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 a6500 is Sony's premium APS-C mirrorless camera sitting above the mid-level Sony a6300.

Sony Alpha A6500
Sony left it just six months before updating the Alpha A6300 with the A6500, but while this might sound like a premature update, the Alpha 6500 gains a number of key features, including in-body image stabilization to further blur the line between Sony's APS-C lineup and its Alpha 7 full-frame range...

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.

Fantastic small camera!
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.
Pros:
- 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
Cons:
- 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..

Punches above its weight
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.
