Key Advantages

The A6400 excels in autofocus performance with 425 phase-detection points and real-time Eye AF, making it ideal for portrait and action photography. Its APS-C sensor delivers excellent image quality and dynamic range. The camera's 180-degree tiltable LCD touchscreen enhances flexibility for vlogging and selfies. It offers 4K video recording with advanced heat dissipation to allow longer recording times. Robust build quality with weather-sealing ensures durability in various conditions. Additionally, the camera has customizable settings and Wi-Fi with NFC for easy sharing and remote control.

Limitations

The Sony A6400, while feature-rich, has some limitations such as the lack of in-body image stabilization, which may require stabilized lenses for handheld shooting. The battery life is moderate, offering approximately 360 shots per charge, which might require carrying spares for extended shoots. The absence of a headphone jack limits on-the-fly audio monitoring during video recording. Its autofocus system, though excellent, can occasionally struggle in very low-light situations. The design lacks physical weather sealing for full protection against harsh environments. Also, the camera's menu system can be complex and may have a learning curve for beginners.
