How do you compare the Sony a6400 and the Canon M6 mark II for both photography and video? These are two of the most popular beginner mirrorless cameras from Sony and Canon and they offer great value.
The a6400 is a fantastic aps-c camera from Sony and offers an outstanding value. The M6 MK II is the new king of aps-c mirrorless cameras from Canon.
There are some similarities and some significant differences, so I will cover the strengths and weaknesses of the #a6400 and the #m6mkii for both photography and video, and I discuss everything from body type, framerate and resolution, autofocus, lens options, audio features, and ergonomics.
I will also look at the #sony a6400 and the Canon M6mkii in terms of battery life, timelapse, viewfinder and streaming options and recording limit.
Finally I’ll tell you which option I think is best for different uses.

[@parkerponders]

Thanks for the amazing video. I too am still unsure what to buy. I see very strong points in both cameras, and fairly big drawbacks in both as well. The M6 is easier to use, and as a beginner that is a big draw. The color science is more natural and vibrant, but it lags in quality of video compared to the a6400. But the digital focus and stabilization seems to produce more stable video. The lenses are less universal, and it seems you’re a little stuck with canon lenses. The a6400 tops the cake with video, the sharpness is a huge advantage in my opinion, but the coloring isn’t quite as good, and it seems fairly complicated to navigate, even after studying the system. I am interested in photography and video, possibly starting a KZbin channel soon, so I’m a little stumped. If I was only interested in photography OR video, then it seems like it would be an easier choice (M6 for photo, a6400 for video). Do you have any suggestions?

[@TechGearTalk]

you're welcome Parker. Very good assessment. For me, the color is a big deal, and so is ease of use so I would pick the m6mkii. If I needed unlimited recording, 120fps with af or LOG, I would go with the a6400, otherwise, m6mkii. Hope that helps. 🙏

[@yannika6914]

Thanks, as for me I just want to do photography so I guess the M6 is the best for that!

[@israelm87]

@@yannika6914 hey man, we have the same sentiment. I just have a little difficulty in choosing whether ill get the 90D due to more access to lenses OR just buy an adaptor mount in able to use old lenses for m6. Am I making sense or i should have just bought the 90D?

[@Daniel-su2es]

Great video. I finally got the RP because: 1. Full Frame 2. Part of the R lineup = excellent quality, EVF and really nice ergonomics 3. Price was perfect with the 35mm. I use it primarily for photography and it feels so nice to use it and the image quality is only amazing. I don't care about the lower resolution on the LCD or the EVF - it's completely adequate and fine. My only issue with it is the battery but a second one will solve the problem. In my opinion a great camera for photography with latest technology for a very fair price and so far I really really love it.

[@TechGearTalk]

I completely agree with your assessment of the RP and your perspective on the one part that "bothers" you. CONGRATS Daniel!

i went with the mk2 simply because the 6400 is out of stock (for body only) all the way until may (on amazon) unless i wanna buy used or from sone other site with a much more difficult return policy. it was so close and so i just let availability chose for me ;) i basically have a month to try out the mk2 and if for what ever reason, its not working out. i can return it and get the 6400 once it back in stock. btw, i went with body only so i could get the sigma 30mm 1.4 lens instead

[@edgestrikecyber]

I have been on the fence for the past few weeks about which camera to purchase (M6 MK II or a6400). I have watched many videos on each camera individually and read all the specs.

Thank you for doing this video.

[@TechGearTalk]

Super glad to hear this video was helpful Ian. Which did you pick?

[@edgestrikecyber]

Tech Gear Talk I picked the Sony a6400 because I want a camera that can do the buttery smooth 120fps slow motion but can also deliver a great still image quality. I also based the decision on the lens availability.

[@TechGearTalk]

Nice! CONGRATS!!!

[@JesseGollCodes]

Hey man. Fantastic video, I really appreciate the in-depth comparison between both cameras. I am planning on upgrading from my older A-Mount A77II in the next month or so and have been eyeing the A6400/6600 because of the e-mount and ability to use with my G-Master glass from my A7III, but Canon has been doing some really cool things recently with their mirrorless cameras and firmware updates, and the canon color science is SO tempting. This review really helped make up my mind on the A6400, this B camera would be dedicated to video, and I think that unlimited record time and the ability to record while plugged in are a huge benefit for my situation. Thank you for doing a thorough comparison, this was crazy helpful!

[@TechGearTalk]

Hi Jesse. I'm super glad the video was helpful. I think with you having GM glass for your a7iii, the a6400 is a great choice. No really reason for you to spend the extra $ on the a6600. Let me know how it works out for you when you get it. Thanks for joining the community and supporting the channel 👊

[@balkishore25]

Thanks a ton for making such videos. I have become a big fan. I am sought of confused between Canon M6 MK II, Lumix G9 and Sony a6400. Following is the prices for these cameras in the country where I am currently based: Canon M6 MK II with EF-M 15-45mm lens + EVF + Adapter EF - EOS M = $1,130 Lumix G9 + vario 12-60mm 3.5-5.6 lens = $1,450 Sony a6400 + E 18-135mm = $1480 (or) Sony a6400 + 16-50mm = $1,100 Which one would you recommend? I am beginner and would mostly like to capture portraits and landscapes (and sometimes astro)

[@SteveSooy]

Love how you break down your videos. Ive been watching a lot of them lately trying to decide which camera to buy. Thanks!

[@jorgiewtf]

So, like I stated in your other video, I will return the Canon M6 as soon as I get it in and order the a6400 instead!

[@TechGearTalk]

Hi Jorgie - I replied to the other comment as well. Think about how you would use it and how often you need more than a 30 minute continuous clip. You can still do that with the m6mkii with an external recorder if it's rare. Otherwise, the ease of use of the footage on the M6MKII is really nice to have. Can't go wrong here, it's just choices.

[@Pharesm]

So Canon makes it easier and more convenient to take footage, that may not be quite as good as the footage the Sony camera is capable of... If you like shooting with the greatest possible envelope, the Sony seems to be the ticket. But if you want the smoother experience, the Canon is better. Then again, the advantage of the Sony may not always matter or be decisive, while the Canon may allow you to get shots instead of spending time fumbling with the camera.

Hey man i think you have given the best honest comparision between both the cameras and please let me help in deciding which camera i should buy for wildlife photography. Canon or Sony.

[@Engineer_Filippov]

Sony a6400 is a more balanced camera, but I chose the EOS M6 Mk II. It seems to me that it is better suited for photography. It has a better sensor resolution, and, judging by the graphs in other reviews, then his dynamic range is higher than that of the Sony sensor. Now the M6-II, along with a kit-lens and a viewfinder, is being sold a little cheaper than a Sony kit. But the main thing is still optics. For Canon, it is much cheaper and there are a lot of it. Plus, the Canon mount protocol is known to everyone. Even the Chinese produce inexpensive speed-boosters, which work with almost no limits. I like the 0.71 crop with full-frame lenses. With it, I get very, very interesting focal lengths and an impressive aperture.

Very comprehensive review; answered all of my questions thanks, although I would have liked more commentary on the speed of autofocus between near and far objects (in the context of a setting such as that seen in this very review) when recording video. I need a cam mainly for streaming and I think the Sony wins it overall, especially as I may wish to either replace it with or additionally buy an A7SIII later-on. I was very surprised to hear that any camera at this level (i.e. the Canon) has a 30-minute limit for recording video.

[@TechGearTalk]

If your upgrade path is to an a7siii - definitely go with the Sony and start investing in lenses. Almost every single canon dslr/mirrorless camera has a recording limit.

I love your videos!!! You’re so helpful man! I’ve been researching a ton of cameras to be able to do video, photography, and live streaming well. The few questions I have because I’m leaning more towards the Canon M6 Mark ll. With the adapter what all Canon glass can I use? Because my brother has a lot of lenses I can borrow. When using the canon for live streaming does the Elgato Cam Link 4K bypass the 30 minute recording time limit? Everything on Elgato’s website says yes but Canon technical service say no. I want to be able to put it on the tripod behind my computer and not mess with it until an end of a stream a few hours later. What lens is going to give me the best results as far Bokeh? I want to be able to live stream and have everything around me be blurry besides myself for the most part. I know that has to deal with things like aperture but I need to know what kind of lens would assist in that as well. I know this is going take a good amount of your time if you even get a chance to respond. But if you could answer these questions because I trust your expertise in full detail and clarity.

[@TechGearTalk]

Hi, glad the videos are helpful and thank you for the kind words. 1. Yes, all glass will work 2. Yes, you can stream for longer than 30 minutes (because you're not technically recording to the camera) 3. You'll want something with a low aperture number (ex. Sigma 16mm f/1.4, or Sigma 30mm f/1.4, my favorite lens is the Sigma 18-35 f/1.8) I hope these were helpful.

Cool gadgets? I’m really about quality so I don’t want to buy just a gray market package with a bunch of generic accessories.

[@TechGearTalk]

It depends a little on what you want to start with (as far as photography, video or streaming). You can start and learn about exposure, framing, etc. with a camera and a lens. For video, If it were me, I would start with camera, lenses, support (tripod), microphone and lighting. IMO the most important part is to shoot as much as possible. Watch a tutorial then go and try a bunch of times. Don't waste time watching 100 tutorials. Watch a 2-3 then go shoot 97 times! You don't learn by watching you learn by doing. Does this make sense?

[@voiceofREASONS]

Sagi- I was SOLD on the M50 as my first VLOG/cinematic B-roll cam. But recently started looking at the M6MKii. Budget is definitely in consideration, being that it's my first legit camera, would you suggest getting my feet wet w the M50 or paying up for the M6? I dont want more camera than I can handle but I dont want to regret not getting the right camera. 2nd, if I go with the M50, would you suggest getting the kit lens or buying just the body and picking up the 11 mm lens for it? I love the wider crop of the 11 for sure but the kit lens may suffice too? Thanks again for what you are doing man, it is top shelf content and REALLY helpful!

[@HEYDJ]

Hi! Jumping in as an M50 user and an M fan in general. If money is in consideration, I say go for the M50 and use the money saved (from not getting the M6ii) to get other lenses. If you're vlogging, the swivel screen will also be better as it will not compete with a hotshoe mounted microphone. As for lenses, you can't go wrong with the 11-22mm for vlogging. The kit 15-45mm should be fine as well. But for the cinematic b-roll stuff, you will still probably consider primes like the Canon 22mm STM or EF 50STM and Sigma options.

[@voiceofREASONS]

@@HEYDJ Thanks for the feedback DJ! I was thinking the same thing, spend the extra $ that I save on glass. I can get the M50 body from Abe's of Maine for $450 and 11mm for around $299. So I was thinking about passing on the kit lens and putting that $ toward the 11mm. And you suggest those more expensive lenses for the cinematic footage eh? Is it their clarity or what makes them more cinematic?

[@TechGearTalk]

Jumping in as well. The primes are "faster" (meaning winder aperture) so they create a shallow depth of field. I think if you only had the 11-22 - you could find that it's really wide. I always recommend getting a kit lens because of: kzbin.info/www/bejne/sF7bXpdjgJ59nNk There are very good primes: the 22mm that DJ suggested, the 32 f1.4, and sigma came out with three lenses 16,30,56 f/1.4 which are nice as well. If you are going to shoot in 4K, you need the m6mkii. If you're going to shoot in 1080p, get the M50. Hope this was helpful.

[@voiceofREASONS]

@@TechGearTalk SO HELPFUL! I don't need 4k, no one needs to see this mug in 4k. So I'll stick to the m50. I'd love to have the wide angle option as well as the prime 22m. I'll start working on the wife to get the purchase approved 😆. Thanks again for everything Sagi! Looking forward to your next peice.

I think a6400 takes the cake with video stuff (better face recognition, audio, flip up screen, no recording time limit.)

[@earthless8781]

I'm really struggling choising between those two so this comparison is really welcomed. It is clear, at least for me, that the a6400 is overall the better camera (better AF, better video, better autonomy) and (here) is also way cheaper than m6mk2, but problem is about the lenses. Sony lenses are expensive compared to the Canon ones, but they offers a coerent path if you stay in the sony system. If only I could find a sony alternative to the sigma 17-50 2.8f I would not have any doubt on which buy.

[@TechGearTalk]

I was all set on the M6 but there’s no log profile in that of any kind. So if you’re like me and you need to shoot 4K and you need some kind of log profile for color grading in the sub $1000 range for cameras it looks to me like it’s the a6400. To me Sony and Canon are the only ones with acceptable auto focus so who are the other brands are out.

[@TechGearTalk]

Go with the a6400 if you want to shoot in log. You can get great SLOG2/3 and HLG footage.

Both camera are littely same price Sony A6400 is 999 € and M6 MK II 1189 €. Can you please tell me ? it's urgent i need it. Thanks for your reply.

Hi what you suggest for Movie shooting , Sony A6400 or the Canon M6 MKII ? Thanks for help, Franky

Both would work great - it's about the specific features you need/want. (ex. unlimited recording, slow motion, touch screen, usb power, etc.)

I'm heavily committed to Canon glass and I have a 5D4, a 7D2 and an M50. I love the M50 but it's not good with long lenses and small subjects (like birds). Do you think the M62 is going to be any better for this?

[@TechGearTalk]

The M6MKII is better all around (other than the screen and optional EVF issues). I got really good results with it Adrian.

[@HafidzMurshidie]

In my country, M6II (in today) is cheaper than A6400... If I convert my money to USD, M6II costs around $740.. A6400 is $885... That's $145 of difference... Both price are with the kit lens because I need a kit lens first as I do not have the budget to get a great lens right now.. So what would you guys recommend that I get..? I am really stumped right now.. I cannot sleep comfortably because I haven't decided on which one I would get.. The argument in this video saying EF-M lenses are short compared to E mount.. Well that was more than a year ago argument and making it invalid as Sigma and more 3rd party lenses company have released EF-M lenses over the year.. But A6400 video quality is greater because it was downsampled from 6K.. But M6II is cheaper.. But A6400 does not lose AF when recording in 120FPS.. But M6II has Digital IS... But A6400 has a built in EVF... But M6II does not crop on 4K videos.. But A6400 has weather sealing.. Help me I'm going crazy guys.. Please decide for me..

[@victoragoo7771]

This is very helpful. I am a canon guy and I think I will go with M6MK2

[@AlexCruzHaha]

Tech Gear Talk for the Win! So I don't plan on in 4K because I dont have the equipment or storage for it to work with it. However, I do want to start color grading or at least trying it out. I have a canon m50 and have been thinking about making that switch to the a6400 for the low light capabilities, clean HDMI for live streaming and log profiles for dabbling with color grading. Is this a good switch to make?

[@rachael6342]

Hi I am looking to buy my first camera and I will be using it for mostly interviews, b roll and timelapse footage I really like the M6MKII but the 30 min limit on it is making lean towards the a6400. Is the added cost of an external recorder worth it for the M6MKII or should I go with the a6400 to save $$$ for lenses and audio equipment. Thanks for your videos, in the last 3 days I've flipped from the M50, a6400 and the M6MKII because your videos reviews are just some informative and engaging that makes me want to buy them all!

[@samiraghaemi8438]

Great video, thanks. I'm going to buy my very first camera and I think I like A6400 more. Is it hard to use A6400 as a beginner? Since you mentioned Canon is more user friendly. Don't want to buy something which would be complicated to use and I ended up not using it at all. and I will mainly use the camera for my toddler photography that is not easy to keep her still and family photos.

I noticed the Canon M6-ii has lower priced lenses. What are your thoughts on the difference between lens pricing and image quality between Sony E-Mount lenses and Canon EF-M lenses? I noticed that when looking at the lenses I'm interested in Sony ends up being much more expensive despite Canon's offerings being more limited.
