Sony recently launched A6600 and A6100 mirrorless cameras. Sony Alpha A6600 is their current flagship APS-C camera while the A6100 is aimed at first time mirrorless camera owners.
A lot of Sony fans were quite unimpressed by the specs of the A6600. Many professionals who often use A6000 series of camera were also disappointed by the specs as they were expecting something else.

- No 4K @ 60fps - a lot of new flagship APS-C and Full Frame cameras launching in 2019 are now giving an option to record 60fps 4K. It's very surprising to see Sony, who used to offer 4K when a lot of others were stuck on 1080P, choosing not to bring 4K @ 60fps to A6600.
- Same old sensor - A6600 comes with the same sensor as the old A6500. This sensor on board is not exceptional and have rolling shutter issues as well. You expect Sony - the leading camera sensor manufacturer in the world - to bring out something new in their flagship camera. Disappointing.
These two factors are the reason why many professionals are thinking to skip the new gen variant and wait for the next gen with a better sensor and features.
Don't get me wrong. A6600 is still a great camera. It has build in image stabilization, great battery life, eye AF and fast tracking features etc. It is just that Sony could have - and have the ability and resources - to launch a mirrorless camera with better specs.
