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.

Sony a6400 review
The Sony a6400 is a near-universally capable midrange camera that offers some of the best autofocus performance we've ever seen, backed up by solid image and video quality in most situations. We'd really like to see some further refinement on ergonomics, as Sony has done with its full-frame models over the years, but the a6400 remains an excellent option for a variety of types of photography.- Family and social photography, fast action and sports, world travelers and anyone looking for the best autofocus bang-for-your-buck.
- Those photographers seeking a more engaging or more fun shooting experience, those with larger hands and shooters that need consistently pleasing auto white balance in their JPEG shooting

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.
