The a6400 is a compact E-mount body for everyday photography, travel and a controlled video setup. Its 24.2-megapixel APS-C sensor, electronic viewfinder and 4K recording make it a different proposition from a phone or a fixed-lens compact: you gain lens choice, but also take responsibility for choosing that lens. This listing is body only. For a small room, check the field of view before buying a prime; for travel, consider how much range you want from one zoom. A useful setup should also include a suitable memory card, a way to keep the camera steady and an audio plan if people speaking are the subject.

Important buying checks
This ASIN excludes the lens; avoid confusing it with a 16–50mm kit.
Sony E-mount lenses, including FE models with APS-C framing.
Plan the complete setup
- Match the lens mount and sensor coverage to the body. An adapter changes what can attach; it does not guarantee every autofocus or video function.
- Compare the complete package: body, named lens, battery, charger or charging cable, and memory card. Check which items are included before ordering.
- Plan a lens for the subjects you actually photograph. Wide scenes, distant wildlife and close product details need different framing and working distances.
