Price history

Price history starts the day we first price this product here; a chart appears after the second day.

Used: what it should be worth

No used α6400 listings at the stores we track yet. A "should be worth" value appears after a week of used prices.

From used and refurbished asking prices at the stores we track, checked every few hours. Confirmed eBay sale prices will be added once eBay grants us access to its sold-listings data.

Low light & noise

3.9 µm pixels

24.2 MP on a aps-c sensor, ISO up to 32,000

Bigger pixels gather more light each, so they tend to show less noise at high ISO, but sensor design matters as much. For real noise at ISO 6400, these sites measure it:

How it stacks up

410 shots — longer battery life than 76% of the aps-c mirrorless cameras we list
403 g — lighter than 55% of the aps-c mirrorless cameras we list
