Great video. As an a6400 owner, the natural upgrade progression would be an a7iv, but I'm not seeing enough performance upgrades to warrant an upgrade just yet.

I was considering buying the A7 IV myself, but after buying the A6400 I can honestly say I love it. It's a capable camera which really holds up well to almost anything you can throw at it. I'm not regretting my purchase of the A6400 at all and it continues to be an awesome sidekick of mine.

THIS VIDEO!!! I have been looking for this video since the A7iv came out! Thank you so much for this!! Question, theoretically could I put a crop sensor lens, that I have from the a6400, on the a7iv and use it in 60fps without any vignetting or losing quality? I currently own two crop sensor lens and one full frame lens and I was working if that would possibly work?

Thank you for this video. I would love to see a comparison (maybe you've already covered this somewhere?) between the two cameras in low-light and/or low-light-high-action situations. Examples: 1) In low-light church or cathedral. 2) Sports action in gym. I'm really fluctuating between staying with the A6400 or making the leap to A7 IV, and knowing how these cameras stack up against each other would really be helpful.

Hey Cindy, no problem, glad you got use out of it :) As for your query, honestly it wouldn't be fair at all, anything past ISO 1200 and the a6400 falls apart. The only way to combat this is to have a lens like the sigma 30mm f1.4 but it isn't stabilised so you'd need a gimbal to keep the footage smooth. The a7IV though can shoot up to ISO 12800 comfortably handheld, so it'd be a clear winner. Hope this helps :)

@@cindymc716 oh well if that's the case you may be able to avoid it as much - when you said low light high action I assumed filming :) So the a6400 and the sigma trio for aps-c would make shooting low light much better, if you look them up. Basically, the darker it is the lower the fstop you need (f2 to f1.4 kind of thing). If it's photography then any of those lense with the a6400 should be fine so long as it's not too dark.

@NicBucci
2 жыл бұрын
Hey bud, So yes, "ish" of course :). To keep this reply from being the size of a book, I'll stick to the big things, firstly, no not the crop at all, Fuji for example, primarily do crop sensors, and they're still an excellent, lower resource demanding sensor to have (so more battery life etc). I'd say mainly, the lack of both native and third party crop sensor lenses, the fact it still uses the older battery (which isn't an issue, though the a6600 had the new one), the lack of features (when compared to the FF cameras) - so custom modes, dials, switches etc. and not having any IBIS. These are just the "main" things, though as I said in the video, it's still an excellent camera. I absolutely love mine, and there are situations where I would take it out as opposed to the a7IV, so I think at the end of the day it just comes down to what you're looking for in a camera :) Hope this helps mate

That sounds like a bit of a dilemma you have! The a6400 af is excellent for sure, though to pair it with that sigma lens would be tricky for keeping it stable as the a6400 has no stabilisation, so if you have a tripod then it should be ok, but if not maybe check out the a6600 as it has stabilisation in the body - hope it helps!
