a6400 is mighty powerful indeed. I upgraded to it from a5100 (which I still have for its compactness) and was amazed by its customizability. Also with mirrorless you can adapt pretty much any old cheap manual-focus lens and get creative bokeh or fast telephoto for under $200.

It feels limited for video though — a lot of options but no way to get beyond 8 bits per channel, so iphone hdr videos win in most cases.

I think it depends on what you want - I have managed to get some absolutely fantastic video out of it, especially with the 30mm sigma lens

Sure, my use case involved a black dog among sunny landscapes, that stretches the need for dynamic range and color grading flexibility. Maybe with better shooting technique it’s less of a problem, but I’ve got used to post-processing flexibility it gives with stills.
