This is my 3rd a6xxx series camera.
||Posted . Owned for 11 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.After I killed a6000 and a6300, I got this a6400 about a year ago. Compared to older model a6400 improved focusing speed and accuracy. The battery life is maybe little bit better but not good. My ald a6300 was over heati g and shut off when I shot 4k. But not this one. Small and light enough with 10-18mm f/4 or Sigma 16mm f/1.4 for gimbal. I use more this camera than my full frame a7iii.

Powerful and versatile mirrorless
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Sony A6400 is a powerful and versatile mirrorless camera that delivers exceptional performance in a compact form factor. As an avid photographer, I had the opportunity to use the A6400 extensively, and I must say it left a lasting impression. One of the standout features of the A6400 is its autofocus system. With 425 phase-detection autofocus points and 0.02-second acquisition speed, this camera locks onto subjects with remarkable precision and speed. Whether you're capturing fast-moving action or shooting portraits, the autofocus performance is truly impressive. The A6400 boasts a 24.2-megapixel APS-C sensor, which delivers stunning image quality with excellent detail and accurate colors. The camera's low-light capabilities are also commendable, thanks to its ISO range of 100-32000 (expandable to 102400). It performs admirably in challenging lighting conditions, minimizing noise while retaining impressive clarity.

Phenomenal camera at a great price!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Absolutely beast of camera if you’re looking to get into photo and/or video. Great for beginners and experienced shooters alike. Down sampled 6k footage to give very crispy 4K video. Improved color science for photo and video really looking good on skin tones. Flip up screen for vloggers. Improved autofocus rivaling Canon.

Excellent Camera
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Camera has been very good, definitely an upgrade from the Rebel T7i I had been using previously. Silent shooting is a great feature for stage photography which is most of what I do. Only draw back is the menu system is unnecessarily confusing.

User Friendly
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My husband just recently switched over from a Canon which he has used for years to Sony. He was nervous as it has such a big menu option, but the reality is it's so user friendly. He is able to shoot manually and make adjustments on the fly, and the pictures these take are amazing.

Favorite Camera!!!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love this camera so much I bought a second one. I actually like using this for video more than my a7iii because of the flip up screen and how small and light it is. The only downside is the battery is not as good as my a7iii but they are small and easy to carry multiples.

Unlimited 4K video
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this camera as an upgrade from my Sony a6000. Why purchase the a6400??? This is the only camera in the apsc lineup that shoots unlimited 4K video and does not overheat. If you're into podcasts or long video conferences this camera is a beast. Most digital cameras have a 30 minute video recording limit otherwise they would be taxed as a camcorder and would be more expensive. Somehow this camera got around that. I purchased a full frame Sony A7C recently so this camera is now my B roll camera and backup. On a side note, if you decide to go full frame, the Sony A7C also records unlimited 4K video and that is why I chose that camera. Regardless of what Sony Mirrorless camera you purchase, it will be a solid investment. I've been shooting Sony since 2016 and will never buy a Canon or Nikon.
