Pros: La Cantidad de funciones y posibilidades que tiene, el tamaño, wifi, manejo por smart, muchisimas funciones.

Cons: Poca nitidez

Opinion: La compre hace un mes ya que la presentan como una de las preferidas de este segmento, pero a pesar de usarla con varios lentes no logro la nitidez que deseo, no se porque, al punto tal que estoy pensando en venderla, si alguien puede ayudarme a como mejorar la calidad de mis fotos con esta camara estaria agradecido, tal vez sean los lentes que no son full frame

Pros: Stabilizer, magnesium body, viewfinder, image quality, iso sealing.

Cons: Maybe touch

Opinion: I took this camera as a replacement for the a6000 compared to the latter I gained the stabilizer really effective even in the evening, a body just minute but with a good grip. In terms of image quality there is a significant step forward in terms of high ISO with the a6000 already at 400 iso there was beginning to be an annoying grain, now it starts from 1600 ISO it is usable up to 3200 use Without problems. Excellent viewfinder very defined, crazy af speed. It is the best evolution of the a6000 for me, complete in all video field even if I use it little for this purpose it allows spectacular shots the stabilizer helps but a gimbal is a must. In the photographic field with good optics gives the best of itself, the files are not at all far from the smooth a7 that I had previously at the iso level we are there. It is a great compromise for those looking for a good body, sturdy size and practicality. For battery life, if you have the foresight to use the standby or turn it off, you can take 500 shots with a single battery, with long exposures less but always around 300 two or three batteries and you are fine.

Pros: Small,4k video, stabilizer, price, image quality and burst

Cons: Battery life, complex and unergonomic menu

Opinion: I bought it for € 500 used with a 16 F/2.8 vermante satisfied with perfect video side, reduced price, excellent image quality, and 11 fps burst, the batteries last not very long but it is solved by buying a few more. The menu is a bit complex but you just have to understand it and then it's easy to hold in your hand but you just need a rig and everything is solved. I was vermante satisfied even if out of production the I recommend to start is fine and is also good for semi-professional use.

Pros: Portability, AWB, dynamic range, stabilization and AF.

Cons: Battery life, it is easily solved with a couple of spare, and the menu but even here in a short time you can set the camera according to your needs.

Opinion: Socket used a few days ago by Rce in Riviera Tito Livio in Padua with just over 5000 shots and 2 years warranty; what to say except that, from my previous Nex6 , it is a nice step forward. Stabilized, tropicalized, excellent sensor and excellent AWB and a good AF make it, despite being out of production, an excellent camera for those like me who are passionate about photography and want a camera body that is not bulky and with pro features.

Pros: Ridiculous footprint, quality images, beautiful videos, many possibilities of customization, stabilization, ISO sealing, focus

Cons: Ergonomics, menus to study as a language, battery not durable (but not exaggerated), colors difficult to handle

Opinion: The spark didn't snap with this Sony unfortunately. I came from a Canon 6D, full frame reflex, and after a year I have to say that I never really felt it mine. It is very small and I found the grip uncomfortable. It's edgy, it's not very pleasant to hold in my hand for me. The weight and size, however, make you carry it always and anyway, you put it in your bag and you don't even notice it. I have to say that from a technical point of view it's crazy, the photos I took never made me regret 6D and I didn't expect that. It keeps THE ISO well, always beautiful night shots with a nice clean black. Crazy focus. The colors are very difficult to govern... The file is workable to the far-fetched but if you are not very prone to post-produce is not the right machine, they must be interpreted and modeled. Really cool video side, I made 4k videos with the profile "cine4" and dirty misery looked like a movie. The color profile menu is a really technical thing to study for hours on end, but if you cheat the right profile it gives you a lot of satisfaction. The problem with this machine is that of general usability... Menus are complicated and certain items are also mistranslated. I happened to have changed parameters to make a shot or a video, and once I finished I took several minutes to find that menu item to restore everything. There is not even the classic "my menu" section, there are just 3 customizable buttons on the body but that are only 3. Basically it's not a point and shoot machine, it's a well of technology that you have to know how to handle from snap to click and that also forces you to stay so long in front of the PC to work the files. The quality is indisputable but it is not immediate at all. I'm going to move on to Fuji, it seems better suited to my approach. The a6500 I will definitely remember it for its excellent quality but I don't think I'll miss having it in my hand and using it
