Sony A6500
by Mike Tomkins | Posted: 06/07/2017 When Sony first told us of the A6500 late last year, we must admit we felt a mixture of surprise and bewilderment. Following very closely in the footsteps of the A6300, the Sony A6500 was in many respects extremely similar to that camera -- much more so than we'd...
Pros:
- Comfortable, premium body with good controls
- Touch-screen for subject selection
- Hybrid image stabilization system
- Excellent image quality
- Better high ISO JPEGs than the A6300
- Extremely fast 11.1 fps burst capture
- Very deep buffers for raw and JPEG alike
- 4K video capture with no pixel binning
Cons:
- Pricey for an APS-C camera
- JPEG colors aren't the most accurate
- Very slow buffer clearing
- Laggy touch-pad AF function
- Poorly-placed movie button
- No headphone jack
- Mediocre battery life
