Title: Great camera
Review: I love this camera. Light weight, and takes great photos. I love Sony. I usually shoot with my A7iv, but wanted this for my street setup. You can’t go wrong with this if you’re on a budget, but want quality photos. Pair this body with a Tamron lens, and you’re good to go for low $$.

Title: Exceptional camera.
Review: Exceptional camera. Menu system not as bad as reviews said. Does not get hot at all after a 2.5hr non-stop video at 1080p using dummy battery. Does get quite warm, in a 72deg room, when recording at 4k, but not hot. Internal mics are mediocre, but added shotgun mic and audio is excellent. This is the water-resistant AL-magnesium version, a step up from a6100; worth added expense for magnesium housing and water resistance for protection on a rainy day. Bought with 19-135 lens, pics are excellent. Only flaw is why the camera cannot output h.264 video over USB or the WiFi? Instead have to buy a hokey (price gouged) HDMI “capture” card; HDMI is already digital. Sony has h.264 compression in the a6400. It is used on videos recorded to the SD card. The new a7 will have h.265 lossless compression; too bad they were not on the ball and did not put this in the a6400. h.264 compression is several years old!UPDATE: After a year and a half, all I can say is fantastic! I am nearsighted and the red focus assist negates the need to wear glasses or use the viewfinder’s built-in diopter adjuster. I use this cam with a Laowa 9mm rectilinear lens (manual focus) for indoor pics, and the articulated screen is great for this. It allows the camera to work like a Hassalblad; holding the camera low to get the angle right (so vertical lines are parallel). One can hold the camera at waist height and tilt the screen up. With the 35-135 kit zoom, the auto-focus is excellent. With the SEL200600G, works great, but the big zoom does use up the battery, so keep a spare. Another wow factor is the digital-zoom-in-while-focusing (C1 button in still pic mode). This allows viewing the image zoomed in to get the focus perfect. Water rest mag case is the way to go too. I never worry about being out in the rain with this camera (but I do make an effort to not let it get wet anyway to be safe). probably have shot several THOUSAND pics and all I can say is “wish I had this camera thirty years ago”. Thanks Sony!

Title: Incredible Camera!!!
Review: This is an incredible camera. I went from a Nikon D7100 to this Mirrowless Sony. A great decision. Most of time it gets the exposure dead on without a gray card. I was pleasantly surprised at just how good it does. No more Nikon for me. I’m sold on Sony!!! Only drawback is there are a lot of screens to make adjustments. Not enough to give it a bad review though.

Title: Great camera with great features for a good price.
Review: I like that this line of mirrorless cameras is lightweight and is relatively compact compared to a digital DLR. As with many of the newer digital cameras the 6400 shoots beautiful video and I am especially happy with it having a stereo mini input that would allow use of high end microphones. The camera is light years ahead of the bulky cameras I used to use on commercial field shoots. Aspiring videographers don’t know how lucky they are to have tools like this at their disposal at such a low cost. Not only is the video stellar, the stills are too. I love the continuous shooting mode when shooting wildlife. Sony has a great lineup of lenses to pair with the camera and other lens manufacturers are developing lenses for the Sony E Mount cameras as well.

It’s a reliable and user-friendly option for those starting out in photography.

Review: This is one of few APS-C that does eye AF for humans and animals, which is exactly what I need and why I bought it.I wanted a camera that’s small and lightweight for taking pictures of my dog on the walk/hike. Yeah, this is my ‘dog cam’. Without IBIS can be an issue for some but most of my lenses either have the build-it image stabilizer or prime lenses with f1.4/1.8 wide open aperture, so getting reasonable shutter speed is relatively easy. The high ISO performance of this camera is only mediocre.Surprisingly, I think Sony’s menu system is great. I use the customized menu most of the time but I also never had issues finding a setting from the menu system, at least it’s not better/worse than Nikon and Canon, and it is a lot less confusing compared to Fuji’s menu, which is the worst IMO.Here are some tips for getting the most out of the A6400:1. Turn off the Picture Profile when shooting still.2. Only shoot with manual exposure, manual WB. AUTO WB is all over the place when shooting outdoors.3. Can’t trust EVF or the screen, learn to read the histogram.4. Shooting with MF lenses should pair with external monitor.5. Get good lenses and fast lenses to avoid boosting ISO beyond 1600.* Spare batteriesFor video:1. Only shoot with manual exposure, manual focus and manual WB.2. Use HLG if you are not good with colour grading, or SLOG-2 if you are. Adobe PP has the colour banding issue with SLOG-2 when pushing too far, Davinci Resolve 17 does it better.3. Make sure to turn on Project Color Management in Davinci Resolve and use Wide Colour Gamma.4. Get a good gimbal and forget about IBIS.5. Rig it out to shoot handheld and forget about IBIS.6. Use an external monitor.7. Spare batteries/dummy battery with an external battery pack.Get out and take some pictures and stop worrying about the features you don’t have.Enjoy your A6400!
