Theera Suriyawongse just received his brand new A6400. But it has one unexpected design issue. Theera writes:

Today, I bought the A6400, when trying at the store (in Thailand), it can adjust the selfie screen.
When returning home i noticed, the label name of the camera is wrong.
All functions exactly as model A6400 But the screen is wrong.

SAR note: So far there is only one single report about this issue and it comes from Thailand. The camera is going to start shipping on February 28 in Europe and USA. I hope this is just a one time mistake. The camera production is in Thailand and maybe the thai store had a non approved or modified Stock of cameras?

Here is a video showing the camera:

Press text:

High-speed ultra wide-angle zoom lens for Sony E-mount cameras is extremely compact and lightweight
17-28mm F/2.8 Di III RXD (Model A046) –

The Model A046 achieves an astonishingly small diameter for a high-speed ultra wide-angle zoom lens, as witnessed by its modest 67mm filter size. Its unprecedented light weight and compact size provide excellent balance when used with a full-frame mirrorless camera, making it easy to carry, and enabling it to cater to a wide range of scenes and shooting conditions. The Model A046 offers a fast F/2.8 aperture throughout the entire zoom range, and delivers high-resolution and contrast edge to edge. The combination of ultra wide-angle focal length, fast constant F/2.8 aperture and an MOD (Minimum Object Distance) of 0.19m (7.5 in) at the wide-angle end encourages richly expressive and creative photography in a multitude of scenarios. The Model A046’s AF drive system is powered by the RXD (Rapid eXtra-silent stepping Drive) stepping motor unit, enabling it to deliver high-speed, high-precision and superbly quiet operation suitable for shooting video as well as still photographs.
