Sony a6100 vs sony a6400?

The a6100 and a6400 are close cousins. Both have a 24.2-megapixel APS-C sensor, use the Sony E mount, were announced in 2019, and have no stabilisation in the body. The a6100 gives you the a6400's autofocus in a simpler, cheaper body, so the choice comes down to whether you want the extras. The a6400 is the small, very quick-focusing one. If you mostly shoot in good light and want to save money, the a6100 is the sensible pick.

Either way, I'd buy a stabilised lens for low light, such as the Sony E 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 OSS as an everyday kit lens. If you want a brighter zoom, try the Sigma 18-50mm f/2.8 DC DN Contemporary. For more on choosing a first body, see Your first camera.
