pick up the sigma 16mm 1.4 and the sigma 30mm 1.4. They are amazing lenses on the a6400!!!

[@Sr7Sr7Sr7]

One thing you didn’t cover is stabilization... what did you think of the Canon’s Digital Image stabilization? It has a crop and I’m curious if you find it valuable for vlogging vs. not having it. Both cameras offer optical lens stabilization but it doesn’t seem to be enough to make either great for vlogging on its own. Does optical stabilization work better for either camera? To me the Sony would be a no-brainer for vlogging if it wasn’t so damn shaky.

[@quarantinaakalillian7359]

👍 Thanks! This video helped me to avoid buyers remorse. The M50 is $550 with a kit lens; The A6400 is $1,000 with a kit lens and it comes with lots of accessories. I bought the Sony. The 6400 has better color, is much more versatile and does a great job with 4K. My gaming PC can handle editing 4K; I'm a student, so, Adobe CC is dirt cheap for me... With a gimbal, a kit lens, and an ultra wide-angle lens, I can recoup my investment by shooting upscale real estate pics and video: Large commissions = large marketing budgets. If I tried to use the Canon for the same purpose, the only realtors that would hire me, wouldn't pay much, because they'd be marketing first-time homebuyer houses.

One downside of the sony camera is, that sony lenses in general are a lot more expensive, but there are also good budget options from sony or sigma. For 850€, i think it makes sense going for the sony6400,because it's not that much more expensive than the M50.

Great comparison. You showed that the A6400 is a great camera and the M50 is also a great camera for its price. I bought an M50 for street photography and it's surprisingly good for the price. I customised my buttons such that manual mode is a dream to use now and nearly every common setting has fast access. I'd love to play with the A6400 to test its AF. Going back to the M50, you really have to know it to get the most out of it. You need to know where AF tracking mode will excel and when to switch to zone AF or single-point AF or even small AF single-point too. Get to know these and you'll rarely ever misfocus a shot.

[@EbonySeraphim]

0:22 -- "To the other APS-C king, the M50" said no one who cares about their reputation in the industry. Fuji XT-20/30 and Sony-A6*** are the APS-C kings hands down. Everyone else is playing catch up or unsure if it's worth staying/entering the market. I appreciate the honesty in the review overall though and it was solid. I think in future reviews should be more pragmatic in a few ways. First, stop talking about rolling shutter as a comparison or test. All mirrorless cameras are bad at it. Until a camera does something substantially different (faster) while reading out the pixel data from the sensor, it'll be a reality. I'd just say "it's there, this camera is no better or worse than others out there so if you were expecting this to solve it, you'll be disappointed". Rolling shutter is also something most people don't notice unless they know what to look for while the camera is panning like a maniac. Most natural/real footage won't ever pan that fast while having the noticeable edges too. Second, a major element and feature of portrait photography is eye auto focus. Conveniently, (I hear) it is one of the substantially sub-par features in the M50 where it basically never finds the eye outside of close up and wide open eyes. Older Sony A6*** and Fuji XT cameras are great finding the eye even when the subject is at a distance. The A6400 improves on what was already great and gives you A7III/A9 like accuracy and speed for acquiring eyes and putting it in a $900 camera body, and adds behavior which knows how to gracefully fall back from eye, to face, to object tracking so you don't have to do much at all and have correct focus for continuous photo shooting. Color science I've realized is kind of a BS topic for comparison. For photography basic raw processing can/should be adjusting colors anyways. Video is tougher to correct colors, but if your standard workflow has to using a log color format with color grading later, then the colors out of camera doesn't really matter. Super casual videographers would care that colors out of camera with no work may look better to some folks, but if you're sensitive enough notice the difference between two solid colors, you should I realize this review focused entirely on the video capabilities of both cameras, so it would be fair to point out that both cameras are actually hybrid cameras which are supposed to be fairly solid in both video and photo capabilities. If you're going to cut it out, make mention of that. The M50 seems to be a better camera if you're on a tighter budget (or looking for better value) if you're sticking to 1080p vlogging (better setup with front facing flip screen not getting blocked by hot shoe mics). Outside of that, A6*** series tend to beats it in almost every other relevant way possible. Another area might be lens lineup if you already have and investment in Canon lenses, but if that's you, then you've been doing video or photography long enough to not need this kind of review to make a decision.

[@mukhtaralfuras3840]

EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW ] A6400 is much more better camera than A6300 & A6500 because: 1. No 30 minutes record limit: A6300 &A6500 will not get this update do the old tax issue, 2. No overheat (better image processor) like A6300/A6500, 3. Longer battery life 1 hour 30 minutes, 4. Image process from A9 = amazing fast AF better than A6300/A6500, 5. TIME LAPSE build in, 6. Full Flip Screen, 7. A6500 has got IBIS but in video in motion is very bad - you need gimbal and without it you get better price for A6400 $899 (A6400 + gimbal = a bit more than A6500 price), 8. New Hight Dynamic Range picture profile, 9. 2 New AF engines that are only in A6400 - old cameras don't have this (you need this new image processor), 10. Better build in microphone at the front - it offer very nice audio if you are not in wind area, 11. Support for higher iSO, 12. During recording screen doesn't dim. Summarizing: A6400 is better than A6300/A6500 in everthing 😊

I tried my best to watch this review unbiased (i recently bought the A6400), but to be honest the video quality throughout the entire test and all the modes was clearly superior on the A6400. Which makes sense, given that its new and its over 300 dollars more expensive than the M50. The high iso performance looked awesome, and overall 4K shots were stunning. Autofocus is a beast, i can confirm that.

[@michaeloeser]

I have an M50 as my backup cam and it´s great for the price. I paid 480 Euros where the Sony is 880 at Amazon (both excl. VAT). So you still compare two cameras that are not that close in terms of price. And of course an almost double priced camera should (and has) better features. On the other hand the Speedbooster at the M50 opens up a whole new world because I have a lot of EF glass (Don´t know if that´s available for the Sony as well). To cut a long story short: The Sony has the better specs but the Canon is almost half the price and does also a great job. Depends on what you need and willing to pay.

I like the A6400, it creates stunning images. However, the M50 is well under $1000, about $400 less expensive , is not a similar comparison. Perhaps, price wise, the A6400 is more closely compared to a GH5 or the M50 w/a speed booster? That would be a very interesting video. And because the flip screen on the A6400 is blocked by adding a Mic, it needs a cage. Which may not be a big deal, just noteworthy.

[@JetBen555]

No doubt the A6400 is way better than the M50 and well worth the extra money. The M50 was already obsolete when it came out in 2018, it was originally priced at 900$, same as the A6300 (a 2015 camera with better spec) but they had to cut the price (almost immediately) by about 35-40% to stay competitive. Not only that, but the lens selection for EF-M is terrible.

[@filip1491]

The EF-M selection of lenses is indeed a bad bank for the buck, but you could just buy an adapter and get access to all the EF-S lenses, in which case, you get access to lenses that are cheaper than the ones for Sony and feature reliable and silent STM motors. Besides, I think people that buy Canon are just different. We value reliability, longevity, colors that are spot on out of camera, a very forgiving codec and most of all - the user interface on Canon cameras is just better. There is a reason, why so many photographers choose Canon and that is the ease of use. So yeah, although the Sony is technically the better camera, I would still go with Canon.

Nice video! A lot of information there. The general purpose usable 4k/120fps and better high ISO noise performance would be good reasons for some people to go the Sony route. The M50 might have had a slightly better time in autofocus with an EF-M lens, but the adapter does tend to work pretty well (the only lens I've tried on mine so far is a EF 135mm f2.8 SF. So far it stopped focusing once, but cycling the power corrected that). On a side note, when I was testing out the 11-22mm vs the 22mm f2 lens I did notice that the M50 focuses a lot more consistently in 4k mode with the zoom lens rather than the 22mm f2.

So if someone wants to get a wide angle in the future, but one brand sells it for 200-300 and the other for 500+$, it makes a huge difference for a lot of people. If they just plan to stick to the kit lens, then comparing cameras alone makes sense.

[@jerryhasnolife9156]

Spicy comments, but I like the comparison. A lot of people seem to be caught up on the initial price of the cameras which has merit. The actual cost however adding all the gear used in this video however? It’s actually really similar. If I got to BH the M50 body has been stuck at $630 USD for months, the speed booster is $160 (2 month back order), and $450 for the Ef-s STM 18-135 (STM is a must for video). So in total if I was buying everything brand new at retail $1240~. The Sony a6400 w/ that 18-135 (both have same 3.5-5.6) is $1298. So for the US atm, the difference in total price of the kits being used is about $60. While it’s definitely easier to piece a kit together over time, and that does have a lot of merit to it (it’s what I do); the total price of this comparison is 100% fair imo if you’re basing it off each ones “sweet spot” for video at regular retail pricing.

Already have the m50, the sony got more vibrant colour on that vid test

[@thisiskenyoung]

If u use color profile on Sony, u should also use one for canon. That’s better for comparison

[@SivaJnana]

I really think I found a vlogging camera for myself! The Canon M50 thanks for sharing!

Shortly after buying my first digital camera(just for fun), I found myself rapidly shooting: Events, Food, Real Estate, Marking, Promotions, Video, even fiction and short films. I had no idea of how much I would grow as a content creator. I feel that if you are a creative person you will outgrow the M50 pretty soon. The Sony's in general, because they are so packed with features, are hard to outgrow. You even get an early exposure to log and advanced color profiles. In case you end up shooting hollywood ARRI and RED.

[@sithlordsoup]

I just broke my RX100V and since I still have my 7D with my lenses, id have to say I’m going back to the canon Fam starting with the m50

[@JimHrbek]

Im not a camera geek or anything, but I think all matters on what you want to get out of it. for what I want I will go with the m50, plus the price is just too good for that and the aftermarket canon lens prices. It would all be different if the a6400 screen was flipped sideways and a little bigger. Plus one thing you didn't really go over is Canon Camera Connect, I am in love with that app, as a solo vlogger. I am not sure how Sony's compares (I think it is called PlayMemories)

[@JoeyHoogendoorn]

Lens prices are definitely a big plus for Canon. If you want to buy a few more lenses the Canon generally comes out a lot cheaper.

[@zenfiretrading3848]

Yo buddy what gear are you using to shoot your talking scenes in the red sweater. Thats killer footage

[@juzzypham7421]

Thank you Kinotika! you are awesome and truth personnel youtuber b/c there are sooo many youtube maker talk about a6400, they all talk the same content. But you are the ONLY ONCE who is talking the HDMI OUTPUT. Thank you!. I want to buy this camera but there are no important or specification statement about HDMI Out. Finally, you are on top of everyone. Much appreciated for your time to do this Video.

[@anothermemory1349]

Before watching: I'm definitely buying the M50 During this video: 🥴🤯 for sure getting the A6400

[@jieunfilm]

Thank you for the video! The comparison looks so obvious and helpful! And I am going to get SONY a6400 now!

[@J.Smith-rc6wh]

just find the no flippy screen a deal breaker FOR ME and how I use a camera , flip up just puts it behind the mic and therefore useless , dunno why sony persist with this no flip screen nonsense . . .

[@DeepteshLovesTECH]

Sony A6400 has a flip screen.

[@sirwillemgaming9686]

I'm planning which one to buy. M50 Mii or Sony ZVE10/a6400 Better auto focus for me is a plus and this video gives me a better idea to buy which one. Thanks DAVE!

[@luiscastillo1287]

I will buy m50 soon! Gonna be my first camera 😂 hope I make a good choice !!

[@TheFedvin]

If I'm not mistaken, the M50 doesn't have a dial, so you can't adjust any of the settings like you would with a dslr. Some people critisize the sony alpha series for still sticking to one dial, whiile Fuji cameras have two, and yet the M50 does't even have 1!

[@brandonsanders7568]

I have an m50 and the lowlight is just not for me. Anything in photos above 200 iso has noticeable grain. The video is decent though, just want 120 FPS in 1080p, so the a6400 would be my choice as an m50 owner.

[@cooloox]

You need to learn to expose properly. ISO 200 is BS. I get relatively clean images at ISO 800, still relatively clean at ISO 1600, grain noticeable but not bad at ISO 3200 then a big jump to ISO 6400, but still usable. Too noisy at ISO 12800 except in rare circumstances. Here are 2 images, one at ISO 800 and one at ISO 3200 proving noise is not only usable up to ISO 200. Images are 100% crops to keep file size down: 1drv.ms/f/s!As2bMg5NOx76rJMacLueQOeCsTqsjw

[@cooloox]

One thing beginners probably don't know is what resolution they need to print images at common sizes, such as 12" x 8". That particular sized print at photo quality (300ppi) would need 3600px x 2400px. If you have a little grain in the original image, it will mostly vanish if you downsample your image to those dimensions and there will be no grain at all in the print. If you pixel peep then noise is visible at ISO 3200 on the most expensive DSLRs and mirrorless cameras. Don't expect too much from a camera, especially a cheap one!

[@cooloox]

Gee, the strawberry pic I just added to the folder I linked you to (in another post) must be a throw away image due to excessive noise then. OMG it was shot at ISO 1600 under a 5W LED desk lamp. Learn to use your camera before misinforming the public with very inaccurate information.

[@brandonsanders7568]

cooloox I simply said the lowlight is not for me. I do notice grain at 200 iso, I never said it was the end of the world, but it’s just a fact that some cameras are going to perform better in lowlight and the a6400 is one of those cameras. Also, the m50 is aimed at beginners. Not saying I’m a complete beginner, but you can always harp someone for “not knowing there camera enough”, while other tools will help them accomplish there goals easier. Why jump through hoops when you know which one is better for you and your workflow. Plus lack of 120 frames is honestly a deal breaker, and the native lenses for the m50 are just not what I’m looking for. I respect your opinion, and thanks for the info on pixel peeping and exposure. I’m just a hobbyist and the m50 just isn’t for me. I’m glad you’re enjoying it though! I’ve definitely taken some good images on it.

[@brandonsanders7568]

cooloox also great images man! Love the cat pictures. 🙏

[@hausgaming]

Do you think there is a difference in image quality on Sony A5100 & the EOS M50? I record sound with an external mic on my PC and sync it in POST, so I don't necessarily need the 3.5mm audio jack on camera. You guys have some awesome videos.

[@sooovann8908]

Great video comparison between two very appealing APS-C cameras on the market, thanks !

[@noobsingerhimal6747]

A6400 is incomparable. It focus within 0.02 sec which is really nice. It fires everything 🔥

[@mattgonzalez]

The quality is pretty similar until you realize the M50 is doing a lot of the tests at a lower quality. For me it’s no question the extra money is worth it. Great comparison

[@ThePerfectGift]

Not just extra money, it's a lot of money right there

[@ishanikataria7391]

Hi, I really enjoy your camera reviews. I was wondering what camera you would recommend for all around videos. I have been looking at the Canon M50 mark ii, Canon 200d mark ii and a few others. Thanks

Hey Kinotika! Great comparission video! Still got one more question: how does it look like with the battery life?

[@connormccaskill]

Interestingly enough the battery life has improved with the Sony quite a bit compared to the older models. I would say that the Sony actually has better battery life than the Canon

[@mavfan1]

Kinotika not what he was looking for I think!

[@tan334]

Can’t decide what to get

[@LORDVADER357]

M50 Portrait color. Thats the color pattern i like. HLG of the Sony is also good but i prefer the portrait pattern by the canon.

[@markattardo]

The low light test....substantial difference! I have an M50 and always hate bumping up the ISO for pics, I ASSuMEd it was an aps c thing😳 It's probably a good thing I haven't gone crazy with lenses yet.

Great comparison. I was searching for Canon RP vs a6400 but this is sufficient. I wouldn’t mind getting an m50 but, given a choice, I’d take the a6400. Only $350 difference with the kit lenses.

you can use speedboosters on sony aps-c and sony rx1 is the smallest full frame camera

well. i understand the sony can actually do 4k with no crop. but it's not really a fair comparison when i'm trying to see what the image looks like at 4k. and you used a custom profile on the sony.

[@HarrisonFamilyValues]

I think the reason why the a6400 didn't focus is that it picked up the woman behind you, but when it did pick you up her head was turned so your face was the only one identifiable in the shot. 🤷‍♂️

[@GODSouljaseven]

The A6400 is better but it is also $400 more. With those $400 you can buy a speed booster and some other accessories for the Cannon to make it more competitive.
