  • It has a tilty-flippy screen that flips slap bang into a hot-shoe-mounted mic but there's more to the a6400 than just a 'vlogging' camera.

    Love that it is a brilliant stills camera but would love anything longer than a 210mm E mount lens to use it for some entry level wildlife and sports. I have the 100-400 FE mount so I suppose could use that but love that on the A7iii. Anyone know if the will be releasing longer e-mount lenses anytime soon? Or is the rumour that they will eventually move all cameras to full frame more true?

    I use an a6000 and 55-210mm kit sony lens and I just can't auto focus, it will only sharpen lets say the eye of the bird and none of the feathers. I also as a result manual focus and lose my shot half the time as bird has flown away. How is the a6400 with the 70-350mm focus and the sharpess of getting the whole body of a bird?

    @PhilipKnopp 5 років тому +1

    I think the missing stepping stone is a metaphor for choosing camera equipment! You get out in the middle of the practice of photography, and you take pause...then you have to take a chance to keep going. And in the end you get bogged down (the mud...) but you have to keep going. The A6400 seems like a good choice for those of us using something like the A6000, which lacks the quick and sticky AF. If you have lenses with OSS then you can excuse the lack of IBIS. But I am just an amateur...without deep pockets! And the cage idea is brilliant!

    I don't like the fact that when this came out so many people value the camera after it's vlogging capabilities. That's just wrong. Thanks for sharing more than other on this camera.
    For a person new to photography most videos just are so negative and basically tell you that you need IBIS and a flip screen, I bet it's really misleading to amateurs.
    Also I had to pause at 8:58 and wipe something up real quick.
