Sony A6500 review: A mini mirrorless powerhouse
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.
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

Sony Alpha A6500 review
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.
Pros:
- Lightning-quick AF system
- Respectable buffer capacity
- Expansive video options
Cons:
- 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.

Mighty Mouse
The camera is a powerhouse, clear images through iso 6400 and features galore. But the user guide needs work, it offers only basic information without detailing the ins and outs of the features and options.

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..

Pros:
- Fantastic image quality
- Extended memory buffer
- Powerful 5-axis in-body stabilisation
- Highly customisable
Cons:
- No in-camera raw processing
- Memory card access can be fiddly
- Focus Area options could be more streamlined

Sony A6500 review
The A6500 is one of the best compact system cameras around, and sits at the very top of the APS-C tree. Capable of producing superb images straight out of the camera, its raft of high-speed features make it a particularly good match for anyone who likes to shoot fast-moving action subjects, be it wildlife or your pet dog. That said, Sony sadly still hasn’t quite reached perfection. Yes, we’ve finally got a touchscreen, but you can only use it for certain things. The A6500 is also pretty expensive, and if you tend to shoot non-moving fare like landscapes, portraits and macro, you might be better suited to the A6300. In that sense, the two cameras mirror the Fujifilm X-T2 and X-T20, which are their main rivals. Which you go for depends a lot on your preferences for a camera's controls and feel, as Sony and Fujifilm differ greatly here - but we reckon the X-T2 just edges it, thanks to its better frame rate and design.

- Excellent image quality
- Great for capturing fast-moving objects
