Sony a6400 vs Fuji X-T30 | WHICH IS BETTER FOR YOU?

[@EmilianoLoconsolo]

Man, you're the best reviewer on the tube... It must take you so much labour to put it all together with such detail! Kudos...

[@TechGearTalk]

Oh wow, thanks Emiliano. Yes, it takes me a long time and a lot of work to put these together, which is why I don't publish as much as I want to. I'm glad the they are helpful and appreciate the support!

[@Clodrock]

Picked up an X-T30 with all accessories but no box or manual for $480 with only 10 shots. What a great photography tool.

[@Crusader1089]

I have mentioned before how relaxing I find your voice. You talk slowly, but purposefully, and that really makes the difference. So many youtubers umm and uh and stutter and go back on themselves but you just talk calmly to the point in your own pace and I love it.

[@JorgeOmarGonzalez]

This review/comparison was top notch. I am getting into photography and I even had purchased the Sony Xperia 1 ii and was planning on getting a Sony camera to stay in the ecosystem. Having said that, you brought up two things that are important to me, the quality of the image and the availability of alternate glass. Being a beginner and not having much knowledge in post touchups I need all the help I can get. So the X-T30 is the one for me. Thank you very much.

[@chadwickthezulu]

Thank you so much for this comparison! I've been agonizing for months over which of these to pick. If I look at it purely objectively, the a6400 ticks more boxes for me, especially in video. But I keep coming back to the XT-30 because I have a slight preference for the Fuji color science and I think the silver top color scheme is so pretty it gets me excited to take the camera out and shoot. As a beginner, that might be a big factor for me. I think I'll rent them before making a final decision.

[@TechGearTalk]

You're very welcome. Makes sense to me about either renting or going to a store and trying both. Thanks for being part of the channel!

[@chadwickthezulu]

@@TechGearTalk I actually ended up getting the XT-3 since it's now only $100 more than the 30. Score! Unfortunately I couldn't use your affiliate links because they were out of stock on both sites and didn't want to wait 2-8 weeks, but I'll be sure to use them for lenses because your channel has been a huge help and I'd like to pay it back a little.

[@azure3429]

Awesome, in-depth review ! I've been really scouring google articles, websites, KZbin, Reddit, even instagram to see what mirrorless cameras I should consider (March, 2020) and i really think this video reassured me that my choice to save up for an X-T30 was the right one. Thanks again for the awesome video! I'll be checking out the individual reviews as well.

[@TechGearTalk]

I'm really glad that you found this video and that it was helpful. I absolutely love the X-T30 and am excited to hear what you think if you get it. Let me know what you think of the individual videos as well.

[@techgat3keeper879]

I've been watching too much "TECH GEAR TALK" videos for the past few days that I don't know what camera to buy anymore. Lolz...

[@SimplyBravo]

Excellent video! I did this exact comparison about a month ago and went for the a6400 as it has some weather sealing. Also I like the auto focusing a bit more as it works so well while taking pictures of my kids. Both are excellent cameras but the weather sealing just gives me a bit more peace of mind when I'm out shooting.

[@TechGearTalk]

That makes sense to me. That's a real differentiator. I'm surprised that Fujifilm doesn't at least say "weather resistant"

[@SimplyBravo]

@@TechGearTalk I presume that it would boost the price of the Fuji a bit. Weather sealing (specifically full weather sealing) is mostly found on high end cameras as I found out while deciding what would be right for me :( ). That is why I was pleasantly surprised to see the a6400 has a some weather sealing which made the decision a lot easier!

[@TechGearTalk]

good point

[@wades623]

I'm not up on cameras a whole lot but the Sony would probably be better because of the no time limit recording

[@orelgimi520]

I’m a complete newbie with anything regarding cameras and i love your videos, you explain everything so clearly making a complete dummy like me understand everything :D , you also helped me a lot with deciding what camera to buy as my first i chose the sony 6400 because it’s slightly more compact and seems more ergonomic and because of the the video/selfie advantages (most important not having a limit on video recording) and also that it has a flip screen! thanks a lot! keep making these awesome videos!

[@TechGearTalk]

I’m super glad that the videos are helpful. Congrats on picking a camera and thanks for joining the community.

Should’ve went Fuji! Jk, how do you like it? Are you still with Sony? I went with the 6100, but recently got a Fuji x100f and I LOVE my Fuji! Been thinking of getting a xt2,3, or xt20,30.

[@TravelDigitalNomad]

This would be great! I am currently looking for a new camera and can not decide between the a6400 and the fuji x-s10. The AF is better on the Sony, while the X-S10 has the IBIS - a pretty hard decision.

Hey, Segi. Great review man. I couldn't decide which one to buy. I want to get into the Sony ecosystem, with the goal being buying the a7riv for landscape photography and events. However I love fuji and simulations. I think I'll just get both. Great content man, please keep it coming. Hope the family is well.

[@TechGearTalk]

You just solved the age-old questions of "what's better" with a simple "I'll get both" Since that's the case, I could really use a Sigma 150-600 Contemporary for EF mount 😂🤣 Seriously though, these are great cameras and I'm curious about your thoughts so swing by and let me know when you get them. Appreciate you checking in on the family - we are doing well - thank you. Hope you and your loved ones are healthy and safe. Sagi.

[@michelbehr]

Hands down best comparison - and I think I watched almost all YT videos comparing these cameras. Thanks for the great work - especially the strengths summary at the end. I already bought the A6400, for photo and vlogging, waiting to be delivered today or tomorrow, but I’m still unsure if I made the right purchase: I like the more intuitive interface of Fuji, color science, better lens (I guess...?) and the fact that they pay more attention to firmware improvements; on the other hand Sony offers vertical-flip screen, no rec time limit, no heating issues, and slightly better AF. I’m a bit inclined towards Fuji because for someone that is just starting in photography like me the more intuitive interface seems to be important - but at the same time I do plan to use it for long videos. Questions: 1) Could you show us the option of recording on Fuji using external device? I didn’t get it, you connect a USB drive to the camera...? (If that’s the case it would be a perfect workaround for me, because for long videos I’ll always be in-house) 2) I’d love a comparison side by side of both cameras, same stills and videos - because my impression is that the photos you took with the Fuji are more beautiful, maybe because you were more “inspired” by the equip? :-) 3) Any tips, ideas, suggestions to help me with my dilemma? For now my plan is to just use the A6400 for a few months and see what happens, but I’m really considering the Fuji “system”

[@davidcurro1099]

Thanks for a great in-depth review. It's funny that in 2021, looking at a 2019 review still has huge relevance. I want to replace my travel compact camera and am not rushing in to do so. A small, entry to mid level mirrorless camera, like the ones you have reviewed here, may well be a better option that going Canon G5x Mk II or the Sony RX100 VII. Sure there is the interchangeable lens issue, but a kit lens (16-50 or 18-55) will still do the job cost effectively, with possibly a better camera. So thanks a lot. I am a Canon user, but looking at Sony or Fuji, instead of the EOS M50 Mk II, is certainly worth thinking about. Lastly, would you place the Nikon Z50 in the mix when comparing with Sony and Fuji?? Or would it take 3rd place overall? Thanks again.

[@lillynana1]

Please make the image quality comparison, it will really help me decide which one to buy for Christmas!

[@TechGearTalk]

Let me see what I can do about it. What would you use it for?

[@lillynana1]

@@TechGearTalkthank you so much for your reply! I do mostly portraits, travel and street. (I don't do videos, animals, sports or landscapes). I'm an amateur but still pretty serious about my hobby. I'm upgrading from Nikon D3300 because I need better performance in low light, and in general better image quality, sharpness and dynamic range. But I still need something portable, compact, with a built-in flash and viewfinder because I hate carrying around lots of stuff when I travel. Affordable native lenses, usb charging and weather sealing are also very welcomed features. But the most important things for me are: PORTABILITY (light, compact) and IMAGE QUALITY especially in low light. I'm currently trying to decide between FUJI XT30, SONY A6400 and NIKON Z50. Thank you so much for your help!

[@TechGearTalk]

I'll have the Z50 soon so I will be able to give you some insight. I would go with the X-T30 (of the ones you mentioned). I love the Fuji color, it's a pleasure to shoot stills with, there are affordable AND SMALL fast primes. If you ever want weather proofing, you can upgrade to the X-T3.

[@lillynana1]

@@TechGearTalk ok, I'll wait for your Z50 review before I buy then. Thank you!

Ok, it may be at least a month (I like to use the cameras for a while before reviewing them).

[@Konrad162]

If you want to be frustrated at some point with AF and image quality go with xt30. If not go to a6400

[@flameousart]

Great review man, i subscribed to your channel mounth ago! I wanted to buy this week a6400, but just saw your video and now you made it harder for me too decide. I read most of the comments and really appreciate your effort you put in, the only thing i would like to know and didnt find the answer anywhere is which camera is easier to control. I like the manual control buttons on Fuji, i guess is much easier to control iso, shutter, focus when you are video recording and make fast changes! What do you think? What i look in the camera is to make videos with cinematic look, what lens would you suggest for that cinematic look and what gimbal would you suggest me. My budget is somewhere around good 2000 dollars!

[@TechGearTalk]

Hi there and welcome to the channel. Once you learn about how the Fuji controls work, you'll be good to go. I think the Sony is easier to control because the buttons and dials are a little more intuitive right off the bat. If you need unlimited recording -> sony. If you need to power the camera via usb -> sony. For the first lens, I always recommend you start with: kzbin.info/www/bejne/sF7bXpdjgJ59nNk Hope that helps!

[@JSJ1978]

[@TechGearTalk]

🤣😂 super appreciate the kind words and you being part of the channel.

[@electrichimp]

I would say the sony + sigma combo ends up being significantly more appealing is you're looking for bang for the buck. Fuji's better video quality, controls, and film simulations are really REALLY tempting... But the fuji system is pretty locked down to fuji lenses, which are awesome but twice or three times the price to the also awesome sigmas.

[@TechGearTalk]

The Sigma lenses are definitely a great option. I think there are still low-cost options from Fuji, but I'm waiting for Sigma to make the 16,30,56 1.4 in an X-mount!!!

[@electrichimp]

Tech Gear Talk from what i’ve seen in b&h, not really a lot of third party options for fuji x mount that are fast and offer electronic controls, if sigma went to x mount it would be a done deal. Again, this is talking about bang for the buck... because Fuji certainly has awesome quality lenses, just too closely priced to full frame lenses imo... Which for me defeat one of the two mayor reasons for going aps-c (price, the other being size)

[@TechGearTalk]

I totally get that - makes a lot of sense. Super appreciate you sharing your insight!

[@vwxyz24]

Not anymore, with the Sigma x mounts out..

Good review sir. As professional videographer, which one will you recommend for me? Or should I rather go for X-T3, for I love 4k at 60p?

[@paranormalskeptic3893]

Getting the Sony A6400. I’m more interested in video and the no time limit for 4K/30 is great. The Fuji has a time limit of 10 minutes at 4K/30.

[@megatazman5129]

I am currently contemplating between below camera, Usage: 90%travelling(cinematic video) 20% wedding/events close up shots. 1. Sony A6400 2. Fujifilm Xt30 3. Fujiflim Xt20 - kit lenses and 55-230mm XT30 is the most expensive between these 3, Im interested in Sony as well but the varieties of lens can be bit expensive if im not mistaken for Sony rather than fuji lens and for XT20 is the cheapest and you get that extra lense but i’m not sure if it stills relevant for 2020. If i may ask for your thoughts for this, that would be great sir! 🙏🏻

[@TechGearTalk]

I would get the X-T30 - it is an amazing camera and you will not regret it. There are a lot of fast primes available, and it's small and portable. Also, Eterna color profile is fantastic. Just start with the kit lens 18-55mm It will be plenty for what you will need most of the time. Hope this was helpful.

Amazing video. Very thorough and well detailed. I DO have a question.. I'm investing in a camera that will mostly be used to capture video clips in low-light; mostly street photography and nature; nothing too focus oriented. I REALLY love the low-light capabilities of the Fujifilm, but the flip screen from the Sony is enticing. It's hard for me to rationalize the flip screen over the Fujifilm as a whole package.... but imagining the ease of use is killin me T_T

Awesome review! I’m currently deciding between these two and can’t really pick. I’m only shooting stills on my Nikon D5100 and no specific type really, I enjoy shooting landscapes to portraits. I’m considering getting a XT30 kit with both a XC 15-45 and 50-230mm lens included or just go with the 18-55mm XF Lens. I’m also kind of partial to the design of the Fuji. I also want to use this camera for years before I replace it, so the potential of lens upgrade for a reasonable cost is important. What are your thoughts?

[@TechGearTalk]

I would get the X-T30 for what you're describing. It's such an impressive camera. I honestly can't see you being disappointed with any aspect of it - especially because you like the design.

Tech Gear Talk regarding the cannon m6 mark 2, I’ve read that the 4K video quality isn’t that great compared to the Fuji and Sony. However in your video, the quality looks decent. What are your thoughts on that? Also how bad is the rolling shutter on the a6400? I’ve read a few people complaining about it

[@TechGearTalk]

The M6MKII isn't "as good" as the Fuji or Sony, but it's plenty good for what I use it for (I'm not shooting the next starwars here). I normally look at overall user experience once I get beyond an acceptable level of quality. Does that make sense? As far as rolling shutter - I don't really fling my camera in fast pans, so it's never really been an issue for me.

I didnt expect that Fuji is so good. I want to buy a camera as a beginner mostly for photos and sometimes videos. I lean mostly towards Sony and lately also Fuji but it can be another brand too. I have some options: Sony a6400 , Fuji XT30 , Fuji XT20 For me important: + to take photos from fast objects/animals/sport + to have more options to find better/more affordable lenses + ease of use + touch screen for focussing + better app/connection to smartphone + to have 4k ( not so important, can be with 10 minutes limit ) Which of these cameras do you recommend? Or do you have another recommendation?

@@TechGearTalk Hi, this is my second day with my sony a6400 with the 16-50mm kit lens. I must say that I’m very beginner with little knowledge. I set the camera up with a setup guide from a youtuber. It’s totaly fine. I compared it to my smartphone Pixel 3 and these are my thoughts about a6400 with 16-50. You may notice that Im beginner and use 16-50mm kit lens. Maybe can I help anyone that want to buy a camera as a beginner. Pros: + a little bit sharper photo with good light conditions + better/ more realistic colors + better for fast objects ( cars, children, animals etc. ) Cons: - the sharpness is not enough to say much better then Pixel 3 - night photos are not even close to the night sight of Pixel 3 My conclusion: • for now there is only one reason for me as advantage from camera against smartphone and it is to be able to take photos from fast objects • for me there is no reason to buy any camera if you dont want to learn about photography or dont have enough time. ( I think ) you should be ready to buy extra lenses to maximize your results. Another thing you should consider is photo editing , which costs money and time. Yes, photography is an expensive hobby but I would test the camera for now with kit lenses and with free editing softwares. Maybe it’s better to have a compact camera like RX100 VII instead as beginner. For now Im not sure what should I do :)

[@TechGearTalk]

Good feedback. I agree, if you're not going to learn about photography - a phone is good enough. The phone is doing all the work for you (but it is restricted by a much smaller sensor). You could take excellent night photos with your camera (with the correct settings) but again, that requires understanding exposure. The phone (once again) does computational photography so it's a completely different process.

[@rohanraja1323]

Thank you for your videos. They are very well organized - your professionalism is very inspiring. I'm on a hunt to purchase a camera and your suggestion would be highly valuable to me. One fundamental question - what is the difference between say a budget camera like Canon M50 and a highly expensive camera like Canon 5D? Is it that the expensive cameras have better sensors? If so, why are they better and expensive - are these sensors very hard to manufacture or use expensive raw materials? Thanks

All of these are great cameras and I’m torn.I like to do many different types of photography, and I’m planning on buying a camera for the long run that I can use to eventually start a business. I’d like to buy a cheap camera, but the value for the money matters more. What camera would you recommend? Thank you

Although all are good options, the X-T30 is my favorite camera of those 4 for photography. I love the user experience and the fuji color. Spend the money on lenses - they make all the difference!

Extremely informative video, thank you for the great content. Small note, in minute 9:33, I think that camera being shown is not the A6400, most probably editing mishap. Thanks again!

[@TechGearTalk]

Glad it was helpful! Yup, grabbed the wrong clip 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@bananakong6307]

My objective is record enterviews, but people say 4K is not really necessary, full hd is ok. What do you recommend in my case, Sony or Fujifilm?

[@anubratapradhan2685]

Great video you made. Helped me a lot to understand both camera systems. My heart longs for the X T30. But I want to move to full frame from APS C in future. So is there any issue if I buy Sony full frame lenses and use those on Alpha 6400? Don't know if this is a foolish question.. I'm a very beginner. Thanks.

[@TechGearTalk]

You can definitely do that and then upgrade the body in the future!

[@marcebarajas]

I bougth the xt30 man it’s a beast 😀

[@drummerbishwanth]

Great review. Just ordered Sony alpha 6400 in Amazon prime day in India. Waiting for it. Hope I have made a good choice for recording my drum videos in my studio for KZbin. 🙂

[@TechGearTalk]

Thank you and CONGRATS!!!

[@dhirajgawande007]

At what price?

[@RamonFlores-so8oh]

What would you recommend as an upgrade for video from a d3500 with kit lenses? Would a better lens help ?

[@jimijouk]

Hi ! Great video thanks ! But at min 9:34, you’re showing a Sony A7...that’s nothing bad but I find myself checking the video of reviewer speaking amazing how their camera are but they’re shooting with high priced lens or showing another model or something else...that makes us newbies lost but anyway your videos are most of the time the best in the youtube galaxy, thank you for your detailed videos, also you did mention zinc alloy body for the Sony but nothing for the Fujifilm...also dust resistant for Sony but nothing about the fuji...the xt-30 seems to be better quality material but as usual I end up with tiny unanswered questions that turns my thoughts and I don’t know which to buy at the end...sorry. Thank you for your videos, stay safe

[@moddingguy7933]

Were the photos you posted taken with the stock lens kit? or have you used for both of the best performing lenses that you already had? Thanks 😄

[@lucibermel]

Great video, one more question!! I heard there were some issues with macroblocking using fLog on the Fuji, and some issues with autofocusing when shooting sLog on the Sony. Is that true?

[@mr.edgequilin6780]

Hello. As a beginner with the A6400, what starter lens would you recommend to use? Thank you and great video.

[@YoukklauTube]

Very detail comparison video with a lot of wonderful photos. Actually I am targeting to buy fuji but at the end of 2019, Nikon introduced Z50 that make me on hold my purchase. Hope you can have a comparison on fuji and nikon in the near future. Thank again for this great video!

[@TechGearTalk]

Hi there. I just got a Z50, so you'll see a review within a month, and then a comparison.

[@mitchelerenberg5206]

Great video. so I shoot mostly landscape photography , which camera is best for scenic shots and handles low light during morning and evening best? . Or do u recommend another?

[@saifaldin_]

The Sony has a slight advantage in terms of retaining details in the shadows compared to the Fuji. Also, some weather sealing might be beneficial for outdoor shooting. If you don’t need fast & accurate AF (like in landscape) these 2 are very close actually. It comes down to what lens pairings you’re planning to go with, as well as personal preference in terms of handling, interface etc.

[@Abiwick]

Thnx fr reply every commets😳❤️

[@TechGearTalk]

I do as much as possible.

[@stantheman3674]

Amazing video as always Sagi! Hoping you are able to do a review on the new Sony 16-55 2.8 lens. I am wondering if I should buy the Sigma 1.4 trio (16mm, 30mm, 56mm) or just this G Masters lens

[@TechGearTalk]

Thanks Stan! I’ll do my best. If you don’t want the 1.4, might be nice to have just one lens

[@stantheman3674]

@@TechGearTalk Also, are you sure the a6400 has a BSI sensor? or did I hear that wrong? I thought the Sony apsc didnt have bsi but fuji apsc did (i could be wrong)

[@TechGearTalk]

According to DXO Mark - I have not confirmed with Sony.

[@stantheman3674]

@@TechGearTalk Gotcha! I saw the one DXO review article that mentioned it but I think they mixed it up with ff sony cameras because lot of other sources said this camera didn't have BSI (which explains slightly better low light performance on X-t30.. www.digitaltrends.com/photography/fujifilm-x-t30-vs-sony-a6400/ mirrorlesscomparison.com/preview/sony-a6400-vs-a7iii/ www.markgaler.com/sony-a6400-interesting-developments It doesnt matter too much as they both do great in low light still but I remember this being a point of criticism on the sony a6400 in some reviews, as I remember people wondering why sony produces bsi apsc sensors to give to fuji but doesnt apply it to their own apsc lineup.

[@TechGearTalk]

Good input!

[@mayasharpe815]

Hi! I'm thinking of going into photography at university, which camera would you recommend?...I am leaning towards the Fuji due to the colours but do love Sony's full frame cameras Love your vids!!

[@TechGearTalk]

I would go and use both cameras in a store. See which feels better.

[@matteodf98]

Would it make sense to move from a Nikon D3200 to a Fujifilm X-T30 or X-T200? I like photography and like to try also some complex shots with low light or high exposures and the Nikon can't keep up anymore.

[@LawrenceLivingstone]

Helloo! Amazing review! Thank you very much! Just a question, maybe you can answer, is there some differences between OSS and OIS? wich one do you prefere betwee the two? Thank you if you answer to me!!!

[@TechGearTalk]

Thank you for the kind words. There isn't a difference that I found significant. That is not a deciding factor for me when I'm selecting one of these over the other. Which camera did you like better?

[@LawrenceLivingstone]

@@TechGearTalk No worries, it's one of the most complete reviews I've seen :)! The Fuji looks like amazing and I love its colors and its quality, but I think I'll buy the a6400 that seems it has a really close quality, because I use the camera for travel videos and for vlog ad I need that the camera can resist better to rainy conditions, (and for vlogs autofocus and flip out screen are super important)... Thank you for your help by the way, greeting from Italy! :)

[@TechGearTalk]

That decision-making process makes a lot of sense to me. Good luck with the a6400! Let me know how it works out.

[@LawrenceLivingstone]

@@TechGearTalk Sure! Thank you!! I can't wait to try it! :)

[@TechGearTalk]

It's going to be fun!

[@moksh9400]

Excellent video as always, which of these cameras have more native and third party lens options, also cheaper lens range.

[@TechGearTalk]

The Sony has "more". Fuji lenses are cheaper than Sony lenses, but sony third party are cheaper than fuji native.

[@chinjoo17]

Which is a better buy for beginner vloggers requiring to take great pictures. Between Sony A6400 & Fujifilm XT200 when the latter is cheaper by about USD 250.?

[@Ladbrokelads]

Trying to decide between the two, here is what I need: Novice level, using for travel, landscapes, family pics, portrait shots and of course my dog:-). I travel to Scotland frequently, so there tends to be a good amount of rain and mist? Video not my main concern but will do some…time limit is not an issue. I will do some photo editing in LR, but I'm hoping for the best AF and point and shoot. Which camera would best suit my needs between these two and which (lower cost) lenses should I purchase? Thank you!

[@TechGearTalk]

I prefer the images right out of the X-T30 better than those of the a6400. As far as lenses, here is what I recommend for a first lens: kzbin.info/www/bejne/sF7bXpdjgJ59nNk (in your case the 18-55 2.8-4)

[@vasukumar15]

Fuji T-3 vs sony a6400 please. Sir your videos are very good I'm just stuck between these two.

[@TechGearTalk]

if I wanted unlimited recording - a6400. Otherwise - X-T3

[@ravenbushcraftadventures]

Hey really like this channel. I have a small you tube channel and I'm looking to upgrade to a mirrorless camera from just using a go pro. I would be taking mostly landscape picture and video and feel like color science and the ability to handle cold and moister has much has possible would be the most important to me. Wondering if you have any suggestions?

[@jimmychavedo8038]

I have learned a great deal from your videos. Thank you. I’m looking for the best mirrorless or dslr for around $1200 (body only) to record my nieces. One is a gymnast and the other does local community theater. I will be purchasing a 70-200mm f2.8 lens for whatever body I choose as well. I’m looking for eye autofocus that functions in 4k. Some have suggested Sony a6600 (I’m a little concerned about the rolling shutter) others have suggested Canon M6 Mark ii (some have said eye autofocus doesn’t work in 4k) Any help would be appreciated.

[@katiri991]

I take pictures for work of dogs running around and wrestling. Everything happens fast with them. Which camera do you recommend for this? Sounds like the a6400?

[@migflc778]

Getting my very first camera soon and there are the two cameras I'm torn between. I've been doing my homework and research for over 2 months and these hit the spot for me. I'm torn between deals. I can get the Sony + 16-50 kit for 930 euro And the Fuji + 18-55 kit for 1270 Someone has advised me to get Fuji over Sony because the lenses are overall great quality and cheaper than Sony, so I don't know what to do. What's your opinion?

[@ManlyHK1]

I am not into colour grading stuff for movies so is the Fuji Film mode the answer to my needs if I want to create “cinematic “ feel?

[@SixFingerPerson]

As a6400 doesn't have ibis so which lens would be best for stabilisation in video recording

[@TechGearTalk]

Any lens with OSS will help. There are other factors involved (focal length, maximum constant aperture, etc.) and if you really want stable footage I recommend using a gimbal.

[@SixFingerPerson]

And for photography?

[@TechGearTalk]

Same questions as before (but of course no gimbal).

[@SixFingerPerson]

@@TechGearTalk thanks for your response brother

[@tjkrueger2655]

If you want a fully fleshed out, pro-level, native aps-c lens selection to work with, any recent Fuji camera is your best choice. If you're buying decent Sony glass, it's probably the full frame versions, and really... how many people are honestly mounting them on their a6xxx bodies? Just buy an a7 variant if you're using more than a kit lens.

[@TechGearTalk]

I think that Fuji is so underrated

[@denisea3465]

Ok so I am having a TERRIBLE time trying to figure out which camera to buy, coming from a Nikon D3100. My choices currently are Sony a6400, Fuji X-T30, Canon M50, and Nikon Z 50. I take photos mostly of my wiggly kids and pets, but also venture out for nature/landscape photos occasionally, plus everyday happenings, of course. Good at low/poor light is vital. Videos are fun but aren't my priority. Some of these are a bit over my budget but if they are worth the difference in price, I am willing (prefer about 600 but willing to go up to 900 if it is worth it). If you have any helpful advice, I would be extremely grateful! Your videos are the BEST on youtube! Thank you!

[@TechGearTalk]

Hi. Quick question: is 6-900 your total budget? What about lenses (which will play the most major roll in low-light performance)

[@denisea3465]

@@TechGearTalk Thank you for your reply! I could shell out a bit more for a decent lens, but taking it over $1000 would really hurt. Obviously a $900 camera plus a $300+ lens would likely be a no-go, unless it was REALLY worth it. Thank you again!

[@TechGearTalk]

Well, in that case, you have to make a choice - which will probably come down to losing low-light performance. You will need a fast lens for that which will be expensive.

[@TechGearTalk]

I would then get the M50 with the kit lens. Once you use it, figure out what focal length you want for your next lens and but a fast lens. kzbin.info/www/bejne/sF7bXpdjgJ59nNk

[@denisea3465]

@@TechGearTalk I totally understand. I know the lenses are super expensive. I could get the camera now and save for a new lens next. If I were to go that route, would you have a recommendation for which camera? I know you are working on a review of the Nikon Z 50. I am leaning a bit that way since i already have a couple of decent lenses for my Nikon dslr that I could get an adapter for? Maybe even a Nikon D5600? Oy vey, lol. But I am very drawn to the good things I have heard about the Sony a6400, and I love the colors and smoothness of the Canon photos (800D) I have seen. Do you have a preference or suggestion? I am so appreciative of your taking the time to answer our questions, not to mention the reviews and videos you make. Can't say it enough, but yours are simply the very best. Thank you so much!

Hey can you please compare Fujifilm XT30 and Panasonic G90/95? Also I would like know the sports or action photography using both of them. Looks forward to your response

[@BROSRIKANTH]

Hi bro which is best budget f1:8 prime lense for my sony a6400?

[@TechGearTalk]

Hi. That depends on what you're shooting. Most people go with the 50mm. The 85 is also good if you're ok with the longer focal length. If you need something wider, the 20mm is really nice. There is also a 35mm with is close to a 50mm on full frame. Then you have to choose whether you want to pay extra for OSS. Hope that helps.
