Sony has launched the a6400, the newest model in its
range of APS-C mirrorless interchangeable lens camera system. The new model
sits below the flagship model in the series, the a6500, and above the older
a6300 model.
The a6400 boasts of an improved autofocus system,
that features 425-point PDAF system that can lock focus in 0.02 seconds. It
also features advanced eye focus system that keeps the focus locked on the
subject's eye instead of an arbitrary point.
The camera features a 24.2MP APS-C sensor that is
capable of 4K recording with full pixel readout. The camera can do 11fps burst
shot with mechanical shutter or 8fps with electronic shutter with continuous
AF/AE tracking.
The a6400 also includes a new tilting mechanism for
the touchscreen LCD, making it easier to film yourself. An intervalometer has
been added for time lapse video recording. The camera is priced at US$ 899
body-only, US$ 999 with the 16-50 mm Power Zoom Lens, and US$ 1299 with the 18-135 mm
Zoom Lens. It will start shipping in February.
