Q: QuestionHow long can this camera continously record? I'm looking for a dslr for streaming(3 answers)
A: AnswerThe Sony A6400 no longer has a recording limit, so theoretically you can record until the battery dies or SD card fills up. I've heard it does have a tendency of overheating when recording in 4k 30p @100MBPS, which isn't surprising because its a small body with so much tech. But I assume it'll be fine with 1080p at 60fps and 120fps.Answered by JathporXD

Overall excellent camera
Coming from a canon sl1, this adds a number of features that I wanted. Wireless connectivity, better focusing, fast shooting, compact body. I wasn’t super excited about moving to an entirely different lens system but at least there are TONS of e mount lenses. It’s actually one of the reasons I chose this over the Nikon z50. The 18-135 lens option is fantastic. You should either go for this one or body only and pick up your own lens. The 18-50 option is kinda meh. I picked up that lens secondhand due to its tiny size and totally regret it. The 18-135 is better in every way and gives you an extremely versatile focal length. I have had 2 issues. Occasionally when I tap the screen for focus tracking, it gets stuck and won’t cancel so I have to switch focus settings to get out or turn it off and back on. It only takes a moment and since I’m not a professional this doesn’t severely impact me in any way but if this camera was my income I’d maybe send it back. The other thing is the janky Sony imaging edge mobile app. Wish Sony would invest in making that experience better. Everything else about the camera is fantastic. Incredible autofocus, insanely fast burst, lens options, surprisingly comfortable body, compact for travel. There’s a lot to like and I plan on keeping it for a while.
