The Sony α6400 (model ILCE-6400) is a digital camera announced January 15 2019.[1] It is a APS-C mirrorless interchangeable lens camera (MILC) designed to be a mid-range mirrorless camera and act as a replacement for the aging α5000 series. Sony is targeting the vlogging community with the α6400's flip-up screen and aggressive pricing.[2] It features the same 24 megapixel sensor seen in the α6500, but lacks features like IBIS.
At its announcement, the Sony α6400 is advertised as featuring the "world's fastest autofocus" with lag of 0.02 second and 11 fps continuous shooting with continuous AF and 8 fps with the silent shutter. Its MSRP is $889 for the body and $998 with a 16-50 mm power-zoom kit lens f/3.5-5.6.[3]
Sony's α6400 also saw a much-needed upgrade to the photo sharing apps and the reintroduction of time-lapse videos via the menu system.[4]

Reception
After its announcement, numerous first impressions released from popular YouTube vloggers and camera-focused channels. Full reviews are not out yet but the general consensus is Sony priced it correctly, but for some the lack of the new Z battery and the fact the flip-up screen blocks the hot shoe mount are odd choices.[7][8][9][10]
