About the camera: There are countless reviews about the sony a6500, created by professionals who layout their impressions in a well delivered manner. If you are looking to deep dive into the camera's capabilities ahead of purchase, I could not recommend more the tutorial created by Tony & Chelsea:...

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...

The Sony Alpha 6500 ($1,399.99, body only) packs the same stellar 24MP APS-C image sensor, hybrid focus system, and 11.1fps capture rate as the Alpha 6300 , and adds in-body image stabilization and a touch screen to the mix.

Compact body; 11.1fps burst shooting; Large buffer; Tilting touch-screen LCD; Crisp 120fps EVF; In-body image stabilization; Excellent image quality; Integrated flash; Wi-Fi with NFC; 4K video and 120fps 1080p

Dense menu system; Some add-on apps must be purchased; No external charger included; Battery life lags behind competing models; Only one memory card slot; No grip available; Requires FE lens to complete weather sealing

The $1,398 Sony A6500 is the premium model in Sony's mirrorless camera lineup, packing every feature the company could think of into its small case. The camera has the same 24.2 megapixel image sensor as its predecessor, the a6300 , but adds extra processing and buffer memory, plus some tweaks to...

Excellent image and video quality; Tough construction; Can shoot 11 fps for more than 30 seconds

Awkward on-screen menus; Some noise at higher ISO; Expensive

Worse than expected What I am writing is relevant only for the current moment. I have G81 and A7-III and bought a6500 to use x1.5 crop for my SONY FE tele lenses. I thought that A7-III and a6500 will have a step difference in class, but really A7-III is like a First class of different Asian...

The Sony Alpha 6500 ($1,399.99, body only) packs the same stellar 24MP APS-C image sensor, hybrid focus system, and 11.1fps capture rate as the Alpha 6300 ($779.00 at John Lewis UK) , and adds in-body image stabilization and a touch screen to the mix. It's an excellent performer, but one that lacks some of the features you'd expect in a pro-grade camera—including dual card slots and the ability to add a vertical shooting grip. But in every other way it's a solid mirrorless model, and a strong option for shooting fast-moving action and sports. It's not our favorite in this category—that nod goes to our Editors' Choice Fujifilm X-T2 ($779.00 at John Lewis UK) —but it's a strong runner up. Design The Alpha 6500 ($779.00 at John Lewis UK) maintains a small form factor, a boon for photographers who like to travel or hike with a lightweight kit. It measures 2.6 by 4.7 by 2.1 inches (HWD) and weighs just about a pound without a lens attached. It's smaller than the Olympus OM-D E-M1 Mark ...

The mirrorless Sony Alpha 6500 delivers excellent image quality and superb autofocus, but lacks some of the pro features of competing cameras in this price range.

The a6500 is Sony's premium APS-C mirrorless camera sitting above the mid-level Sony a6300. The two share very similar body designs and many of the same specifications, but the a6500 is a more versatile and usable camera, both for video and stills, thanks to an additional front-end LSI (processor),...

The Alpha A6500 is Sony's most powerful mirrorless camera with an APSC sensor to date. Arriving just eight months after the previous Alpha A6300, the new A6500 unsurprisingly inherits much of that model's style and capabilities: the same flat-topped compact body with a built-in viewfinder and...

Not too long after the A6300 was announced, Sony sprung the A6500 on the world. Sporting many of the same specifications of the A6300 , the new camera is designed to be a premium version of the model, intending to appeal to high-end enthusiasts and potentially even some pro photographers.

4K video; High-resolution viewfinder; Great autofocusing system

Touchscreen could be better implemented; No headphone socket

The Sony A6500 replaces the 8-month-old A6300 as Sony's premium APS-C Alpha offering. The A6500 retains a similar outward appearance to its predecessor, featuring full weather sealing against dust and moisture ingress, but now has in-body 5-axis stabilization, a touch-enabled LCD screen, a bigger...
