Sony Alpha a6400 Mirrorless Digital Camera with 18-135mm Lens (Black)

Ignite your creativity with the Sony α6400 Mirrorless Interchangeable-Lens Camera. This camera features the world's fastest auto focus which allows you to capture instant shots from fast action to candid. You can capture amazing shots and get incredible detail that makes for gorgeous enlargements thanks to its newly developed 24.2 megapixel Exmor APS HD CMOS sensor.

24.2-Megapixel APS-C Image Sensor

Create images of astounding beauty that surpass your expectations with the Sony a6400’s newly developed 24.2- megapixel APS-C CMOS sensor. The same size as most DSLRs, this sensor offers high sensitivity in dimly lit environments and strikingly attractive foreground and background defocusing. You’ll enjoy the increased light collecting efficiency of a gapless on-chip lens structure, extremely low noise throughout a wide sensitivity range of ISO 100 to 25600, and superb corner-to-corner image quality with lifelike color, supreme detail and smooth tonal gradations that reveal every nuance of your scene.

BIONZ X Image Processor

Astonishingly fast, Sony’s sophisticated BIONZ X image processor reproduces textures and details in real time as seen by the naked eye. The resulting images in the Sony Alpha a6400 mirrorless camera are remarkably realistic with especially rich tonal gradations and a natural three-dimensional appearance. The processor is lightning fast, giving you continuous shooting up to 11 fps. Visual noise is nearly imperceptible thanks to further advanced area-specific noise reduction. Detail reproduction technology delivers more detailed textures while diffraction-reducing technology optimizes the performance of any lens you mount to enable advances such as finer details at small aperture settings.

425 AF Points

The Sony Alpha a6400 mirrorless has higher-precision contrast-detection AF (Fast Intelligent AF) points, with an improved Fast Hybrid AF system features the world's fastest 425 extremely accurate phase-detection AF points that covers 84% of the entire image area for superior auto focusing. They permit enhanced subject tracking plus the capture of fast-moving subjects anywhere on the screen, as well as improved scene recognition and subject size detection.

Ultra HD Movies

Press the MOVIE button on your Sony a6400 to start recording beautiful 4K UHD movies notable for their sharpness and lack of visual “noise” in your choice of 60p, 60i or 24p. New improved Fast Hybrid AF provides remarkably fast and accurate auto-focusing and tracking while shooting movies. You can also use P/A/S/M modes to achieve maximum control over how the image looks, and zoom with extra clarity, courtesy of Clear Image Zoom.

Touchscreen and Viewfinder

The Alpha a6400 mirrorless camera features a 180-degree fully tiltable LCD touch screen for self-recording. The 180° tiltable, 3.0-type LCD flip screen has 921k-dots of resolution that allows for simple and effective framing of selfie-style shooting for both still and video capture. It has a high quality XGA OLED Tru-finder viewfinder to help you hone in on your subjects.

Sony 18-135mm Lens

A versatile 18-135mm focal length with a 35mm equivalent of 27-202.5mm, Optical SteadyShot Image stabilization and fast, precise, quiet AF, make this compact and lightweight zoom lens perfectly for nearly any shooting application. The lens produces excellent corner-to-corner sharpness and beautiful defocused bokeh to a variety of still and movie applications.

Sony Alpha a6400 Mirrorless Digital Camera with 18-135mm Lens (Black)

Sony Alpha a6400 Mirrorless Digital Camera with 18-135mm Lens (Black) SKU: ILCE6400MB

Rated 2 out of 5 by from Added features do not work Can't 'verify connection' when attached via USB - although the connection is working to transfer files. Stuck in an endless loop trying to get it to connect so I can add and update apps. Nothing online that matches the ''error' message. So all of that USB/software stuff is useless to me.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Exciting equipment purchase I recently got this for my graduation upon the recommendation of several peers. I love it so far, however, it did not come with a body cap (I have the ILCE-6400 - it should come with a body cap). Puzzling.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Fun to use. I purchased the a6400 as an upgrade from my a5100. Wow, is this thing fun to use! I went out for spring bird migration and shot 943 photos in 2 days. 99% of the photos were in focus. Speaking on focusing, this thing seems to focus instantaneously on the smallest of warblers. The eye autofocus feature is also amazing when working with models. I've only been shooting with this camera for a little over a week now and there is so much more that I can't wait to learn about. As amazing as the older models are if you are still shooting with one you owe it to yourself to try one of these newer models. Wow!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Best Camera I have ever Owned Before the alpha 6400 I owned another alpha series. I new that I would never even look at another mirrorless camera. Once my old one stopped working I immediately looked at the new alpha series and fell in love with the 6400. It is simply perfect for video as well.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great fun! I am definitely a beginner in photography but do have more experience with videography. I purchased this to help give me options with videography and to help me up my game with photography. And quite simply, this is the most fun I've had with a camera ever.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great pictures Easy to use and set up. I used a few YouTube videos for helping with explaining each setting. The only thing that doesn't make sense and will hopefully be fixed in future updates is the human and animal eye recognition. You have to go in manually to specify which one your getting ready to photograph each time. It would be nice just to point at either and the camera automatically knows which is which. Animals and children wont wait for you to fumble your way through the menu to set the human or animal setting. Other then that so far it's a great camera with stunning photos.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great City Camera The Sony A6400 is a great camera for walking in the city to take pictures. I have walked 4 miles in the city taking pictures with it. Yes in the 90 degree heat in the city has gotten the camera got damp with me holding it close to my body, but it didn't get effected and the pictures at the 100,000 ISO came out great! The battery life of 400 shots is rather low, but not any worse than many small cameras.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from All-round good, but a couple of short-comings This camera packs in a lot of great features for a very low price. The image quality is good and I like features like the easy-to-access (and customizable) Fn menu. There are two things that I find disappointing: - First, I don't like the noise in higher ISO. I even find 800 ISO far too noisy. I try to limit all my shots at either 100 or 200 ISO. After reading that this camera did well in low light and at higher ISO - I was especially disappointed with the poor-quality image at higher ISO. - Secondly - IMO, the camera needs another button for customization or an additional wheel. Having multi-uses on each of the very few buttons and wheels is not convenient. (I'd almost bought a Fuji because of dials & wheels.) Anyway, overall, I'm happy with the camera for now. Wish list: - Better form factor. I like the grip on the a6400, but would like more external dials and buttons for ease of use. - Less noise at higher ISO. -

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Best of the APS-C camera out there! It's perfect! Compact build I'm really impressed with the AF of the camera. Fast focus images, videos are very good. I never regret that I bought this camera.

Rated 2 out of 5 by from Not as Sharp as A6000 I may have gotten a dud, but my camera is not as sharp as my old a6000. Unfortunately I discovered this too late as I started using it in place of the a6000. After a year I had need to use both at the same time and discovered the sharpness issue. It might be due to a glossy section in the mount where it looks like it was not coated with the same stuff that the rest of it was. Maybe light is reflecting weirdly giving it a softer look. If your coming from the a6000 be sure to compare the new model to it. Otherwise, the features on the a6500 are superior.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Crystal Clear Consistency Switch from Nikon 5300 to Sony a6400 was in comparison a night and day difference in quality when it came to the percentage of clear photos against slightly blurry photos. With the Nikon it was like gambling to get 50% satisfaction to an almost a 100% clear photos with the Sony a6400. As a professional producer and promoter of events I need to be able to trust the camera to make great decisions using AUTO mode as things fly by during an event. The Sony a6400 gave me the kind of results I could depend on for television and marketing purposes. I am super satisfied!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Best Video Bargain on the market - no time limit!! 4K video is amazing for both depth and color space. If IBIS is not a major factor in your video shooting, this camera will compare with cameras costing far more. Finally, Sony has removed the 30 minute limit starting with this camera. Here's hoping they do the same with some other recent cameras (like the A7M3 etc.)

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Amazing! "Super fast focusing speed. Quite possibly the fastest I have seen. I run this camera as a 4k video camera do my YouTube channel and it is amazing, and does almost everything I want to do. If there was anything wrong with it, it's more or less the emount lens selection, as there isn't a lens that fits what I do (macro} that is in my price range that zooms. Honestly not enough of a problem as the kit lens you get is amazing. If you are in the market for a 4k shooter or ultra fast focus, then this is for you."

Rated 5 out of 5 by from My First Camera and I LOVE it! This is my first camera. I primarily purchased it to use it for vlogging and making video. So far, it's done everything I was expecting and more. The only issue I've had is learning to navigate and use the menus. I'm not a camera expert so that might add to my confusion, but there are so many options that it can get frustrating trying to figure out how to make better video. Overall, I love the camera, the pictures are amazing and the video looks great!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Finally something that I can move to from my DSLR Love the size and weight. I had a a6000 but it couldn’t match my DSLR for focus speed and tracking. Now, this is as good, maybe better. The usability of the bigger camera is still better due to the size, but this will be my new go to camera, especially for travel.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Wonderful screen, great features, Programming ?? Excited to get the new a6400. It has some fantastic features. But this is not an out of the box camera. You have to program camera but first figure out how to, then make sure your lens are the latest version. Then set up "MY MENU" so you can find things again. The power cord is a mini, so need to buy longer cord and extra battery and wall charger right away. And buy a Peak Design camera stray ASAP. As for photos FANTASTIC

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Amazing Camera! The a6400 is my first ever Sony camera. I used to be a Canon user but decided to make the switch because Sony had what I wanted. I picked the camera up on its release day and I absolutely love it. Super fast eye autofocus is what got me really excited. The flip screen is great but I don't find myself using it as much as I am always the one behind the camera. This camera is awesome for both stills and video!
Date published: 2019-03-05
Rated 3 out of 5 by from Doesn't record standard 1080 MP4 Apparently Sony decided to take a step backwards with video format to the a6000 days. The a6400 does not record standard 1080 MP4. Meaning, you can't transfer video to your phone and upload to social media. I have a a6500, bought this a6400 for focus improvements. However, if I can't do quality video in MP4 it makes a6400 useless to me.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Does NOT accept Sony Playmemory apps I have 3 Sony cameras. Two of them accept playmemory apps. My RX10 iv DOES NOT! The a64000 DOES not, either. If you want a camera that accepts these, get an older model.
