Key Advantages

The alpha a6400 offers excellent autofocus speed and tracking accuracy with Real-time Eye AF technology for humans and animals, making it perfect for portrait and wildlife photography. It provides sharp, high-resolution images with minimal noise even at high ISO settings. The 4K video recording capability is robust, supporting impressive video quality with minimal rolling shutter effects. The camera's tiltable LCD screen is highly versatile for creative shooting angles and vlogging. Its compact and lightweight body design makes it convenient for travel and everyday use. With built-in Wi-Fi and NFC, the a6400 enables seamless image sharing and remote camera operation without requiring cables.

Limitations

Despite its many strengths, the a6400 lacks in-body image stabilization, relying instead on lens-based stabilization which may limit handheld shooting capabilities in low light. The battery life is somewhat limited compared to DSLR counterparts, requiring extra batteries for extended use. The absence of a fully articulating screen may be a drawback for some vloggers needing more flexible viewing angles. While its weather sealing is adequate, it is not fully dust or moisture resistant, requiring caution in harsh environments. The menu system, although feature-rich, can be complex for beginner users to navigate efficiently. Lastly, the camera does not include a headphone jack for audio monitoring during video recording, which may affect professional videography needs.
