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
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
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.
4K video; High-resolution viewfinder; Great autofocusing system;
Touchscreen could be better implemented; No headphone socket;
I've owned Canon DSLR's (my fallback workhorse), I've also owned an NEX5-N and an A6000, the previous Sony's although good always left me wanting to return to my Canon DSLR but the A6500 is a different beast. An amazing camera which can easily compare to much more expensive equipment.
The camera is really very good! Just I'm disappointed with the paint of the dial... I I used it just three times and the paint (white) of the dial start going out!
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 A6500 is Sony's latest flagship APS-C E-mount compact system camera and is essentially an enhanced version of the A6300 that provides a number of performance and handling upgrades for those with deeper pockets.
Fantastic image quality; Extended memory buffer; Powerful 5-axis in-body stabilisation; Highly customisable
No in-camera raw processing; Memory card access can be fiddly; Focus Area options could be more streamlined
Overall, this is a great camera body. It's my fourth Sony APS-C Mirrorless body (NEX-5N, NEX-6, A6000, A6500) and I'm really enjoying it. The body is very solid, and the performance is excellent. It's very fast, and I was able to configure it to do what I needed more easily than the previous models.
Focus speed and large buffer Better controls than previous APS-C Sony Great build-quality Great EVF (especially at 120Hz) Nice grip and overall size Can use it while connected to a USB battery pack
Mediocre battery life (but works with a battery pack) Could use another dial (but it works once you get used to it) Not quite as hip looking as Fuji or Olympus..; :
