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!

The Sony Alpha a6400 is a solid entry-level option. I bought it thinking it would be amazing for my sports photography, and while it was good, it wasn't great.Pros:Good for Landscapes and Portraits: This camera excels in capturing beautiful landscapes and portraits.Compact and Lightweight: Easy to carry around, making it great for travel and on-the-go shooting.User-Friendly: Perfect for beginners or those new to mirrorless cameras.Cons:Not Ideal for Sports Photography: I realized this after upgrading to the Sony A7iii, which is much better suited for fast-paced action shots.Overall, the Sony Alpha a6400 is a great entry-level camera, especially for landscapes and portraits. It’s a reliable and user-friendly option for those starting out in photography.

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.

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.

The Sony Alpha a6400 is an exceptional camera for both enthusiasts and professionals. Its impressive autofocus system is quick and accurate, ensuring you never miss a moment.

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.

Adorei a câmera. Demorou um pouquinho pra chegar em virtude dos Correios, mas super legal. Acompanha Corpo da câmera, alça, lente, tampas da lente, base e cabo carregador, bateria. Gostei muito. Vendedor confiável. Chegou impecável e lacrado. Recomendo.

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!

The a6400 is an amazing b-camera (secondary camera). I use it for a 2nd or 3rd angle when filming. The 4K 8-bit image you get is excellent. Find a good angle, set the camera up, and forget it. There is no recording time limit and the autofocus is fantastic. If you want to use manual focus, buy a small monitor and you're set. Yes, there are other cameras that are slightly better. But are they $900? No, and their benefits will probably not be worth the 2-5x price tags they command. I recommend getting a USB battery and a cage to attach it to, so you never run out of power. The only problem you might have is if it's 100 degrees, I don't know if it will run for an hour continuously. And if you want to move around with the camera, use a gimbal.

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!
