I use the G85 for video AND stills and this is where it REALLY shines!

Hey man, I have both cameras and I love them too. The G85 has fantastic ergonomics without being too big, and all the manual controls and buttons are amazing. I use it exclusively for photography, which I love because it's very portable. On the other hand, the a6400 is a real workhorse too!

Thanks for effort, great details

I picked up the a6400 a month ago, watched some videos on settings, got it all figured out for the most part. I feel like the kit lens 16-50mm is kind of gimped after watching other videos with different lenses so I was checking out the 16mm F1.4 Sigma and Sony 18-105mm F4, Both Seem pretty darn good, The Sigma seems good but the F4 on the 18-105mm seems like an all around perfect lens, what do you guys think?

The best comparison video for these two cameras out there. Great content!

Dude, for some reason, that was the sharpest video I've seen from camera samples from BOTH. What did you export your YT video in? Format? Bitrate? Crazy!!

Love these videos! You’re killing me with all the Sony a6400 videos. So much FOMO in my life for that camera. You’re going to force me to buy one. 😂

Thank you for posting such an informative analysis.

You’re always solidifying my decision to buy my A6400...such an amazing camera

Great video!! I think both cameras are great! Nobody seems to have mentioned size as a factor in choice. isn't the A6400 more compact than the G85?

Thanks for this video man!!!! You answered to all my doubt regarding these two cameras, i just sold my sony a6000 and i'm wondering which will be my next camera and my choice was going around these two exact cameras so this video was the Holy Grail for me :) :) Thanks again!!!

Hey Everyday Dad, Thanks for listening to my feedback really appreciate it. I'm looking to get into the online creation space for the most adorable price point. Your videos are a strong help plus just got myself the DJI Osmo Action it's an awesome little device.

This was the best comparison even in 2022. Thank you.

I’ll take semi shaky stabilization over wandering focus any day. Good video and I like my Panasonic G7, but hate the wandering focus.

🙂 Don't forget that the G85 has even better IBIS when it record at 1080p. You only recorded at 4K and there is a bit a jitter, but record at 1080P and it's amazing!

Yay! You finally did it!

This is what i waitin for! Thank U!

I'm starting out in filmmaking, and put together a budget list of things I would like to purchase, and I had both the Canon m50, and Sony A6400 at the top of my list, and foolish of myself, I didn't give enough respect to other options like Panasonic, Fugi, ect, until recently. I started watching lots of video's, reviews, and examples of the G85, and realized quick that my pick of 2, has now become at least a pick of 3 budget starter cameras. Not 5 hours later, I see someone selling his used G85, with a 50mm, and and 70-210mm lenses for $700 cnd (around $550 usd). I locked it down, and exited to start figuring it out!

Have the G85 with a handful of Panasonic native lenses (cannot afford the Leica variants), and adapters for my (gulp) 65+ vintage lenses. Love it. I'd like to have a Sony A6400 *ALSO* (not instead of) -- but can't afford it. Yup -- you work around the Lumix AF issues (you can get it to work acceptably in some situations), but overall it is a very usable camera (I love it for stills also). Thank you for doing such a tough -- for you -- comparison!!!

I would like to see a Video on the Sony A6400 settings for Video Recording.

Sony a6400 is my current setup With the sigma 16mm

Been watching so many of your vids. Love your style and structure. If you had to prioritize one over the other would you pick autofocus or stabilization?

Hi great video! I need your opinion on this, What is the best camera for Tech product (phones, laptops, cameras, earbuds etc...) review from the Top down ( overhead ) angle out of G85 and a6400 ? What’s your only pick for top down camera angle? Thanks 🙏

hey man, love your videos, i wanted to ask you between the g85 and the a6100 for some action scenes with ultra wide lens which one would you recomend, the price tag is almost the same however the a6100 is used, thank you very much in advance keep ot up mate :)

Which lens did you use here for your indoor studio g85 B-Cam?

Hey, thank you for this video. I have been debating a long time between those 2 cameras. But here in France, the a6400 is around 900€ with kit lens and 850€ without. And I just found the g85 (body only) for 300€ yesterday, so I pulled the trigger obviously. I must admit I am a bit nervous about the autofocus but as a beginner I see it as an opportunity to learn the basics of photography and film making without relying on gear specs only. Also, I did my homework and found videos on how to work around the autofocus issues (manual). I will be doing headtalks for youtube, videos for my online classes and maybe some vlog in the future. As of now, I am waiting for the camera to be delivered and I am planning to buy the sigma 16mm f1.4 for M43. Do you recommend this lens or can you recommand something else (max 400€)? I have a small room that doubles as office and studio. Thanks and keep up the good woork :)

I heard the kit lens on the G85 is also weather sealed. That’s and good IBIS is hard to beat. However good AF and auto exposure of the A6400 sounds nice.

I curious wonder what camera and lense you filmed yourself while talking in room???? Thanks for video

That Sony does have a clean picture may have to get me one down the line especially because it doesn't have a recording limit, that's right up my alley for what I shoot. Great video.

Great video btw have you used the Sony remote control?, Game changer

Thank you for giving us what we want!

Thanks dad for a great video.👍

As someone who's looking to buy a new camera, currently own Nikon D3200 and a Canon G7x. I think I'd go with the Lumix G80 mainly because of the price difference. I can get a used G80 for around £400 but the Sony is over £700

AWESOME review! Your indoors footage they both look FANTASTIC. For the vlogging Walk-around comparison, was the lens used on the Sony one that included Stabilisation?

I recently bought the G85 and i compared it with my friend's a6400. In terms of sheer video quality in 4K, no competition, the Sony delivered better, sharper footage. It's like a 6K video... but in 4K... because it is. And the autofocus of course.. But in terms of ease of use, I wouldn't wanna switch my camera. It's just SOOOO much fun to use it that i actually went out of my way to use it to take photos and videos every day.

on god, i can watch your vids all day

Two questions I need answered. Which one is better for photography and can the g85 do sports photography?

Hello friend, one question, do you recommend the Sony a6000 for long streams, I have a little doubt and fear since I do live streams on twitch and they are long maybe 4 or maybe 6 hours and obviously the camera will be connected to a fake battery connected to the electricity all the time, that's why the reason for my fear when streaming I don't know if the camera overheats they told me that the Lumix G85 doesn't overheat in video and I don't know which one to choose I would appreciate it if you gave me your opinion, I hope see your answers, thanks.

Currently the 6500 is $898 and the g85 is $650. Now that they are closer in price range, would you opt for one or the other?

Hi Daddy! Haha! I just wanna ask if can you do a specific technical video about the SONY A6400 Unlimited Recording Functionality specifically for gamers who record videos for around 4 to 6 hours of gameplay with a facecam. 1. Do recording files still split into 4gb like the usual recording stuff? ( I hope it doesn't split) We usually record for long hours on 1080p at 60fps to match our gameplay fps footage. 2. How large is the file size for around a 4 to 6-hour recording? 3. What are the compatible AC Adapter Kit to power the camera continuously? 4. Is Atomos Ninja V still recommended to buy even if the Sony A6400 has no recording limit? I have been looking for this information around youtube and I actually found someone who recorded it for quite a long time (but only in 4k) and the actual files were not actually shown in the video. Thanks and Cheers!

How do you get your g85 to look so good in low light? I have one & can’t seem to get it looking good without tons of noise

I really love my G85, it is a wonderful camera and you get so much bang for your buck. I've used it for music videos, travel videos, documentaries, other hired work and for stills too. I'm still going to keep using it for a while for sure, i don't see a reason to switch to a more expensive camera.

Have you tried the Fuji XH1? With the price cut seems interesting

Thx for listening man

I am a beginner and will shoot KZfaq content almost FHD that's why I am thinking to get M50. Can you advise if 85g, 6100 or x-t200 will be a better choice? Your advise is highly appreciated

I am thinking of getting a Canon 90D or a Sony a6400 but I am not sure any recommendations for filmmaking?

debating between the G85 vs the m50, price isn't an option. Which should i get

i returned my a6400 for a few reasons. the video reason is screen tearing (rolling shutter) when panning. the sensor readout is so slow it give the video file an unsmooth look whenever there's enough motion - even in this video I noticed it and the fast your move/pan the worse it gets. that tearing effect i could not live with.

3:49 My wifi crash right after you finished your sentence.

Can you help me? I just purchased a Lumix G85 and the screen hinge cover on the bottom has a little bit of play in it. Is this normal?

1:45 surprised with the slow autofocus. Did you have real time tracking on?

You've really gotten better and better at doing these and imo have really upped the entertainment value alongside your already very informative content. Usually end up here whenever I'm researching a camera for myself or friends / fam

The G85 is currently on sale for $697!!!

The two cams seem to work well together as well

Plz reply, which camera and lens u used in this video?? 🙏

A6400 for me. I shot my last few videos with it and have been more than happy.

Thx for this video! The fully articulated screen, went lose very quickly on my Sony HDD handycam. I just hope Lumix has better one.

Why does it seem like the same video every time do Lumix G7 Vs any camera

I have and love them both as well. I find myself using them pretty much equally. I don't really vlog for my channel so that doesn't matter to me. The battery life of the g85 blows the a6400 away. Both are great choices. Thanks for another great video. Cheers.

EveryDayDad what intro music is that in the background?

I would go with the G85 on a budget without hesitating. There are workarounds for vlogging focus worries. If budget wasn't an issue I would go for whichever fits your needs / wants / desires.

It boils down to Autofocus or IBIS... Which of these is the biggest problem? is it 5 seconds of extra effort to manually focus the camera, or is it lugging a big expensive gimbal around with you while travelling. If you want to create high quality content (which is the point of bringing one of these with you anyway) why not spend the extra few seconds to make sure you're in focus. Even the sony autofocus can fail sometimes.

I Recently Purchased a Sony a6400 my first Camera, Please can you do a Video on Best Video Settings for A6400

I choose the Panasonic Lumix G85 and I love it.

Someone can answer me? a friend is selling me a g85 with a 25mm 1.7 for 400€ and the A7II with a 50mm 1.8 for 750€ is worth the extra cash for the A7II or i go for the lumix? i want to do the most profesional stuff i can, but taking in mind the Price-Quality Relationship (stabilization and auto focus are important to me)

Is there any budget mirrorless that has IBIS, autofocus, AND no 4K crop? This is impossible to find a camera.

I used G85 until yesterday. I loved it but AF was so bad so I got a6400 yesterday. AF is so good and i love it some much but since it had no iBIS like G85 so heard to take video walking. Already I miss IBIS on G85 but glad I got a6400 can't beat that AF.

How about G85 vs Canon M50?

Can you do a video on a6600 vs G85? Thanks in advance.

The G85 and A6400 is the same price where I live. Does this make the A6400 a no brainer and is the definite camera to get? These comparisons are great!

If the A6400 with a gimbal fixes the image stabilization, does that mean it beats the Lumix G85 because there is no easy fix for autofocus?

Hey Everyday Dad! I love your videos! I'm a beginning film creator and have a small budget. I've spent weeks researching and stressing over what camera i need. I like this video that compares this Sony with the Lumix G85. I was about to get the Lumix until I heard that the Sony doesn't have great stabilization. I specifically want to film moving cars from a tandem vehicle hopefully without a big gimbal. But I would assume that I would really need good auto focus for that. What do you think? Thanks!

Any overheating issues with extended 4k recording with the a6400?

Good comparison video Thanks Subs to your channel

What about the touch screens? The G85 touch screen knocks out the Sony a6400 touch screen. G85 also beats the a6400 in their menu .

Please make a video comparison of Fuji XH1/ XS10/ Lumix G85/ a6400

What’s your mic set up

What camera you suggest me, im starter with videos. I prefer 1080p with 60 fps. with a tide budget

hmm idk why people say lumix g85 focus is not good but i use it personally it has different type of focus so i use eye track focus which works great.

First harem camera comparison video I’ve seen

I initially bought my g85 for a period of 5 months and gosh Its a very sturdy camera, everything else is great but trust me. That Auto-focus is so discouraging a serious pain in the heart. It ruins every damn thing especially if you're a solo content creator. Always have to be wondering if it's in focus, despite having many autofocus modes it easily gets lost and barely recovers. If u shoot manual and have your focus fixed at a focal length then perhaps you're good but we know that sucks... It has a good IBIS, rather the best, but who cares about that when you're not in focus? lol. I dont plan to sit on a chair and talk or shoot all day. I plan to do photography, cinematography, vlog, and others. I mean versatility should be key. For its price, it's a good one of u wanna learn anger management. I got frustrated so fast and waited for the stores to open from Covid and added more cash and got me my a6400 and oboiii!!! Instantly It blew me away. I got the telephoto lense 55-210, I still use it and instantly I knew I was set. And for 2000rs I got the 16-50mm kit lense. The difference is absolutely clear. Yes the sony lacks inbuilt IBIS, but it's lense has "steadyshot" which brings some decent stabilization. The Auto-focus is ranked as the best of untouchable out there. It NEVER loses track of subject. Even if I don't select it, it selects me by eye autofocus, then if my eyes are far, it switches to face/head asap, then if face is far it switches to subject tracking automatically. Like damn it's so reliable. Super fast auto-focus. So damn quick in acquiring target, extremely fast, accurate and sensitive, it hasn't ever let me down there. Perfect for photography/videography/vlog. Yes it doesn't have in-built IBIS, but I got a gimbal to make up for that, u can't mske up for a poor and excrutiatingly painful slow/sluggish autofocus from g85, it's almost as if it doesn't feel like focusing but you're forcing it out of bed in the winter morning/night to focus on a subject and its complaining or nagging to get the job done and will ofcourse still lose it again. However, the g85 had an easy interface, very basic and easy to navigate, especially with the custom dials which you could assign functions to, and the use of full navigable touchscreen. The sony is a full system with a lot of features, few custom dials depending on modes but not the most easiest navigation to comprehend by rookies, as u gotta use buttons, the touchscreen is reserved for focussing, tracking and zooming, but soon you'll be glad u got it. The g85 costs me 54,000rs, my a6400 costs me a lakh, twice the amount, but with two lenses. and for all that feat, I'm glad. Plus I got Sigma lenses later on and I'm loving every bit of it. No regrets for the sony. 😌😌😌 Yes pricey, but promising and gets it done. And ofcourse they both suck at battery life just like all cameras, canon and the rest lol.

Fridays with TEDD

I love my g85. Until I can afford the gh5s this works great. I use it for Stills, music videos, commercials, weddings and so fourth.

Trying to decide between the g85 and the a6100 for wildlife photography. I am ready to order from Best buy right now but can't make up my mind.

This is a bit closer of a match than the M50. Though im a panasonic fan the a6400 would still get my money.

Is the autofucs on the g85 really that bad.. For someone wanting to take vibrant photos and making short films as well as vlogs

U Lok outstanding and ur video. Plz advise me best 4k photo camera for wedding videography under 1000$, plz reply.

We like the videos about cameras...! Suggestion: Make video about cheap cameras for photos and for newbee.

Great vid! Curious about a video comparison of the m50 or g85 vs that Pixel 3a??

Bro, suggest me best camera in all aspects for vlogging, shortfilms between cannon m50 and panasonic lumix g85 as their price range is also same.. So confused to take

If the 1080 and the pre amps are better in the G85, I'd call it the winner. Especially with touch to focus while rolling, and the app. It kind of negates the AI AF in the Sony, that makes me feel like I'm funding DARPAs Skynet division.

I love my g85 14mm f2.5 45mm f1.7 135mm f 2.8

G85 is great but it is not as cheap as you say where I live.

Hi T.E.D., great stuff per usual. I had the Lumix G85, GX85 and now a G9 which lives on a tripod in my "studio" with a SmallHD monitor and Rode video mic pro forever connected to it. I do film camera reviews mostly (thus my channel name) and really like the video quality and pretty much everything about the Lumix cameras. The G85 has better video quality that the latest Olympus OM-D EM-whatever (which I bought and returned for that reason) and is probably better for video than the latest and greatest in 2019. I was blown away by how the Lumix G85 outperformed my Nikons also for video. The crappy continuous Auto-FOCUSING is infuriating from a camera that does everything else so WELL! It's got to be embarrassing for them to have such bad continuous AF on such an otherwise great camera. And to be clear, it's just the continuous AF that sucks-not the other modes. More accurately, the Lumix's can't do that trick that Sony and Canon do so well like when the camera is focused on your face and then you hold an object (a camera in my case) a foot or so in front of you (like in a camera review video), it won't smoothly (or at all) autofocus on to the camera that i'm holding in front of me! I don't understand why Panasonic can't get this issue resolved. At the end of the day it's about content and not equipment, so just get the G85 (learn to work around this issue like I did) and go out and make great videos.

Imo, the color on the lumix is a bit more saturated and has more contrast. The sony looks a touch washed out to me.

Olympus em5 mark 2??

In UK Sony a6400 it’s cheaper then Panasonic GH5, 949£ vs 1358£ , both body only.

TBH, I don't mind the Panasonic not having Autofocus BUT....the stabilization is a MUST for me.

Great video. I personally rather save up to get the a6400

2:17 those G85 sample video definitely look not 4k
