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 pro

Sony makes a wide variety of mirrorless cameras for the masses. Their most popular cameras currently are the A6000 series and A7 Series . Sony also makes Cybershot point and shoot cameras as well as some high quality RX series cameras. In the Sony Alpha A6000 series, there are currently 4 cameras available in the market - A6000, A6300, A6400 and A6500 .
