The A6400 is not much of an upgrade over the A6300, other than the flip-up screen. It retains many of the pluses of its predecessor, like fast shooting speeds and 4K video, along with the disadvantages, including a lack of in-body stabilization and excessive rolling shutter.

Sony A6400 Review
The new Sony Alpha A6400 is a camera with something of a split personality. On one hand it has the best AF system that Sony offers on any of their cameras, including the much more expensive full-frame models, but on the other it inherits the now dated design of the original A6000 model with its...

Sony A6400
Sony's A6400 camera occupies a sort of middle-ground between its top-of-the-line a6500 model and the accessible, ultra-cheap a6000. It features an APS-C-sized sensor and is aimed at the enthusiast, budget-conscious photographer.
Pros:
- Fantastic AF tracking
- Small size is great for travelling
- Good range of accessories and lenses
Cons:
- Fiddly operation
- Limited battery life
- Viewfinder and screen using old technology

Sony A6400 Review
The Sony A6400 offers fantastic specifications for the price and features. Highlights include excellent auto-focus tracking, a compact travel design and a diverse set of compatible accessories and lenses. Were it not for minor issues with its handling and battery life this would be one of the best mid-level mirrorless cameras around.
Pros:
- Fantastic AF tracking
- Small size is great for travelling
- Good range of accessories and lenses
Cons:
- Fiddly operation
- Limited battery life
- Viewfinder and screen using old technology

Finally something that I can move to from my DSLR
Love the size and weight. I had a a6000 but it couldn't match my DSLR for focus speed and tracking. Now, this is as good, maybe better. The usability of the bigger camera is still better due to the size, but this will be my new go to camera, especially for travel.

Sony A6400 review
For bloggers, vloggers and independent content creators, the Sony A6400 is a dream. Its still image quality is very good, its 4K video is even better, and its 180-degree screen and eye-detect AF are perfect for single-handed video capture.
Pros:
- 180-degree screen for vlogging
- Terrific if complex AF
- Very good image quality
Cons:
- Limited external controls
- Interminable menu system
- Dated rear screen and EVF

Sony Alpha A6400 review
However, with Sony equipping the Alpha A6400 with some of its latest tech, most notably the advanced AF system, this camera could actually prove a more tempting proposition than the top of the range A6500, a camera that's now more than two years old.
Pros:
- Highly advanced autofocus
- Decent burst shooting speed
- Bright viewfinder
- Good video features
- Good value for the spec
Cons:
- No built-in image stabilization
- No headphone jack
- 16:9 aspect ratio screen
