Expand your shooting range

Meet the ×6500 the APS-C interchangeable lens compact camera that puts the power to shoot professional-looking stills and movies solidly in your hands. An enhanced buffer for continuous shooting of up to 307 shots², in-camera 5-axis optical image stabilisation, touchscreen control, super-speed AF and High-density Tracking AF Technology extend the range of your shooting capabilities.

Focus at top speed

Capture every moment the worlds fastest⁴AF speed and highest number of⁵AF points respond flawlessly to virtually any shooting situation.

Worlds highest number⁵(425⁵) of phase-detection AF points

Wide phase-detection AF point coverage

With an incredible 425 focal plane phase-detection AF points densely positioned over the entire image area, this comprehensive AF point coverage ensures that no subject escapes its attention.

Extended buffer for continuous shooting

With the ×6500 extending continuous shooting capacity to 307 shots²without any drop in shooting speed (for around 36 sec. with AF/AE tracking), you wont miss a decisive moment.

Live-view continuous shooting with minimal lag

Shoot moving subjects with optical viewfinder-like immediacy

In live-view continuous shooting at up to 8fps, display lag is kept to an absolute minimum, so you can capture moving subjects as they appear on the EVF or LCD, with optical viewfinder-like immediacy.

Minimise camera shake,
even using various lenses

5-axis stabilisation⁶works with E-mount and other lenses

Gain unparalleled handheld shooting freedom using many of your favourite lenses. The short flange-back distance in the E-mount ×6500contributes to broad lens compatibility.
