Today I’m going to compare the Sony a7iii and the Sony a6400 for both photography and video. These are two of the most popular mirrorless cameras from Sony and offer two very enticing options.
There are a lot of similarities so I will cover the strengths and weaknesses of the #a7iii and the #a6400 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 a7iii and the a6400 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.

I'm new to photography and am looking to mainly get into shooting food and landscape (on hikes). Between these two I think the a6400 is definitely more my speed. Is it worth considering other options? I've been drawn to Sony mainly because of their mounting system which I've heard is used across all their cameras. That just seems like the future proof option if I choose to upgrade to a full frame in the future. Are there any other cameras you think could beat the a6400 at a similar price point for my use cases?

Good review. One option I’m considering is the a6400 and Sony 70-350 combo (can’t afford full frame zooms). Will the lens OSS (not interested or needing IBIS for video) control image shake when using super telephoto enough to take a sharp photo without sending shutter rates and ISO numbers into serious noise country with the a6400 ? Or would I be better off with Sony a7 iii and grow over time with lens as I go ? Thanks. I considered the RX 10 IV also but noise with the 1 inch sensor seems to limit photos to internet image quality only . 👍😊

Bought the a5100 for my wife a few months ago thinking she could use my 24-240 lens on it since she likes super zooms and the flip screen was perfect for taking selfies while we're on vacation. But that 24-240 felt like it was going to break the mount on that camera. So I was looking for a smaller lens and decided on the 18-135mm sony lens. Well that lens is $600! Yada yada yada..."my wife" has a new a6400 with the 18-135mm. Just picked it up last night but it's well worth the price just in body construction alone. And with the animal eye autofocus, my little Teddy is going to have some killer pics without being focused in on his wet lil nose.

Later, i changed my mind and bought the a6400 + sony sel 35mm f1.8 + sigma 56mm f1.4 which cost me 200usd less than an a7iii body only. And any adapted lens auto focus works great with the a6400.

Great video. Unfortunatley I still don't know which one to buy. I like the flip up screen on the a6400 but I prefer the sensor in the a7 iii. I definately want 4k and these are two of my top options along with the Fuji XT-3 and the Nikon Z6. I think I've definatley eliminated the Nikon for having only one XQD card. It 's a really hard choice, all of these cameras look fantastic. Have you tried the hack on the a7 iii to have a flip up screen? (I mean the piece you can print using a 3D printer).
@TechGearTalk 5 жыл бұрын
Those are all good choices for sure. Tell me more about the Z6 XQD card issue - I haven't looked at that camera yet. I have not tried the 3D print flip up piece... but I will tell you the X-T3 is probably my favorite mirrorless camera right now (other than the controls).
@FutureVegan 5 жыл бұрын
@@TechGearTalk thanks for your reply! The issue with the Nikon Z6 is that it only has one card slot and this is an XQD card. According to most experts this type of card is going to get obsolete. CFexpress and SD UHS-III will be the new standards (and also faster than XQD). On top of this XQD are hard to find and very expensive. So. even though I own 2 Nikon lenses I believe the Sony a6400, Sony A7 III and XT-3 are better options. IMO a7 III > XT-3 > a6400 in terms of image quality. From all the reviews I've seen a6400 > a7 III > XT-3 in terms of user experience (how much does the user need to fiddle with the cameras). Then the XT-3 has more video options including 4K 60f. I'm mostly going to use the camera indoors with a tripod and I use an external sound recorder. However, I was thinking of doing some vlogging every now and then. I know for this the a6400 would be ideal, but for the indoor scenario probably the other options are better. For a better image and better bokeh the a7 III is better. And then you have the XT-3 with all its options...It is a hard call for me.
@TechGearTalk 5 жыл бұрын
It's a hard call and an easy call at the same time. The hard part is that you have 3 good options, but the easy part is that you have 3 good options 😂 I would prioritize what you're going to do most of the time. If you think you want the image quality/shallow depth of field of the a7iii, and most of the time you're on a tripod, I would prioritize that over the "some vlogging every now and then" What do you think?

Thanks for your very interesting videos. There are always very useful. I would like to address quite a specific question I am having a hard time finding an answer to online. I was getting quite excited about buying the a7iii but I have been really sad to discover that it is not possible to tap-focus using the application. As a matter of fact I suffer muscular dystrophy and, as I can't hold the camera in my hands, I completely need to be able to focus remotely. Even if it does not work as good as I would like to, I can focus and shoot with my Canon 760D using the app. That is sad because it really seems to be a minor issue compared to what the camera as to offer but it is definitely crucial to me. On the other hand, it seems that tap focusing using the app is possible (it might have something to do with the touchscreen options of this camera). Could you tell me more about that as I have seen that you have been playing around with the app a bit? I also heard about the Bluetooth remote control that seems to work quite well with the a7iii. Would that be an option? I guess it would be a bit tricky to manage focus modes in order to succeed to produce the image I want (I often like to put the on-focus object/subject on the sides of my pictures). Even if my main concern is image quality and the ability to shoot outstanding portraits this little difference could make me change my mind and decide for the A6400 over the a7iii . Thanks in advance for your help pal! (Of course, anyone having information to give about that specific issue is more than welcome to contribute!)

Hi there Johann. This is a major pain point for me as well. I have simply not found any way to do that with a Sony camera. I just reviewed the Canon M6 Mark II and the 90D. I've also reviewed the EOS R. They all have that functionality. Honestly, I would get one of those and enjoy the user experience.

@@TechGearTalk Gotcha! Basically was wondering, if you take photos on A7iii in "APSC mode" by using a crop lens and compare it to photos taken on A6400 with the same crop lens, I was wondering if there'd be any differences. I'm hesitant to get A7iii rn not because the camera itself is more expensive, but because I won't be able to afford all the cool fullframe lens rn. So was wondering if there'd be a benefit of buying an A7iii and using apsc lenses for now, then buyin fullframe lenses as time goes on. But if quality won't be much different, I'll just get the A6400. (Sorry for the long msg) Thanks again! :)

It's a tough call. I've been really happy with both the DR and LL perf. on the a6400 but I would need to actually do a side by side with the a7ii. My guess is that if you want to do FF and aren't interested in video, the a7ii is the way to go. It's more important to invest in lenses that will work for you into the future. If you're considering FF already then it might make sense to buy FF lenses, regardless of which body you buy because you are likely to upgrade. I hope these help a bit.

Need to update soon with a6600 vs. a7iii. For me this is where it gets tricky because price is so close. In real life, everyday shooting experience I would prefer the smaller kit but do you find that once you start using anything but the 16-50 pancake or small primes the size advantage goes away? I also would love to take advantage of the larger sensor for shallow DOF but struggle with "looking like a tourist" which I guess is the case with anything but a smartphone these days. The new autofocus (for stills) is what has me looking the new Sony's. Now I just need to make a choice.
