this is a huge improvement from my first Sony mirrorless camera, the A6000. I already had lenses, so I purchased the body only. The ergonomics have improved, and the body is more substantial. there is also dust / water protection. I've only taken a couple of short videos, but first impressions are positive. I sold my A7III because I rarely used it, I usually grabbed the smaller A6000. For the kind of photography I enjoy, I don't miss the mass of the bigger camera, and I don't feel like I've compromised with the change to the A6400.

I've been wanting a camera for over 10 years now and finally got around to purchasing the Sony A6400. It is easy to use and understand. The lens is a great starter. Prior to purchasing, I researched lens for quite bit and this felt like the easier pairing to start to learn the basics of photography and videography.

Wanted a jack of lol trades camera that wasn’t a point no shoot for photography and videos, this camera meets those requirements easily, the battery life could be better but it doesn’t overheat and you can push it a little further while filming which is nice. There’s d3finitely a learning curve as Sony’s formatting isn’t user friendly but once you get the hang of it you’ll be fine. Purchased this on sale and in excellent condition.

I’m a beginner when it comes to pricey cameras. I’ve only ever used point and shoot cameras. My experience since purchasing the Sony A6400 is that it is easy to use and I like how compact it is to travel with. The quality is great. I use it to take pictures of family.

For an APS-C camera this is a really good choice. I've been using this for travel, wildlife, street and even pro photography. Image quality is very good when proper lighting. Video its really good as well although lack of in body image stabilization. I will recomend this to any photography lover, and any entry level photographer

I have switched between a few different cameras and this isn’t my last one but it’ll definitely stay I be my arsenal. Super easy to easy and get comfortable with! I would mention to upgrade the lens but used this one since I was short on time but for the most part, keep the ISO low and you’re golden!

The camera is very easy to use and gives great 4k quality. It is a great mid-entry level camera by Sony. The flip-up screen comes in handy if you're vlogging, but will block the mic if you're mounting one. I got the L bracket filming was a breeze would recommend to anyone trying to get a great camera for filming even takes great pictures. I shot my first youtube video with it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QB6_xCMwnX4

Amazing camera shoots high quality video and photos. Highly recommend for someone starting photography or videography. Has a lot of features to play around with. I would say the only flaw is batter runs out fast so keep extras on you or charger!!

Great camera with amazing autofocus and 4k capabilities, my only gripe is the outdated micro usb charging cable and the short battery life but that’s due to the small body format, I took some amazing pictures with a6400 and had a great time editing those pictures with my iPhone edit software and Lightroom

My older Sony 5NEX stopped working. I debated for a long time if I wanted to get another sony bc I do love Canon as I always liked the way color came out on their cameras better. But eventually ended up getting one as I already had the longer zoom lens and this camera is more compact.
Debated between this and the A6000. Am so glad I spent the extra money to get this camera that was more expensive as it had the better lens and slightly more features than the other version. I took pics during a musical for my nephew. It was extremely dark and I didn't use a flash and the pictures turned out great! and the color and clarity are excellent. Also used my longer lens for a college graduation. it captures motion/movement better than my previous camera - I used to have a lot of blurry pics before. So far I've only used it a few times - but very happy with results. Very easy for amateur to use. I am a bit of a lazy photog and mostly use auto focus.
