Description
The Sony Alpha A6600 is a fast mirrorless camera for advances and professional photographers. With real-time focus tracking technology, you can keep moving subject in view sharply. Combined with the continuous shooting mode of 11 fps, you can sharply capture fast actions. Think of athletes. Real-time Eye Autofocus is useful for videographer and vloggers. With this, the camera keeps focusing on the eyes. You can record videos in 4K resolution at 30 fps. Thanks to the HDR function, this produces detailed images with high contrasts in Full HD at 120 fps. Optic image stabilization reduces motion blur. The technology corrects across 5 axes, so you can take photos at a slower shutter speed of up to 5 stops.

Recommended for serious hobbyists!
- Quality photos, very sharp when using good aps-c lenses
- Relatively good photos in low light
- Internal stabilization (IBIS), very useful when using in low light and with Sigma lenses, for example
- No 4k/60fps
Upgrade from Sony A6000 to A6600. Advantage with this series: you can continue to use all lenses. Is much nicer in the hand than the A6000 because of the huge battery. Shooting photos for a day is fine, although I would be a little more careful with 4k video. RAW photo quality is good, use Adobe suit for the editing which works smoothly. Body is relatively expensive compared to the A6400 and A6500, should have been 1300. This A6600 is the best you can buy in Sony APS-C country and for that you get a good camera, with a large arsenal of lenses. Be prepared to learn about the Sony system, because the menus are very extensive. However, you can find enough videos on YouTube that help you with every setting. Recommended!

Sony A6600 is a good camera but this lens is for beginner
- Build quality
- Eye auto focus
- Small size
- 50mm f/1.8 lens is slow during AF
The 50mm f/1.8 lens is a bit slow on autofocus specially in video mode. Also, it makes noises during continuous autofocus. It's not a big deal in stills but the camera will record the motor noises during the video shooting which is a headache. Overall, the Sony A6600 is a good camera but the lens is for beginner and ideal for portrait photography. It gives you sharp images.

Fills the gap between compact camera and full frame well
- Hardly any setup, ready to go
- Small and light, great stabilization
- Hardly any difference in image between my A7C and the a6600
- Small
Starts up quickly and focuses fast. Excellent travel companion due to its low weight.
