New Sony Alpha a6400 Review [A Camera for YouTubers?]



what's going on guys I'm Mike O'Brien
and this channel is normally all about
how to grow your online influence on
YouTube or Instagram or whatever it
might be and this video right here is
going to be a gear review about a camera
that I like and I'm recommending this
but only for specific people so one of
the most important decisions you can
make when you're starting off on YouTube
for example or Instagram whatever videos
you're making is which camera is the
right one for you so it's really
important that you don't just go on buy
the most expensive one that doesn't work
for your needs or the cheapest one or
just a GoPro or whatever it might be you
really have to consider what your style
is and what you're trying to do and then
choose the camera based on that and
remember your camera is going to be your
best friend for a very long time as
you're growing your YouTube channel or
your Instagram account or whatever it
might be so it's really really important
that you choose the right camera the
Sony a 64 hundred is one that I really
like it may not be the best one for
every single channel out there so really
the objective of this video is to break
down who would like this camera who
would not like this camera as well as
the pros and the cons what I like and
what I don't like about this brand new
Sony camera so the Sony a sixty-four
hundred came out in March of 2019 it's a
very new camera as you can see I have
quite a few accessories on this one
right here but it's a full-frame camera
shoots 4k 60 has some very very
impressive specs and there's a lot more
to talk about with this camera but
before we get too far into this video if
you are new here and you're starting
your online channel whether that's on
Instagram or YouTube like I said start
now by going down and clicking the
subscribe button my brother and I have
been on YouTube for a long time and
we're trying to share our experience and
our advice and our tech reviews and
everything of that sort with you guys to
help you grow your online influence this
camera right here if you watch other
reviews people get so excited over the
same few things I'm gonna try not to
cover those too much people get so
excited over the little flip up the
little flip up screen right here I'll
zoom in and show you guys that right
there a little flip up free screen
people flip it up and they get so
excited that they can vlog but guess
what the canons been doing that for a
long time and then the next thing they
talk about is how you know when you flip
it up it's in the way of a shotgun mic
and you have to buy a cage like this one
actually link one down below it by the
way if you want to buy this cage is
pretty nice so it's kind of a little
they get excited that you can vlog with
this but then they say you can't vlog
with this unless you buy a ton of
accessories and make it really
inconvenient so for that reason I don't
know if I would recommend this specific
camera for vlogging although it may be
useful for a lot of other stuff so just
to give you a little bit of an idea of
what this looks like I shot a little bit
of b-roll over I'll show you right now
just like a quick sunset gold now our
kind of shot it wasn't super advanced
but it just gives you a quick idea of
how easy the settings are to change and
different things that you can do with
this camera

okay so starting off with the things I
really like about this camera the first
thing is the multiple white balances
that you can have in here this is
especially useful if you're shooting
videos like this one that I'm doing
right now and maybe I jump to other
places maybe if I have two different
studio walls or maybe if I have some
different settings I want to film in
it's great to have preset white balances
so you can hop around between them and
not have to reset your white balance
every single time with a custom white
balance you can just have custom white
balance one two and you know whatever
and make it much easier like that so big
plus on that with this one the second
thing that I really like is the ability
to plug in and charge continuously while
you're shooting you don't have to worry
about like right now literally right now
my camera is blinking a little battery
symbol because the Canon camera the
battery is dying and I can't charge it
while I'm filming it's kind of annoying
that's something that's really really
nice about this camera so s and Q stands
for slow and quick and I really like
this for any type of b-roll especially
for travel videos where they make it so
easy on the top wheel if you just scroll
over to s and Q right there you have
slow-mo videos so it can shoot all the
way up to 120 frames per second and you
can choose a whole spectrum of frame
rates all the way down to one frame per
second which is essentially going to be
like a time-lapse it's gonna be great
for something that you can see moving
but it's not gonna be like the type of
the time-lapse you see we're like a
plant grows or something it's not going
to be quite like that but if you want to
do that you want to use the
intervalometer on here which takes a
whole bunch of pictures now s and Q is
really great because for both of those
videos it doesn't just shoot it in 120
FPS it actually slows it down to
whatever you want so say you want it in
30 frames per second you shoot it in 120
it'll automatically slow it down and
when you take the SD card out it has
that slow-mo video right on there now if
you want to do something slower or sort
of more time-lapse II than one frame per
second there is an intervalometer on
here and you can shoot whatever interval
you want but with that you are
have to use you know some secondary
application or third-party application
that is to edit those and splice those
pictures all together into one clip so
unlike some of the older Sony cameras if
you're familiar with those this does not
have the 29 minute limit which is a
great thing if you're shooting videos
like this and you screw up a lot as
sometimes I do and my footage ends up
being like 30 or 40 minutes long I'm not
saying this one is this one's pretty
good so far but you never know it's
annoying when it cuts it and it making
you have to start up over the new video
and partially that is because it
overheats so this one is very good at
not overheating and I think a lot of
that has to do with the internal
components of course so this also has
the ability to shoot an s log 2 and s
log 3 if you don't know what that is
don't worry about it if you do that's
probably very exciting because it means
you can do some excellent color grading
with this footage now on top of that you
also have the ability to mount a quick
Sony shotgun mic right on the quick
mount on the top there which is very
convenient but of course it is going to
be blocking your screen so let's get
into what I don't like about this camera
there's not a ton that I don't like
about this camera but I think my biggest
complaint as most people sort of
complain is the screen but I think my
complaints are a little bit different so
I'm not gonna say that the full up
screen is that exciting I think some
people get too excited over that
honestly I'm a little bit concerned
about the mechanical design of it it
seems like some very thin metal I'm sure
it is strong enough but that's just me
being very cautious I'd be very afraid
of this and speaking of being afraid of
damaging the camera I kind of don't like
how when you fold it back in the screen
is always pointing out now I know that's
common for a lot of cameras but the
Canon like the SL 2 right here I really
like how you can fold it so the screen
is in and you just have you know that
plastic cover on the back so if I throw
this in my bag real quick I don't have a
cover for it I don't a case for it I
don't don't worry about the screen
getting damaged so that's one complaint
about the screen maybe that's two
actually but another complaint is
actually you know it is a touchscreen
which is very convenient but the
touchscreen isn't really as much as I
want so it's touched to focus maybe you
can change the settings for what you're
touching but it's not like a really
great way to you know for the Canon for
example you can touch all your settings
and change everything really quickly on
the touch screen this you're gonna be
changing most of your settings using
dials using the buttons on
actual camera so a little bit of a
drawback I think they could have
utilized the touchscreen a little bit
better than that but again maybe I'm
just missing a setting maybe there's a
setting in the camera that allows me to
change settings with the touch screen I
don't know
so comparing this to some of the older
Sony cameras it might be confusing
because the 63 and the 6500 both came
out you know about two years ago so it's
kind of weird that this one right now
is in between those two I'm not sure how
the numbering system works or Sony but
just to give you an idea the 6500 had
something called Ibis so IB is which
sort of a way that you could stabilize
your footage so when you're taking a
picture in low light you can have a
slower shutter speed and have less blood
now they took that out on this camera so
unfortunately there's gonna be a little
bit more jiggle with this there's gonna
be a little more shakiness in your
videos and for that reason again I'm not
really recommending this one quite as
the number-one vlogging camera out on
the market my final complaint is the
lack of a headphone jack because there's
literally nothing worse when you're
making a youtube video than filming the
entire video only to find out when you
go into editing that the shotgun mic was
not plugged in all the way or that the
shotgun mic was hissing the whole time
or that any other way the audio might be
screwed up so it's just really really
nice to plug in headphones into a camera
and just listen to it and make sure the
audio is what you expect this one you
can't do that which is a little bit of a
drawback but you can always take the you
know SD card out and plug it into a
laptop and check it like that if you
want but overall this is definitely a
very very very impressive camera so who
is this camera actually ideal for so I
have a couple groups of people that I
think this camera would be perfect for
one of them is gonna be anyone traveling
and looking for that really high-quality
cinematic b-roll or that high-quality
footage for any kind of travel videos or
any outdoor shots or literally any shots
that you want either fast or slow motion
and you want some really nice crispy 4k
and you want to set this on a tripod
those are gonna be ideal so moving
around with this vlogging maybe not the
best camera for you but definitely for
that b-roll for anything of that sort
where you're just looking to go the next
level up so maybe not a super
entry-level maybe you have you know this
like I said it's gonna be $1300 when
you're buying the lens with the camera
so a little bit pricier maybe not my
first camera
but if you can afford it I definitely
recommend this camera so who is it not
good for it's not really the best if
you're doing a simple studio just like
this where you have a tripod one
background the whole time you can
probably get by with the cheaper camera
than this one if you are looking to get
into photography and you also want to do
videography this is a great camera to
get started with so you can definitely
tackle both of those with just one
camera right here now another user who
would really like this would be anybody
who has a studio with multiple backdrops
multiple lighting situations and overall
multiple white bounces which this really
excels with I love how you have the
multiple custom white balances so you
can switch between different parts of
your studio with no problem at all so
now we're going to do a quick test with
this camera check out what the audio
sounds like what the shake looks like
what the auto focus is like and a couple
other things of that sort but here's
kind of a vlogging mode and I have the
shotgun mic right up there it's pretty
easy to walk around this is not really
that heavy of a camera I do have a
pretty big metal frame on it right now
though and of course like I said a
shotgun mic so this is what it sounds
like this is what it looks like it's
definitely a decent camera definitely
very doable to vlog with this you just
have to get the cage like I said before
okay so here is the internal microphone
this is what it sounds like and again I
took the cage off now so we don't have
any interference with the microphone
this is actually what it sounds like if
you're vlogging just with this mic now
another thing I really like about this
is on the screen I just noticed this now
they have the audio levels right there
so you can tell if your microphone is
off or if you're too quiet and the audio
levels are incorrect you can quickly
adjust that without having to film the
whole thing and then later come back
only to find out that your audio is not
what you wanted it to be
