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!

1) It has no IBIS
2) Most Vloggers use a hotshoe mic on the and this will cover the selfie screen when vlogging
