Sony announces the new A6400 vlogger oriented camera…whith two annoying flaws…
The new Sony A6400 has been finally announced. You get this for $899 at BHphoto and Adorama.
Teh camera has top features like the world’s fastest autofocus, touch selfie screen, new real-time tracking, animal eye-af and many other improvements. And the price is very competitive too!
Sony made a big buzz about this camera being ideal for vloggers and than they did “built-in” two flaws:
1) It has no IBIS
2) Most Vloggers use a hotshoe mic on the and this will cover the selfie screen when vlogging
Yay for the flip screen on the Sony a6400! Not exactly perfect for vlogging, tho. ? pic.twitter.com/XbYeVYTFTv
