Amazon Canada: Sony Alpha A6400 Mirrorless Camera: Compact APS-C Interchangeable Lens Digital Camera with Real-Time Eye Auto Focus, 4K Video, Flip Screen and 16-50mm Lens - E Mount Compatible Cameras - Ilce-6400L/B

Ordered this camera ahead of my vacation after reading the good reviews about it. When I got it, right out of the box, on my first attempt to take a picture I got a "Camera Error" message and camera froze. Message suggested to turn it off then back on but the switch was irresponsive during this state. The only way to reset it was to take the battery out. I thought maybe this is just a one time thing, some configuration problem, but no, I was getting that everytime I press the button to take a picture. Searching on the internet I found that this seems to be a common problem with this camera. Now I have to return it asking for a replacement and hoping that I get a functional one in time before my vacation starts. Looking at this now, I feel like I paid $1500 for a "brick". Hope that the replacement I get doesn't have this problem and I get to enjoy this cameraUPDATE: Got the replacement from Amazon. This is indeed a good camera, with lots of features for a beginner like me to play with, well worth the money.

First of all, I have to say that this is my first camera with interchangeable lenses. I have owned it for about a month and I am still learning to use it. This camera offers many possibilities and it has a good auto mode for those who start using it without any time to read the instruction manual. The IQ is good, the size is adequate for travelling (not as compact as my Canon Powershot S120) but obviously the capabilities are way different and it feels high quality and sturdy. I hesitated between buying a Fujifilm XT-30 and this one and I went with Sony because of the cheaper lenses and the selfie-tiltable screen. No regrets so far.

This is a wonderful camera for the money. It is perfect for videography as it records in full 4k 24p. The colour science included with this camera is way beyond other cameras I have used at this price range.But don't take my word for it, there are lots of wonderful YouTube videos that review this camera. I'd suggest looking there for a comprehensive review.If you are doing YouTube videos then you should also look at pairing this up with a Sigma F1.4/30mm prime lens. If vlogging, then go for the Sigma F1.4/16mm lens.Good luck!

This is my first camera, and it was worth the amount I paid. Sony's products are extraordinary, and with this camera I find it amazing to use as it quite small and easy to carry. I highly recommend it for beginners.

I umm'd and ahh'd about which camera to buy for several months. Finally i landed on this one. The sony is not perfect, but nothing is unless you want to spend big bucks. This camera produces fantastic images, is portable, doesn't scream "EXPENSIVE CAMERA" and is excellent for photo and video. The main missing thing for me was IBIS and i wish it was full frame, but full frame means mega expensive lenses. Now that the A6700 has been released, if i was buying a camera today i would likely go for that model, but the A6400 still holds its own for the price.
