Comparing the Sony a6400 and the Fuji X-T30 for both photography and video was a ton of fun. These are two of the newest and most popular beginner mirrorless cameras from Sony and Fuji and they offer an outstanding value.
There are many similarities and some important differences between the two mirrorless cameras, so I will cover the strengths and weaknesses of the #a6400 and the #xt30 for both photography and video, and compare everything from body type, framerate and resolution, autofocus, lens options, audio features, and ergonomics.
I will also look at the #sony a6400 and the Fuji X-T30 in terms of battery life, timelapse, viewfinders, LCd screen and recording limit.
And finally, let’s see if we can decide which camera is best for you.

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.

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.

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.

@michelbehr 3 жыл бұрын

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”

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 4 жыл бұрын

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

@SimplyBravo 4 жыл бұрын

@@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!

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 4 жыл бұрын

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: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/sJOoYMdesJ-ulqs.html Hope that helps!

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?

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

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?

Hi! Very thorough review and I learnt a lot. I've been mostly using point and shoot (Sony RX100), I'm a total beginner in photography and simply want a very capable camera for travel and family pictures. I may do some short videos. After hours of research (too much) I have found that Sony a6100 (or a6400) and X-T30 standout and would like your kind recommendation. After reading comment I also read about Z50 (Nikkon?) So I'm a bit unsure what to choose. Also, I am not that familiar about lenses, but read the incl. Lens for Sony isn't good, but the X-T30 18-55mm is nice, what about Z50? Being a complete beginner, would that lens be enough for most situation? Sorry for all the questions but your help would be greatly appreciated

You've learned a lot. I would say that you should always start with the kit lens because of: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/sJOoYMdesJ-ulqs.html Yes, the Fuji kit lens is my favorite or any brand.

Hi Sagi, thanks for this comprehensive and informative comparison video. I also saw your unboxing video of the Canon M6 II, and am still trying to decide between the Fuji Xt30 and the Canon. As a beginner user, which would you recommend for general street, travel and portrait photography? I feel with the Fuji lens I can easily upgrade to a better Fuji camera body in the future, whilst with the EF-M lens for the Canon, if I upgraded the to a higher Canon camera body, say a 90D, the lens wouldn't be compatible. But Canon has the selfie screen and touch screen menu which, from what you've reviewed, seems easier and more responsive to use compared to the Xt30. Yeah, so still trying to decide. I had initially planned on getting the Canon M50 earlier in the year, but then waited and now have the M6MII and the Xt30 to choose from. Appreciate if you could give some guidance. Thanks

Hi Alvin, thanks for all the details about your process. The three uses you mentioned street, travel, photography don't seem to require a selfie screen (although the touch screen is nice to have - but you have it in the Fuji for everything but the main menu). Good points regarding the lenses on Fuji, there are also more (and better) options that don't require an adapter. The M6 Mark II is really nice though - it replaced my M50 for sure. I'm working on the review now. I hope this helps.
