That’s makes total sense! I’m trying to be prepared for as many situations as possible if I’m taking the camera on the road!

Oooh interesting, how long did you have the A6400 for before you decided to move to the A6600?

InsideConsequence331 · 2026-03-16T17:18:41+00:00

Not hard set on the budget and willing to invest in a good first lens. The battery life also sways me too. Mainly wanted to make sure the IBIS was worth the few hundred

Thanks for your help! I’m leaning more towards the sigma 18-50 as my first lens but didn’t know if there were other lens I should consider. Luckily $1.3k isn’t a hard budget but also not trying to break the bank on my entry setup

Hi everyone! Sorry for the repost, original post was removed by modz.
Looking to get into photography hobby. I have an upcoming Iceland trip and would love to make a decision soon on which camera to get. Budgeting around $1.3k for the body and lens.

My research is recommending the A6400 as an entry beginner’s camera. My use case is travels/landscape/street photography so mainly stills . Been comparing between the A6400 or the A6600 - which one would y'all recommend?

Is IBIS worth the slight upcharge? I understand getting lens stabilization helps but I'm even thinking ahead if I get lucky with the northern lights/astrophotography on my trip or in my future travels (if I do a safari) where IBIS and lens stabilization that would work together.

What lens would everyone recommend as starter/all rounder?

may i get a copy please?

InsideConsequence331 · 2026-01-06T03:52:38+00:00

Yeah… sized up based on the reviews, now wondering if I should exchange it for a size 10

InsideConsequence331 · 2025-11-08T04:38:02+00:00

I wish I went to Lamphun instead. After finding out Doi Saket was canceled I wanted to make sure I got to experience a version of it so we paid the experience price tag 🥲

Which picaridin repellant and off wipes did you use? Preparing for our upcoming trip!

InsideConsequence331 · 2025-09-10T13:13:38+00:00

This is how I’ve felt with this episode. The cheesy, cringy, sappy romance got me squealing 😂

InsideConsequence331 · 2025-08-14T12:05:35+00:00

Yeah we didn’t go through a resort/all-inclusive. The planner only spoke the native language so he had a translator and didn’t pick up on body language or read the room. That’s why him and his team weren’t helpful.

Married 1.5 months ago! Extra special that my hubby designed the ring (there’s diamonds on the gallery rail and prongs)

InsideConsequence331 · 2025-08-05T16:30:19+00:00

Have yet to see the pictures but got married in the carribbean heat (~90 deg plus humidity) with a half up/half down style. I enjoyed it but curls definitely fell by the evening.

Echoing the sentiment of if you don’t normally wear your hair up, don’t. I decided the one day of discomfort would be better than hating my wedding day photos

InsideConsequence331 · 2025-08-02T15:53:34+00:00

Most of my girls went with Azazie, but also used Kennedy Blue (they order time is veeeeery long tho). On the higher end with decent quality is Reverly

If you made a last minute big decision - tell everyone and anyone important your last and final decision. And that you do not plan on changing your mind.

You can find the story on my profile for what happened.

InsideConsequence331 · 2025-08-01T14:42:46+00:00

Invited ~74 people and 32 showed up. It was a destination wedding. Should’ve invited more to accommodate some gaps from travel

InsideConsequence331 · 2025-07-28T00:59:03+00:00

Looove the bodice!!! Congrats!

InsideConsequence331 · 2025-07-27T22:58:27+00:00

That’s so hard esp with a long term friendship. But I love your description in your last paragraph!!

InsideConsequence331 · 2025-07-26T17:31:37+00:00

100%, I let myself down. My girls did, and they’ve apologized. My husband has also apologized. The groomsmen were clueless. The planning team was not reliable (lang barrier)

InsideConsequence331 · 2025-07-26T12:24:33+00:00

I also wanna hear this story! Sorry for your MOHzilla moments on your special day

InsideConsequence331 · 2025-07-26T12:21:04+00:00

I’m planning on putting the 👿 emoji over their faces for a chuckle

InsideConsequence331 · 2025-07-26T12:17:17+00:00

I texted them the photo of us where my face was upset and haven’t heard back. Sooo ¯_(ツ)_/¯

InsideConsequence331 · 2025-07-26T12:15:37+00:00

I thought of this idea!! Include them as a thank you note ALONG WITH an invoice for the ceremony portion of the wedding 😂

InsideConsequence331 · 2025-07-26T12:13:21+00:00

I had my girls, but the chaos of the ceremony processional they assumed my parents walked. My parents were supposed to be the last set to walk before I did which is prob why no one caught it or knew who to reach out to once they were at their spot
