The Sony a6400 is a compact APS-C mirrorless camera for travellers, vloggers and photographers moving up from a phone or an older DSLR. Three things define it: a 425-point phase-detection autofocus system that follows moving subjects well, bursts of up to 11 frames per second, and 4K video at up to 30p. At 403 g it is light, but it has no in-body stabilisation, so steady handheld shots depend on stabilised lenses. Next to the a6600 it gives up in-body stabilisation and battery life (about 410 shots per charge against 810) in exchange for a smaller, lighter body.
