Sony a6400 Quick Review + GIVEAWAY: Best entry-level camera!

We do an early review of the Sony a6400, about $900 for the body or $1,000 for the kit. It isn't the camera we were hoping for, but it's a good camera, and it'll definitely be popular. This is now Sony's entry-level camera, and it's very capable.

If you're familiar with Sony's camera lineup, it's basically an a6500 with a screen that flips up. However, the a6500 has sensor stabilization, which this camera lacks. We LOVE sensor stabilization for both stills and video, so that missing feature was disappointing, but we can't complain too much at the $900 price.

Sony has also improved eye autofocus and subject tracking, but both are still less-than-perfect.
