Me: So what's new?
Sony: We have a flip-out screen.
Me: Didn't you have that on A6400?
Sony: We have Ibis.
Me: You mean the one from A6500 (the one that barely does anything)?
Sony: We have a bigger battery.
Me: You want to tell me you could put a bigger battery anytime you wanted, and still you let me learn 8 battery juggle.
Sony: We removed pop up flash.
Me: What flash?
Sony: And all that for just 1400$
Me: So generally 500$ more for a bigger battery?
Sony: And that`s not all, look at this beautiful 16-55 f2.8 same price as the camera :)
Me: You do actually know I can buy 2 full-frame primes and a full-frame zoom for less money?
Sony: But it`s all brand new!
Me: So was I but back in 1975.

This addresses every issue I have with my a6500. The flip up screen, bigger battery, headphone jack and improved colors will be much appreciated.

If Sony loved vloggers they would have released a 12mm 2.8 APSC lens a long time ago.

Only just bought an a6400. Don't regret it after seeing the price point for the a6600, rather just buy a gimbal like the Ronin-SC and stick with my extra batteries.

Meanwhile I'm sitting here with my sony a6500 and think to myself "Nah, I'm good fam"

Can't wait to see the camera comparisons between the 90D and the a6600.

[Nickknows]

Damn... first a pepsi and now a batgirl?! FIRE

Nobody:
Absolutley everyone: Give us 4k 60
Sony: Okay here are two more a6xxx with flip LCD, but it blocks the hotshoe again.

For newbuyers A6600 makes sense. I suspect no one will do upgrade to A6600 from A6500 or even from A6400. Sony lost a lot of revenue here, by not including 4K 60fps and 10 bit and not upgrading sensor to 32/36 mpix. 100mpbs/s bitrate is kind of old for 2019.

Considering how long people have waited for the so-called 6700 or 7000, this is very, very disappointing.

This is pretty impressive. This one and the a7mkiv are cameras I would finally consider using. Most of the bugs are worked out and they are finally thinking more about ergonomics.

[Zeroplanetz]

These camera iterations is like Intel before AMD Ryzen stuff. I thought the A6600 has been out for a loooonnnnggg time now.

[JANKOLLPLAYZFX]

I will buy an upgrade from my a6300 when they finally fix that rolling shutter. Battery life is a really big improvement.

[benjprilles]

Nice to see a whole positive preview of this camera.

I guess sony decide they want to become the new Cannon. Not just become the leader of the camera market but also get everyone‘s hate.

i always end up watching your videos when deciding on cameras. Outstanding quality!

[TokranInami]

Wait, does that mean that up to now Sony shooters could not shoot RAW+JPEG in full quality or change their aspect ratio?
And that this is the best and most complete APS-C camera is as statement that pretty much every Fuji user will challenge any time.

I’m a Nikon guy using before a used Sony a6300 APS-C camera with only a pancake lens. It’s my preferred go-getter camera I bring as test and preview of my construction projects. I like it’s sturdy sleek and minimalist body design I can pack on any bag - not bulky like my Nikons I secure in camera bags. For me, the longer lasting battery of the a6600 was a huge plus factor to get one and give away my a6300 body along with its battery grip - retaining only the pancake lens. I’m not so concerned with the imaging features considering I have my Nikons.
