Great camera for both beginners and professionals
||Posted .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.

Great Camera For Beginners
||Posted .Owned for 1 month when reviewed.I purchased this camera for a family vacation in the Caribbean. I was able to capture all our special moments. It had a flip screen which allows you to see exactly what your filming. Surpassed my expectations, might even take up some photography classes just to maximize my understanding of all the features of this camera.

Lots of camera for $900.
||Posted .Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.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.

My first DSLR/Mirrorless camera
Posted .This is my first purchases of a "real" camera, and I couldn't be happier. The price was a bit of a shock, but this camera had more features than the similarly modeled Sony cameras for my purposes. The 18-135 zoom lens is great for wide angle AND telephoto shots. I know that I have a lot to learn before I can really take full advantage of this camera, but so far I am very impressed! I also purchased the 50mm 1.8/f lens and really like the photos I've taken in my first day with the camera (even with my crappy apartment lighting).

Q: QuestionHow long can this camera continously record? I'm looking for a dslr for streaming
Asked by Quietmint.
- A:Answer The 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.
