Is this a good time to buy?

Legacy Value

The a6400 is a 2019 body still sold new. Its autofocus holds up well for the money, but it has no IBIS and dated ergonomics. The a6700 is the de-facto modern upgrade.

What to do now: A sensible budget APS-C pick if you want Sony autofocus cheaply. Compare it against a used a6700 and current kit prices before committing.
