What is the sony fe 100 400mm f 4 5 5 6 gm oss good for?

This is a stabilised 100-400mm zoom for full-frame Sony E cameras, built for reach: sport from the sideline, larger animals, and distant subjects where a 70-200mm runs out. On an APS-C body it frames like 150-600mm, which makes it a sensible pick if you already shoot Sony APS-C.

The trade-off is the aperture. At f/4.5-5.6 it gets darker as you zoom in. That's fine in good light, but it's harder for birds in dim woods. If you want a constant f/4.5 for fast action, look at the Sony FE 100-400mm f/4.5 GM OSS. If weight matters more, the Sony FE 100-400mm f/5.6-8 OSS is a light, affordable option at about 650 g.
