Customer Ratings & Reviews

wish it was a little cheaper, bought it when it was slightly on sale, overall im satisfied with the camera, hoping to go full frame down the road, but this is a great camera for travels. if you get one good all around lens thats all you need, but then again it depends on what and how you like to shoot.

This little guy is extremely capable for photos and video. As much as I love it of course nothing is perfect, rolling shutter, overheating and terrible battery life definitely cause a bit of heart burn but all of these things can be easily countered with proper planning.

I bought this Camera almost a year ago and it has been good to me ever since. I main use this as my main camera to film weddings. The low light capabilities and the IBIS make this ideal for weddings. This paired with the Sigma 30mm, 16mm, 18-105 F/4, or the 50mm 1.8 yield very high quality images. Negatives would be the battery life is not great when shooting in 4K and the screen dims so it's hard to see in bright light. Would highly recommend.

Hands down this camera is perfect. I wish it had a screen that I could see when vlogging, but everything else is great.

Like to shoot tethered to my Samsung tablet good image quality hard on batteries but images are great.

I did a bit of research before making this purchase. I switched from an 'entry level' Canon DSLR to what I consider to be a semi-pro mirrorless. I chose the a6500 because of the in body image stabilization (IBIS), the ability to use my canon lenses (with the purchase of an adapter), and the 'eye focus.' So far, I am amazed. I get shots that my old Canon couldn't dream of getting. I can't wait to get more glass for this beauty - it's really rekindled my love for photography.

Just getting started working with photography and it is very easy to use and takes great quality shots!

Love this camera for both photos and video. Great size for someone not wanted the weight of a full frame.

Great camera stills and video. Pricey but worth it. Would recommend !

I upgraded form a6300 and I am very happy with it. I can use lenses without OSS now and not worry much about blurriness. The biggest con is definitely the touch screen. In short it is terrible. Come on Sony! Why put a screen that phones had in the year 2000?! Its 2017!

The sony a6500 is an amazing camera,great image quality and fast focusing.Buy spare batteries.

Great Crop Sensor camera. Very light and easy to carry around. Image quality great.

As far as you know how to handle it it will deliver good images. The auto focus is insane and tracking subjects is quite good. I wish it would have more buttons to control it but overtime you can definitely get to master it.

the in body image stabilization, the auto focus, and the color rendition is fantastic

Very good you would really like it great pictures very easy to use

This camera is great . The WiFi como ability to send the pictures to my smart phone let’s me show the clients there pictures on the go !

Light, compact, and easy to start capturing your adventures

I tried the A6300 and being an amateur and having very shaky hands the pictures were blurred at times.. I have played with this one and I think the IBIS does a great job. Rest is almost similar in comparison to A6300.

The Sony a6500 is a great light weight camera. For that reason it’s a perfect travel companion. I own a Sony aRII, but the camera’s lenses are very expensive and heavy. I bought the a6500, also because they share the same e-mount, so I can use my 55mm prime lens on either camera. I’m very happy with my choice.

This is an awesome piece of kit and will make your photos/videos look like your are a pro. Watch as many tutorials online as possible and/or go to a few classes and you'll be amazed at what this camera can produce with the right lens and camera settings..
