My last mirrorless camera was an Olympus, this is so much better and the quality of the images and the feel of the camera way out performs the Olympus OM-D II that I owned before. I was slightly hesitant with so many options but I am really happy with the Sony A6400 and the lens. It feel good in the hand and takes a great image.

The Sony a6400 is a fantastic mirrorless camera with a 24.2MP sensor, offering excellent image quality and superb autofocus with Real-time Eye AF and Tracking. It’s perfect for both photography and video, with 4K recording and a flip-up screen that’s great for vlogging. Overall, it’s a solid, versatile choice with great performance for the price.

I use this camera for professional object photography, and have found it great. Easy to change modes and fine tune each picture, but it’s also a great performer on full auto in a hurry. It’s a lot bulkier than I anticipated from photos, so it’s about as portable as my previous Canon DLSR. Great value for money, and in terms of its specs this is as good as it gets for photography in its range – I don’t use it for videography, so the only reason I’d upgrade to a better Alpha model is if I needed it for that. 5 people found this helpful

Having switched from Nikon to the Sony A6000 three years ago the change to this camera has been easy and intuitive. The stand out feature is the real time eye a/f and subject tracking. Most of my photography is people and portraits so this feature is a game changer. It nails the focus every time even when the subject is running. I have tried it with the 50mm, the 18-105 and the shots taken with my Batis 85mm have better subject isolation than any photograph I have ever taken. I took shots of my friend’s son doing skate board tricks and it didn’t miss once. The colour and contrast of the jpegs out of the camera look great. I only use raw on more formal portraits that I have to spend some time on in post. Video works very well and, in video mode, you can customise the stop/start to the shutter button (or any other) instead of the awkward dedicated button. Lot’s of people on Youtube are moaning about the lack of IBIS and the flip screen being obstructed when using an external mic. I’m sure IBIS will be featured on the a6500’s replacement later this year at a much bigger price tag. There seems to be inexpensive work-arounds for the mic. position. I do my best to stay behind the camera, not in front of it so this does not effect me. I am very happy with my purchase and it’s good to see that Sony haven’t ignored their aps-c customers. I was saving for an a7iii but this camera will do just fine. 32 people found this helpful

Before I go any further, I want to let you know that I am a complete beginner. All my current knowledge comes from 1 month of heavy researching camera reviews, etc. So if you are interested in a newbie’s perspective, here you have it: I initially wanted to get the Canon M50, since it was more user/beginner friendly, but i never liked how the faces were all too smoothed out in every single video. That was for me a deal-breaker and I turned my attention ( and budget) to Sony A6400. In my mind it was a little bit hard to justify spending £1000 just on the camera alone, but now that I have got it …. it goes beyond words. This thing is way sharper in pitch black with just the laptop’s monitor on my face than Canon is broad daylight. I mean … I just looked at the footage and a genuine WOW came out of my mouth. In regards to Sony’s proverbial complicated menu (as opposed to Canon’s) I will say this: it’s not as bad and complicated as some reviewers make you think. The fact that it has “my menu” feature is game changing and helps me a ton as a beginner, since I will always have the most important settings right at my fingertips. If you want to use it as a webcam as well, you do not need the ElGato Cam Link necessarely. All you have to do is install Sony Remote App onto your computer and then add that Window Capture into OBS. The only downside is that you have to have the remote app maximized in order to ger the footage in OBS. It doesnt have to be on top, but it has to be up and not minimized on the taskbar. Video and photo quality is just insane, with loads of features as you already know. What makes me happy is that changing from one mode to another is really easy and once tou get the hang of how the dials work in each mode …. you are good to go (it took me about 4-5 hours as a complete beginner who just got his first ever camera). Battery life is okay, i managed to keep it up for 4-5 hours of intensive use (menus, settings, video recording on and off, loads of photos). If you are planing a full day’s use, then get 2 more batteries, just to be on the safe side (if you are doing a lot of video). I have shot 38 minutes of 4k video in a quite hot ambient and this thing was just mildly warm, so definetely no overheating issues. In the end I will say this: if you can afford it, get it with no second thoughts. You can use it to produce amazing content, learn both photography and videography and grow into it. Kit lens is more than fine, Since it has a decent apperture and some reach / focal lenght to it, so it’s ideal to start learning with. 134 people found this helpful

August 2024 Style Name: ILCE6400LB.CEC Pattern Name: ILCE6400LB.CEC It’s portable and very easy to use! But everything can be adjusted if you want to get really technical like a proper photographer. As someone starting out in photography that wants great shots, easy autofocus and the option to customise lenses this is perfect!
