Sony A6400 vs Canon RP Which Should You Get?

[@TechGearTalk]

⭐️ Best price for the Sony a6400: geni.us/sony-a6400body (affiliate) ⭐️ Best price for the Canon RP: geni.us/canon-rp (affiliate) What's up everyone?! I hope this comparison of the Sony A6400 and the Canon EOS RP with sample footage and images is helpful. Do you think the RP is worth the extra $? Or would you go with the a6400? Would love to know what you think, good or bad. I am grateful in advance 🙏

[@jasonubrown]

I'm writing this before I watch the video but (as a video user) I don't see how the RP can keep up. I'm curios though as I watch to see what you find!!

[@TechGearTalk]

Thanks for watching Jason. A few questions. What did you think after watching? What are you shooting with now (please start a new comment or I won't be notified).

[@maxvain]

Hi TGT or anyone, please help me understand. On APS-C I understand how you have to calculate the crop factor into the focal length and aperture ratings. And I understand how this will affect perceptual mega pixels as opposed to FF. My question is when the EOS RP crops when in 4K video. I understand on the EOS RP it will affect focal length, but does it also affect aperture like in APS-C cameras?

[@roberthodgdon2445]

Wow! So my wife is brand new to the world of photography and equipment. So new in fact, I am currently doing research to buy her first camera and gear setup. First, where do you store all this information?! Super impressive and I appreciate your time and effort of providing these thorough reviews. Based on all your reviews, I am leaning Sony A6400. 1. Would you have a better suggestion? Mainly buying to capture memories of the kids, take high quality photos for our portrait wall, capture video memories, and every now and then capture some beautiful landscapes. 2. How does the Sony photo editing software compare to other manufacturers? (Ease of use, capabilities, compatibility with other formats or software/printing agencies, etc) Thank you again for putting your review together!!!

U provide great insight of cameras.. just one suggestion, while telling specifications u can also put up the writings (of specifications) on screen so that people can read it along while listening to you.. rest awesome.. keep doing good work.. best of luck

[@TechGearTalk]

That's a good idea Gideon. Do you think each spec? (like a list) or just while I show it?

[@LotsOfTrade]

Yes like list.. in the video u were verbally telling specs.. so while telling this, simultaneously on screen u can show the list of specs.. that would b great

[@markshirley01]

The RP with the 35mm RF is a great lightweight FF combo. I think the digital IS is handy as well - plus I find it much easier to hold a FF camera steady for video as opposed to a cropped sensor.

[@TechGearTalk]

That super valuable input Mark - thank you so much for contributing to the community! I like the "feel" of a larger camera as well. I actually like the RP size, even better than my a7iii size.

I have 2 D750 at the moment that I use for social media hybrid work. I suppose I've got so used to using them. The only reason I was considered the Z6 was for continuing AF in video, but now I'm wondering how much Id actually use that technique.

[@TechGearTalk]

That makes sense. It's so hard to switch once you're using to something. I was at a Panasonic even a week ago, and it was the first time I picked up a Panasonic camera, I felt like I didn't know how to use a camera.

Why you ended using RP more if you like more the a6400? P.D: What lenses do you mostly use on the RP and a6400?

[@TEKDAD]

The only problem of the 6400 is getting wide FOV unfortunately like any crop sensor. It’s kind of important for a lot of youtubers. It’s kind of impossible to get wide and blurred on crop sensors.

[@TechGearTalk]

Interesting. Every video I've made in the past 3 years was shot on a crop sensor. I've never felt that it's a limiting factor. Of course I understand the FF could offer a shallower DOF but with the proper lenses and technique - a crop sensor has worked well for me. Even with inexpensive lenses like: kzbin.info/www/bejne/q4C1hWSam8qGZq8 thought?

[@onlysublime]

Full frame is full frame. There are looks on the full frame that can't be replicated on an APS-C sensor no matter how good that cropped sensor is. As a photography camera, the RP is great. I wouldn't get it for video (because of how it doesn't have DPAF in 4K). I have the EOS R and love it so much for both photography and video. My secondary camera is the 6D2 and the RP wasn't enough of a change to consider switching my secondary.

[@TechGearTalk]

I really liked the R. A lot of people gave it a really tough time when it first came out and I'm not sure why. I address that in my first impressions video of the EOS R. I can totally see not upgrading from the 6D2 (another great camera) to the RP. Do you use RF lenses or adapter EF?

[@onlysublime]

I'm strictly using the control ring EF adapter with EF and EF-S lenses. Such a nice ability to use both EF and EF-S lenses. The 10-18 mm EF-S has image stabilization and all EF-S lenses are budget friendly. The control ring is amazing, and I can't imagine not having the control ring anymore. I haven't purchased any RF lenses yet because they're so expensive. I did try them out and they're beautiful. But out of budget for now. My next lenses are 70-200 (which will be RF), a 35 mm 1.4 (which will hopefully be RF), and a macro lens (mostly likely the 100 mm EF one). I do want to get the ND filter adapter as well. However, it's disappointing to know that I will be losing the control ring when using the ND filter adapter. The other disappointment is knowing that the ND filter adapter doesn't come with a clear filter so the idea of having to swap adapters is pretty bad.

[@TechGearTalk]

Sounds like you've put a lot of thought into this - I like it!

[@LordArioh]

@@onlysublime the downside that ND adapter doesn't work with RF glass, if by any chance ND filter was built in, that would be a game changer.

[@KDHildreth]

"Full frame is full frame" Your comment which is completely true is also a little misleading as obviously there is a point where a Full Frame camera will be able to get a shallower DOF that the APS-C cannot match unless you can find a lens with a super small f-stop but in general if you calculate the crop factor you can get the same image, both field of view and DOF in a APS-C camera. i.e. FF 75mm @ f2.8 produces the the same image as APS-C (1.5x crop) 50mm @ f1.8 - you would also have different ISO settings to match exposure.

Sold RP + 35mm after 1 day and bought a6400 because of AF, image detail and zoom on MF. Feel like fullframe sensor on RP is not working as expected. I see much aliasing on zoom in and not sharp and not detail ( compared with a7ii )

[@spandsbab]

Fast forward to Jul 2020 here in Canada, bodies only are $1204.67 A6400 vs EOS RP $1199.99. For photography on budget, EOS RP. For videos, the A6400 might be better at least spec wise (can't tell as I have the RP). Body/handling + menu interface made me go for the RP plus ease of use right away

[@Ridgerunner_802]

[@vidthreenorth4007]

Using the version 2 firmware on the a6400, there is also a simple time-lapse in the S&Q mode, but it is limited to a 1 fps record to a 1080p result file. The advantage is that it is, well, simple. The more advanced method of recording individual frames and creating the more varied files externally is still available. I would have preferred a direct to 4K time-lapse, and I would also like a 1.5 second interval (which I have not seen on any camera, but then again I have not looked at "all of them"), but at least "it's something. . . ."

[@TechnikMeister2]

The Canon RP just killed off the APS-C sensor market over $1200. Once you try FF for photography, you will never go back. It really only leaves APS-C for vlogging and Fuji and Panasonic are stitching up that market because KZbin is about to limit file sizes for upload. $K just got too fat. The game now is 1080p/120fps.

[@fengyuyin4856]

Great review! Considering the updates and the price drop of the Canon eos RP, would you recommend the Canon over the Sony a6400? For photography and video.

[@TechGearTalk]

Depends on what you need. I like the 120fps in the a6400 and the lower-cost lens options (sigma f/1.4 line). But the RP is also a nice way to get into a FF camera.

[@strongnerd4638]

You can also go with a Sony A7II which can be found at a great price. I picked one up for $700 w a kit lens (brand new) during all the holiday sales and get an A6400 for video while sharing full frame lenses for both since the Emount works for both FF and APS-C

good day Sir, i do not know if you remember me but you helped me buy my first camera; the sl2 back in 2019 and now i am looking to buy another one but this time i am thinking the RP or the R. You did not let me down the last time and you did not now so thank you for the video and i will let you know when i buy my RP

[@nicholasnakaya2799]

With the new firmware update, which one would you prefer? In the past week I’ve been leaning towards the RP but recently I’ve been seeing a lot of great photos from the a6400 since I mainly take photos (with a little video). I do like the canon R results as well as the a7iii but those are wayyy too expensive for me so it came down to these two lol

[@TechGearTalk]

If you're only doing photos, you may be able to get by with the a6100, same image quality: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pZrQZ6lor6mEg5I What do you think?

[@nicholasnakaya2799]

Tech Gear Talk I’ve been leaning towards Sony but the color science and the fact that it’s a little too small of a body with a lot of buttons holds me back a bit. My budget is 1000-1200 and as of right now the RP is back up to 1200 I believe which bums me out, should I save up to buy one of the higher end Sony’s or canons?

[@TechGearTalk]

Only spend more if you need the features kzbin.info/www/bejne/iqOklmuOlr6qrbs

Comparing to to the current a6600, which one would u recommend for photography and videography

[@majidtorabzadeh8030]

Hi. I want to buy a camera for dental photography (intra-oral), based on my budget finally i have to choose between these two options 1. Sony a6400 with FE 90mm f/2.8 Macro G OSS lens, 2. Canon EOS RP with Canon EF 100mm f/2.8L Macro (Obviously using an adaptor), which one is your recommendation? Thanks for your help.

[@a2zconference]

Thank you so much for the brilliant presentation and excellent teaching ability. My question is: Would the weather protection be a game changer in favor of the sony a6400?

[@dman6517]

wow.... just amazing.... every single minute is informative👍

[@TravelDigitalNomad]

Just bought the a6400 over the canon rp, because of wildlife photography (focal length). Thank you for your tips!

[@sahindavidoff3098]

how is a6400 handles videography?

[@TravelDigitalNomad]

@@sahindavidoff3098 videography is superb. Of course you need the right lenses (with stabilisation). If you don‘t like to work with tripots, you‘d be better adviced with the sony a6600, which has IBIS - just for a better performance without a tripot. Rolling shutter is there, but no factor for wildlife in my eyes.

[@sahindavidoff3098]

@@TravelDigitalNomad but 6600 is a little bit expensive😂

[@JustLearning]

Always enjoy your reviews. They are clear and informative. The review is not 3 year old but still worth watching. I use my RP with the EF-EFS adapter so that I can use my Canon DSLR lenses. I did purchase the 24-195 kit lens and the 16mm lens. When using EFS lenses I get a vignette but if i use the crop setting in the RP it goes away. The one critique I have of the video is when you and many others use the profile shot and do not look at the camera! I have heard that it is to avoid viewer fatique. But in my view it is rude and I call it the rude profile. I think it is rude because if me and you were talking you would not look away. I know, it is some kind of filming technique but that does not make it right. I would presume a really progressive videographer would include a shoot of the back of the head! Why not? Aside from that vent, good video.

[@shahrinshahriar4836]

I bought Sony a 6400 after saw your review do you think Sony a 6400 is better than canon RP for video?

[@Ajithkumar-jg3xy]

Which one your desired to buy?

[@beatmixer0097]

Curious why this comparison wasn’t the Sony a7c vs the RP being both FF sensors (unless the 7c wasn’t available at time of recording). How is an APSC vs FF sensor any type of fair comparison? Kinda weird

[@timbollen1569]

What's the best camera to buy for traveling? I want to travel to see wild life, nature and city's. I am a beginner photographer and care about good picture quality. Video quality isnt that much important to me. Budget is max 1000 euros with a kit lens.

[@TechGearTalk]

If you're only doing photography, the a6400 is a good option, so is the fuji x-t30 (review coming soon), Nikon d5600, Canon M50 or SL2

[@terrylstarks]

[@ZedsDeadOK]

Good video but a bit like comparing oranges to apples? apsc v FF? if I wanted a apsc I'd go Sony or Fuji If I wanted a entry level FF I'd go with the RP. However the glass options are better for the Sony line up.

[@sahananair]

Great video! Is the RP better for landscape /outdoor photography compared to Sony? Does crop sensor work well for outdoor photography?

[@RemplacementTV]

full frame is wider so may be better for landscape

[@Lunar.e120]

I’m going to take a lot more photos but want to be able to vlog or shoot b-roll if we go on a trip, and I don’t know which to choose. A lot more photos of, nature, street, and automotive. And have good video capabilities when I need them

[@LongCaoOfficial]

I really appreciated your videos, very informative and helpful. But I have do disagree 1 thing. You said A6400 will perfome better in low light than RP. No way. Crop APSC sensors have never been better in low light than a full frame sensor, no matter how good the software is or how good noise reduction algorithm is. Yes, it can denoise so good, but lost a lot of details, when we zoom in, The clearer image look clean but plastic and lifeless, and we can not call this "better". Thank you ;)

[@TechGearTalk]

Thank you for the kind words 🙏🏻. I’m curious, are you saying that no aps-c sensor isn’t better than any FF sensor ever?

[@LongCaoOfficial]

Tech Gear Talk thank you. Some old ff sensor like the Canon 5D was not very good and maybe could be beaten by some new gen apsc. But in the same or close generations, I think no Apsc could be better than a ff in term of iso. I have test low light capability of the A6500 vs the old Canon 6D and the 6D easy blow a6500 out of water in term of keeping details at high iso, at least 1,5 stops better. Yes, the newer apsc could be better in a lot of terms, but not at high iso. Because this is what full frame was born for. ;)

[@TechGearTalk]

I'm glad I followed up. Thank you again for all the support and for taking the time to share your insight!

[@MikAdventures]

Are there cons for the RP not having a built in flash? I’m deciding between these 2 cameras and coming from a Nikon d5100- which had a built in flash.

[@TechGearTalk]

I look at it as a function of how much you actually use that flash. For me, when I need light, it's always off-camera, so it's not a big deal. But this is really because of how I use the camera. Thoughts?

[@OCD.Reader]

its was a really helpful video. I was edging towards the rp but now I think I will go for the a6400. just 1 question, I am really into landscape photography and I was wondering whether the full frame of the rp would have made a big difference in terms of image details?

[@TechGearTalk]

Hi there. I wouldn't worry about the FF of the RP. You can get amazing landspace photos with the a6400. Check out the sigma 16mm. I used it in this video with the a6100 (same sensor) kzbin.info/www/bejne/pZrQZ6lor6mEg5I

In 2024 if you had $1000 to spend and you wanted the best camera for landscape and portrait photography, what would you choose? I could care less about video. I'm looking at the Canon RP, but I wonder if there is something better?

@@TechGearTalk thank you so much for taking the time to reply to each comment. do you have a photgraphy course we can purchase to support you?

It's pretty clear a6400 wins this one. If Sony a74 offers the following: full articulating touch screen, no recording limit, audio jack, dual card slot, better IBIS, 10 bit color, better color, I would upgrade to full frame this year.

[@TechGearTalk]

That would be a beast!

[@georgepistikoudis]

Great comparison video. You are saying that the a6400 ha better low light performance, so that would mean that it is the better choice for Milky Way shooting?
