a6400 Ultimate Setup Guide
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 $998 on Amazon, [amazon_textlink asin=’B07MV3P7M8′ text=’the a6400′ template=’ProductLink’ store=’texturadesign-20′ marketplace=’US’ link_id=’e5214a36-69a4-4466-a923-5ce8f4a91c2f’] 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.”
