Puts a Viltrox 28mm pancake on their a6400 to turn it into an easy point-and-shoot, and likes the built-in flash.

Keeps an a6400 as a small prime camera for its size and cheap lenses, but finds the interface infuriating, with both dials controlling aperture.

Their used a6400 is a great camera, but after sitting idle it shows a camera error several times a day, needing the battery pulled.
