    5/5 Backpacking, 4/5 Portrait Photography

    Bought this camera for two reasons - backpacking and portrait photography. Backpacking: 5/5 -Weather resistant. I bought this camera over the older 6000 models because the material felt more durable. -Very lightweight! I added a Peak Capture Clip to my backpack for easy access and it worked out amazingly. -Focal range on the 16-50mm included lens is great for landscapes -Love the flip-out screen for selfies -Fantastic auto-focus! This was a huge step-up from my Canon Rebel T6 DSLR. Portraits: 4/5 -Color science is not as strong as Canon cameras. There is a slight green tint to all my photos. -Eye tracking is FANTASTIC. I can count the lashes on my clients for most photos. -Included lens is good (but not great) for indoor light scenarios. Lower apertures (f/1.8 - f/3.5) have worked better for me in eliminating noise indoors. -You'll probably want to get a better lens for portraits For the pricepoint, it's a great deal. The downsides for this camera are really just that you don't get a full-frame and there is no IBIS. You'll need to keep crop-factor in mind when purchasing lenses.

    I am not a professional. I’ve always loved taking pictures, but decided to invest into my first camera. I was told by many photographer friends that they always end up falling in love with Sony, so I decided to give it a try and I’ve LOVED it. I’m still learning. But it’s so easy and user friendly! Shooting in automatic is pretty simple and straight forward, but I’ve loved learning manual mode. If you’re a beginner, I would recommend this camera-as long as you are good with technology. Don’t get me wrong, as great and fun as this experience has been, it takes trial and error and time to understand features and work around them. So don’t expect to just suddenly be a great photographer. My final review, 9/10, even 10/10! It’s a 10/10 when you purchase lenses for it (besides the kit it comes with). (The picture attached is a quick shot I took of my dog when first opening the package. Just to show the quality of the photos at first shot)

    Love this thing. I already own the Sony a7III and this is the perfect companion to it. It does not have IBIS, but that's a small trade-off for the awesome price. The video is also awesome. Up to 120fps 1080! My only two gripes are that it charges via micro B, and it doesn't have a headphone jack. (It does have a mic jack, though!)

    All I have to say is Wow! This camera rocks. If your looking for a more than decent camera that doesn't break the bank, this is it. I would have to say that this is a beginners camera for the professionals. Everything at your fingertips. Easy to navigate. Does not overheat. You can record as much as your SD card allows you too. I mean the list goes on and on. Do yourself a favor and stop hesitating and purchase this camera. You will thank me later.

    Sony a6400 Review: A Game-Changer for Photography

    |

    Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Having been an avid photography enthusiast for years, I've had my fair share of experiences with a variety of cameras, each with its own set of pros and cons. However, it wasn't until I discovered the Sony a6400 that I truly felt I had found a camera that not only met but exceeded my expectations in every possible way. From its compact design to its unparalleled performance, the a6400 has been a game-changer for my photography journey, and here's why. Build Quality and Design Right out of the box, the Sony a6400 impresses with its robust and compact design. Its magnesium alloy body not only gives it a premium feel but also ensures durability, a feature that's essential for someone like me who's always on the go. Despite its small footprint, the a6400 feels perfectly balanced in my hands, and its ergonomic grip makes it comfortable to use for extended periods. Autofocus Performance The autofocus (AF) system on the a6400 is nothing short of revolutionary. The camera's 425 phase-detection and contrast-detection points cover almost the entire frame, providing lightning-fast and accurate focusing, even in challenging lighting conditions. The Real-time Eye AF and Real-time Tracking technologies have been a boon for my portrait and action photography, respectively, allowing me to capture tack-sharp images of dynamic subjects with ease. Image Quality Sony's color science has come a long way, and the a6400 is a testament to that. The images produced by this camera are vibrant, detailed, and rich in color. The 24.2 MP APS-C sensor, combined with the BIONZ X image processor, delivers exceptional image quality, even at high ISO settings. This has allowed me to shoot in a variety of lighting conditions without worrying about noise or loss of detail. Video Capabilities As someone who dabbles in videography, the a6400's video capabilities have been a pleasant surprise. The camera supports 4K recording without pixel binning, resulting in stunningly detailed footage. The addition of S-Log2 and S-Log3 profiles offers great flexibility in post-production, allowing me to achieve cinematic looks for my videos. The 180-degree tiltable LCD screen has been a game-changer for vlogging, making it easier to frame shots when I'm in front of the camera. User Experience Sony has done an excellent job in refining the user interface on the a6400. The menu system is intuitive, and the customizable buttons and dials allow me to tailor the camera's controls to my shooting style. The inclusion of Wi-Fi and NFC connectivity makes transferring images to my smartphone a breeze, allowing me to share my work with the world instantly. Conclusion The Sony a6400 has been an absolute joy to use. It's a versatile, high-performing camera that suits a wide range of photography and videography needs. Whether I'm capturing portraits, landscapes, or action shots, the a6400 has consistently delivered outstanding results. Its compact size, coupled with its robust feature set, makes it an ideal camera for both amateurs and professionals alike. In my opinion, the a6400 represents the pinnacle of mirrorless camera technology and is a testament to Sony's commitment to innovation in the photography world. If you're in the market for a camera that offers both performance and portability, the Sony a6400 should undoubtedly be at the top of your list.

    Slight renewed to the photo industry. Previous to using this camera I use to take pictures witt my camera phones. I purchased this camera with the expectation that it can do things that my phone cannot. It has done above and beyond with wonderful expectations of capturing moments that my phone could not. I highly recommend purchasing this camera. Also the benefit of it allowing me to share immediately with friends and family is something that I extremely love by capturing within the moment. It’s easier to use and I like the multiple options i get you in terms of accessories. You will not be disappointed.

    The 6400 is the way to go for the more affordable aps-c series. It’s got the best benefits of the series with a lower price tag than the higher series models. Flip out full rotation screen, fixed color profile and viewfinder (which the zv-e10 lacks). Truly a great lightweight and versatile travel camera with many options to help you capture whatever it is you’re looking for.

    Beautiful camera. Lightweight while feeling solid in hand. Great quality. As this is my first camera, it isn’t the absolute easiest for a beginner. However, although there is a learning curve involved, there are very many resources online that give you step by step instructions on using the camera. Very pleased with this product.

    I have tried traditional DSLR and mirrorles one's This camera exceeds my expectations in terms of performance. Great RAW pictures and so much detail that i can edit in later. Sony Imaging Edge, nice software but should have masking features as well. Lens collection and options is also good. I use the prime lens from Sony F1.8 50 mm. Superb performance overall. Battery life without flash lasted around 500 shots. 4k is absolutely amazing and B rolll shots using 120 fps is nice For more photos Insta Handle - techloose
