Sony A6500 review: A mini mirrorless powerhouse
The Sony A6500 might cost a fair whack more than its A6300 cousin, but it's a powerhouse of a camera that, for the right user, will be worth the cash. Indeed, you'll struggle to find a mirrorless cameras with quicker autofocus.
Pros:
- 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
Cons:
- Poor battery life
- Battery charger not included
- Touchscreen operation could be improved
- Relatively limited Sony E lens line up

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.

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),...
Pros:
- Anyone wanting a tool that will let them take excellent images or 4K footage in a wide variety of circumstances
Cons:
- Photographers wanting to effortlessly access all the camera's capabilities

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...

Sony Alpha A6500 review
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...

The Sony A6500 is a superb APS-C mirrorless camera with an equally superb built-in electronic viewfinder (EVF).
