Sony’s next gen
The Sony A6400 is an APS-C, 24.2-megapixel camera with a very advanced autofocusing system which includes real-time eye AF, 425 phase- and contrast-detect AF points covering 84% of the image area and real-time tracking. Oh, with 0.02sec acquisition time, it’s also the world’s fastest AF.
The sensor is paired with an upgraded BIONZ X processor for high image quality even at high ISOs – the top ISO is 32,000 but this can be expanded to 102,400 for still shooting. For video, the A6400 offers 4K 3840x2160 internal recording with full pixel readout and no pixel binning so you get 2.4x the amount of data needed for 4K and this is oversampled for extra depth and clarity. The A6400 costs £949 body only, £999 with the 16-50mm powerzoom and £1299 with the 18-135mm lens.
The Vanguard Mini tripod range offers pocket-sized support solutions for cameras and smartphones. Available in champagne gold, rose gold, black and white. The Mini is less than 18cm when folded andweighs 155g. It comes with a smartphone adapter. The Mini is priced at £34.99. Support in your pocket
