At 2/100 sec evaluation speed for Continuous Autofocus, the Sony a6400 has the fastest responding autofocus currently on the market. It shoots ten frames per second, with the new AI Tracking. However, getting to the tracking is quite an ordeal, which I will explain here. First if looks for the eye-ball, then the face, then the object or person. And coming soon – ANIMAL EYE-AF. The a6400, at under $900 is an amazing deal. To really learn how to use it, SUBSCRIBE to get the first announcement on our a6400 premium, “unleash the power of your Sony a-6400” coming soon. Also, tired of the searching through the menu bars trying to find that function?

What I like most of this video is his conclusion where he says don’t buy the A6500…wait for the replacement!
I don’t think he got some insider info…I believe it’s just his guts telling us that we should wait for Sony to finally give us this A6500 successor.
