Sony Alpha a6500 Mirrorless Digital Camera Body - Bundle with 64GB SDXC U3 Card, Camera Case, Spare Battery, Tripod, Remote Shutter Trigger, Video Light, Shotgun Mic, Software Package and More

My Sony a6500 is one of Sony's top-tier APS-C mirrorless models, with 24MP stills and a video camera with built-in image stabilization. It sits above the similar-looking a6000 that I have before this one, Sony adds a touchscreen capability and stabilization for enthusiasts willing to dig a little deeper into their pockets.

I bought this camera to persue my hobby. I know it an expensive hobby to pressure but hoby is a hobby. This camera has great features and I am loving it. I had it with 18-135 sony lenses, the feature like image stabilization is great. The only down side is the video can't go over 30 minutes.

Solid travel camera, upgrading from the NEX series. Lots of functions, but takes awhile to sort through the menus, or save your favorite shooting profiles. Touch screen super helpful in performing touch focus in photos or videos.

Excellent images. I am finding it difficult to set up as I want but pleased I purchased it. Would welcome some more Sony lenses just for APSC format especially telephoto zoom.

The Sony a6500 gets lumped in with entry level cameras, but I dare say it is pretty darn close to semi-pro level. Build quality is good, picture quality is excellent. My only major complaint is how cumbersome and confusing Sony makes their menues and I do feel that the buttons and dials are all kind of jammed too closely together and anyone with larger fingers may have a hard time using it in the fly.

upgraded from the a6000 and I am very pleased. Eye AF is excellent and fast buffering is a huge improvement.

Great camera. Purchased for hiking trips. All the best camera features. Like that it is smaller than dslr cameras. Takes great pictures (but a lot of that has to do with purchasing a quality lens as well) Recommend having a spare battery though. Extended hiking trips, one battery would not suffice.

This camera takes great pictures right out of the box for this beginner. It has a fast and accurate focus. I love the in body stabilization. The bokeh is nice as well. After searching and reading/watching reviews, I knew that the A6500 was the best camera you can buy for this price point.

I have had this camera for some weeks and am now used to its systems. It was purchased to replace my GX8. To date, apart from the lack of a pivoting viewfinder, I am pleased with its systems and quality. I need something compact & lightweight, for when I need to use a system camera, to fit in rucksacks & bike bags. I like a clean shape with no bulges to catch when removing it from the bag. The image quality is good with a good dynamic range, enabling me to bring out detail in difficult conditions. I would have preferred to have a second knob to control some functions and to add further functions, but I can live with it!

The camera and most of the accessories were of outstanding quality. The only knock is for the bag, it is not nearly as functional as I had hoped and I will be buying a different one!

I shoot photos for a living. Corporate work. When I'm not working I use this camera. Absolutely the best pocket camera (with the 2.8 28mm pancake lens). Not great with battery life so carry a spare.

I started with a couple of A6000s to try out mirrorless. I am hooked and really enjoying the upgrades this camera has over the A6000.

So far this camera has been amazing! It is my first real camera and I haven’t had any problems so far. Don’t let the compact size fool you. The imagine quality is great. I expect to use this camera a lot more in the future!

I purchased sony a6500 because it is smaller and lighter than my canon mark Iii. I read many great reviews. It's ok. Not as replaceable as i imagined. Shooting with the cannon is a much better experience. Happy to have it but it's not all i had expected.

Excellent photos and videos. Lightweight single lens travel camera with the 18 -135 lens. Sony offers many options for other zoom and prime lenses.

Outstanding. Very light . Very good for travel specially paired with a sigma 16mm for landscape photography and every day photography.

This is not an inexpensive camera but it is a great little camera for a crop sensor. It does pretty good in low light photography and video which is why I went with this one.

The best crop sensor mirrorless camera available in the market. It has advanced features that put it up there with their big FF sisters. Looking forward for an exciting refresh from Sony at some point.

I have had the camera a couple of months and have now had chance to use it in anger. It is an upgrade from my Nikon D3200. It has overcome the lack of ISO performance, the lack of critical focus due to lack of lens calibration, gives me image stabilization. Then there are all the other bits like you can see what depth of field you are getting and the exposure rendering on the image before you press the button. Ability to detect and focus on the subjects eye, I have some amazingly sharp portraits as a result. Small Negatives/ opportunities to improve I expected it to use a lot of battery power to drive the view finder and so bought a spare battery as you do. However out of the box I found there was no separate battery charger. The camera was the charger and could not be used for hours whilst charging the battery, after paying all that for the camera I thought it a bit off to buy a separate charger. Infrared remote release; The Nikon has the sensors front and back this does not. So if you are shooting landscapes from a tripod and naturally stand behind you have to reach around the camera to get the remote to work. We all don't want to use the remote to take selfies! Instructions; Your products come with a vast amount of paper but finding the bit in your language takes ages and then it's not comprehensive. It was a few weeks before I found what I needed to know on the internet and I still have not managed to get it to work with my Sony Experia phone!
