Customer Ratings & Reviews

Works amazing! Perfect gift for someone who was starting to get into photography. Plus the pictures are so pretty! Takes awhile but play around with different settings to see what you enjoy

This was the camera that started everything for me. Ive had it for just about two years and until now I’ve never had a problem. It works well with all extra equipment and the quality is still amazing. I learned the ins and outs of this camera and it made my transition to better cameras flow easily. For anyone who is just starting or wants decent quality for a reasonable price this camera is without doubt your best route of approach !

Mostly based on prior experience with Sony a7: To cut it short: a6400 is MUCH BETTER! When I bought my first camera (Sony a7), I had limited money and was too caught up in the idea of getting a full frame camera to be a “real” photographer. Although the a7 with the kit lens did take good photos, it is unbeatable to a6400 that has so much more features. (not to mention cheaper lens options!) If you’re trying to decide between this or older versions of full frame (since they’re similar budgets), I would definitely recommend this one (unless you want to take a lot of night pictures—a7 does slightly better in low light, but even so, you should save up to buy the a7s or something better given that you’re already going to spend 1k on these…for amateurs like me though a6400 is perfectly fine even for night photos) Some features that I love on the a6400: -SHARP images (the sharpness of a6400 kit lens is no where near the a7 ones) -and thus GREAT AUTOFOCUS (tracking focus even in video) -versatility of 18-135mm kit lens (honestly if you were to just use a single lens this would do mostly everything for you) -silent shutter!! (Underrated feature, since I didn’t realize at first how inconvenient it was to NOT have it on the a7) -in-built flash -flippable screen! (for that selfie) -touch screen (only in shooting mode-you can touch what you want to focus on) And if you have some extra cash to spend on, buy the Sigma 16mm F/1.4 (takes ultra crisp images + perfect bokeh) I couldn’t be any more happier with my current lineup of Sony a6400 + 18-135mm kit lens + Sigma 16mm lens. My only complaint for the a6400 is the horizontal banding/rolling shutter in some photos (esp under artificial light/ silent shutter mode). If buying, I suggest you look it up to see how you can prevent it. Even if you’re starting out or already a professional, I would definitely recommend this camera.

Love the animal auto-eye focus available in a download. Features galore. Short life battery so get spares. The glass side of the flip screen is always exposed. Canon M-50 allows you to hide the screen side. Stunning clarity with the 18-135mm kit lens. SD card is not that easy to extract. Overall, well worth the money. Canon and Nikon are playing catchup in the auto-eye focus area.

Beautiful camera! Sharp images easy to pick up and use. Very compact and part of the daily carry.

Very nice stability. Captures amazing detail with 135mm lens. Good for beginners and more advanced photographers. Works well in super cold conditions. Weight is very light and portable.

[Employee of bestbuy] Honestly. It is a very good camera. Highly recommend a bag and a tripod. But very easy use. Good pictures. I will say alot of it has to go down to editing. Raw, photos are going to be very hit or miss, editing will help you make em better!

I love the Sony Alpha 6400 series camera. Lightweight, versatile and allows me to get good quality shots!

First of all, I have to say that this is my first camera. I have owned it for about a two months and I am still learning to use it. This camera offers many possibilities and it has a good auto mode for those who start using it without any time to read the instruction manual. The IQ is good, the size is adequate for traveling it feels high quality and sturdy. Picture and video quality is top notch, and Lighting fast auto-focus no regrets so far.

It's light, easy to take everywhere. The photos have excellent quality and it is easy to transfer the files to the cell phone.

The Sony A6400 is a mini beast. It does great photos with flash and has pretty clean video capture capabilities and settings. I was told that it is a beginner or content creator’s camera, but it has outweighed the little credit it gets. I feel like I’ve skipped a few steps while still catching up with learning photography and videography. The availability of a grip makes it even cooler and ergonomic. It is a pretty awesome camera!

Excellent camera, the lens gives you a lot of options to play with and the battery life is excellent. They told me when buying that it might get overheated after recording for 30 minutes, however, I have noticed that usually stops after an hour and 10 minutes which I think is a great time.

it is super good camera for colorful , not heavy and use very easy

Within a few days of release Iv had the opportunity to take this camera to Havasufalls and recorded a 2hr speech a 3 days later. Have yet to be able to edit the raw pics from the falls because of the Lightroom update has yet to come. But very hopeful because of the ease of use. Battery consumption overall have been good. I didn’t not come from a previous model so I can not comment on the comparison. Tilts screen very useful. I don’t mind the hot shoe placement. Timelaps feature was a little hard to et used to. But after a few tries. It became faster and faster for me to came changes. Have already recommended this camera for the price. And Sony is over delivering in my opinion. Glad I stayed with Sony.

I use this for live streaming, vlogging, and hobbyist photography. I love this camera and the quality shots and video i get from it. Its also small and easy to travel with

This is a great beginner camera easy to learn and very great images for the lens and camera quality

As a beginner, this is the best camera to start out as a photographer. I love all of the diverse features this camera has and the built quality is amazing!!

Exactly what I was looking for- good for entry level hobbyist. Easy to use between user manual and readily available information on the internet. Included lens is find for where I'm at as far as learning how to use a digital camera rather than my phone, and can be upgraded in the future. Durable- I bring it hiking all the time.

I’ve been using the **Sony Alpha a6400 + 18-135mm OSS** and honestly it exceeded my expectations. The autofocus is insanely fast — it locks onto eyes and faces instantly, even in movement, which makes portraits and family shoots effortless. The image quality is super sharp with beautiful colors, and low-light performance is way better than I expected from an APS-C camera. The 18-135mm lens is the real all-arounder: wide enough for landscapes and beach sessions, but also perfect for tight portraits without changing lenses. For video, the 4K is crisp and the flip-up screen makes framing yourself incredibly easy. Lightweight, reliable, and powerful — this camera feels like a professional tool in a small body. Perfect for photographers who want serious results without carrying a huge setup. Highly recommended.

This camera is one of the best purchases I’ve ever made. I took a film class in high school and wanted a camera similar but still nice and a good price range. It fits all of those requirements and exceeded my expectations. The camera takes amazing pictures even just with the basic lends, and takes awesome videos. I can’t wait to mess with it more and be able to take more videos and pictures.
