As someone who writes about cameras for a living, my inbox is often filled with friends asking for advice on what camera to buy. My answer always depends on what features the budding photographer is looking for. But when it comes to beginner-friendly mirrorless cameras packed inside a travel-friendly body, the Sony A6000 series, which includes options like the Sony A6700 and A6400, immediately comes to mind.
Earlier this year, I was reminded of why I’ve always loved Sony’s A6000-series cameras: the rangefinder-inspired design keeps the cameras compact, and Sony’s long history lends to a plethora of lens options. But the last time that I shot with the Sony A6400, I found myself wishing for the Sony A6700 instead for one key reason: animal detection autofocus.
