Key Advantages

The Sony Alpha a6400 excels with its impressive autofocus system combining 425 phase-detection points and real-time Eye AF for superior focus accuracy. It offers a high-resolution APS-C sensor that produces sharp, detailed images with excellent dynamic range. The camera's 4K video capability with full pixel readout delivers exceptional video quality. Its compact and lightweight design makes it highly portable for everyday use and travel photography. The 180-degree flip-up touchscreen is highly versatile, ideal for selfies and vlogging. Additionally, fast continuous shooting at 11 fps ensures capturing fast-moving subjects with precision.

Limitations

Despite its many benefits, the Alpha a6400 lacks in-body image stabilization, requiring stabilized lenses to compensate for camera shake. The battery life is moderate, often necessitating extra batteries for extended shooting sessions. The camera's menu system can be complex and has a steep learning curve for new users. It does not feature a built-in flash, relying on external flashes for additional lighting. The viewfinder resolution, while good, is not the highest in its class. Lastly, the camera does not support dual card slots, which may be a limitation for professional users requiring redundant storage.
