The Best Sony Camera for Street Photography

[@Mr19hannes84]

Finally a good and calm video on the subject. I hate the typical youtube videos of some tech nerd jumping around all nervous and showing how great their equipment is. This video is very different and really well done. Thanks for that. Good job.

[@xhynetuseinovski]

Thanks man I really do appreciate it! If you got something out of it feel free to share it with people you know. Thanks again 🙏🏻

[@Akagami753]

Agreed 100%

There's a 27mm f2.8 from TTartisam which is very good for street photography as well, also the 20mm f2.8 from Sony is awesome.

[@brentbrown51]

I have the Sony 20mm f/2.8 on my a6000. Sweet.

great setup!

I found your video, after 2 years of telling everyone I had the perfect combo for street photo. Lightweight, cheap, and good performing. I bought both pieces 2nd hand under 500€. You explain it perfectly. Congrats.

Great video! The introduction is exactly how I felt when looking for my first camera. This video is straight to the point and you provided some great alternatives.

They really are. Sony is so underestimated. My latest video is proof that Sony can be just as good in terms of color.

I love the editing. I was never bored beautifully filmed.

[@happy_l2usher783]

Im a full frame user. With that being said, i think its not the gear u use, i would say you can get away with alot of things with good comp, and creativity with the gear you have. Great Job brother keep it up!

[@xhynetuseinovski]

APSC has gotten really good. I think youre right though. The viewer will not care at all what focal length or camera. Does the photo move them? That’s what matters. I think full frame comes with a big cost too. If I can get 95% of the look from a full frame on an APSC i think thats a win.

[@OnlyCitrus]

OM EM5 iii is the best street camera imo with the M43 lenses being do tiny, no would bat an eye. Also the TTartisan 27mm 2.8 pancake lens is a great EDC lens.

[@xMychal]

I just use my Sony A6300 with the kit lens it came with. Sure I'm probably missing out on stuff with other lenses but the convienience of how small the camera is combined with the lens makes it so easy for me to carry around anywhere. I've even managed to sneak it into a few events where cameras with interchangable lenses weren't allowed in lol

Great video man. I use the a6400 and a sigma 30 1.4 for my street work. The A6400 checks off most boxes im looking for. Its only gear snobs that huph at it. I try to focus on the art more than the brand.

@@xhynetuseinovski Just curious if you've tried the Samyang 18 2.8 on the a6400? I was thinking about going with it for the 27mm crop factor but can't find much info on with apsc. I would love to see a video about it if you ever decided to get one or already have one.

Can you share the settings for that style of photos? I love the colors

[@xhynetuseinovski]

so i have a video showing how to edit sony photos to look like film. thats obviously free to watch. but the actual color grading portion of it which ive spent an absurd amount of time on are presets that i have on my website. 🙏🏻

[@pixaetas2040]

Great video. Sony a6400 is a great hybrid camera. I bought a6400 with 16-50 kit for travel and daily carry. Then bought Sigma 56mm for portrait and then viltrox 23mm for street. Thought viltrox 23mm doesn’t allow me to keep the camera in my pocket but your suggested lens would allow it. Still looking forward to sony’s next apsc lens . It would be great if they make a sony 23mm f/2 in pancake size.

[@xhynetuseinovski]

The wide angle lenses they just came out with are actually pretty nice but like you said if they just updated their older pancake lens and made it 35mm FF equiv I’d buy it right away. I’ll always keep my a6400 but im really looking forward to seeing what the new A7C ii will offer.

[@Drumaier]

yes for example canon has the amazing apsc pancake 22mm f/2.0 lens for M mount and just for that small and fast lens I'm considering getting a canon m200 or m50 and not a 6100. Such a shame Sony hasn't a small and fast lens. the 35mm f1.8 oss would be close enough but is not that small.

[@jaymills1720]

Lovely. How about a compact lens option for a7c2😊

[@roninthegoat2810]

The Sony small G lenses or samyang 35 1.8 or tamrons „small“ 24 2.8 or the Zeiss 35 2.8 with the Sony one giving the best on overall everything.

[@Mockingmob]

I've been using the Sony a1 for street photography for about a year now. It's the best street photography camera IMO, and that's all down to the silent 20fps lossless compression raw with no rolling shutter. That gives me top concealment while capturing all the actions.

[@xhynetuseinovski]

Hey man thanks for checking out the video. I would have to agree with you in the sense that everyone has a specific void they are trying to fill when it comes to street photography. That is a spectacular camera, but extremely niche. Props though for getting one. I’m sure it’s great. Have a great day!

[@grizzlyrunfast]

Bet your shit is over edited and annoying to look at.

[@vatinomk5]

I honestly was looking at an A-1 I just dont know if I want to spend that much. It may be worth. I want to get back to photography so I am looking at multiple videos and stumbled across here. Any suggestions

[@jackdarren9210]

I have the a6500 and it has been around the world and back with me and works great.

[@xhynetuseinovski]

Great cam as well!

[@olegiakovlev8102]

Nice chill video. Interesting to watch. I'm thinking of going for a5100 tho as for the street cam option, because it is smaller in size

[@francisfrankenne9020]

Hi, I Could NOT AGREE MORE WITH YOU ON THE SONY A6XXX as a top street photography camera. A couple of years ago, I owned a Nex 6 and loved it for its compactness, ergonomy, handling and its rangefinder-like viewfinder. After that came several Fuji , with significant improvements in IQ. But none gave me the same shooting experience as the nex6, by far. Then, pushed by a significant decrease of its price, I bought a SONY A6300, because it has exactly the same form factor and ergonomy as the nex6, but with a much, much higher IQ. Like you, I got a Samyang 24mmf2.8 and, since then, enjoy again street photography with that lightweight, unobtrusive and discrete combo. As you say, it is an perfect tool to do that. However, affected by the "I want something even better" syndrome, I have just acquired the Samyang 24f1.8, somehow longer and heavier than the f2.8, but really sharper and also weather sealed. Even with the resulting loss of compactness, the gain in optical performance brought by the Samy 1.8 makes for me the ultimate street camera, which I have to confirm on the long term. In the meantime, I will preciously keep my Samy 2.8!

[@xhynetuseinovski]

Dude I didn't even know the Nex6 existed. Does the 1.8 feel less plastic-y or is made of the same materials?

[@francisfrankenne9020]

@@xhynetuseinovski Actually, before the a6000, Sony released two vf nex: the 6, 16mio pixels, and the 7, 24mio pixels and more professional., I didn't jump on the a6000 when it poped up because the viewfinder was of a much lower quality than the nex6 one. To me, the Samy 24f1.8, has a very similar aspect than the 2.8.the question is: are the Samyang lenses reliable enough? I would say yes for 99 % of users. If I were to go to an expedition in the Kamshankat, I would rather choose more rugged lenses. That said, I own 3 f1. 8 Samy lenses and they really deliver great pictures at a fraction of the price of other brands.

[@NAYNO]

is the 24 1.8 samyang a bigger and less portable compared to the sigma 30 1.4?

[@xhynetuseinovski]

I think its smaller and lighter than the sigma.

[@francisfrankenne9020]

@@xhynetuseinovski These samyang lenses improve significantly at each generation at all levels: optical performances (according to many reviewers, see Dustin Abbot videos), build quality (weather sealing, mount ring now made from stainless steel, previously from aluminium) and features (multi-purpose button and switch). Add to that a 5 year garantie ( in EU at least) and a much competitive price. To me, it's a no brainer case fro an amateur to get a set of quality glasses at a price which is a fraction of the "big" Brand offer. Strangely enough, many reviewers tend to ignore more or less the Samyang lenses.

[@maxsmarvin]

Nobody ever mentions the built in flash either... for me that seals the deal. Between the flash and the size/weight I think it's a better street camera than the a7c. I'm rocking the 35mm samyang and love it.

[@angelsjoker8190]

Yeah, I've always wondered why they got rid of the flash after the a6500. Having it was one of the reaons I got that one (used) over the newer a6400 or a6600. It's pretty neat to have it for indoor indirect flashing. I don't need a flash very often, so I don't want to carry a clunky extra flash with me all the times, in particular when traveling and trying to keep the weight down, so having it built in for just in case is a big plus even if it's not super powerful.

[@sDuAvTaTjAe]

Try the ttartisan 27mm if you're fond of the 40mm fov. It's so compact, sometimes i forget it's even on there

[@xhynetuseinovski]

for sure bro

Got some film type shoots on that camera after editing ofc, amazing. Also appreciate around 1 min 30 secs, I know that must have taken a while to piece together

[@xhynetuseinovski]

thanks bro. yeah this video took like a solid week to make 🙏🏻

[@-grey]

I have the $1k point and shoot. It's the perfect camera for me and the fastest in operation I have ever used, but I would recommend 90% of people go for something like the a6700. The Ricoh is super specialised and you have to know what you are giving up to get better niche performance. I personally wouldn't want to lose the amazing UX design and shooting modes, but if you haven't experienced that and don't know what you're missing: 100% just go for the awesome specs of the Sony. It will get you what you need with ease, and is wayyyy more versatile. ✌️

[@xhynetuseinovski]

The ricoh is cool honestly. I’d love it for a low frills weekend camera.

[@one901]

I stopped using my a6400 mainly because I didn’t have a small lens and I got a Fuji x100f. You’ve made me want to give my Sony another try. The Fuji af is so not good lol. Any exposure tips?

[@xhynetuseinovski]

Bro I was about to buy a fuji and just couldn’t do it knowing how the AF was. Getting this lens has made travel and any other situation requiring a compact setup perfect. I would give it a try! Either this lens or the 35mm depending on what your favorite focal length is between the two.

[@bennieferinga9609]

The Samyang 35mm f2.8 is as small and a lot sharper than the 24mm. Great little lens! But that would give a focal length of 52mm on an aps-s camera, which I like more than the 35mm field of view.

Solid video, I will be ordering that lens for street photography. It's funny because yesterday I was just thinking about buying another camera (Fuji XT3, or XT30 II) & just using my a6400 for filmmaking. But I had to ask my self, can you afford to spend another 1k on a camera? Color science, & the film stimulations was my main reason. But your video proved I just need to step up my editing skills.

[@xhynetuseinovski]

Yeah and if you need to see more examples, there is about 50 photos in my last video about the cinebloom filter all taken with the samyang + cinebloom 10%. They came out super nice. I think I’ll switch to fuji when they start putting more emphasis on specs (better AF, etc.) Almost bought the xe-3 but when i held it i was shocked how light and non-premium it felt. almost like a toy. nonetheless im interested to see what will come after the 100v because that’s probably the only one i would consider buying.

If talking about budget options don't forget the NEX7 and NEX6 which have an even better bigger EVF than then A6000, just an older AF and processor. Also the original A7 can be found for not much more. I know it's more bulky but I've been using mine with the Samyang 35/2.8 and it's great!

Although I also take more kit with me sometimes, like the 35 f1.8 on the a6400 or even the Zeiss 55 on the A7R 2, the first combo always comes along in a pocket (no strap) and shot from the waist with the screen out.

I have both lenses. The Sony produces slightly better colors. It also has a hair better sharpness in the center. But the corners are slightly softer with a very light, vignette. I typically edit my photos to look like film after shooting slightly and the Sony produces much better results for that. It may be an older lens now, but I believe people slept on it, because the 16mm was so bad. If you look at comparisons, people always said the 20 mm was much better. I’m going to make a video on it and compare it to my Fujifilm x100. I still take the a6000 with the 20 mm Sony pancake lens over the Fujifilm. Also, you can find them on eBay for half that price.

Oh, and why there are not many videos/people discuss such a huge weakenss! Thank you for discussing about using Sony for street photos. Finally I find a solution

[@xhynetuseinovski]

a really is a good solution and its sad to see so many for sale.

[@wordofthestreet1386]

Can i put the sigma lens on A6300 and will it work perfectly for street photography like the A6400?

[@xhynetuseinovski]

Yes it will work exactly the same.

[@mattdicx]

Is the sony a6400 still worth it in 2023?

[@xhynetuseinovski]

Should I make that video? lol. The easy answer to that is yes, because sony has yet to come out with an updated APSC camera but there is talks that they will next year. For that reason it is still one of the best street camera from sony.

[@chesslover8829]

I just bought one new. So, yes.

[@christophersanchez735]

What camera strap are you using?

[@xhynetuseinovski]

Hey bro. It’s the peak design leash. Made a video on that one too. Check it.

[@ChristianElia]

really great video. i’m primarily a video guy and upgraded to the A7s iii from the a6500 over a year ago and the a6500 mostly collects dust now. i’ve always been interested in an X100 series camera for every day slice of life photography also. i’ve been super conflicted. i have the funds for the X100V but it’s still tough to justify when the a6500 can do nearly everything (and some things better) than the fuji, plus being able to swap lenses when needed. i hadn’t really thought about throwing a pancake lens on it and using it for stuff like this til now which is funny. i do think there’s something to be said for the form factor and feel of the X100V. the sony isn’t a very inspiring camera for me to use personally… but is it worth $1300? not sure lol. i may just pick up a compact lens and stick with what i got. great food for thought!

[@xhynetuseinovski]

I’ve always looked at it the most simplistic way possible, especially for street photography i.e. many years ago the greatest photographers were inspired by the art itself, not the cam not the lens. Film stock was film stock. Getting out and shooting was the spark to ignite the flame. Fujis marketing point is simply color stocks and aesthetic look/feel. Sony kills it in almost every other category. But what Id say is at the end of the day whatever gets you out to shoot is what matters and if its gear than thats fine. Get out there with whatever cam suits you and capture the world beautifully. I’d get one of these smaller samyangs though and it will definitely make you fall in love with the a6500 again. I have with mine and it has been a wonderful experience. Thanks for the thoughtful comment my friend 🙏🏻

[@Chillgaming_1]

what about zve10 and 7artisans 35mm lens f1.4 , i am thinking about this setup will this work ? anyone ?

[@lindsaythompson1670]

Much prefer the wee Sony 16-50 kit lens on my a6300

[@SneakyCaleb]

You should check the Sony 20mm 2.8 pancake lens

[@HuyNguyen-qu1oh]

Great video bro, I would say this is think out side the box. Sony really tick all the box and plus it is super cheap compare to fuji hype right now.

[@xhynetuseinovski]

appreciate that man. sony is not the hottest looking camera but i’ve never once cared if it looked retro or not. i want my images to come out good because that’s what matters at the end.

[@christianl.5945]

Nice video! Good camera! I have this camera too. You've had a subscription for a while and you like it anyway.

[@xhynetuseinovski]

Thanks christian! What lenses do you have?

[@christianl.5945]

@@xhynetuseinovski I have the following lenses: Sony 18-105 F4, Sony 70-350, Sony 16-50 Kit and Sony 35 1.8. The Samyang lens is very well. The Samyang lens is very good. I think I'll buy them too.

[@Xer0.Visual5]

For very Small go Sony RX100 iii or later.. very good camera! Or lumix GX9 or with to much money go Rx1 II / Q2 haha

[@xhynetuseinovski]

Good choices

[@canvas6st]

This video was awful! My current walkaround/street photography setup is a pairing of my old backup a6400 and a Samyang 24mm I bought for astrophotography. I was researching options to upgrade that setup only to be told it was a great kit!! Now how am I supposed to spend irresponsibly?!? 😆 Seriously though, I think this may be exactly what I needed to hear. Thanks for the excellent video! For now, I’ll keep on with my current setup rather than ogling prettier Fuji or Leica cameras or even the A7c lineup.

[@josebrivera1716]

Why didn’t you take the same exact photo with the two different lens?

[@willgreig8912]

Great video, GR 3 had it, miserable AF, 100v have miserable AF.

[@joseignaciocancinovergara318]

Ttartisan 27mm f2.8 is much smaller

The Sony HX50V is Great for Street Photography.

sony rx1r ii

[@xhynetuseinovski]

yes

[@danielw.3888]

Like this one so much. Still worth buying? Or wait for a successor hopefully this year?

[@xhynetuseinovski]

have you seen the price of it new? that much for old tech is a waste bro. just wait for new or get the a7cii or x100vi

[@danielw.3888]

@@xhynetuseinovskiyeah…I did see that f…ing price 😠 so wait for it. Hope Sony will bring it to the market this summer 🙏🍀🙏

[@xhynetuseinovski]

@@danielw.3888 hopefully it comes out and they give it a bit of vintage flare. id highly consider.

[@chloescanlon1107]

Would be perfect if it wasn’t for that damn flippy, flappy rear screen.

[@xhynetuseinovski]

I prefer it to the side swivel screen like the A7iv, but again that’s all personal preference.

Im good with my iphone! 😊

Im getting tired of having to bring big cameras, and id like to start taking pictures of myself rather than other ppl so ty for thiss💕

You should look at getting the A6300 then.

Or just get the olympus pen ep5 for a lot less money

Hello bro which lenses good for street photography I’m using Sony a5000 Please help

[@olegiakovlev8102]

Now that looks insincere after i saw your latest videos promoting fuji which you are jocking about in this video 😢

[@Mn-xh9ps]

👍

[@xhynetuseinovski]

Thank you!

[@ling2186]

I get away with so much with my a6100 with a 56mm f1.7 the lens isn't huge and it looks more like a 'tourist' point and shoot than a professional camera. People just assume you are taking photos of the surrounding area and not them.

[@Natahsz]

sony 20mm f2.8 is pancake

[@xhynetuseinovski]

i love pancakes!

[@qenreblayers5331]

Another hipster dude shoot photos.

[@eyeshowyou]

Not sharp at all....

[@xhynetuseinovski]

it’s actually quite sharp. i just made some large prints of photos taken with this lens and they came out very detailed.

[@policeluber6720]

The sensor sucks

[@xhynetuseinovski]

👍🏻

[@Old-School-Liberal]

Sony & street photography don’t mix

[@xhynetuseinovski]

it’s doable. you just have to have a strong will. lol
