Key Advantages

The Sony a6400 boasts exceptional autofocus capabilities, including Real-time Eye AF and Real-time Tracking that ensure sharp focus on moving subjects. Its 24.2MP sensor paired with the BIONZ X processor produces stunning image quality and excellent low-light performance. Video enthusiasts benefit from 4K UHD recording with advanced features like Slow and Quick motion. The 180-degree tiltable LCD screen facilitates easier vlogging and selfies. Robust build quality with dust and moisture resistance adds durability for outdoor shooting. Additionally, built-in Wi-Fi and NFC enable convenient image transfer and camera control via smartphone apps.

Limitations

While the Sony a6400 offers excellent autofocus and image quality, it lacks in-body image stabilization, relying on lens stabilization instead. Battery life is moderate, limiting longer shooting sessions without spare batteries. The camera does not feature a headphone jack for audio monitoring during video recording. Its menu system can be complex and may have a learning curve for new users. The camera is not weather-sealed to professional standards compared to higher-end models. Finally, the absence of a fully articulated screen might restrict certain shooting angles for some users.
