APS-C CameraProduct Gallery
Product Overview
Sony a6500 is a mirrorless camera in the Sony E-mount system. Introduced by Sony in 2016, it comes with an APS-C sensor with 24 MP (6000 x 4000) resolution and a 2.36 million-dot EVF.
The camera has a usable battery life, though a second battery may be a good thing to keep in your camera bag. The 11.0 fps burst rate serves enthusiasts well enough, though some professionals may find it limiting.
