| The APS-C-format 24.2MP Exmor CMOS sensor pairs with the BIONZ X image processor to realize smooth, nuanced image quality with minimal noise and high sensitivity from ISO 100-25600, which can further be expanded to ISO 51200 for working in low-light conditions. The sensor features a unique design that utilizes thin copper wiring, enhanced circuit processing, and an enhanced front-end LSI to boost light-gathering abilities, reduce noise, and increase readout speeds to benefit video recording. The sensor and processor combination also avails a top continuous shooting rate of 11 fps for up to 301 standard JPEG frames or 107 raw frames in a single burst with AF and AE, and permits 14-bit raw file output for a wider tonal and color scale. |
| Packed into the svelte a6500 is a 5-stop effective 5-axis SteadyShot INSIDE image stabilization system that compensates for five different types of camera shake encountered during handheld shooting of stills and video. This allows users to confidently use any lens, even adapted lenses, for critical imaging without encountering blur from camera shake.rnrnFor long focal lengths, the system will correct for pitch and yaw adjustments. Macro and high-magnification imagery, on the other hand, will benefit from the inclusion of horizontal and vertical shift compensation. All shooting styles will get usage out of the roll compensation. All 5 axes of stabilization will function at all times, even when used with third-party lenses and adapters or lenses with built-in optical stabilization. |
| Covering nearly the entire sensor area, a powerful 4D FOCUS system incorporates 425 on-chip phase-detection points along with 169 contrast-detection areas for precise focusing in as little as 0.05 seconds. The density of focusing points from this hybrid AF system also enables High-density Tracking AF Technology, which is adept at tracking moving subjects in a variety of lighting conditions. The use of phase-detection points also enables the use of A-mount lenses via the optional LA-EA3 or LA-EA1 lens mount adapters with full AF compatibility.rnrnThe apt 4D FOCUS system also lends itself to a variety of focusing functions for refined accuracy, including Lock-on AF, which maintains focus on moving subjects throughout the use of a configurable frame that is set over the desired moving subject, and Expand Flexible Spot, which employs neighboring focus points to retain focus on moving subjects even if the originally selected point loses focus. Additionally, Eye AF can be used to base focus on recognized subjects' eyes for portraits and is available in both AF-S and AF-C modes. Autofocus can also be used in conjunction with the Focus Magnifier function for critical focus when homing in on minute subject details.rnrnIn addition to autofocus, the a6500 also features a Peaking MF function to benefit manual focus control by highlighted sharp edges of contrast for a more objective means of acquiring sharp focus. |
| Internal recording of UHD 4K movies is possible in multiple frame rates up to 30 fps and, based on the Super35mm recording area and effective 20MP (6000 x 3376) resolution, 2.4x oversampling renders greater detail and full pixel readout is possible, that is void of pixel binning, for higher quality imagery with reduced moiré and aliasing. Full HD 1080p recording is also supported in frame rates up to 120 fps, and both resolutions utilize the 100 Mbps XAVC S format contained within an MP4 wrapper with 4:2:0 sampling. The high-speed, 120 fps recording also enables 4x and 5x slow-motion movie recording with the frame rate set to either 30p or 24p. In addition to high-resolution internal recording, uncompressed HDMI output also enables the use of an optional external recorder for clean 4K recording with 4:2:2 sampling.rnrn4K video recording also avails the ability to produce 8MP stills during playback by taking a frame grab from a movie and storing it as a separate file. |
| Support is available for the S-Gamut3.Cine/S-Log-3 and S-Gamut3/S-Log3 profiles that enable up to a 1300% wider dynamic range for smoother tonal and color gradations, along with enhanced sensitivity and clarity in shadows and mid-tones. These profiles also lend themselves to greater compatibility within a professional workflow and are well-paired to the Cineon Log gamma curve for versatile post-production grading and color control. The S-Log3 gamma setting also offers an impressive 14-stop wide dynamic range for greater control over the highlights and shadows, while the S-Gamut3.Cine profile can be used to mimic the qualities of scanned negative film with a wide gamut comparable to the DCI-P3 color space. Additionally, the popular S-Log2 setting is also available. |
| Take more control over your video capture capabilities with a variety of new frame rates available in an S&Q mode. This will allow shooters to capture Full HD video at one of either steps between 1-120 fps. These settings will allow you to slow down action as well as speed up a slow moving scene. This setting is also NTSC/PAL switchable. |
| An enhanced Zebra function is ideally suited to working with S-Log gamma profiles and aids in monitoring exposure values in high-contrast scenes. Video signal level targets can be set from 0 to 109, and specific ranges can be set to make exposure level adjustments easier.rnrnIn contrast, a Gamma Display Assist function is also available that displays scenes with natural contrast when recording with S-Log settings. This function converts imagery to the ITU709 profile for easier on-camera monitoring. |
| A time code can be used to record hours, minutes, seconds, frames on image data for more precise editing while the User Bit function can record date, time, and scene number to aid in editing together footage from multiple cameras. |
| rnrnHighlight and Average metering modes helps avoid blown-out highlights and provide stable auto exposure, respectively.rnrnExposure standard adjustment allows you to tween exposure parameters for each metering mode independently from -1 to +1 EV in 1/6-stop increments.rnrnA Silent Shooting mode makes use of an electronic shutter function for completely silent performance that is ideal for photographing in noise-sensitive areas. When using this mode, up to 3 fps continuous shooting is available with autofocus and auto-exposure.rnrnMulti Frame NR records consecutive images at a reduced ISO sensitivity and then composites them into a single image to realize higher effective sensitivity with minimal image noise.rnrnDynamic Range Optimizer (DRO) works to improve images featuring backlit subjects or scenes with high contrast where details can be lost in the shadows or highlights. This mode can be controlled automatically or fine-tuned using five settings.rnrnAuto HDR automatically records three sequential frames of an image and composites them into a single frame to realize greater shadow and highlight detail with an extended range of mid-tones.rnrnAn advanced 1200-zone evaluative exposure metering sensor delivers consistent and accurate results using multi-segment, center-weighted, or spot metering modes.rnrnWhen working with ISO Auto settings, you can configure a minimum shutter speed setting to better ensure sharp imagery.rnrnClear Image Zoom can be used to magnify the center of scenes by 2x to effectively extend the reach of any focal length lens. This digital zoom technology uses an intelligent interpolation process to minimize the amount of image degradation in order to produce realistic, high-quality images.rnrnPicture Effect: Posterization (Color, B/W), Pop Color, Retro Photo, Partial Color (R, G, B, Y), High Contrast Monochrome, Toy Camera, Soft High-key, Soft Focus, HDR Painting, Rich-tone Monochrome, Miniature, Watercolor, and Illustration.rnrnCreative Style: Standard, Vivid, Neutral, Clear, Deep, Light, Portrait, Landscape, Sunset, Night Scene, Autumn Leaves, Black & White, and Sepia |

I see what they did by just incrementing the old version 100 to its equivalent new version. But that seems short-sighted as it won't work next round 🤦

As far as this deal goes the a6400 retail price is $100 more than the price of this a6500 so if you're on the fence you don't have to jump on this deal right now.

btw, Sony has apps for this camera (though I don't know if they work on the 6400 and 6700) but there are some here.... https://www.playmemorie

Wow a prime day camera winner in the flesh. I feel kinda honored lol
But seriously that's awesome, we need like a 6 month recap of life since then. For the people! Besides the a7iii, any other hardware you picked up?
18-135 is noticably smaller in length (about an inch).
For videos, 18-105 is the one to get.

I doubt that. Anyways I have friend in UK worst case would be mailing over for service. Yes you are right the gap is not that significant considering warranty.

See my post above about the a6400 vs the a6500.
But no don't get the 18-105 bundle. The lens is $600 all day long and that bundle is $600 more than the body only kit. Either do some research first and see what lens you really want or buy the $100 kit lens. The kit lens is not the greatest by any stretch of the imagination but it is more useful then people give it credit. It is so small and so cheap that it's still a nice lens to have in your bag. The 18-105 will get you much better image quality yes but it's quite large and even though it is a constant aperture it only stops down to f4 so it's not great at lowlight. If you plan to do primarily video with gimble this is your lens.

Not that you asked me but I picked up

RX100iii
RX100va
RX100vi
18-105 f4
I already had an a6000 and an RX100 OG. I decided to keep the a6400, 18-105, and the RX100vi, gave the RX100va to my dad. Sold the a6500. Still need to offload my old a6000, RX100, and the new RX100iii.
Overall really ecstatic. This is going to sound terrible but would love a do over. I got gun shy and didn't order everything I saw because.
1. I never in my wildest dreams thought any of it would ship.
2. I only ordered what I could possibly cover (until I returned it) if they tried to charge me full price.
3. I thought ordering more would have meant less of a chance of getting what I really wanted, the RX100iii.
But I'm kicking myself because I saw some Sony super zooms on sale for $95 as well as some amazing $4000 telescopes. But I never saw the a7iii which would have been amazing but maybe it's better I didn't because jumping to FF would have opened a whole can of worms.
