Pros: Build quality, autofocus, versatility, tropicalization, lightness, compactness, electronic shutter, good workability of RAW.

Cons: Absence of stabilization, viewfinder, ISO sealing, rolling shutter.

Opinion: I had this camera for over 4 years and it was a really nice "gym" with which I started to devote myself to amateur photography in a satisfactory way. Pick it up and you already have a decent feeling of sturdiness, with a magnesium alloy body and a decent grip, certainly enough for most users. I mainly did street shots in black and white (almost always shooting in RAW and converting) but also family shots, portraits, parties and events, sometimes landscapes. I have always been satisfied with the workability of the files and I have taken shots that I am still very fond of. The jpegs, with the right adjustments, are decent and usable (even if the skin tones sometimes make you suffer). The autofocus needless to say is a bomb, I have always shot continuously and I have never had problems, compared to the a6000 that I had previously owned the leap forward is absolutely remarkable. The dynamic range is good, not exceptional, however among the many pearls of the camera there is the highlights exhibition mode that allows you to put the highlights in the range without burning them and which is excellent for creative shots such as silhouettes etc. The ISO hold is good up to 1600, I don't feel like recommending to go further, even if in B/W I have sometimes reached 2500/3200 with acceptable results. The burst is good (11FPS), the rolling shutter with electronic shutter is very bad and is really very intrusive. However, I used the ES a lot in normal lighting conditions but avoiding scenes with artificial lighting (presence of dark bands). The screen (touch and flip-up) but above all the viewfinder are of mediocre quality and make you suffer in bright conditions: you could have done better. I have rarely made videos but the a6400 has excellent color profiles that can be customized among other things also for jpegs; honestly, however, I didn't use them much because I found the special menu not very intuitive (although I know of creators who have managed to get good "recipes" similar to those of other brands). It was precisely the difficulty of having good shots in the camera that eventually made me switch to Fujifilm, and now I have an XM5 and an XT30 II that are practically perfect for my needs. The Sony was excellent and reliable but it no longer gave me the desire to go out to photograph and in these cases there is little to do, you have to change. Ultimately it is a machine that still in 2025 for me is excellent especially for beginners / enthusiasts or as a second / third emergency corps. For some things, however, it begins to feel the weight of its 6 years and that is why I recommend taking it used with a shot count of less than 10 thousand and not paying more than 650/700 euros. Vote 9.

Pros: Compactness, weight, autofocus, build quality of the camera body, screen articulation, small integrated flash, ease of use, beautiful jpeg colors, burst, infinite lens park, price of both new and used

Cons: Lack of stabilizer, grip, not very resolute viewfinder, barely sufficient LCD screen resolution, battery, SD card compartment, micro USB, lack of an external battery charger, menu abbreviations (but only in Italian)

Opinion: For those who want to approach photography in a more serious way while not spending so much, I consider this camera a best buy! On Amazon, only the body, you can often find it for € 750, while for just over € 800 you can get it with 16-50. I don't think there are any other cameras with these features at that price. It is very versatile, easy to use and extremely compact and lightweight. A real gem! These features combined with the superlative autofocus are what prompted me to buy it at the expense of the excellent XS-10 which unfortunately I could not find new for less than 1000€. The only real lack I felt is the absence of stabilization which, if you want it, remaining in the new APS-C segment of SONY, you have to shell out 1000€ and buy the a6600, but losing the integrated flash which, to me, saved the photo on some occasions. The other defects listed are to be considered but are negligible in my opinion, we are still talking about an "entry level" product in the mirrorless world and I believe that SONY itself has deliberately sacrificed some details to keep the dimensions and weight compact. So, if you are looking for a compact, versatile camera with excellent image quality and construction at an affordable price, I believe that the a6400 is the best choice.

Pros: Autofocus

Cons: LCD, viewfinder. (See opinion)

Opinion: I've been there for a few days, hired to make videos for YouTube. The reason for the purchase is for the autofocus: finally an autofocus like ... Commands! As for video quality it is excellent but I preferred the Panasonic 'pasta'... but by a very small margin. Excellent Raw and excellent shots that in my opinion are, in terms of color, slightly cooler than Panasonic. I don't like the LCD, I preferred the one with side opening but it's okay too. The viewfinder, I don't like that too placed on the left side but I think it's just a matter of habit. However, a "9" deserves it all: the quality is there and it's tangible!

Pros: Autofocus, weight and dimensions

Cons: Battery, ergonomics leave something to be desired

Opinion: I bought this Sony to have a more compact body to carry me for light rides that makes up for the shots with the smartphone, I also own a Sony A7III and a Canon kit consisting of the 6D and 5D3 that I did not sell as I would have lost a lot of money. What can I say: in addition to the portability and the low weights as there is a Zeiss Batis 25 mm / f2 mounted it does not make me regret the Canon 6d, in comparison apart from the autofocus that on the reflex is embarrassing compared to this one, the files it returns are really excellent and very workable in post production especially in the shadows. I noticed an important difference compared to Canon SLRs, that by shooting underexposed I can manipulate the file better. That said, it doesn't make me regret the old Canon SLRs, owning the A7III my eye is used to the colors it churns out compared to Canon. Unfortunately there are some cons of which first of all is the ergonomics compared to a ff, I have to get used to it, the battery does not last long, the luck that when I bought it in the kit there were 2 other original batteries inside and to finish, shooting in AV I find the wheel uncomfortable and off-center to vary the apertures. As I think it will be just a matter of habit, but you can't have your cake and eat it, somewhere even Sony to produce such a small and compact ML has had to sacrifice some functions making them uncomfortable. A piece of advice I can give if a user decides to switch from Canon SLRs to Sony MLs is to pay a fee to read the manual well and also take advantage of the network because the menu and the various sub-menus are complicated, but after a couple of weeks of fiddling with them in the end they are quite simple.

Pros: Autofocus, portability, weight and bulk, raw files

Cons: Battery, lack of joystick

Opinion: I took a step back from ff sony to apsc for the weights and dimensions of the machines. This "small" apsc is an excellent all-rounder that allows you to have good quality files (the ff you know is better). The autofocus is really good and precise difficult to make mistakes. The iso tightness is acceptable and if one is not a professional and wants a machine x have fun this will never disappoint. The only lack I feel (having had a7riii) is the joystick which in some cases is fundamental.
