Expand your shooting range

Meet the α6500 — the APS-C interchangeable lens compact camera that puts the power to shoot professional-looking stills and movies solidly in your hands. An enhanced buffer for continuous shooting of up to 307 shots, in-camera 5-axis optical image stabilization, touchscreen control, super-speed AF and High-density Tracking AF Technology extend the range of your shooting capabilities.

World’s highest number (425) of phase-detection AF points

Wide phase-detection AF point coverage

With an incredible 425 focal plane phase-detection AF points densely positioned over the entire image area, this comprehensive AF point coverage ensures that no subject escapes its attention.

Extended buffer for continuous shooting

With the α6500 extending continuous shooting capacity to 307 shots without any drop in shooting speed (for around 36 s with AF/AE tracking), you won’t miss a decisive moment.

Live-view continuous shooting with minimal lag

Shoot moving subjects with optical viewfinder-like immediacy

In live-view continuous shooting at up to 8fps, display lag is kept to an absolute minimum, so you can capture moving subjects as they appear on the EVF or LCD, with optical viewfinder-like immediacy.

Always keep the eye in focus

Eye AF (available with AF-C) not only shows fast, effective auto-focusing performance with eye detection but also keeps steadfast tracking on the eye of a moving subject. Easy maintenance of optimum focus on moving subjects can totally transform your portraiture.

Counteracting five types of camera shake

5.0-stops-faster shutter speed effect

A new, very accurate gyro sensor is a key to image stabilization with the effect of a five-stops-faster shutter speed. This camera shake compensation system is effective for shooting steadier, clearer movies and still images.
