I think the reason they removed the flash is they ran out of room for it. The flash needs a massive capacitor. In the a6300 (and presumably the a6400 as well), that capacitor is located right beside the battery compartment.

finally. this is what I'm waiting for... this camera just coming to Indonesia, and I will have it one soon, still in purchase order que..

one reason to choose this camera rather than A7III is tilting screen for self vlogging

Finally! I was hopping to see a new video! Thanks

I think you made a great choice Arthur. I'm loving my a6400 but I'm also buying an a6600 too with the 16-55mm 2.8 and use both cameras. Video is my money maker as well as music production and coming from my old a6300 these cameras are major upgrades because of no overheating, better battery life, HLG (which is so easy to grade), no record time limit, better autofocus and continued beautiful video image quality! You have been and continue to be my APS-C resource guy. Thanks!

9:16 agree on the flash. It's so useful, I really dislike its omission on higher end cameras.

Thanks so much for all your honest reviews of the sony a6000 range. It makes it so much easier deciding what to purchase. I'm going with the sony a6400!

Thank you for your honesty !

Enjoy your purchase! I was one of the "lucky ones" that bought the A6300 a couple of months before they released the 6500. Haven't been tempted by the models that followed; 6400, 6600 an 6100. None of them offered enough of an upgrade to warrant the ever more expensive cameras.

I so agree with you in all levels in your review. You just verbalized what's in my mind. Especially the pop-up flash! Great job, Athur!

Your channel is so informative, definitely tuning in to all your Sony a6 thousand ish video series before making my first camera purchase next year. I'm looking for my first entry-level (almost mid-range) camera

Hey Arthur, I enjoy your reviews. Purchased a new a6600 last month, a Nice improvement over the a6500 I had been using. One thing you didn't mention is the decreased RAW buffer compared to the a6500. I believe it's 46 images for the a6600 vs. 107 for the a6500! A big difference for action/sports shooters. I can't come up with a reason for this reduction.

It was a no brainer once the price dropped. I was about to order the A6400 but really wanted the A6600 then the price dropped and the choice was easy. I ordered mine from Adorama with a ton of extra accessories including a flash for it plus a camera bag, plus a memory card plus much more. I can't wait to get it this coming Monday!!!!!

I’m a new convert to the aps-c Sony line and for me the a6400 was a good solid move. I’m using that with my Panasonic great. The a6600 was a bit steep considering I didn’t have any lenses to go with it. Picked up the sigma 16 and 30 and have been really happy with them.

Would love to see a review of the Sigma 24-70mm f/2.8 DG DN Art Lens for Sony E Mount

Very informative and well structured content, I enjoy your channel.

Excellent vid once again! Great advice

I just got my a6600 and I love it! A perfect companion to my a7III, no question! Yes, it was pricey, but it will last several years and provides solutions to many issues I was facing. I also picked up the 10-18mm f4 with OSS, both destine for my gimbal full time. Having IBIS, plus OSS and on a gimbal, its light, easy to use and will run all day... a solid solution for Run & Gun! The colours and Picture Profiles will match the a7III and that’s great as well. Packing gear for a road trip or flight is always difficult, so having a small APSC camera like this, and still being about to use my FF lenses, but gain more reach, is a bonus. And the benefit of only needing one style of battery and charger, again, saves space. This camera has active tracking AF for video, eye AF in video, it’s a solid camera that is also great to throw in a bag with the 16-35mm f4 and I can enjoy it on the street. It checked so many valuable boxes for me, I had to make the call and get it. No regrets for the extra cost.

Patiently waiting for your 70-350 G lens review

Honestly your opinion on the difference between these two cameras is the only one I care about! I've been in the market for one of these or the 6400 and have been waiting for your verdict!!

Great job on the backgrounds mate, looks good! I tend to think these camera company's are playing games with us. It can't be that hard to make a camera that has everything we need? Or am I dreaming? Lol great vid mate, thanks.

Very informative video as always 👍🏼 Imho the price could be justified if there were control dials and a joystick like in an A7 III and maybe a newer sensor. Then it would be a small and low weight alternative to FF.

On sale today for $1199. Picked one up. Super happy!

I've had the a6600 with the Sony 35mm 1.8 and Sigma 16mm 1.4 lenses for a few weeks. Paid £1149 on e-infinity for ths body. I'm excited by it 🤗

Thanks!! I am wanting to upgrade from the 6300 and wanted to see if the jump to the 6600 was worth the money. I think I may go with the 6400 for now and see what Sony has in a few years.

Bro, you hit the nail ON THE HEAD with the way the public received the A6600. I found the exact same thing - people raved about the A6500, but weren't very excited about the A6600's features... Even despite significant improvements. I concluded that the only thing it really came down to was that people were spoiled with cutting-edge technology. They didn't necessarily think that the A6600 matched up to price and times. The overall impression which was then created towards it online was almost negative, in a way. All you need to do is step back, like you did, and see the whole picture. The A6600 is still a ridiculously good camera, and most people will not be disappointed if they choose to buy it. Cheers bro, in conjunction with a great review, you've gained another subscriber.

Love your sincerity about the Camera flash. I am not professional and I use a lot of built-in flash, I hate to carry heavy flash, put in on and take off. The shoes flash is important too, cause if the built-in flash is dead, I can use external flash if I have too instead of buying a new camera. When there is a new camera, the update must be value for it new update not to remove it's feature. Thank you so much for the clarity of this A6600 vs. A6400.

Arthur, any chance you could review the new 70-350 apsc lens? Im wondering if the 16-55 + 70-350 is a good combo to cover a wide range. Also interested how it compares to the 18-135. Thanks :)

Very nice review its very helpful, thanks sir.

Thanks for the video!!

Just pulled the trigger on tus camera after seeing it for $1198. Coming from an a6000, boy does the a6600 feel better built and more... professional. I wasn’t crazy excited about receiving it like I would anything “new” but after playing with it, I’m really excited to have it.

The pop up flash on the A6500 is so underrated.

Great review, great shots, you're very calm and a very good host. Maybe take of the sunglasses tho hah

I finally sold my A6400 last week, and bought new A6600. Love both of them and the main reason of changing is the stabilizer in A6600

Great review! I've just recently came across a few of your video's, they've all been great. You have a new subscriber! Are you from the Austin area, I noticed the Pennybacker Bridge in your video?

Now that they dropped the price, the camera is a good value, especially if you already have e-mount lenses. The bigger grip and eye autofocus make it a joy to use as a street camera and for travel. Add in a few Sigma primes that are made better with the included IBIS and you have a great kit for weddings and lower light events. I like the ergonomics of the grip much better than the Fuji XT3. It's perfect for run and gun. Compared to my A6300, I get more pictures in focus using the same lenses with the eye autofocus system and the touch screen for selecting subjects. The camera includes a wireless flash trigger which works great with an external flash. Overall, a nice package.

So how much money are we supposed to spend for the extra battery size and grip?

I have a6400 and trust me if you put on some oss g lenses, and the stabilization is just great.

@derickmoncado

4 жыл бұрын

Agreed.

another great video!

Very nicely done, bravo, I am thinking about buying it, luckily now there are few offers, I had the same doubt about the flash but I guess they've preferred to use thee weight of the flash for the weight of the battery, I hope that with the 14 bit sensor for the photo or the log profile for the video the images in low light could be not suffering latitude of pose adjustments. In my personal opinion in my Canon 7II and the previous S110 I've used in the last 10 year the inbuilt flash as fill in maybe for 10 shots, my technique of shooting is enjoing the real/continuous light. Thanks again :)

Worth noting: this camera has an ISO 50 capability which helps when shooting wide open with an f/1.4 lens. The A6xxx cameras have a fastest shutter speed of 1/4000 second which is often too slow when using the wide aperture lens, such as f/1.4, wide open for outdoor portraits. The A6600 still retains the 1/4000 shutter speed but, the ISO 50 capability allows me to shoot at 1/4000 second while getting the same exposure as 1/8000 using ISO 100...

What’s a camera you would recommend for car videos

Do you think the ibis on the a6600 would make a big difference when using Sony's new 16-50 f2.8 lens for photos and video or do you think the a6400 would be fine? I would be using the camera when traveling.

Dear Arthur, as a professional in camera may you share a little about continuous tracking between 18-105 and 16-55 on A6400? How does 18-105 team up with A6400 nowadays? Thank you very much.

I’m still love the A6000 and it is perfect for my need but with high quality lenses. I don’t do video at all. I also have the eye focus in it. :)

@Mr Tech the A6xxx Series Flash was not Sealed. So end of story here. And I also told, that the a6600 was orientented on the more proffesional market. So no one cares about this Flash Light if you pay 1000€+ for A body. The flash light in a6xxx series was always crap. Sure can be of a use, for a hobby person. But this would reather buy a6400/6500/6100 and get better Lenses. So Sony did everything right about the Camera.

Will definitely get the 6600 over the 6400 soon primarily because of the bigger battery. I also like the C3 bottom for back button AF.

Great vid!

I will be getting one of these to replace one of my 6300's, but I'm going to wait for the price to drop some. It doesn't make much sense at $1,400. If it dropped below $1,000, I think that would be enough for me to pick one up.

Hey Arthur. Good review. I don't think you wasted you money. I do have a question. Today the a6600 is $200 off and the 16 to 55 is $100 off. Do those price points make sense or is the a7iii at $1550 still a better buy?

Cool review! 👍🏻 So I can keep my A6400! 🙏

I bought one and I absolutely love it!

Any chance on doing a quick compare of the A6600, A6400 and the A6100? I like the idea of IBIS, but leaning towards the a6100.

I was hoping for more on this camera, no reason to move from my A6500, unless I go to an A7RIII.

Hey where is you filming location, I like old bridges

How much difference would it make compared to my actual Nikon D5600 ? (In terms of optical quality)

Arthur what’s your recommendation of a charger… rather than using the body to charge it.

What are your views on the new Sony A7C full frame? I am new to photography and trying to decide between A6600 vs A7C; please advice.

Do you recomend it for just photography or is better to buy a6100 ¿?

no pop up flash so what a are u doing in low light ???

Hi Arthur do you happen to have tried the Sirui anamorphic lens 50mm f1.8 for apsc sensors yet? That would be killer to have it tested by you.

Just picked up a A6600 on sale. Adorama. 1,198 US. Great deal! (Camera only) Also comes with many accessory.

I have the A7riii and have been considering getting the A6600 as a B cam and to vlog with since A6600 has the same fz100 batteries and colours in a much lighter body it just might be worth it

Is using non sony battery for a6400 safe enough.? Could u suggest be some good non sony FW50 batteries.

Hi, what is the difference between that digital camera wlth the Sony Alpha A7 III?. Thanx.

Instead of buying A7III buying this camera will be give us the same results then for the video? Which lens would you suggest?

Hi Arthur. Thoughts on Sony e mount 18-50 mm f4-5.6. is it better than the kit lens given with Sony a6000?

Question! Does it have live animal eye tracking... Because that may actually be worth it for me. Running dog videos in 2.8 on 200mm is a struggle

Just got the A6400 with 18-105 for $1300 including extra FW50. Prices are higher in Europe so I consider that a good black Friday deal. A6600 body only was more expensive so no regrets.

Please suggest which one is best A6400 or A 6600 ??

HI just hope it gets some stabilisation update..

I bought a cage for my A6400 and that fixes the grip problem... plus then it's easier to mount a gimble.

Hello there! How long can the a6600 with the USB power supply? I am planning to record 4-6 hours of non-stop video on 1080p 60fps at 50mb bitrate. Does the battery drain eventually while on USB power during recording? I also heard that the a6100, a6400, and a6600 do not split the file into 4gb so it one big file for the whole shoot (which is awesome). Does it overheat? If you have spare time, can you do a test on this unlimited recording option?

9:20 great review but is it Sony's best camera? don't know about that... can't forget about the a7 iii

The battery, IBIS, and grip alone make it worth $500.. I enjoyed the one I tested. Loved shooting 17 short clips at a live music performance and having 68% of the Z battery left in an a6xxx

I bought the A6100 with kit lens on sale for 748 shipped with extras to my door. The sale price pushed me over from buying the A6400 and not going to get an A6600 at that price. Just wanted the small APSC camera with flip screen and good 4K. Easily fits in my backpack for outdoors content. Might spend the savings on a sigma 16mm F1.4 for low light.

I'm still rocking sony a6300 and so far sony hasn't come up yet with anything that would made me want to upgrade. For things like grip and battery life there is plenty of workarounds. Autofocus on 6300 still works for me. Until there will be a leap in terms of video I'm good where I am :)
