I'm very happy of: -Picture quality -Video quality -Full control for video and photo -Picture profiles (more dynamic range of s-log 2 and 3) - Slow motion with manual control and high bitrate - compact body - Internal stabilization (perfect for my Nikon prime lens) - Option to power camera with...

Used this now for a few months. Here's a little what I think. Have just taken pictures with it, not filming. + Quick Focus. Meet right with focus. 11 frames per second. Cruel image quality. Many focus points. Small in hand. Digital viewfinder that shows exactly what you get in the picture.

In-body image stabilization finally comes to the Sony APS-C flagship. Add bucketloads of buffer and a touchscreen, and the A6500 arguably surpasses Sony's A7 Mark II.

Lightning-quick AF system; Respectable buffer capacity; Expansive video options

Dim rear LCD; Noticeable rolling shutter; Still lacks a headphone port

This great little camera is great for stealthy performance. But when I want strap on some accessories this Smallrig cage does the trick just fine.

The Sony A6500 is the company's 2017 flagship mirrorless camera with a crop sensor, sitting below the Sony A7 full-frame line-up. The A6500 joins an already bustling series across the wider A6000 range, with several cameras at different specifications available at different price points.

A tough and tiny powerhouse of a camera; 5-axis in-body image stabilisation means you don't rely on Sony's OSS lenses; autofocus is very fast in all shooting scenarios; video performance and image quality is second to none

Poor battery life; battery charger not included; touchscreen operation could be improved; relatively limited Sony E lens line up

The Sony A6500 is the flagship model for Sony's APS-C sensor-based mirrorless camera line and features an E-lens mount. The Sony A6500 was brought out only 8 months after the forerunner A6300 was shipped, which begs the question as to what changes and differences would justify a new model so soon.

Small form factor; 10FPS; auto focusing when filming is pretty much spot on; 4K; 120 fps

Hard to find things in the menu

by Mike Tomkins | Posted: 06/07/2017 When Sony first told us of the A6500 late last year, we must admit we felt a mixture of surprise and bewilderment. Following very closely in the footsteps of the A6300, the Sony A6500 was in many respects extremely similar to that camera -- much more so than we'd...

Comfortable, premium body with good controls; Touch-screen for subject selection; Hybrid image stabilization system; Excellent image quality; Better high ISO JPEGs than the A6300; Extremely fast 11.1 fps burst capture; Very deep buffers for raw and JPEG alike; 4K video capture with no pixel binning

Pricey for an APS-C camera; JPEG colors aren't the most accurate; Very slow buffer clearing; Laggy touch-pad AF function; Poorly-placed movie button; No headphone jack; Mediocre battery life

The Sony A6500 is a mid-range, prosumer mirrorless camera. It follows an established line of products that go back to the NEX-6 model when Sony separated the Alpha branding for A-mount SLT cameras from its E-mount mirrorless cameras.

Excellent image quality; Great for capturing fast-moving objects; Touchscreen for fast operation;

Expensive; Poor battery life;
