Fantastic quality. Thank you sr.

So glad I found your channel I like how you explain everything.

Thank you for th review a6600 .

It's the camera that I want. for working with dslr and gimbal I have back pain.

My man .. great stuff as always. I’m thinking about selling the a6400 but I’ve been mainly using it for the studio and the RX100 7 for on the go and I love it. Might just hold out for the A7S3

Now, I’m not sure wether to go with the a7r III or the a6600. But I think I’m really leaning toward the a6600 for all the new features and price!! Thanks for your input!

I really like your content and view on things...generally. I do think you're to kind with Sony lately. With the a6600 for instance. Yes it brings a bigger battery, IBIS, headphone jack but it's the same sensor, the evf is really not good, the back screen is terrible (for me) and no mention of the huge price tag. The new 16-55 looks very cool but when you look at all the e-mount lenses going for full frame lenses seems to be the better choice. So I was hopping for a bigger aps-c body to balance those lenses. In fact after writing this down I realize that Sony is just doing Sony from few years ago 😬 I'm still curious on what the ASIII will bring to the table !

My a6400 was the camera I wanted at any price point. The better processor, better focus, and no overheating, all in the small package. I can put my camera in my hoodie pocket and walk around. The 6600 is just getting bigger and bigger until the a7000 is just another FF camera. That’s not what I want! Of course I can’t pocket it with my 700 gram Viltrox 85! Try this lens for portraiture and street shots. It is amazingly sharp and focus is butter. 🧈 Love your no nonsense reviews! Good shooting!

This is really helpful thanks so much for this video. I picked up the 6500 last week but took it back in exchange for the 6600. They are about the same price range but the 6600 seems to be a better pick. Can I ask, what kind of mic are you using? Audio was really clear in this vid. Thanks

Sad day. Great releases....but was hoping for an updated sensor and video specs! I want that better bit rate and 4K 60!

Rolling shutter still a major problem :(

Other Half Brewery! So good.

Looks like I’m sticking to my a6300, been using it for 3 years. Fuji really has me curious, at least they’re innovating.

It honestly seems more like the 6400 and 6600 were introduced to attract buyers who'd never bought a Sony aps-c camera before and not existing owners looking for an upgrade. There just isn't a lot of compelling "new stuff" for someone who already owns a 6300 or 6500.

I’m a hybrid. I actually started out shooting video & editing. Then started doing portrait photography when I got the a6300. I’m honestly tempted to switch to Fuji

I think this is an excellent review. What camera did you use for your presentation? Next, I see criticism about the camera being overpriced, etc., and that it doesn't shoot 4K video in 60fps. I can't afford the Sony a9 or those other higher end video cameras. So, does the the Sony a6600 still prevail over other devices like the Panasonic Lumix GH5 because of its auto focus capabilities? I have a Canon M50 and its auto focus was terrible when I tried to shoot a 5k race. I am an amateur, old, and I don't have enough reflexes (or eyesight) to do it manually.

The A6600 will release in November, and the body will cost $1,400 in the US. Sony is releasing a bundle that includes an 18-135mm E-mount lens for $1,800.

The eye AF (on a6600) vs face AF (on a6400), is it really worth it at night and during the day for subjects that are more than 2 meters away? In addition if one owns a OSS i hear its better than IBIS? hence the OSS with a6400 better than a6600 with IBIS and no OSS lens. IF these are reasonable facts than the price difference makes the a6400 substantially more valuable.

Folks seem pretty upset about the recycled hardware but for me the biggest sin is chunking out the grip but not adding a command dial on the front of it. These cameras have aways been a pain in the ass to use and they had a shot to alleviate a lot of the hassle but didn't take it.

I have the A6600 and use it in tandem with the A6400 usually using two different focal length (although at times, I use a modern lens and a legacy lens) but, I opted for the Tamron 28-75mm f.2.8 lens rather than the 16-55mm f/2.8. That way, I can use that lens to switch between my APSC and full-frame bodies. I do love the Tamron and I like it on an APSC camera since the shorter 42mm equivalent focal length is great for shooting people. If I want wider, I will use a 12mm Rokinon f/2.0 lens on the second APSC camera, I switched from Canon and used a 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS II lens on my 7D Mark-2. However, looking back at my use, I didn't get a lot of use out of this lens because of the large weight and size of the Canon combination. I purchased the new Sony 70-350mm f/4.5-5.6 G OSS lens because the combination on my A6400 weighs less than half of what the Canon combination weighed. At half the weight of the Canon combination and half or less than half the price of a Sony 200-600mm or the 100-400mm lenses, I can be very happy with the marvelous little 70-350mm G OSS lens...

it's just a6500 with small improvements, larger battery but with a reduced jpg/raw buffer and removed flash. Without new sensor with 4k60 10 bits and the same bad IBIS the a6600 should cost no more than 1100-1200 $

This is the most positive a6600 review I've seen. I have an a6400 and will not upgrade to get IBIS and a better battery for $500 more.

I'm a Fuji user so I admit my bias, but I really feel like their commitment to APSC really renders Sony's efforts kind of lackluster. It's nice to see them bringing out these new, high quality lenses but their choice of body design I feel doesn't really support these kinds of larger lenses effectively. And while their AF remains impressive, both Fuji and Canon are pushing for better IQ with newer sensors and, in the case of Fuji, better video quality and features. Really, these aren't major complaints and I have no doubt anyone with the know-how would be able to create amazing images and videos with this gear, but considering how forward thinking Sony has been with a lot of their full frame and compact cameras, it's disappointing to see a smaller step forward like this.

You took the words right out of my mouth re: Fuji’s own non-stabilized 16-55mm glass. Optically excellent, but weirdly bereft of the OSS they gave to their optically-inferior but still very decent kit lens, the 18-55mm. Why no OSS when Fuji’s best camera, the X-T3 lacks ibis?

I appreciate your videos about the latest and greatest Sony cameras and lenses, but am wondering if Nikon or Canon ever invite you to their product events? I'm an amateur/hobbyist photographer and have Canon gear. It's rather daunting to consider the investment $$$ necessary to make the switch to another camera system. I'm curious about your take on the new Canon EOS 90D. It seems to me to be the last hurrah for APS-C digital SLRs. No doubt a mirrorless version of that camera would be superior, but I imagine Canon invested a lot of time and money in what is essentially an upgrade to the 80D before switching their engineering resources to playing catch-up to Sony in mirrorless.

This is the only video I have seen of the a6600 that has praised the IBIS. The rest have praised the fact it has IBIS but its actual use/efficacy has been lacking. This is also the only video that I have seen that has called upgrading to an a6600 to be a "no brainer." I haven't used, let alone even held the camera, but I'm not convinced , especially by price, it's a slam upgrade.

As usual a good balanced, honest and useful review. Thanks.

As a camera sales person I hope they don't pull the a6000 as that is the camera i use to get people into the ecosystem. Asking someone to bring up their budget by $100-150 is doable but by $200-300 is a big push.

Why wouldn't you just put the full frame lenses on them since they are all E Mount?

@They Caged Non It's nice that you've heard about aperture being based on focal length, but if you do not know about a topic and you only know one tidbit of information then you should not give definitive answers. F/1.4 on a lens the size of a pinhead is not the same as F/1.4 on a lens the size of the Earth. Although the pinhead's F/1.4 is relative to focal length, the F/1.4 pinhead transmits less total light to a smaller sensor area and produces a lower electric charge from the photon wells. F/2.0 on your smart phone is not the same as F/2.0 on a Full Frame sensor. That's the reason why you don't get F/2 bokeh on your smart phone. Although the phone's lens is "F2" you're actually getting F/11 bokeh and the camera app must attempt to blur the background artificially. Although the phone's lens is "F2" you're actually getting F/11 Full Frame equivalent light transmission, and therefore your phone isn't so great in low light. 5mm F/2.0 on a 1/2.3" sensor is the equivalent of 28.2mm F/11.2 on Full Frame 35mm F/1.4 on APS-C is the equivalent of 53.5mm F/2.1 on Full Frame Check mmcalc

"Why should someone buy A6600+ 16-55 f2.8 instead of Sony A7III + Tamron 28-75 f2.8? " Because it is FF and much bigger especially for very fast lenses and zooms. Also you compare a completely new camera + lense to older ones that have already gone down in price. The APS-C lineup of Sony is not massive but 3d party lenses are excellent. Exspecially the f1.4 Sigma trio.

1:57 my brain says this shot needs to be rotated 180 degrees ; )

Personally I'd love to see them move to the a7 body for APSC. Make the viewfinder removable, so the flip up screen is still workable (would also mean you could upgrade to a better viewfinder if you wanted to). The body would still be small, but the extra size would allow for better heat management and IBIS

I am thinking to keep my a6500 for now and wait for a6700.

The price of the lenses made my head hurt. I still love to fart around with my a6000. The only thing i wish it had was the stabilized sensor, but thats why i moved up to the full frame bodies.

The a6600 will plummet in price over the next year. A7iii is the same price in the uk.

I was waiting for apsc glass for Sony but not at that price. Will stick with Sigma.

Really think that if you want an APS-C system, just get the Fuji cameras like X-T3 ($1299 right now) that can shoot in 4K up to 60p. It can also shoot 10 bit video internally as well as externally. The body is weather sealed contains the latest 26mp BSI sensor and is a joy to use with Fuji interface of dials. The Fuji color science is the best. You can also get the X-H1 with battery grip and 3 batteries for $999. This body is really amazingly engineered with IBIS that is effective unlike the Sony. The body is weather sealed and has Fuji’s fantastic ergonomics. The dampened shutter is the best I have ever used. Fuji has an exhaustive lens catalog that is optically extensive and weather sealed with fantastic build. Right now, you can get the excellent X-H1 with grip and 16-55 mm 2.8 lens for $1699 right now, which is a bargain. I moved from the A6500 to the Fuji and have been really happy. Fuji is the only manufacturer that makes a complete APS-C system.
