New a6500 features a 5-axis optical image stabilization, making it the first Sony APS-C sensor camera to offer all of the benefits of advanced in-body stabilization, which include a shutter speed advantage of approximately 5 steps. It is compatible with E-mount lens and several A-mount lenses as well. The feature previously available only on high-end cameras such as A7 II or A7r II.

Sony A6500 features a 24.2MP APS-C Exmor CMOS sensor that works together with a BIONZ X image processor and achieve an impressive sensitivity range of ISO 100-512009. The buffer has been significantly increased, allowing the camera to shoot at 11 frames per second for around 300 JPEGs or 100 Raw+JPEG frames. Along with 425 phase detection AF points that are densely positioned over nearly the entire image area. On the video recording, A6500 now offers 4K video recording.

F1.8-2.8 lens, but there is a huge upgrade on the mechanism when it comes with a Fast Hybrid AF system that combines the respective advantages of focal-plane phase detection AF and contrast detection AF and ultimately enables the camera to lock focus in as little as 0.05 seconds, integrated BIONZ X image processor and also equipped with a new front-end LSI chip that maximizes processing speed, expands the memory buffer and optimizes image quality, in particular at high ISO settings. Sony RX100 V

Sony RX100 Mark V can shoot 4K UHD from a 5028 x 2828 pixel resolution, means it oversamples by 1.3x in each dimension (1.7x overall), to give highly detailed 4K footage. With fast processing capabilities of the sensors combined with the LSI, means less rolling shutter in 4K video and electronic stills, inching these cameras ever closer to the global shutter ideal.

The camera also features a super slow motion recording at up to 960fps with extended recording time and more. It can record super-slow motion video at up to 40x slower than the standard rate, and can do this for about twice as long as the RX100 IV model.
