Sony Alpha a6400
Real-time Eye AF and Animal AF, powered by 425 phase-detection points, deliver swift, precise subject tracking that stands out in its class. The bundled 18-135mm lens pairs with a compact APS-C body, creating a versatile, lightweight kit with oversampled 4K video from a full-pixel readout. It suits stills-focused hobbyists who need fast autofocus for pets and action but won't mind the fixed screen and lack of stabilization that limits handheld vlogging.
