Sony Alpha a6400
The 24.2MP sensor and BIONZ X processor with 4D FOCUS enable Real-time Eye AF for humans and animals, maintaining accurate tracking at 11fps bursts. This bundle adds practical value with a 64GB SD card, shoulder bag, and Corel software suite, eliminating the need for immediate accessory purchases. It's best for action and portrait shooters who prioritize fast, reliable autofocus in a non-stabilized body, though the fixed touchscreen and lack of weather sealing limit travel and handheld video use.
