Sony Alpha a6500 Mirrorless Digital Camera with 18-135mm Lens (Sony PH)

Sony Alpha a6500 Mirrorless Digital Camera with 18-135mm Lens

The Sony Alpha a6500 features a newly developed 24.2MP Exmor® CMOS sensor with the world’s fastest AF speed¹ (0.05 sec.) and highest number of phase detection AF points² (425). The a6500 boasts in-camera, 5-axis optical image stabilization for every lens and enhanced AF features, including intuitive and immediate touchscreen AF operation. The a 6500 also offers 4K movie recording³ and pro video features, including 2.4x oversampling⁴ with full pixel readout and no pixel binning, S-Log3/S-Log2, S-Gamut and gamma assist, and more.

4D FOCUS™ w/ world’s fastest autofocus¹ with world’s most² AF points
The α6500’s unrivaled 4D FOCUS™ system boasts the world’s fastest autofocus (AF) acquisition time¹that can lock focus on a subject in as little as 0.05 seconds. It also has the world’s highest number of focal plane phase detection AF points² – an incredible 425 – that are densely positioned over 84% of the image area. Moreover, the α6500 can capture full resolution 24.2MP images at up to 11 frames per second with continuous autofocus and exposure tracking. The α6500 takes full advantage of its enhanced fast hybrid AF for movies in both HD and 4K³.

First 5-axis in-body image stabilization in an E-mount camera
For the first time, the 5-axis SteadyShot™ INSIDE image stabilization system is used in an APS-C E-mount camera while maintaining a compact lightweight body.  It accurately compensates for blur caused by camera shake – for up to 5-stops¹² – from five different directions: vertical, horizontal, pitch, yaw and roll. This means that any lens attached to the α6500 will benefit from images stabilization, whether the lens has its own image stabilization or not. The 5-axis image stabilizing system excels during video recording and even compensates for blur caused by the photographer walking or running. You can even monitor the stabilizing effects of camera shake compensation in the viewfinder or LCD screen while shooting by pressing the shutter button halfway or magnifying the image, and while shooting movies by entering movie mode.

A host of pro video features for 4K³ and Full HD
The α6500 has the ability to record 4K video internally with full pixel readout and no pixel binning through usage of the professional and efficient XAVC S format³.  The camera is capable of recording high quality footage at 100Mbps for 4K and up to 100Mbps at 120 fps for Full HD. It also offers a new ‘Slow and Quick’ mode (S&Q) that supports both slow motion and quick motion from 1 fps to 120 fps in 8 steps⁷ A host of other features for professional movie production workflow are also included, such as zebra for easier exposure adjustment, peaking for easy manual focusing, time code and clean 4:2:2 HDMI output as well as picture profiles, S-Log3/S-Log2, S-Gamut and gamma assist for real time S-Log monitoring.

E 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 OSS Lens

Included with the camera is the E 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 OSS lens, which offers a wide-angle to telephoto 27-202.5mm equivalent focal length range. Benefitting the reach of the lens is an Optical SteadyShot image stabilization system, which minimizes the appearance of camera shake for sharper handheld shooting. Also helping to produce sharper imagery is a linear autofocus motor, which delivers quick and accurate focusing performance that is also quiet to suit video recording applications. Balancing with the handling attributes, this lens also sports an intelligent optical design that uses both extra-low dispersion glass and aspherical elements to control spherical and chromatic aberrations for high sharpness and clarity throughout the zoom range.
