DPRTV: Sony a6600 First Impressions – Just an Evolution and Not a Revolution
DPRTV did a first impressions video for the a6600 and it brings up many of the Sony a6600’s shortcomings. The a6600 is an impressive value, but Sony could have done a lot better.
Pro
- The new grip to fit the Z Battery feels great
- Z Batteries
- 11 fps
- Real-Time Tracking AF
- The camera is weather-sealed and so are the new lenses
- Full flip screen
Con
- The larger grip should have a front dial
- Would be great to have an AF joystick on the back
- One card slot
- Not UHS-II so the buffer is slow to empty
- The EVF is only decent and X-T3 far surpasses it
- No on-camera flash
- Old sensor make electronic shutter unusable and video isn’t great
- Should have the 26MP sensor that the X-T3 uses
- Weather sealing could be better
- Panorama mode missing for no good reason
- Realtime AF in video only works by touching the LCD
- Very much like an a6500, but with Z battery and Real-time AF
IBIS and Real-Time AF are the only two features that the a6600 has above the Fujifilm X-T3.
