Sony A6600 body (ILCE6600B.CEC)

The history of Sony's "six thousandth" series of cropped mirrorless cameras began in 2014. The ancestor of the line is still on store shelves, and the model with the name A6600 is considered the most charged camera of the family today.

Comfortable grip

The mirrorless camera has inherited the features of the appearance of previous cameras in the series, however, it has acquired a more protruding battery handle, which provides a comfortable grip for the camera in the hand. The increased internal space of the handle contributed to the adoption of a new large battery on board, on a single charge of which you can “shoot” over 800 frames.

Matrix stabilization

At the head of the camera is a 24 MP APS-C sensor mounted on a movable stabilizing platform. The matrix stub will come in handy when taking handheld photos in low light conditions and when recording videos. Video in the maximum resolution of 4K is recorded on a mirrorless camera from the entire plane of the matrix with a frequency of up to 30 fps and a bit rate of up to 100 Mbps. To control the sound, the operator is provided with a microphone input and an audio output for headphones. What's more, the Sony A6600 supports S-Log2 and S-Log3 gamma curve profiles, as well as eye focus.

Tenacious autofocus

The automatic focus system in the equipment of the model combines 425 phase-type sensors under the wing. "According to the passport" the camera clings to the filming object in 0.02 seconds. In burst mode with autofocus, the mirrorless camera develops a rate of fire of about 11 fps. This buffers 46 RAW files and 115 JPEG photos. If the camera supported UHS-II cards, these numbers could be even higher.

station wagon

The assets of the camera include four programmable buttons for quick access to settings and an inclined touch screen, tap on which the focus points are set. An alternative way to aim while shooting is the 2.36 million-dot electronic viewfinder. The Sony A6600 will find a home in the photo equipment of advanced users who are eager to acquire a universal camera for photo and video shooting.
