Sony Alpha A6500 Mirrorless Digital Camera (Only Body)

The Sony Alpha A6500 Mirrorless Digital Camera

Meet the α6500 — the APS-C interchangeable lens compact camera that puts the power to shoot professional-looking stills and movies solidly in your hands. An enhanced buffer for continuous shooting of up to 307 shots, in-camera 5-axis optical image stabilization, touchscreen control, super-speed AF and High-density Tracking AF Technology extend the range of your shooting capabilities. Capture every moment — the world’s fastest AF speed and highest number of AF points respond flawlessly to virtually any shooting situation. With an incredible 425 focal plane phase-detection AF points densely positioned over the entire image area, this comprehensive AF point coverage ensures that no subject escapes its attention. With the α6500 extending continuous shooting capacity to 307 shots without any drop in shooting speed (for around 36 s with AF/AE tracking), you won’t miss a decisive moment. In live-view continuous shooting at up to 8fps, display lag is kept to an absolute minimum, so you can capture moving subjects as they appear on the EVF or LCD, with optical viewfinder-like immediacy. Eye AF (available with AF-C) not only shows fast, effective auto focusing performance with eye detection but also keeps steadfast tracking on the eye of a moving subject. Easy maintenance of optimum focus on moving subjects can totally transform your portraiture. A new, very accurate gyro sensor is a key to image stabilization with the effect of a five-stops-faster shutter speed. This camera shake compensation system is effective for shooting steadier, clearer movies and still images. Gain unparalleled handheld shooting freedom using many of your favorite lenses. The short flange-back distance in the E-mount α6500 contributes to broad lens compatibility. With the Touch Pad function, you can swipe the LCD touchscreen to shift focus point intuitively and easily from one area to another, even as you monitor the viewfinder. Touch Focus makes it particularly easy to adjust focus quickly, so you don’t miss the chance to capture your chosen subject at the decisive moment. With new front-end LSI, BIONZ X processes data from the Exmor CMOS image sensor for outstanding texture, clarity, and image sharpness with low noise in stills and movies. This sensor has a thin wiring layer and large photo diode substrate that maximize light collection efficiency and copper wiring ensuring quick read-out. It also extends sensitivity to ISO 51200 with reduced noise. The BIONZ X image processing engine enhances image texture and clarity as it minimizes noise, with critical support from new front-end LSI and image processing algorithm optimized for the image sensor. Shoot and internally record 4K movies generated from 6K equivalent (20 MP) data in Super 35 mm format. Intuitive Touch Focus and 5-axis image stabilization extend shooting freedom.
