I bought the kit lens 16-50mm to get an idea of what the shots will look then I bought Sigma (16mm 30mm 56mm) lens those are really good, also have Sony 18-105mm since that one has image stability. For zoom Sony 55-210mm with TCON-17X tele converter, usually tele converter hurt image quality but not that one makes its image sharper.

Sigma has better bokeh and feels/looks better and is smaller and lighter. Also much cheaper.
Tamron is larger and more plasticky but has better sealing; has multiple gaskets. Sigma iirc, has none. Also has optical stabilization, which is a big benefit seeing as this doesn't have IBIS. Has worse bokeh though and you lose a bit of FOV on the wide end. But much more range on the long end.
Both fairly even in terms of optical performance though.

What do folks think? Maybe wait until 2023 to see if Sony updates to a new APS-C model?

4k 30FPS 1080 120FPS (a6000 = 1080p 60fps)
S-LOG (a6000 = none)
Clean HDMI (a6000 = none)
Unlimited Record (a6000 = 30min)
Flip up screen (a6000 = none)
If you only take pictures keep the a6000, but if you shoot video the S-LOG alone is the selling point because it gives it better low light performance, by overexposing 18% Grey to 55% slog-2 to M.M +2.0 blinking, you can keep doing this 3-4 stops overexpose to get even more low light performance (reduce noise) at the loss of highlights https://www.alisterchap
The upgrade to this camera I would say is the FX30 $1800

(The promo ended on December 25, FYI, although a few straggler deals might remain out there.)
Regarding the A6400 vs. the a7iii, the latter has a larger sensor and so will perform better in low-light situations. The a7iii also has lens stabilization built into the camera body, whereas the A6400 does not. There are other significant differences, as the a7iii is another level of camera (with another level of lenses). However, the a7iii is also a larger camera and at least twice as expensive.

Sony's lack of announcement on whether or not we get ANY new APS-C bodies in 2023 is frustrating. If they release a new model within a year, I will personally be much happier waiting to get that instead and using the heck out of the new/hopeful features as I transition back into doing paid work on the side.
