Sony Alpha a6400 2019
The 24.2MP APS-C sensor and BIONZ X processor achieve 0.02-second autofocus acquisition with 425 phase-detection points covering 84% of the frame, plus real-time Eye AF for humans and animals. It records 4K video with full pixel readout and no binning, and the 180-degree tiltable touchscreen simplifies self-recording. This camera is best for vloggers and product photographers who need fast tracking and sharp 4K footage in a compact body without in-body stabilization.
