Best praise vs top criticism for Sony a6400

Best Praise
+82 pts
“I recommend learning the exposure triangle, basic composition, and most importantly what many people dont mention is post editing. The 6400 is a very capable camera of taking stunning pictures. Also are you only using the kit lens? Id also graba 50mm 1.8 for portraits and to get some nice backround seperation.”

“Pretty sure the A6400 has the same menu system and no IBIS, so it isn’t going to address the issues you’re having with the A6000.”
