Sony Alpha 6400
The 24.2MP APS-C sensor and BIONZ X processor deliver sharp, low-noise images at 11 fps, while 4K video is oversampled from full sensor width for detailed footage without pixel binning. Its 425-point phase-detection autofocus locks on in 0.02 seconds and includes Real-Time Eye AF for both stills and video, paired with a compact body and a 180° tiltable LCD. This camera is best for hybrid shooters who need fast, accurate subject tracking for both high-resolution stills and cinematic 4K video in a portable package.
