Title: Perfect travel package
Review: Wanting to leave my more expensive gear at home for a recent cruise to Alaska I picked up the 6400 with the kit 16-50mm lens. While I’ve heard lots of praise for the 6400 the kit lens is often dismissed, but in my experience it was well above its price point. The image quality was crisp and colorful. I was so impressed that I usually left my bulky expensive lens in my cabin. Equally impressive was the ClearZoom function - absolutely usable up to 1.6x with no discernible quality loss for standard jpeg images.Battery life was also much better than my A7Rii but far short of my Canon cameras. 2 batteries basically lasted for a full day of constant shooting.Even in 2024 this is absolutely a great setup and incredibly compact and lightweight. It’ll be my summer travel camera with zero reservations.For the money it’s an incredible value and from my experience the kit lens is no slouch. Focusing was fast and spot on.

Title: Great camera!
Review: Battery life was not as bad as i have heard in the past. Its pretty decent. It is a little heavy with a lens on it so i got a strap. So worth the money! The quality of the images is top tier!

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: Crop sensor, compact mirrorless. It’s a Sony, what more can you ask.
Review: Love it. I bought another one when my first one got damaged recently, even though it’s a few years old as of 2024, lightweight and pretty small but packs a punch. Easy to learn the functions and buttons. It’s not full frame, of course, but doesn’t have that FF price tag either. Highly recommend for a first time camera. Good for experienced too.

Title: Back to business!
Review: Just awesome! This camera is just what I was hopping it will be. It is the replacement for my old A77 with no functioning lcd and my outdated but still functionals a580 and a850 fullframe. I also got the e mount adapter to work with my A mount lens collection from my Minolta times. All works great 👍🏼 . Even my old flash mount adapter workrd! I tested my HVL-F56AM and HVL-58AM flash units and both works great with the new a6400. The camera came in very good condition and well protected. It also came with the firmware updated version 2.0 A great product and great price. If you have an old lens collection and Minolta adapters this will be your best and affordable choice to go with. You will not be disappointed... Now, to have fun with it.

Title: Great travel camera
Review: I was looking for a travel camera for those times when I don’t want to lug around my full frame camera and the related gear. I don’t really do much video but it is nice having 4K video when I want it. For photography, this little APS-c camera can take some great photos. Pros: 1. Light weight and small, easy to travel and walk around with. 2 has a viewfinder ( I found many this size did not). 3. Has TTL and HSS (I often shoot with strobes and speedlites) 4. Auto eye tracking is pretty good. 5. Menu and button layout isn’t as bad as some have claimed (my other cameras are Canon and it is different) 6. Has some amount of weather protection (most cameras this size did not).Cons: 1. Battery life isn’t great (luckily batteries are small and lightweight). 2. Price…the A6400 is at least 3 models removed from the newest A series, but still in the $900’s. There are numerous other brands in the same category that are in the $550-$750 range. 3. The flip up (not out) screen is weird and takes a while to ge used to. I don’t use it much as I use the viewfinder mostly, but can see where some folks would have. A problem with it as when it is up it is directly behind the hot shoe. 4. Not great at high ISOs. From what I have seen so far, ISO 1200 is acceptable but above that it gets pretty grainy.Overall. Great little camera for the size. It was the best choice for me as it had the majority of the capabilities I was looking for in a Small travel interchangeable lens travel camera.

Review: I have a Sony A7RV full frame, with that in mind this camera does the job very well. I shoot portraits, venues and passport photos and this APSC can do all those just fine.Post production workflow is much quicker given there is less megabytes to process (from a 61 megapixel full frame to a 24 megapixel APSC). So it's a dream in that regard.A lot is said about the small size and portability about this camera. I have the Sigma 30mm 1.4 to go with this, and yes, the small size and portability is great.This camera doesn't have all the bells and whistles that my A7RV has, but that's not impeding my work flow by any means.If you're on the fence, just get it. Affordable, compact, great autofocus and actually has a faster burst rate than my A7RV.

Review: Es una cámara que tiene buenas prestaciones, diría que es un híbrido; útil para video (su único punto débil es la falta de estabilizador) y fotografía. Su cuerpo es mayormente metálico y dicen que está sellado contra polvo y salpicaduras, aunque no pienso comprobar. El autoenfoque es muy bueno y la calidad de la imagen también. El lente de kit que tiene, que es un 18-50 mm, lo satanizan mucho en la red; si bien no es el mejor, tampoco es malo. Aún así, recomiendo un lente adicional para sacarle mejor provecho, alguno de la marca Sigma puede ser buena opción, como un 16 mm a 1.4. Es una cámara que la recomendaría para gente que ya lleva un rato haciendo fotografía; el menú puede ser algo confuso, pero no es algo a lo que no te acostumbres.
