Sony a6400 Hands-on Review

Ғылым және технология

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.

    Add a little thick M3 tape between the screen and the mic, this will probably dampen the sound.

    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!

    The mic slapping you in the face is so funny. You are combining humor and facts so damn well! 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.

    I use my A6400 in tandem with the A6500 as a two camera still photography setup most often with a different focal length prime lens on each camera. No sweat on lack of IBIS with the A6400 because I have IBIS in the A6500. I am a great fan of vintage lenses for the remarkably creative renditions that these old lenses offer. However, on most of my model shoots, I have promised images to the models, most often for their portfolios. Here's where 2-cameras really shine. I can use a vintage lens (like the Helios 58mm f/2.0) on one camera to get creative effects and a modern lens, like the Sony 85mm f/1.8 or Sony 50mm f/1.8 OSS, on the second camera. That way I will be sure to get a combination of creative and technically excellent images...
