Sony A6600

Name: A6600
Brand: Sony
Availability: InStock

The Sony A6600 is the flagship of Sony's APS-C E-mount range — the only A6000-series body with in-body image stabilisation, offering 5 stops of compensation. Combined with the outstanding real-time eye-tracking AF from the A9, a large NP-FZ100 battery, and a headphone jack, it remains the most capable APS-C Sony for hybrid shooters who need IBIS.

GearFrame's Take

The APS-C Sony that has everything — IBIS, real-time Eye AF, excellent battery life, and 4K/30p in a weather-sealed body.

🏙️

Street Compact and discreet with excellent AF — a capable street photography body.

🦅
