Sony A6400 VS Sony A7SII! What Happens When the Past and Future Collide!

[@eddievoltage2306]

The a6400 is a game changer for me. I'm coming from a GH5 and the autofocus is 10 times much better than the GH5. I use my Zhiyun Crane V2 and let the camera do all the autofocus. I no longer have to worry if my camera is in focus. You're last review made me switch over and don't regret one bit of it. I picked up the a6400 body with the Sigma 16mm 1.4F and Sony 55-210mm lens. Love this setup.

[@BrianHallmond]

I was gonna get the 6500 mainly because IBS. But now I'm considering the 6400! I've had canons. Totally switching for video.

[@professionalpotato4764]

Do you miss the video codecs of the GH5?

[@eddievoltage2306]

Professional Potato I do. The colors on the GH5 are much better than the Sony. With the Sony I have to color correct it myself more.

[@hirostvjapan]

I came from G85 to a6400. This AF is just so good I can't go back to G85. But G85 Panasonic make the best IBIS. I miss that for sure.

[@tombuck]

I remember when the A7SII first came out, the low light performance seemed like flat out witchcraft.

[@TheEverydayDad]

I gotta be honest, to this day it’s still kinda witchcraft 🤣

[@TJuice1986]

I’m a huge fan of my Sony a6400 paired with the Sigma 16mm 1.4. A lot of people don’t like it because lack of ibis. I just use a smallrig cage with a wood handle attachment and it stabilizes my shot very well!

[@PhotoGearFun]

I agree a6400 is the camera of the year so far. I am using mine a ton for photos and video. I do more photo than video work so the lack of IBIS doesn't matter much with an OSS lens attached. Another great video my friend

[@TheEverydayDad]

It really is, it’s not the flashiest camera of the year but darn it it’s by far one of my favorites 👍

[@SideshowBob44]

I use the Zeiss 24mm 1.8 on mine without OSS and you don't really notice. I don't think Sony stabilisation is actually that great.

[@STANTHEMOTOMAN]

[@TheQKrew]

Been using the a6400 for weddings/ music videos. Coming from the A7Si, it’s been more than perfect for what we need it for.

[@TheEverydayDad]

Yeah it’s an absolutely fantastic camera that I enjoy using very much 😁👍

[@duveral]

Hi! I'm thinking of buying one for wedding videos, question: How is the battery? How many extra batteries do you use? Thanks!

[@TheQKrew]

@@duveral started off with 4 batteries. The battery drain is crazy fast on camera, so the batteries are on constant rotation on a portable charger connected to a Powerbank throughout the day. It’s annoying, but possible. I’ve since bought a used A7iii to use as main camera, with the A6400 as a b-camera.

[@duveral]

@@TheQKrew Oh that was my concern, thank you for sharing your workflow, very useful to make a decision!

[@TheQKrew]

@@duveral not a problem. Best of luck!

[@rodneysean]

thanks man I was going to sell my A6400 to get A7SII so you've helped me big time !

[@RealTechnoPanda]

Put IBIS in a6400 and you have got a perfect camera. Else put a decent Electronic Stabilization. If GoPro 7 Black and DJI Osmo action can produce gimbal like videos, why cant Sony?

[@BrianHallmond]

$$$$

[@idrisie6720]

Basically sony a6600

[@FatCat4X4]

Hi Dad! What was the picture profile/setting on the A7sII? I thought it looked really great! The A6400 hits all your KZbin points but man, that image from the A7sII was killer! A lot DP's work really hard just to get an image like that...

[@SuperMarioDrumming]

Late to the party, but he said he was using PP1 on both cameras. I think the biggest difference was that he was over exposing on the a6400, which made it look a bit harsher

[@joec.1030]

When Sony blesses their cameras with menus/functionality on par with Panasonic, I’d consider one. Great channel BTW!👍🏻

[@TheEverydayDad]

That would be awesome! Or if Panasonic did Sony autofocus 😁👍

[@joec.1030]

The Everyday Dad Yep!

[@DirtyTesla]

Damn you passed 100k congrats! I was hoping the a6400 would be on sale for Black Friday...but turns out the a7ii is the same price as the a6400...

[@ttv_phalanx]

Dirty Tesla a7ii auto focus sucks

[@DirtyTesla]

@@ttv_phalanx I still haven't bought anything. May go a6600. Or a6100

[@Carolyne_games]

I just got the a6400, and your videos this year definitely helped me make up my mind. With the 16-50 kit or a pancake lens, this thing is COMPACT! Photos are usable even with the kit and videos looking great so far, really loving it.

[@Carolyne_games]

One thing I’d like to add is that I got the AT9912 mic from Audio Technica to go with the camera. This thing is so tiny and attaches to the mic jack itself without using the shoe mount, so no fixes or workarounds or whatever needed

[@jakepollen6839]

I’m liking these camera comparisons always in the back yard wearing the same hat for consistency

[@MoroccanAnwar]

GREAT VIDEO. Its nice to see you came to the same conclusion and choice i made after i made so much research and these 2 cameras were the best for me

[@eloreneloreneloreneloreneloren]

I used A7S II, A6300 and A6000. I loved how A7S II felt like a heavy professional instrument. IBIS and fullframe ahh I love it. But autofocus is not reliable at all... And most of the time you don't need ISO 1600 or higher. A7S II means enjoyment, A6400 means flawless work.

[@petrolpoodle]

I love the addition of 'figuratively' to prefix 'smash these together' 😂. Fantastic video as always

[@trippingtheroad_liaandkevin]

Very useful video! Thanks!

[@michaellaserre1624]

Can't wait for the Rx100 vii video comparing it with the a6400. Trying to figure out which one I will buy.

[@MattieCooper10000]

I want the Sony A6400!!!!! Thanks!💖💖💖

[@TheEverydayDad]

It’s fantastic I highly recommend it 👍

[@Konstantin_Chernetsov]

Thank You. Good video.

[@쉽게풀어보는수학이론]

a7sii used to be a great camera....but for stills, it isn't good than the a6400. Besides, its price point is pretty high. So, if you aren't going to shoot videos in extreme low light, I think the answer is a6400 or a7III

[@MegaWoodswalker]

Still waiting to see what Sony does for updates with the A6500 and A7III.

[@markshirley01]

Black background blur on the A7SII tho. Let's face it - if your going to buy Sony get the A73 especially if you film behind the camera as I imagine most people do.

[@markattardo]

I had to restart and put this on my better monitor to check what I was seeing. As impressive as the A7sII is, it looked like it was showing it's age or smaller sensor. The 6400 seemed a lot sharper. I guess it could also be a settings tweak.🤷‍♂️ I also found when you were outside, it made for a nice blurry background comparison. I preferred less blur, which I was not expecting. In studio the 6400 was brighter, did you notice how much difference there was in your camera settings? Awesome comparison!

[@Rangermoses]

They are both great cameras for starting KZbinRs 🤨

[@aodoemela]

Ik you are saying they are the same price but I can now get a A7SII in the used marked for about £100 less than the A6400. How does this change the decision?

[@PSKSJ]

Nobody: Everyday Dad: THE SONY A6400 IS ONE OF THE BEST CAMERA

[@bfjoutdoors]

Hey You HIT 100K!!!!

[@xherd003ssjudemv]

I get anxiety just by seeing the exposed a7sii in the thumbnail

[@Vincentchiaino]

Which one is better for filming music videos?

[@SideshowBob44]

I have the a6400 with the 35mm 1.8 and the Zeiss 24mm 1.8... such nice image quality and its so small compared to a DSLR.

[@darthcanuck552]

Great video as always. Question for you; getting my first camera for vlogging/KZbin. I'm torn between the DJI Osmos and the M50. What would you suggest?

[@TheEverydayDad]

I’d recommend the m50. It’s a more traditional camera and is much easier to use.

[@darthcanuck552]

@@TheEverydayDad thank you! Appreciate it. Keep up the great content!

[@artemisasimetra]

Great video! I like your explanations! I am a subscriber. For the first time Sony is one of my options to buy a new camera. I really like the colors of your video. Thank you!

[@linhnguyenba5418]

how did you do with the audio. I think the audio is great too. which one do you use ?

[@REYCO_]

I get a6400 and I am very happy with this camera you can see the 4K resolution in all pictures but I want full frame camera

[@bigshotmedia]

Hey Ive had my a6400 for 2 days. It is a little over welming for my first camera. What lense should I get for shooting video of my son. Do all the lens have stabilization? Looking at the 50mm. Thanks for all your videos

[@AndyLifeInVideo]

Oh man, I want an a6400 so bad!! But I'm waiting for the price to go down, so maybe in a year. But for now, I'm gonna save my pennies for the Canon m50!

[@n0name]

Does the blur of the focus depend on the lens? Cause the 7ii is more blurry

[@SaberrMaui]

I'm late but just wanted to say I really like transitions between the topics.👍👍

[@joeyay1350]

Hey, awesome video as always! Can you do a comparison video between the a6400 vs Rx 100 Mark VII? Thanks!

[@akanbilincoln3891]

Thank God. Now you are talking, Sony a6400 is the beast camera out there right now, even, I prefer it to Panasonic gh5.

Waiting for the compare between the a6400 and the new rx100 vii. Yeah I know 2 different cameras point and shoot vs interchangeable lens mirrorless. But I do hiking vlogs. Need lightweight, but something with zoom. Right now I use my dslr for stills and gopro for vlogging. Thus carrying 2 cameras and having to put on down while using the other.

[@ricden93]

Which would be better for photography?

[@bautistap8515]

A come from an A7 iii, looking for a cheaper option... Will the lack of ibis make a huge difference? Also looking into Nikon Z6(main option actually)

[@wayne_right]

I just bought a used A7Sii for $640. I cant even find an A6400 on eBay for that much. Most people buy full frame cameras specifically for a reason. For instance unique depth of field and exceptional low light performance. There is a certain look that you can get with FF. There is no APSC equivalent to the look that an f/1.8 prime lens gets on a full frame camera. No features on an APSC camera can replace that for me personally. Certainly not a flippy screen and slightly faster AF. To me a lot of APSC shots look like iPhone pics. Everything in focus and flat. 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@goddardfamilyadventures]

We love our 6400! Awesome camera.

[@eleven8338]

I just purchased a6400 shall I return it to get A7 ii

[@harrishumble8118]

Why thou?

[@jansamuelsson7393]

Hi. I´ve purchased a 6400. I´ve only used it as a videocamera ones (in a indoor interview situation with a Sigma 16 mm and för voice over clips outdoors with the kit lens) yet, and I´m very impressed with quality of the picture (from the Sigma and shallow depth of field) and AF. The picture quality is much better than what I get from the Canon XA 30 that I also used during the interview, and better than my 5D mk iii that I´ve done comparing testshots with (note: the AF is really good at the XA 30 and a nightmare on the 5D). I bought the 6400 thanks to that the Swedish television (SvT) use it(!) and your, and many others, testvideos on YT. But one statement puzzles me: a lot of the testers (as you) says things like: "it´s the best camera for vlogging, B-shots and for publishing on the net" that makes me assuming that the picture quality really isn´t that good? I´m I right or wrong? If I want a significant better quality for the video, what camera should I get then (I´m going to replace the XA 30)? One more thing; zooming manually with the 6400 kit lens is tricky, I often get a "notch" in the middle of zooming (the automatic XA 30 zoom is a lot better).

[@techyguide6]

This comparison once again concludes that A7siii is long overdue.

[@conraddevera]

So you which one if they are of the same price?

[@nyrubin]

Which one looks stabler 😂💪❤️✌️ I would still stick to the a7sii. I think if I had to pick one that was cheaper it would definitely be the new rx100. Yes I know 1" sensor. But that little camera aid a beast!

[@TheEverydayDad]

[@mujihuz8433]

If you are a Vlogger and casual photographer and videographer, go with A6400. If you are a professional photographer or videographer who wants the best, go for A7III

[@nima16042]

I'm shopping right now between the A7RII and the A6400 and the price difference is only $400...but still another step up of $1000 to get an A7SII. Can you make a A7RII v A6400 video? I am thinking full frame will be a better investment in the long run because I want to get into landscape and mountain photography and hiking videography.

[@Phoenixrider9241]

I made a similar decision recently. I bought the A6600 vs A7R2. As good as the full frame is, the A6600 is much more versatile and up to date. Also with a cheap Sigma 16mm F1.4, it will give you awesome performance for both landscape and low light photography. The A6400-6600 have a phenomenally fast autofocus with 11fps. The A7R2 will not have as fast an autofocus and will show its age in the long term. Hope this helps.

It would have helped a lot for you to include the prices of these cameras in your video. I watch on big screen t.v. and cannot click links to find out price.
