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.
The Sony a6500 comes with 425 autofocus points.
