always love your reviews, very throughly and detail, and i love how you tell how you feel using the camera instead of just informing the specs and performance.

Best test photos that you guys have used/featured to date... BRAVO, fellow Canadians!

Thank you for shooting your video with the product you're actually talking about. Thank you much (esp. for 4K option). Job well done.

Great reviews, I like the honesty of your reporting .

Finally you posted the review of this camera! We saw you in Max' video and the other guy whose name I can't remember...

man. Your shots are really good. Captures the action so good.

Well done, guys. It's very clear that the Sony "perks" didn't rob you of your journalistic integrity. This is a well balanced look at a camera that maybe should have come out six months to a year later with deeper refinements. This is the Sony way, though, for good or bad.

Excellent review. Thanks for putting it together.

you guys always get some worthwhile shots, not always the case with reviewers.

Hi Chris and Jordan. Tanks for your great and honest review - as always. I have just got my pre-ordered A6500 today in Germany. I share a lot of your findings and opinions so far. I've only tried it for a few minutes in bad lighting. Yes, the touch screen could be more responsive but I think it's a great addition. Contrary to your findings the tracking in movie-mode works really great in my opinion. Just put Center-Lock-On AF on a custom key and chose your subject. It will stick on it like glue. You can then change your subject by tapping the touch screen. Thus you can keep on changing and chasing various subjects. I don't know if it does as well as the 80D, but I really love this function. So much better than A6300 in usability. A6500 and the E PZ 18-105 are a great combo, by the way. Thanks again for your efforts!

I like your genuine comments,therefore I always watch your videos to know about camer gears.

Great and honest review. I did sense a bit of under-enthusiasm in Chris's ending wrap up, but I do appreciate Sony keep pushing innovation forward, even if for most photography it's not really worth upgrading from an A6300. I like the idea of new cameras with new features coming out, even if they're not completely perfected.

I was waiting for this analysis.

Awesome overview of the camera, thanks!

Nice honest review.

Thanks for replying to my mail you guys are so busy and yes your the best on the tube thats for shure can't wait to see what you think of the EM1 MK 2 regards Dave

Great review as usual guys ;-)

Thanks man! It was a lot of fun to do, and is definitely not my forte. It's always fun to shoot something beyond your comfort zone. Chris @ TCSTV

Great review, thanks very much.

Excellent review as always, many thanks. A friend of mine has the A6300 with Zeiss 16-70mm lens and is delighted with it. Having used it, I think I prefer the more traditional SLR-type ergonomic design. No question about the image quality however.

DUUUUUDE, YURYEEEEEVVVV MADE AN APPEARANCE!!

Wow! I'm really impressed with the video quality. The dynamic range is outstanding ! Great low light, ibis and less rolling shutter...It looks like a winner for video. If only the colors were a little bit better...

Thank for the great test. I'm looking forword to watching the test for Sony A99 mark 2~

Great review. Thank you for that. When can we expect a review of the new Olympus E-M1 II?

Very interesting review As always high degree of sincerity at the time of explaining the pros and cons of the camera.Bye!

Great review as always guys. Would love to see you guys add a but of info graphic esp when you shoting on the camera you're using. At 12 min Jordan is talking in a dim street light area but the color rendition is still pretty nice. Would love to see what ISO it was throughout various shot :). Anyway love you guys!

I'm curious about the 120 fps video. The Sony press release mentioned a "full pixel readout" for 1080p120. Does it now look as clean as 1080p60, even when slowed down? Also the S & Q settings. Previously if you wanted to shoot time lapses you had to seperately purchase an app from Sony, are there any pros and cons of S & Q vs the Time Lapse App?

should i sell my sony a6300 body and the 3 lenses of the aps-c equivalent to $2500? and pay about 2000 to get the sony a7rii or get the a6500 instead of my a6300? i just need the extra ISO and I do mostly video

I like your reviews and most of the better reviewers seem to follow the same logic. What i don't really understand is why all focus on 1 or 2 features to decide if to upgrade or not. I own all 3 of these camera's soon and to me the differences between them come in small steps but many of them. Sure in this case IBIS is the biggie and touchscreen for most the second but there are about 20? other updates from bluetooth gps, image from video, better grip. better dial, better buttons, extra button, better heat control, buffer depth, no locking when preview etc etc that add all up to the value for a update. Not saying the review is bad but for owners these small things add up and just like with your phone they add up quickly over multiple versions the 6500 probably has close to 50 changes compared to the 6000.

GREAT Review guys - Love your honesty in testing :)

Fair review!

Great Review. I am waiting for your rx100 V review.

This camera consistently blows me away

Very helpful thank you!

Another great 'matter of fact' review by this channel. To be honest I thought the a6500 would be bigger improvement over the a6300 than it turned out to be.

Great to see tubers collaborate. Keep it up, guys. ♪♫

Does Sony have a history of fixing issues like the touchscreen with firmware updates? Any reason to think they might do that with the 6500?

Wow surprised to see max on here

very nice shots! best of resent days

As always fantastic review. Do you guys shipped items to Australia? Cheers.

Glad to see that the overheating issue has been addressed. I don't mind the unit getting too hot - I won't often shoot in seriously hot environments anyway, but at least I have the option now.

That was not the issue with overheating...

Great review guys! I'm going to get this camera. Oh and Jordan, your zipper's down the whole video...

I would wait thanks.

I've come to the conclusion that the darker screen in 4K on the A6500 has to be the extra touch layer for the AF. That's the only real answer unless they have purposely reduced screen brightness to accommodate the extra moving parts i.e. sensor stabilization. Anyway, great meeting you guys. Great review as always! Hope to see you at the next one!

I think it's another measure to keep the overheating under control. The A5100 has a much brighter touch screen than this. Great meeting you as well Mark! Jordan @ TCSTV

nice shots.

WHOUW - B-B-B-Beautiful stills - both the B&W , and the coloured ones - fine time in youre guy´s company - as usual ,- :)

awesome! good vid.!!!

i have a technical question regarding external microphones. is it possible to use some splitter cable when connecting a mic to the camera, so that you can plug in headphones to the extra end of the cable? or perhaps there are some external microphones that support headphone monitoring directly?

Over the last week i have seen almost all video reviews uploaded for a6500; this one is the best one and am not surprised. Great Clicks and really well shot. At 5:18 though, Chris your face does look odd w.r.t your body, camera is too close to you? Will see your XT2 review again; can't remember if that one overheats in 4k. For some reason Fuji cameras are too expensive in India while Sony are the same price as in US/Japan.

I know I would like to see some more video centric reviews. Aside from the fs7 review the last video camera review was the Sony ax100 I think. I'd love to see Jordan review some of the 1 inch sony pro camcorders or especially the JVC LS300. Or maybe a quick after dark episode educating beginners on the differences between dslr/mirrorless video and the more professional dedicated video cameras, I know that would be helpful for myself. Thanks!

In the overheating-test with the 2 a6300 and 3 a6500, do you know what firmware you where using? Did the a6300 have v2.0 or had it not been released yet? I'm trying to tell the differens between a6300 and a6500 regarding the overheat-problem or if they are the same with the firmware 2.0 in the a6300?

Great review. 10:09 Jordan your fly's open.

is there a gallery where we can see the test pictures you take with the cameras you review?

For a video and stills shooter getting their first mirrorless camera, would you recommend the a6500 or the a6300? Is the ibis really worth the extra cost as I lean more towards the video side of things? (The extended buffer is nice but I don't think I'll really use it.)

this is what is great about both off you, you tell it as it is. great review thanks. PS can you do the olympus em1 m2

Should I buy Sony a6500 or Canon 80D? I am looking to do some photography but later on would switch it for recording videos. Like you said a6500 produces best images but which one has better features for recording videos? COnsidering headphone jack, 4k videos and battery issues

great video

Great review guys! Thanks for sharing! 17:07 - if The Camera Store is selling the a6500 for $400, I'll take two ;)

I got a 600d/t3i atm and i'm looking for an upgrade soon. I do mostly hand held video and take a few pictures every here and there so what's your guys' opinion on whether i should get the a6500 or the 80d?

Hi Guys, Great reviews. Just want to get your opinion of which camera to go for when choosing FujiFilm X-T20 & Sony a6500. Do you have preference on which of the 2 you would personally choose?

Curious to what lens was used on the 6500 for the tracking test on the face..Native lens will do way better for that..Could be why it didn't do to well.

Question! Did you use any picture profiles to film this footage? If you didn't, did you only colour grade the footage? Only asking because I am trying to get a similar look. Cheers :)

Thanks for the great review guys, However one constructive criticism is ... I wish you had done some fast moving sports shots, because really that is one of the aspect where this camera is meant to shine :(. Maybe with the next one? cheers.

So you mentioned it not being a huge improvement over the 6300. More like a 6300s. But what about someone who still has the 6000? Do you think it's a recommendation for someone who mostly shoots stills, and very little video?

damn, wish I knew y'all were in town. I would have crashed your shoot. 😀

Does the touch-focus work on the touchscreen, with the MC-11 adapter attached (or metabones, or Sony's own LA-EA3/EA4)?

Thanks Guys...I am sold this is a big upgrade from my A6000 now do I need to worry about pre-ordering or can I just come down to the Store on Dec 6 and get one?

The best reviews on KZread! Question: I’m making the jump to Sony. I’m phasing out my nikon kit. I primarily shoot real estate stills/video as well as help with wedding videos. I have decided to go with the A6500. I’m having a hard time choosing my lenses. I need a wide angle for stills as well as may be a zoom and a prime or two, possibly one as a macro. Any suggestions??

@TheCameraStoreTV my sony a6500 produces a lot of noise at ISO 320 and above.... Is this normal?

Great review guys! Would recommend this as an upgrade from the canon G7X for shooting daily videos for its price then? If not, is there any other models you will recommend?

Could you advise. Sony A6300 or A6500 vs Panasonic G85 ?

thanks for the facts, informative,

Ok everyone, thank you so much for helping me decide on the Sony RX100 V. I bought it and should be getting it in the mail today. This is going to by my main family shooter for on the go, and my do it all camera and video shooting for on the quick, restaurants, random parks, just my all around go to camera. However, I am looking for VIDEO now. I was looking hard at the X53 and X100, but then I go to thinking that if I am going to spend that kind of money on a video camera, why not just buy a super high quality camera that can record video too! Get two for one. I am sure lots of people have done this. I am liking 4K high quality, and the ability to shoot for long periods of time with it, without heating problems. The RX100 V will be great for that short term shot for sure, but if I want something longer I will need the video camera or camera that is video as well. Thus is why I am here. My main question is should I buy the a6500 or the a99ii? I watched a video on KZread and the a99ii looks like it blew the a6500 out of the water as far as video quality. The a6500 does seem good though. I have just heard that the mount system is better on the a6500 and will be supported for longer and with more lens as opposed to the A mount of the a99ii. I am also thinking that if I want that perfect family shot I could always bring out the big guns of the a99ii or a6500 and take the shot when we have time, record longer videos and just have a really nice camera and video camera as well. I mean am I crazy for thinking this way? Should I just buy the x53 for videos and keep the RX100 for Stills? Please let me know what you guys think because you have been very helpful, but I am thinking of having this setup for my new family for years and years to come: RX100 V a99ii And one of these lens unless you recommend better: Sony 16-35mm f/2.8 ZA lens or Sony 24-70mm f/2.8 Carl Zeiss Vario Sonnar T Zoom Lens Please let me know what you think. Thanks.

Hey guys what do you think about the zeiss 16-70? Would like to purchase one but i also read some bad reviews about it... What are your experiences with it?

Another person that went to the Sony event. Same question from me (sorry), but I really want to know: Now that we have Touch AF, does that change the fact that the Screen goes black when a HDMI jack is plugged in at 4k?

A6500 or the 7AII really thinking wich on i should chose i cone from a Canon rebel 6i (canon 760)

hey, thanks for the review. can i ask? does VIDEO autofocus work with adapted glass? Does video touch screen focus work with adapted glass? just how good is the video autofocus with adapted glass? any and all info about that that you know would really be great and i think many of us would be interested to know. thanks!!!!

A6500 has a new metering mode: highlight, which is first introduced into the ILCE and ILCA series of Sony cameras.

Hey Chris & Jordan, grt job u guys rock ...can u plz compare 6500 with 80 d for still and video? Would love to hear from I before buying one. Thx

If i am only shooting on sony lenses (18-100) is the image stabilizer that big of a deal? i will eventually get a motorized gimble for now i have a normal non motor one. And you said you CANT turn off the over heating on the a6300 but ive seen other reviews that say you can ? i know its added firmware right ? Please get back to me because i am about to pull the trigger ! thank you for the reviews.

Hey Jordan, thanks for sharing your knowledge. If you had to buy one evil camera right now with a 1300$ budget, which one would you buy? Mainly for still photos and good video occasionally.thanks.

What's the best video autofocus, lowlight, and small size (gimbal use) camera out there?

Hi. I'm currently using Sony a7ii. But coming from a GH4 as my first camera, i really miss the 4k video and the slow motion of 96fps. Eversince i sold my gh4 i've miss the video capabilites but i dont miss the stills on the Gh4 as it is mediocre. Now the question is it a good idea to sell my A7ii and get the A6500?

So what would you say ? a6500 or 80D? What do you personally find yourself using more and what do you legitimately prefer?

When was this video filmed? I was just in Austin three days ago and it was nice and cool! I've been watching all of your videos from recent cameras, trying to decide on what to get. Thanks for your work!

This was filmed Nov. 15-18. It was pretty toasty then!

I'm thinking of getting this camera for video, what would be a good all around lens for shooting video? Thanks. I always look forward to videos from the TCS, just done very good. Very enjoyable to watch.

Is there a way to monitor the audio levels on screen?

When does it come out!?

I am seeing this kind of thing more with other makes too. Not just Sony. I think the a6500 for what it is, and its intended audience should have been more. Not money wise, but the details like the Headphone out. The touchscreen is a nice feature when done well too. These are expensive cameras, not some bargain plastic body 1st timer camera. I love the Apple comparison too. Hmmm, the iPhone 7 doesn't have a Headphone jack either. Could it be? Nah, just couldn't resist. As always, your reviews are great stuff. Keep up the great work Chris, and Jordon. I always look forward to your videos.

I'm looking for a small form factor camera I can use for KZread AND take on my travel to take stock photos. Would this be better than a Black Magic Pocket?

Very nice review canadian friends

I was ready to buy a Panasonic g85 until I started reading about the a6500. It seems like the faster autofocus in video is worth the extra cash. I'm hoping prices come down a bit when more places have them in stock.

The biggest questions that I have about the over-heating test is: what brand of cards were used in the cameras? And What were the rated read/write speed of the cards?

Looking to upgrade from Canon 7D. I've been looking at A6500 vs OM-D E-M1 Mark ii. I shoot mainly inside pics of kids, outside sports, and low light events. I'm also wanting something for video, but I'm willing to get a dedicated video camera if needed, like maybe the FZ2500. Any advice is appreciated, thanks!

Did you notice that the cameras with the bigger lens stay more time recording? That is because the lens help to dissipate more heat. Test them again with the same lens at the same time

Does Max Yuryev had review copies provided by Sony? If so, that explains lack of overheating issues in Max's tests.

Hey guys, just wanted to know your opinion. Due to the time frame and features, is it worth getting the a6500 as an upgrade to the A6000? I'm considering the up grade as to stay in the same sony ecosystem. * (sidenote) I definitely think If I was a A6300 owner I would pass on the A6500.

Jordan, will the Sony XLR-K2M/K1M mic attachment work on the a6500?
