Conclusion
If I was looking for a budget 4k recording camera the A6100 would be a good candidate.
If I wanted a good 1080 camera for slow-mo footage A6400 would be good for the price the 120fps in 1080 would be sweet.
The A6600 seems a little pricey for what you get but be sure to let me know if i missed something with this models specs.
I hope this helps show the main specs of these cameras side by side and it helped you see the main differences.
