Still one of the best value enthusiast cameras in the UK. It lacks stabilisation and a modern articulating screen, but for photographs it delivers results well above what the current price suggests.

Our take

Sony A6400 review: the enthusiast APS-C camera that refuses to date

Fast, reliable autofocus in a small, tough body. The A6400 has been a default recommendation for years, and falling prices have only strengthened the case.

What we like

  • Quick, dependable autofocus with eye detection
  • Compact and solidly built with weather resistance
  • Excellent 24MP APS-C image quality
  • Widely available new and used, often discounted

What to watch

  • No in-body image stabilisation
  • Screen tilts up and is blocked by an on-camera microphone
  • Menus are dense and unintuitive
  • Kit lens is uninspiring

Quick answers

Is the Sony A6400 still a good buy?

Yes, particularly on price. The 24MP sensor and autofocus system remain thoroughly competitive for stills, and years of discounting have made it one of the best value ways into a decent interchangeable lens system.

Does the A6400 have image stabilisation?

Not in the body. You can use stabilised lenses, but handheld video and slow shutter speeds are harder work than on the A6700, which does have it.

A6400 or A6100?

The A6400 has a tougher, weather-resistant body and a better viewfinder. The A6100 is cheaper and shares much of the same core performance. If budget is tight the A6100 is a bargain; if you shoot outdoors regularly, spend the extra.
