The Vongs have done it… an a6400 Ultimate Setup Guide is now available. And, bless their vlogging hearts did so with timestamps.
While I prefer Sony’s full-frame bodies, for those of you into the APS-C models, this is great. I attended the a6400 launch and it’s impressive like all Sony cameras are.

For more about the a6400, see the Best Vlog Ever post and what you need to know is this camera is Sonys tech for less.
For $998 on Amazon, the a6400 packs a lot of Sony’s tech into a compact size. It replaces the a6300 and sits just below the a6500 in the lineup. Compared to a full-frame camera, like the a7iii, the a6400 is compact because it’s built around a smaller APS-C sensor.
The a6400 is perfect for travel and intended to replace a smartphone with much better photos. While smaller than the cameras in Sony’s lineup intended for pros, it uses the same E mount so you attach anything from an expensive G Master lens to a budget-friendly Sigma.
Read more about the a6400 in the launch post. Here’s a fav photo I took with it, shared on Instagram. As I shared there, “it’s a $900 camera that’ll take photos like a $3000 one.”
…My daily shooter is Sony A1 with a vertical grip and various Sony lenses attached like the FE 20mm F1.8. Find more gear recommendations in our shop. As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.
