Sony<\/a> continues to churn out quality mirrorless cameras with the latest installment of their flagship APS-C camera<\/strong>. The a6500<\/strong>, an update to the acclaimed\u00a0a6300<\/a>\u00a0released last February, is designed to be more accessible, more versatile, and faster<\/strong>.

5-Axis\u00a0Stabilization for Steadier Shots<\/h3>\n

\"Sony<\/p>\n

With the new 5-axis stabilization<\/strong>, the a6500<\/strong> can compensate for five types of camera shake<\/strong>, which extends opportunities to shoot steadier for photography and video<\/strong>. The new gyro sensor<\/strong> also allows for better stabilization that can add 5-steps-faster shutter speed<\/strong>. The stabilization transfers over into zooms to minimize\u00a0camera shake and blur<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Touchscreen for Better AF Positioning<\/h3>\n

While the touchscreen<\/strong> will make things more intuitive and accessible<\/strong>\u00a0for those new to the camera, the real advantages of the technology are in the autofocus (AF)<\/strong>. The a6500<\/strong> also offers lock-on AF and eye-focused AF options<\/strong>, making the touchscreen’s ability to track and pick your focus<\/strong>\u00a0a huge upgrade.\u00a0You can even use the touchscreen while looking through the viewfinder to shift the point of focus<\/strong>\u00a0smoothly.<\/p>\n

4k Video and Ridiculous ISO<\/h3>\n

\"Sony<\/p>\n

None of this is new for the update, but the a6500<\/strong> still offers top-of-the-line specs<\/strong> for its video capture and huge ISO range.
