The A6400 body is made of a magnesium alloy, which makes it solid but lightweight. The grip is rubberized for better holding. It feels very sturdy. Size compared to the Canon 7D MkII and the Ricoh GR III

Among interchangeable-lens digital cameras equipped with an APS-C image sensor as of January 2019, based on Sony research, measured using CIPA-compliant guidelines, and internal measurement method with an E 18-135mm F3.5-5.6 OSS lens mounted, Pre-AF off and viewfinder in use. The most notable uses are casual shooting, street, travel, and documentary photography. It is useful for situations where you need a highly portable but capable camera. Firmware 2.0 was released for the α6400 on 13 June 2019, introducing animal eye AF, the ability to use the wireless remote commander RMT-P1BT, as well as claimed stability improvements.The latest version of Imaging Edge “Viewer” and PlayMemories Home desktop applications are required For bloggers, vloggers and independent content creators, the Sony A6400 is very good. Its still image quality is first rate, its 4K video is even better, and its 180-degree screen and eye-detect AF are handy for single-handed video capture. Even so, its high-tech image capture is poor consolation for its five-year-old design and limited external controls. The Sony A6700 and A6400 both feature high-resolution LCD screens, which can provide a clear and detailed view of the scene. The body is quite small so there’s only space for one memory card, and it’s slightly surprising that it’s a UHS-I type rather than the faster UHS-II. The A6400 does have a fairly substantial battery, though, with a life of 360 shots when using the viewfinder and 410 shots using the rear screen.

This autofocus system covers approximately 84% of the image area and is sensitive down to -2EV. It also boasts Sony’s already legendary Eye AF system, both in single-shot and continuous shooting mode, and Eye AF support for animals is due to be added in summer 2019.There are options in the camera to change the color calibration to a degree. This won’t replace the versatility you have with RAW processing software, but it’s better than nothing. The Gamma Display Assist function is not available for monitoring on external displays and television sets The Sony A6700 and A6400 both deliver superb video capabilities, although there are a few notable differences:

The tripod mount is placed far away from the combined battery/card door. So you can easily exchange batteries and memory cards even when the camera is on a tripod. It’s placed in line with the center of the lens mount, so creating seamless panoramas is easy.

But be aware that the kit lens is not weather sealed. To have full weather sealing, you have to use one of Sony’s high-end lenses or third-party weather-resistant lenses. The size and weight of a camera can be an important consideration for photographers who plan to travel or carry their camera with them for extended periods of time. Another sunset shot to show the depth of colour the A6400 can capture. Using the dedicated 'Sunset' mode was less successful, though, and messed up the colours rather than enhancing them. When we came to find rival cameras for the A6400 we realised it doesn’t have many direct competitors – in fact its combination of 24-megapixel APS-C sensor, built-in viewfinder, 4K video and 180-degree screen are pretty unique.

In terms of physical design and connectivity, the A6700 also offers a multi-function hot shoe, which has been designed to work with a range of Sony’s accessories. It also provides faster transfer speeds over a USB C port and more reliable Wi-Fi connectivity. The E-mount has a very short flange distance of 18mm. This means that you can adapt lenses designed for non-mirrorless systems to any E-mount camera, including the A6400. For better or for worse, the a6400 handles just like the a6300 before it. And the a6000 before that.

Ultimately, both cameras provide a good level of durability and weather resistance, it would depend on your specific needs and shooting conditions. For video shooters, a welcome change for the α6400 was the removal of the 30-minute record limit. This limit is an artificial one placed on many cameras to avoid being taxed differently. The α6400 is also a vast improvement for Sony with regards to overheating (most likely to occur whilst recording 4K due to the processing demands). Online tests showed that in modest ambient temperatures, you will flatten the battery or fill the memory card before you overheat the camera. In this camera body, it does have an optical anti-aliasing filter on the top to reduce moiré. This added layer introduces a slight softening effect for photos, but it’s standard on Bayer-array sensors. It’s still an awesome sensor for stills and video alike. The Sony A6700 dimensions are 120 x 67 x 60 mm (4.72 x 2.64 x 2.36 in) and weigh approximately 500g (1.1 lb)
