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.

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 in-body stabilisation, the upwards-flipping screen potentially being blocked by an external mic and the very noticeable rolling shutter appearance in videos are all black marks against an otherwise impressive camera. None of them make the A6400 a bad buy, but they do mean you might be better off with another mid-range model.

The Sony A6400 offers fantastic specifications for the price and features.

Were it not for minor issues with its handling and battery life this would be one of the best mid-level mirrorless cameras around.

It’s great that Sony has put the work in on the autofocus system for the A6400. It’s something that can really help photographers of all levels. Real-time Tracking aside, it’s not quite as fast or as reliable as the AF system in the Sony A9, but it’s very good, especially for a camera that is set to...

The Apple iPhone 14 is no match for the just-released iPhone 14 Pro, but if you ignore that, it’s one of the most effective phones around.

Great cameras, front and back, Fast performance, Good battery life, Innovative safety features

Design too familiar, Some average features

The iPhone 14 isn’t much of an upgrade over the iPhone 13, but it’s still a great device and an upgrade for anyone coming from the iPhone 11 or older.

Great camera, Good battery, Emergency features are cool, Still excellent performance

Display could use some upgrades
