Good Deal!
Everything came in packaged well and works fine. Amazing camera. The strap bag could be a bit bigger/better quality but it's still useful.

?? A Journey Through Costa Rica with the Sony a640
As someone who cherishes capturing life's moments, I sought a camera that could keep up with my adventures. Enter the Sony a6400-a sleek, lightweight companion that proved to be more than just a tool; it became a gateway to preserving memories. ?? First Impressions in the Rainforest On my first day in Costa Rica, I ventured into the vibrant rainforest. Amidst the lush greenery, the a6400's fast autofocus locked onto a toucan high in the trees. A quick press of the shutter, and the image was crisp and vivid-a testament to the camera's capabilities. ??? Versatility in the Field Throughout my journey, the a6400's adaptability shone. Swapping lenses allowed me to capture the expansive views from Arenal Volcano with a wide-angle lens. The dynamic range was impressive, rendering colors rich and true to life, even in challenging lighting conditions. ?? Evening Reflections As the day ended, I reviewed my shots from the balcony. Each photo not only showcased breathtaking scenery but also encapsulated moments of wonder-the proximity to wildlife, the sound of waves crashing, and the sunset painting the sky. The a6400 didn't just take pictures; it captured memories. ?? Final Thoughts The Sony a6400 exceeded my expectations. Its compact design, fast autofocus, and impressive image quality made it an invaluable companion on my travels. For anyone seeking a reliable camera that delivers both performance and portability, the a6400 is a choice worth considering.

Loving the sony a6400 - If you get a kit lens, get the 18-135 if possible
I have really enjoyed using this camera so far. It has been some time since I have owned a nice camera and we decided to purchase one for some upcoming traveling to capture some nice memories. The camera itself feels like it is pretty easy to use, and for learning to use it the 16-55 kit lens has been fine, but I do agree with the sentiments of others that it leaves something to be desired. I do wish I had spent the money to get the 18-135 kit lens instead. I do have 2 lenses on the way to work with on the camera next and look forward to what i can get out of those. I also appreciate how lightweight the camera is yet it still feels solidly built. The menu system felt a bit overwhelming at first, but after watching some tutorial videos and researching what the settings do, things are starting to make sense. I feel like the out of the box settings for just taking a nice picture of the scene works pretty well, I am excited to see how some of the scenes will look with the new lens. The pictures I am attaching are the ones i took out during my first and second session using the kit lens. I will try to remember to update after i get some pictures with the new sigma lens i have coming in. These were taken as jpegs from the camera and have not been edited.

Sony a6400 with 18-135 OSS Lens - Great Combo.
The camera arrived on time and was well packaged. The Sony a6400 is a major upgrade from my Nex 6, especially with the 18-135 mm OSS The lens. While I still use my other lenses, I find this to be a great all around combo. The focusing is fast and accurate, even on fast moving objects like low flying aircraft. I am quite pleased with this purchase.

Great purchase
My first Sony camera and first mirrorless - I'm a DSLR holdout, but so far I love it. I find the menu fairly easy to use. I have the 16-55mm kit lens and the results have been extremely pleased. I bought a TTArtisan 25mm manual lens too. With Sony's peaking feature I've been able to take very sharp pictures. Ive been shooting primarily in manual mode. I'm not into video (yet) so I can't speak to that aspect but the photography features that I've been exploring are first rate.

Good bundle - highly recommend the good bag included
The camera body is great and there are plenty of reviews online for that. For this bundle, I will say that I was impressed with the bag included. It is just large enough to carry camera with my Sigma 18-50 F2 lens with space for spare batteries, zip pocket for my ND filter and microfiber cloth. Also has a space for a battery pack for my phone for traveling. Well designed so that the zip for the top pocket faces towards your body for security too. Other components of the bundle seem good as well but not as well used as the bag that was included.

Great camera with great possibilities!
In the past, I had the Sony Nex and the A6000. I decided to try the A6400 and I am very pleased with the camera. It's small and lightweight and I really love the eye tracking. I wish it had IBIS but the A6600 is way more than I wish to spend at this time. The 18-135 jack-of-all-trades lens is pretty good and I'm glad that it was part of the kit. Now, I am looking to add a few more lenses. If you are interested in this style of camera and are fine with APS-C then this camera may be a great choice for you.

Such a high quality camera
Camera takes stunning, professional looking photos. Has been taking amazing shots of nebula and open clusters in our telescope (not long exposures). Captures color and light really accurately in manual mode. I never felt the urge to use a viewfinder with a digital camera but this one is actually extremely good. Its really everything I wanted in a camera.

Easy enough to set up
This is the day after it arrived. My hands aren't as steady as they used to be so I am pleased with the quick autofocus. I have accessed the online help page and it is showing how to get around. In a month I will be able to writ a more meaningful review, but you know how one is nagged to immediately write something when you register your product.

Sony A6400 - Great Camera
This camera does so much more than my old Canon 7D ever could. More megapixels, no video recording limits, tilting screen, and super light weight. It's a No Brainer if you want a great camera with just enough bells & whistles to keep anyone happy!

Had to Upgrade
just brought this camera home and I had had the sony a6000 previously for 4 years of tun times but it's malfunctioning and I'm headed on a trip of a lifetime so I upgraded to the a6400 but....none of my Play Memories apps will work, angle shift, time lapse, motion shot,picture in picture.....none of them:( There is also on one Auto and the a6000 had intelligent auto and superior auto. I don't know why Sony leaves things off of new models instead of adding to them.

Easy to use and set up. I used a few YouTube videos for helping with explaining each setting. The only thing that doesn't make sense and will hopefully be fixed in future updates is the human and animal eye recognition. You have to go in manually to specify which one your getting ready to photograph each time. It would be nice just to point at either and the camera automatically knows which is which. Animals and children wont wait for you to fumble your way through the menu to set the human o...

Great camera. upgraded from the a6000
Sony Alpha a6400 Mirrorless Digital Camera Body
Sony’s latest technological advancements are showcased in the new Sony Alpha a6400 Mirrorless Digital Camera. This lightweight camera is the midrange model Sony offers to both professionals and casual users who want to boost the quality of their work. The a6400 is a major improvement from its predecessor in terms of build quality, and boasts a 24.2MP APS-C sensor and a BIONZ X image processor, giving it an ISO range of 100 to 102,400 when capturing still images. It now comes with Sony’s fastest autofocus acquisition at 0.02 seconds and has 425 phase-detect AF points, allowing for better accuracy and more image area coverage. It also features "Real-time Eye AF" and "Real-time Tracking," which combines AI algorithms with autofocus techniques to yield better image and video quality. The a6400 can shoot bursts at 11fps while still having continuous autofocus. It can capture 4k footage at 30p and comes with a fully tiltable 180-degree LCD touchscreen. This degree of flexibility, along with its lightweight build, makes the a6400 attractive to on-the-go photographers, videographers, and vloggers alike. Available lenses include the E PZ 16-50mm f/3.5-5.6 OSS Lens and the E 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 OSS lens.
α6400 - Grab the Best of Life
Despite its compact size and light weight, the α6400 delivers speedy performance and a range of features you'd expect from a full-frame model. Whether you're taking still shots or movies, creative compositions or everyday selfie shots, you'll enjoy beautiful images that you'll want to share, on the go.
Why α6400?
- Speedy, reliable autofocus
- Real-time Eye AF, Real-time Tracking
- Incredible image quality
- 4K movies and pro-level features
- Smart operability
Unparalleled AF performance is the key to beautiful shots
Fast and accurate autofocus lets you capture fleeting moments in stunning detail, thanks to a combination of innovative technologies. A total of 425 phase-detection AF points work in conjunction with contrast-detection AF to achieve a remarkable 0.02 sec* speed, while High-density AF Tracking Technology follows even erratically moving subjects.
*Based on Sony research, measured using CIPA-compliant guidelines, and internal measurement method with an E 18-135 mm F3.5-5.6 OSS lens mounted, Pre-AF off and viewfinder in use.
More accurate autofocus in dim lighting
Highly accurate autofocus is now possible even in dark settings, thanks to advances in the AF algorithm. With this model, the lower limit on the AF detection brightness range has been reduced to EV-2* when in AF-S mode.
*At ISO 100 equivalent, F2.0 lens
Enhanced Real-time Eye AF supports portrait shooting
Real-time Eye AF detects and autofocuses on the eyes of your subjects when you half-press the shutter. Either the left eye, the right eye, or auto can be specified, and when AF-C is set, it maintains a stable focus even when part of the face is hidden, the face is backlit or the subject is facing downwards.
Easier manual focus with an improved peaking function
The camera's peaking function color-highlights the most sharply focused section of the entire image area when you're using manual focus. Blue has now been added to the display's other peaking colors (red, yellow and white) to improve the visibility of the focus peak areas when you're doing the delicate focusing required for macro or portrait shooting.
Real-time Tracking* reliably maintains focus
For sporting events and other situations where your subjects are moving quickly, keeping them in constant focus can make all the difference between catching an important, dramatic moment or missing it.
*Will be activated when [Tracking] is set in the [Focus Area] menu.
A new subject-recognition algorithm holds onto moving subjects
A newly developed subject recognition algorithm processes spatial information based on color, subject distance (depth), pattern (brightness), and face and eye information at high speed in real time.
Seamless transitions from body to face and eye tracking
When shooting a distant person in motion, the tracking system captures the whole body, and the focus area will seamlessly change between the face and the eyes according to the condition of the subject.
Simply touch and track
Once Touch Tracking is set in the menu, select your subject simply by touching the monitor. For either stills or movies, the camera will begin to auto-track the subject.
Enjoy beautiful, remarkably detailed images
Thanks to the large sensor and the latest image-processing engine, you can shoot whatever you encounter in your everyday life, with beautifully crisp and clear images and natural colors, even in low-light settings.
A 24.2 megapixel* sensor plus enhanced image processing engine
The APS-C sensor features copper wiring and enhanced circuit processing that aid in boosting light collection efficiency. In conjunction with the image processing engine, this helps achieve superior image resolution and more natural depiction of textures.
*Approx. effective.
Cleaner images even in dim light
Improved noise suppression has led to cleaner image quality, even in dark scenes where high-sensitivity shooting is required. The native ISO sensitivity has increased to a maximum ISO 32000 (with expanded ISO sensitivity at a maximum ISO 102400 for stills). Noise reduction is particularly effective in the frequently used medium-to-high sensitivity range.
Natural-looking images that match what you see
Image-processing algorithms inherited from full-frame cameras have led the way to more lifelike color reproduction. Human skin tones look more natural, and reproduction of plant colors has also been improved.
Creative movie production
From full-pixel readout without pixel binning enabling high-resolution 4K movie recording to HDR (HLG)* and S-Log/S-Gamut** options and Slow & Quick Motion recording***, the α6400 is loaded with advanced capabilities to support your movie-making creativity.
*Connect this product to an HDR (HLG) compatible Sony TV via a USB cable when displaying HDR (HLG) movies.
**S-Log2 and S-Log3 are premised on processing pictures.
***Sound recording is not possible. A Class 10 or above SDHC/SDXC card is required.
High-resolution 4K recording
Slow motion (up to 5x) and quick motion (up to 60x) can be recorded in camera in high-quality Full HD, and no PC-based post-processing is required to view your slow-motion and quick-motion footage. Additionally, high bit-rate recordings of up to 100 Mbps in Full HD can be used to create high-image-quality slow-motion movies in post-production.
Steady, precise AF tracking for better movies
Fast Hybrid AF brings high speed, accuracy and tracking performance to meet the stringent autofocus demands of 4K movies. AF tracking sensitivity can be adjusted for either stable focus or responsive refocusing, depending on the nature of the scene, and Touch Tracking lets you initiate tracking of a moving subject simply by touching the LCD screen.
Create time-lapse movies

The Touch Pad function allows you to smoothly move the current focus position while you're looking through the viewfinder. Simply slide your finger across the monitor until you find the desired point you want to focus on.
Touch Focus and Touch Shutter
When you want to shift the focus, even to the periphery of the frame, Touch Focus does it with a simple touch to the monitor. With Touch Shutter, you can set the focus and trip the shutter with a single touch.
Touch Tracking turns on Real-time Tracking at any time
With the Touch Tracking function you can simply touch the monitor to activate Real-time Tracking for either stills or movies. The camera will instantly lock onto the target subject and keep it in constant focus.

This exciting new capability employs artificial intelligence based object recognition to detect and process eye data in real time, resulting in improved accuracy, speed and tracking performance of Eye AF. In all autofocus modes, the camera now automatically detects the eyes of the subject and activates Eye AF with a half press of the shutter button, and when in AF-C or AF-A mode, the preferred eye (left or right) of your subject can be selected as the focus point. Choices include Auto / Right Eye / Left Eye, and a Switch Right / Left Eye function is able to be assigned to a custom function as well. This exciting new technology completely frees the photographer to focus solely on composition with full trust that focus will be tack sharp on the subject's eye. Eye AF support for animals will be added in summer 2019 via a system software update, ideal for wildlife photographers.
Also debuting on the 6400 is Sony's newly developed "Real-time Tracking." This mode utilizes Sony's latest algorithm including artificial intelligence (AI) based object recognition and processes color, subject distance (depth), pattern (brightness) as spatial information to ensure that all subjects can be captured with excellent accuracy. Additionally, when photographing or videographing humans or animals, face and eye position information is recognized by AI and the subject's eye is monitored in real time with extremely high tracking precision. This can be activated by a simple half press of the shutter button , or can be assigned to a custom function as well.
In terms of overall shooting speeds, the new camera can shoot at up to 11 fps with full AF/AE tracking while utilizing the mechanical shutter, and up to 8 fps with full AF/AE tracking while silent shooting. It can shoot at each of these speeds for up to 116 frames JPEG Standard / 46 frames RAW compressed, greatly increasing the chances of capturing the perfect moment.

AE tracking sensitivity can be adjusted to "High", "Mid" or "Low" during interval shooting, allowing for reduced changes in exposure over the shooting interval.
Additionally, for the first time in Sony APS-C mirrorless camera, the new model includes an HLG (Hybrid Log-Gamma) picture profile, which supports an Instant HDR workflow, allowing HDR (HLG) compatible TV's to playback beautiful, true-to-life 4K HDR imagery. Further, both S-Log2 and S-Log3 are available for increased color grading flexibility, as well as Zebra functionality, Gamma Display assist and proxy recording. The camera can also record Full HD at 120 fps at up to 100 Mbps, allowing footage to be reviewed and eventually edited into 4x or 5x slow-motion video files in Full HD resolution with AF tracking.
Upgraded Build to Maximize Versatility
