Sony ILCE6600/B Alpha A6600 Mirrorless Camera, Black

This camera has exceeded every expectation that I had. Images are razor sharp, autofocus is amazingly fast, the battery life is beyond anything in my experience, and it is a perfect size for my needs. Having owned Yashicas, Rollei, Lumix, Fujifilm and many others...I would definitely buy a Sony again. What an amazing camera and the kit lens is sharp, even in low light.

The A6600 is an excellent camera. The image quality and colors are great. I did end up returning it for the Sony A7iii because I needed some other features that it provided. But I still highly recommend the A6600 based on the build quality and image quality alone.

I bought this after spending a long time researching different Sony cameras. I used to swear by Canon and have a lot of handheld documentary-style and interview filmmaking under my belt as well as social media content creation. I have filmed using an A7Siii in a studio environment and that was the main alternative to this that I was considering. I also looked at the older a6500 as a slightly cheaper alternative. Here's what sold me: - the flip-up touchscreen; - slightly improved processing and body construction; - better ISO sensitivity. I found a deal (separately) on the Carl Zeiss f/4 16-70mm lens and the image quality is staggering on both photo and video. I do mostly documentary-style interviews, vlogging / informational videos, and webinars. I found a simple converter for less than $100 that makes it simple to use this as a 1080p beautiful webcam. This camera is a joy to use. If you use it for long periods of time (as I do in a studio setting), consider finding a dummy A/C power battery to prevent overheating (a very common Sony issue for any shoots longer than ~45min). Sony's autofocus and color settings are simply the best. It would be nice to have dual SD card slots, but that's really the only thing I miss when I consider the much more expensive a7siii.

I have been using a Canon G9x, Canon G7x ii, and T3i (mostly with 17-50mm 2.8, 70-250mm, 50mm 1.4). I used the t3i for pictures of my kids (sports, portraits, etc). I really needed faster burst shooting and better focus for track meets. I wanted to stay with Canon (just because that is what I'm familiar with), but I wasn't happy with EF-M options (bodies and lenses). I didn't want to go full frame (f2.8 lenses $$$). I decided I wanted to go mirrorless, and I couldn't wait for some rumored Canon APS-C mirrorless. So, I ended up going with A6600 + Tamron 17-70 2.8 + Tamron 70-180mm 2.8 + sigma adapter for 50mm 1.4. I'm very happy. The fast burst speed is great. A bigger buffer would be nice, but not a big deal for me. The focus is everything I was hoping it would be. I love the eye focus. I love the subject tracking. I love that there are so many focus options (area size, position, tracking, flex, etc). I'm also very happy with the size of the 2 lenses. Some people, complain that the touch screen can't be used for the menu. That doesn't bother me at all. I prefer buttons. I don't use the touch screen for menus on my Canon G7X. I prefer the ergonomics of my T3i. I miss the front dial, but I'm quickly getting used to the top/rear dials. I first ordered the a6400, but the grip just felt too small for the 70-180 lens, so I didn't use it at all. I put it right back in the box and ordered the a6600. I'm much happier with the bigger grip. I like the bigger battery. The extra custom buttons and the IBIS are a nice bonus.

Highly recommend! A+++

Very happy with the new A6600, especially using it with the Sony Le-ae alpha 5 mount adaptor which allows the older screw driven minolta lenses to work their glorious magic. I include a night shot from Busch gardens 2021 Christmas town at the clock tower. I used the Minolta 30-70 mm F4 lens at 35mm(52 mm ff equiv) Iso 2000 at 1/80th secs hand held with just a light touch of lightening in edit.. otherwise straight from the camera. This was just using the auto selection. No detectable noise and no NR needed in PP. Your old alpha glass with the Le5 adaptor responds quickly while auto focusing, even the old screw driven glass. There is no slt mirror like that in the the La-ea4 so focusing with the older glass happens at the sensor...no micro adjustments needed.(The option is available if you are using the Le2 or the le 4 adaptors on these cameras as per the instructions) Get the "Dave" book for the a6600 that goes into better detail as to how to work the camera and the PDF of the SONY manual is on the purchase page of this camera as well. it doesn't have a built in flash but many lowlight shots don't need one as the noise floor for darker shots has been dramatically lowered in the higher ISO ranges. Many options are available for flash or steady light options with adjustable lumens if desired. Battery life is good for single shots but I'm not a video shooter so others will have better insights as to how long the battery lasts with video. 400 shots in so far with the Le-ae5 in place with 80 percent battery still showing Edit 5/23/23: Camera still going strong and for those who don't know this or have read wrong info...this camera DOES have IBIS or in body stabilization image stabilization.(*and a very effective one!!) I added this edit after reading an amazon review that said the 6600 did not have this feature.

Brand new camera. All good. Superb battery life as expected. Feels burlier in the hand compared to my old a6500 but not by much. I bought this over the new a6700 because of less bulk/size and I hate the articulating screen on the a6700.

A câmera é incrível, uma alta qualidade de captação e excelente equipamento para filmagem e foto.

Excellent product. Video and photo are both incredible for it

I am using this camera for my tv production. Great image. Love the battery life.

Great camera!!!

Compact, facile d'utilisation, photos de superbe qualité
