Sony Alpha a6500 Mirrorless Digital Camera with 16-50mm Lens
Key Features
  • 24.2MP APS-C Exmor CMOS Sensor

  • 3.0" 921.6k-Dot Tilting Touchscreen LCD
Stable, fast, and versatile, the Alpha a6500 from Sony is an apt APS-C-format mirrorless camera well-suited for both photo and video applications. Revolving around a 24.2MP Exmor CMOS sensor and BIONZ X image processor, clean image quality is provided with a wide expandable sensitivity range to ISO 51200, along with accelerated readout speeds for internal 4K30 and Full HD 1080p120 video recording with full pixel readout. The processor further benefits videographers with the inclusion of an S&Q (Slow & Quick) Motion setting that permits capturing Full HD video at a variety of frame rates ranging from 1-120 fps. Stills shooters also benefit from the apt processing speed, which enables continuous shooting at 11 fps for up to 301 JPEGs in a burst, as well as 14-bit raw file output. Complementing both stills and video, 5-axis SteadyShot INSIDE image stabilization minimizes the appearance of camera shake with all mounted lenses to support working with slower shutter speeds. The sensor and processor combination also avails 4D FOCUS, which utilizes a wide-coverage 425-point phase-detection system with a 169-area contrast detection system for quick and precise focusing performance. This focusing system also enables High-density Tracking AF for more efficient and accurate tracking of moving subjects across the image frame. Increasingly versatile and fully featured in both photo and video realms, the a6500 is a fast and precise imaging tool for multimedia capture.

does the a6500 screen dim while shooting 1080p at 120 fps !?
Asked by: Karl
When shooting at higher fps you need more light so for any camera you will get dimmer footage at 120 vs 60/24/30

Flash specs?
Asked by: Joyce P.
I'm sorry but there are no specs for the pop up flash. Generally the mfr does not provide that information. Typically the pop up flash is good for a range of about 15 feet.
