- General
- Brand: Sony
- Model Number: ILCE6600/B
- Product Name: Alpha 6600 APS-C Mirrorless 4K Video Camera (Body Only)
- Color: Black
- Product Set: Body Only
- Camera Model Family: Sony a6600
- Digital Camera Type: Mirrorless Camera Body Only
- Imaging
- Image Sensor Type: CMOS (CCD and CMOS are the two main technologies used in image sensors. CCD, the older of the two types, turns analog light signals into digital pixels. This conversion happens without distortion, resulting in high-quality images. Newer CMOS sensors use transistors at each pixel to move electrical charges. CMOS sensors are typically less expensive, but also require more light to create distortion-free images.)
- Image Sensor Size: APS-C (23.6 x 15.7 mm)
- Total Pixels: 25 megapixels (Generally, the more pixels, the higher the image resolution and the finer the detail that can be seen.)
- Image Resolution (Display): 6000 x 4000 (Refers to the number of pixels, both horizontally and vertically, used to either capture an image or display it. The higher the resolution the finer the image details.)
- Zoom Capability: true (This function allows for magnification of the subject.)
- Digital Zoom: 8x (A digital zoom is accomplished electronically, with no adjustment of the camera's optics, and no optical resolution gained in the process. The existing data is not enhanced or added to, merely displayed at a lower resolution, thereby giving an illusion of an enlarged image.)
- In-Camera Image Stabilization: true (This feature helps reduce image blurring from camera motion. In-camera stabilization means the image sensor itself moves to counteract detected motion.)
- Low Light/High Sensitivity: true (High sensitivity digital imaging devices are designed to work in low light conditions to produce a high dynamic range image.)
- Image File Format(s): JPEG, RAW (Standardized software format(s) of storing digital images. The type of format chosen for capturing and compressing the image can determine quality, level of detail, and storage space required.)
- Focus
- Autofocus: true (Allows the camera to automatically focus through the lens, rather than by adjusting the lens manually.)
- Eye Autofocus (Eye AF): true (Automatically seeks out and focuses on the subject's eye and holds it as the camera and subject move and as the photographer shoots at high frame rates.)
- Exposure Control
- Shutter Speeds: Still images:1/4000 to 30 sec, Bulb, Movies: 1/4000 to 1/4 (1/3 steps), up to 1/60 in AUTO mode (up to 1/30 in Auto slow shutter mode) (The length of time the shutter remains open when the shutter release is activated, expressed in fractions of seconds. The longer the shutter is open, the more light that is able to be captured by the camera sensor.)
- Brightness Control: true (Allows the camera to adjust the brightness of a captured image for optimal exposure.)
- Burst Mode: true (Also referred to as continuous shooting. This feature captures multiple shots in rapid succession.)
- Burst Rate: 11 frames per second
- Self Timer: true
- Self-Timer Delay: 10 seconds
- Shooting Modes: Auto, Programmed AE, Aperture priority, Shutter-speed priority, Movie, Slow & quick motion, Scene selection (Exposure modes employed by the photographer to control the optimal aperture, shutter speed, ISO, and other settings for capturing specific subjects/scenes. Examples include Aperture-Priority, Macro, and Manual modes.)
- Panorama Mode: true
- Scene Modes: Portrait, sports action, macro, landscape, sunset, night scene, hand-held twilight, night portrait, anti motion blur (Exposure modes with predetermined optimal settings for capturing specific scenes. Examples include Landcape, Portrait, and Sports modes.)
- White Balance Modes: Auto, daylight, shade, cloudy, incandescent, fluorescent (warm white, cool white, day white, daylight), flash, underwater, color temperature (2500 to 9900k) & color filter (g7 to m7 (57-step), a7 to b7 (29-step)), custom (Settings that calibrates how the color white is rendered in an image/video, reducing the appearance of unnatural contrasts caused by various light sources.)
- Effective Pixels: 24.2 megapixels (The actual number of pixels which make up the viewable image.)
- Lens
- Lens Mount Compatibility: Sony E-Mount
- In-Lens Image Stabilization: true (This feature helps reduce image blurring from camera motion. Lens stabilization means an element within the lens moves automatically to counteract detected motion.)
- Flash
- Flash Modes: Rear curtain sync, Slow sync, Automatic, Off, Red-eye reduction (The flash feature emits light to increase the brightness of a subject in dimly lit environments. Common modes include Auto and Red-Eye Reduction.)
- Integrated Flash: true
- External Flash Mount: Hot Shoe (A cold shoe is a mounting point on top of a camera to securely attach a flash unit or other compatible accessories. A hot shoe is a cold shoe with an electrical connection that insures communication and synchronization between camera and accessory.)
- Display
- Display Type: TFT-LCD
- Screen Size: 3 inches (Size of the screen, measured diagonally from corner to corner.)
- Screen Resolution: 921600 dots (Screens come in a range of resolutions (measured in pixels, horizontal x vertical). The higher the resolution, the greater the picture quality.)
- Viewfinder Type: Electronic (A viewfinder is the part of a camera (or attachment) that allows you to see and focus a scene in frame. Optical viewfinders let you view the scene directly through the lens. Electronic viewfinders display the image on a screen in its approximate final form.)
- Touch Screen: true (Touch-screen devices make navigating more intuitive. Using a touch-screen display, you can do things such as tap to select, hold and drag to move items, swipe to scroll, and pinch to zoom.)
- Varying Angle Screen: true (The camera's screen can be flipped out and adjusted to rotate, tilt, and/or swivel.)

- Maximum Video Frame Rate: Up to 60 fps (The maximum frequency at which consecutive images can be captured by a video recording device.)
- HDR Mode: true (HDR Mode uses multiple photos taken at different exposures to add more dynamic range to photographs. HDR technology displays content with greater contrast between bright and dark, resulting in clearer and more lifelike images.)

A: Hi Jason, Sony commitment to customer satisfaction is our top priority. Let me provide you with some of the differences of the 2 cameras and let you decide if it's worth upgrading. The A6600 now have 425 contrast detection AF points compared to 169 of A6300. The LCD on the A6600 now tilts 180 degrees and now has touchscreen functions. The A6600 camera also uses the NPZ100 battery which is longer lasting. For other questions and concerns, you can reach us at 239-245-6360. Regards, Larry Sony Social Support
Q: We've had an A65 for years and love it. Was wondering if its worth it to upgrade?
A: I don't have A Sony a6500. But I do have a Sony A6400, A73 and A7R2 so with that said. I believe it was worth to get another body and the A6600 was the best choice for me. 1st the Price is amazing for the technology you get. The focus is amazing. I start using it for video and I mounted on my Zhiyun Crane 2 with a F.2.8 Lens and the focus is spot on. For pictures is the right size went I don’t want to take my A73 or went I don’t want to use my IPhone. The Battery now is the NP-FZ100 is better long lasting. I hope the help good luck.

Sony a6600 excellent Camera
Review of the Sony a6600 Camera The Sony a6600 is a solid choice for enthusiasts and professionals, offering features like a 24.2MP sensor, real-time Eye AF, and in-body stabilization. It excels in image quality and battery life but is held back by a single SD card slot and limited video features. Rating: 4/5 stars Pros: Excellent autofocus, long battery life, compact and durable. Cons: Single SD card slot, limited touch functionality, no 10-bit video.

Love this camera!
This camera is amazing! Battery life is outstanding, thanks to the Z type battery, picture profiles are great when trying to get a specific look in your images or video. It takes stunning pictures and great videos, and there are so many different lenses to choose from native or 3rd party, the customization and possibilities are endless with this super compact light weight camera, the flip up screen is very handy in getting any angle or selfy shots, there are a ton of 3rd party accessories that work great with this camera. Highly recommend
