Those photographers seeking a more engaging or more fun shooting experience
Those with larger hands and shooters that need consistently pleasing JPEGs out-of-camera
Though it stumbles on a few of the finer details, the Sony Alpha a6400 succeeds in packing a surprising amount of mirrorless photography power into a surprisingly compact form-factor. There are compromises to be found but none of them major.And while the...
Abstract: For content creators who shoot as much video as stills photography, the α6400 packs an impressive array of tools into its compact, portable body. The highlight is undoubtedly Sony's innovative Real-time Tracking and Real-time Eye AF, that keeps your subje...
Excellent picture quality, Small and transportable, Great video quality
Battery life could be better, Image quality at high ISO's is lacking
A truly excellent camera, the A6400 is likely to tick a lot of boxes when it comes to the wants of photographers everywhere. It's small enough to be properly portable but with excellent image quality and enough power to keep photographers happy whether th...

Lightning fast, super accurate autofocus, Small, lightweight body, Generally strong all-round image quality
Some awkward ergonomic choices, No in-body stabilisation, Very visible rolling shutter effect
The A6400 is a strong performer in terms of all-round image quality, general speed and autofocus, and its small size makes it easy to live with – but we can't help feel that some of Sony's choices might be enough to put off potential buyers. The lack of...

Subject tracking AF system, 180 degree tilting LCD screen for front of camera viewing, Button and dial customisation, Great low light performance, Highly accomplished metering, Pro video outputs and control
Lacks built-in stabilisation of A6500, Top rather than side tilting screen, Screen blacks out at top burst setting, Menu system still seems cluttered, Slow start-up with power zoom, Rolling shutter issue at 4K
Faster and brighter than its predecessors, the A6400 is a great little mirrorless camera for the creative photographer and videographer. It builds on the success of its predecessors with a very accomplished focus-tracking system, fast autofocus and more a...
Astonishingly capable subject-tracking autofocus, Excellent image quality in almost any shooting situation, High level of control customisation available, Relatively compact size and decent build quality
Out-dated body design is much less pleasant to use than its competitors, Control setup is poorly-configured out of the box, 16:9 LCD screen gives small display area for 3:2 stills, Minimal touchscreen functionality, No in-body image stabilisation
The Sony Alpha 6400 is without doubt the most Jekyll-and-Hyde of all the cameras Ive reviewed recently. On the one hand, its impossible to praise its new autofocus technology highly enough – this really is a glimpse of the future. Its ability to lock on...
Fantastic AF tracking, Small size is great for travelling, Good range of accessories and lenses
Fiddly operation, Limited battery life, Viewfinder and screen using old technology
If you're after a camera that will cope with shooting a variety of subjects, Sony's A6400 is an obvious choice, if you can learn to live with its less-than-perfect handling.Sony A6400 – The rivalsFujifilm X-T30Demonstrating how to do looks and usability w...

Highly advanced autofocus, Decent burst shooting speed, Bright viewfinder, Good video features, Good value for the spec
No built-in image stabilization, No headphone jack, 16:9 aspect ratio screen
You could be forgiven for thinking that the Sony Alpha A6400 is only a minor upgrade over the A6300, with the most notable additions being the flip-out screen and a few other tweaks. It also still has some of the A6300's shortcomings, most notably the abs...
Abstract: If ever there was a company that has defined the shift from DSLR cameras to mirrorless lens devices, it has to be Sony. While the likes of Canon and Fujifilm were hemming and hawing over the idea of more compact and feature-packed devices, Sony was jumpin...
Abstract: If you're feeling limited by what your point-and-shoot can do, there are plenty of reasons to consider an interchangeable lens camera (ILC), whether it be a traditional DSLR or a more modern mirrorless model. Compared with your phone or point-and-shoot, t...
