Sony Alpha A6400
Sony's Alpha a6400 is not a full-frame camera but it has plenty of features you'd associate with one. This makes this APS-C-format mirrorless camera a great choice if you’re serious about photography, but shopping within a set budget.
Full-frame autofocus
The autofocus system has the same technology as Sony's full-frame models, such as the renowned a9. 425 phase-detection AF points, and 425 contrast-detection AF points, cover around 84% of the image area. This combines with a BIONZ X image processing engine that lets you attain focus in just 0.02 seconds.
Indelible images
The BIONZ X processor plus a 24.2MP APS-C image sensor equals enhanced image quality and colour reproduction. Yet again, the Alpha a6400 has full-frame capability in this department, with image processing algorithms suppressing noise and preserving image resolution.
4K Movie Recording
The Alpha a6400 is fantastic for movie-making. The 4K UHD recording process results in high-quality 4K video footage with sharp detail and excellent depth. Vloggers like the camera for this very reason.
Shoot it your way
Shoot with greater freedom, thanks to features like the 180° 3.0" LCD tiltable flip screen with 921,600 dots of resolution; this allows for effective framing of selfie-style shooting for still and video capture.
A look at the lens
The lens is one of the most important features in any camera, and it's a standout in this model. The E 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 OSS lens spans the wide-angle to medium telephoto range, and is partnered with a 27-202.5mm equivalent zoom and Optical SteadyShot image stabilization feature, which vastly reduces camera shake during handheld shooting.
A newer model Sony Alpha A6500 was released in October 2016.
$1,122.00 - $1,799.00

Finally something that I can move to from my DSLR
Love the size and weight. I had a a6000 but it couldn't match my DSLR for focus speed and tracking. Now, this is as good, maybe better. The usability of the bigger camera is still better due to the size, but this will be my new go to camera, especially for travel.
Fantastic camera with leading technology in focusing
This camera goes with me every where , its portable yet very powerfull , its dynamic range matches tho to Nikon d750 a professional camera , yet its focusing a million times faster .
Over the past 18 years of digital photography, I went from point and shoot digicams to a Nikon D40 to a Pentax Kr to a Sony NEX-5N and then a NEX-5T. I always liked my Sony NEX cameras, but the picture quality indoors and jpeg colors weren't exactly amazing.
Before I go any further, I want to let you know that I am a complete beginner. All my current knowledge comes from 1 month of heavy researching camera reviews, etc. So if you are interested in a newbie's perspective, here you have it: I initially wanted to get the Canon M50, since it was more...
Ordered this camera ahead of my vacation after reading the good reviews about it. When I got it, right out of the box, on my first attempt to take a picture I got a "Camera Error" message and camera froze.
Besides getting used to the Sony Menu format, this camera is AMAAAAAAAAAZING (in my best Huel Howzer Voice). I've been a die hard Canon fan, but not anymore. I ordered the body by itself and then purchase it with Rokinon 12mm F2 manual lens and the Sony G Lens 18/105 F4. RAV power extra batteries.
Superior image quality for its class, but there are some limitations
I'm still learning the menu system - it is vast and not all that intuitive to me, but it seems like the camera can do a lot. The few photos and videos that I have taken were pretty amazing.- Vast array of features
- small form factor
- front-facing LCD option
- decent wide angle zoom kit lens
- least overheating issues of any 6000-series camera
- amazing auto-focus prowess
- impressive enthusiast support
- class-leading image quality
- under $1000
- Unintuitive menu structure
- too small to be entirely ergonomic
- complex LCD articulation that still doesn't serve as well as a flip-sideways design
- no real documentation (not even to the point of explaining the meaning of the many icons)
- awkward power zoom control
- lingering heat issues
- short...
Feature packed camera, however....battery life
Purchased 3 weeks ago, haven't had any issues. It's a feature packed camera that is hard to beat for the price range. I'm sure you've researched all the features and capabilities it has. It's a good buy. My only gripe with this camera is the battery life. It's terrible.
Sony A6400 Mirrorless Camera Body Only ILCE6400B review
Sony Alpha 6400 is a great video camera and not because it can shoot in 4K. Every camera does that now....
