Give it TO ME!

I recently purchased a Sony A6500 and love it. I was going to wait for the new model to come out but, picked up this camera with an MC-11 adapter and cage plus two extra batteries used at a good price. I am very happy that I did - I love my A6500! My plans are to eventually pick up the A6500 replacement and use both cameras as a two camera setup. My favorite factors are: IBIS, focus peaking and Eye-AF. The 50mm f/1.8 OSS is a great little portrait lens and I have (somewhat limited) use of my Canon glass with the MC-11 adapter. I have also purchased two manual focus "niche" lenses which are fun to shoot with: a Russian 55mm f/2 Helios and a Night Owl 75mm f/1.7 surveillance camera lens. The IBIS and focus peaking make using these lenses a breeze...

I bought one in January 2019. This one ticks all the boxes for me and I couldn't be bothered waiting for a new model.

Thank you, this helped me a lot

U nailed every detail I need to know man great job with this video much respect...I was going to get the a7ii since it's on sale but I already invested on the a6000 with so many sigma lens and I have two sony lens I know will fit the ff version but the others i have to spend so much 😣...knowing now you use a6500 for weddings etc I'm confident about getting it now

i enjoyed seeing this video footage. keep going 👌

In my opinion, the a6500 is a serious camera with great features. If you care about photography, then is a great value for money. If you are thinking like a gadget maniac, then keep watching reviews in KZread and spend your money every time that something new is released on the market.

Happy New Year, Ditch Very good review of the Sony a6500. Auto! As a Fujifilm X-T3 landscape and product photographer, I am extremely pleased with the image quality I get from this camera, combined with the stellar, sharp Fujinon XF optics. However, I am researching a small, light "travel camera", as I don't want to expose my X-T3 system to the vagaries of landscape photography in a beach/ocean setting. For that very limited, occasional use, I was considering such cameras as the Fuji X70, Sony a6000 kit, Panasonic LX100II, or possibly the Oly OMD-EM1 II, or Sony RX100V. However, based on other test reviews of the X70 (or even the fixed 28mm lens of the X-T100x series), more than one have said that the fixed 23 or 28mm Fujinon lens just is not that sharp, especially when compared to that on the Ricoh GR series. My MAIN criteria are image SHARPNESS and detail retention, and ability to retain such detail when possibly printed to 20x24". (Thus, my hesitancy to go m4/3.). Plus, I'd like to keep total budget for both camera and lens to around $1000. And, FYI, I'm a stills guy, so don't shoot video. Based on this, would you still recommend the a6000, or other compact camera (either fixed or interchangeable lens)? Thank you!

Great video. I watch some KZread video and reviewers are saying that when you do video, the screen get washed out in the sun. Does this happen when you take photos?

Is the overheating issue fixed in 4k with the a6500?

I shoot with the 6300. I switched from SLR to mirrorless for the form factor, so I prefer the smaller APS-C lenses. What lenses do you use when you are traveling and shooting stills?

Still loving my A6300 in 2019. I have sorted out all of the workarounds, and I love A6300 even wth all of its quirks and low tech LCD. The image quality, AF, low light, and 4k are still mind blowing. I don't plan to upgrade even for the A6700 or whatever comes after the A6400 is called.

The a6500 didn't actually solve any of the problems with the a6300 (nor was it Sony's intent to do so). It only added features. Apart from the added features (touch screen, and stabilization) the camera are identical. Problems like overheating were taken care of the same time (to both cameras) with firmware updates. These were essentially the same firmware updates.

Nice video. I’d appreciate your recommendation. I’m a original adopter NEX6 that I’ve had since launch. Has been ok but showing its age, lack of decent autofocus and no IBIS. Have a decent apsc lens library. I shoot mainly stills. Would you recommend 1. Buy the discounted a6500 2. Buy the a6600 and use the lens library I have. Worth it over the a6500? 3. Upgrade to a7iii/a7iv , invest in new glass, and keep my NEX6 for travel.

2 years using a6500, I only use it as backup video /photo cam. For photos, Need to use raw as its jpg is soft. Color science remains an issue - green shift that is hard to correct in post. color shifting is real especially with small ISO changes. Slog2/3 easily becomes noisy and has lots of artifacts in higher iso. 120fps is noisy after 1600iso, a little jittery due to xavcs compression. 4k still overheats, yes it does , 4k has heavy rolling shutter, autofocus is slower and ibis seems to be disabled. 1080p is soft, need to use sigma art lenses all the time. Battery life is abyssmal. Overall it’s a good cam but i wont use this as my main cam for events. canons are my workhorses.

Second, why would you limit yourself to the two manufacturers of APS-C cameras that don’t have IBIS? I will admit that I like unstabilized small prime lenses, that I often shoot handheld with slow shutter speeds, and that I use composition methods that involve overall image sharpness. For me, the IBIS on the 6500 is one of its best features. What is it about your shooting style that makes you not care about this? I hope you don’t take this wrong. I am genuinely puzzled.
