Sony ILCE6400M

32.2 Weddings & Events Score
24.2MP 1/2.3-inch4K
Why we recommend this

The 24.2MP 1/2.3-inch CMOS sensor and real-time Eye AF deliver fast, accurate subject tracking, with 4K HDR video that supports HLG for vibrant, low-grading footage. The bundled 18-135mm zoom lens provides a versatile focal range from wide-angle to telephoto, making this kit a compact travel companion despite its 2948g weight. Best for stills-oriented travel photographers wanting a one-lens solution, it disappoints vloggers with its fixed display and absence of stabilization.
