Sony Alpha 6400 | APS-C Mirrorless Camera with Sony 16-50 mm f/3.5-5.6 Power Zoom Lens & SEL-85F18 Portrait Lens Fixed Focal 85mm F1.8 Full Frame Suitable for A7, ZV-E10, A6000

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.

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.

My first interchangeable lens camera having had a couple of Nikon bridge cameras. Superb picture quality, extremely fast auto-focus, tracking and excellent build. Plenty of online reviews about the extensive features menu but after plenty of use you'll get used to it.

I have had the camera for well over a year, and although there are the small things that bug me or could be improved, I don’t care… put simply overall this is an outstanding camera for taking pictures. A real step up from my previous Sony NEX-5, which was impressive in its time. The photos are amazing. The autofocus is something else with it’s speed and general accuracy, and, has a host of modes to ensure pictures are in focus. If you can’t face the menus it take excellents photos in Auto mode. But, if you take some time to get used to the menus and settings, the results just get better! Highly recommended.

Undoubtedly one of the best budget friendly APSC beginner camera!ProsOutstanding autofocus: The Sony A6400’s autofocus is lightning-fast and incredibly accurate, ensuring you never miss a crucial moment.Compact and lightweight: Perfect for on-the-go shooting without sacrificing image quality.Impressive image quality: Produces sharp, detailed photos with vibrant colors, thanks to the 24.2MP APS-C sensor.Tilting touchscreen: The tilting screen is a game-changer for capturing creative angles and navigating menus effortlessly.4K video capabilities: Delivers stunning video quality with excellent detail and color reproduction.Cons:Limited touchscreen functionality: While the touchscreen is useful, it falls short in terms of full functionality, lacking features like touch-to-focus in certain modes.Battery life: The A6400’s battery life may leave you wanting more, especially during extended shooting sessions.Overall, the Sony A6400 is a top-notch camera for enthusiasts and professionals alike, offering an impressive combination of speed, image quality, and portability. Just be mindful of its minor quirks.

I was so excited to receive my camera! But so disappointed when I realized the two cords it came with are none that I can use without the right AC adapter. 1st picture is what I received, 2nd picture is what I need. Now I have to buy that too and wait even longer to use it.

Great quality! Good camera to learn on while still being professional quality. I think this will last our son a very long time!

Kullanımı kolay,sokak fotoğrafçılığı için ideal ,herzaman yanımda .

Ho acquistato questa fotocamera perché avevo bisogno di qualcosa di piccolo e pratico da portare sempre con me.Il pacco è arrivato puntuale e ben imballato, all interno della scatola erano presenti tutto gli accessori descritti tra cui cavo di ricarica, fascia per appenderla al collo e i vari libretti di istruzioni.Registrandola al sito sony ho avuto anche l’estensione della garanzia.Ma passiamo all’utilizzo.Non è semplice ed intuitiva come altri marchi(arrivo da canon) ma una volta capita è una bomba, autofocus eccezzionale, scatti perfetti in qualsiasi situazione di luce, l’obbiettivo compreso nel lit fa il suo lavoro, meglio di quello che mi aspettavo.In conclusioneNote positive- Piccola e compatta da portare dove si vuole- Foto eccezionali anche in modalità automatica- Va bene come camera entry level ma anche per i più espertiNote Negative- un po’ pesante soprattutto se si cambia obiettivo- batteria di poca durata- utilizzo non intuitivoIn ogni caso consiglio l’acquisto a chi vuole avere quella fotocamera con un ottima risoluzione e professionale ma allo stesso tempo qualcosa di maneggevole e conpatto

Zamówiłam aparat i otrzymałam aparat ze śladami użytkowania, zwróciłam aparat, czekałam 13 dni na przetworzenie zwrotu przez Amazon po to, żeby otrzymać jeszcze bardziej używany aparat. Aparat miał być na wyjazd, który będzie za kilka dni więc bardzo nie polecam.
