A6400

The A6400 brought Sony's real-time Eye AF to the APS-C lineup and hasn't left anyone's shortlist since. The 24.2MP sensor, 4K video from a 6K readout, and a 180° tilting screen make this a serious contender for vloggers, content creators and photographers upgrading from a smartphone.

✅ Great For
🎬
Vlogging & Video 180° flip screen and real-time face/Eye AF make solo vlogging genuinely effortless.
🌆
Street Compact body and fast AF make street shooting easy. No IBIS means using faster shutter speeds handheld.
👤
Portrait Eye AF locks onto subjects instantly and doesn't let go. Pair with the 85mm f/1.8 for stunning results.
✈️
Travel Compact enough to pack without thinking. Limited by lack of IBIS and single card slot on long trips.
⚠️ Not Ideal For
🦅
Wildlife Animal Eye AF helps, but no weather sealing and limited burst buffer make it a compromise for wildlife.
🏔️
Landscape Capable resolution but no weather sealing limits outdoor use in tough conditions.
