Sony today announced their new top APS-C camera, the Sony a6500<\/a>, adding some noteworthy new features over its predecessor, the a6300 – like a faster processor and five-axis image stabilization. They also announced the next generation of its premium compact camera, the RX 100 V<\/a>, along with a new underwater housing<\/a> for RX 100-series cameras.<\/p>\n

The Sony a6500 interchangeable-lens compact digital camera is the latest generation of its best-selling a6000 series. It shares many features with its predecessor, the a6300, including what Sony says is the world’s fastest AF speed and the highest number of focus points at 425, but has vastly improved high-speed shooting capabilities, able to maintain its 11fps top burst rate for 307 frames. The big news is image stabilization: The a6500 is the first Sony APS-C sensor camera to offer 5-axis optical image stabilization with a 5-stop shutter speed advantage. In addition, the camera now has touchscreen operation.<\/p>\n

As with its predecessor, the Sony a6500 offers Sony’s 4D Focus system, which can lock focus on a subject in 0.05 seconds; according to Sony, this is the world’s fastest AF acquisition time. Likewise, the camera carries over the 6300’s 425 phase detection AF points, which are densely positioned over most of the image area. Sony claims this is the most AF points to be found on a mirrorless interchangeable-lens compact camera.<\/p>\n

The internal design, however, has been completely revamped to add internal image stabilization, a feature that was previously only found on certain lenses. Sony was able to add stabilization without any major change to the shape or size of the camera body. This 5- axis system provides a shutter speed advantage of 5 steps, according to Sony, ensuring the full resolving power of the sensor can be realized, even in challenging lighting.<\/p>\n
