The Sony a6400 has earned a DPReview Gold Award. You can read the summary of why bellow or the full article here.
“It’s hard to overstate just how good the autofocus system is on the Sony a6400. It’s got one of the best implementations out there: not just in its price range, but on the market, period. Once you set the system up, you can pretty much leave it alone for almost any type of photography, whether you’re photographing people, landscapes, sports, you name it.
And Sony didn’t stop at autofocus; relative to its predecessor, the a6400 sports an updated menu system, a touchscreen that tilts all the way up for the all-important selfie, reduced risk of overheating while shooting 4K video, and more. But as we stated in our first impressions, at least as much of the story about the a6400 is about what Sony hasn’t changed, and really should have.”
