Meet Sony’s new powerful shooters

Sony has new powerful cameras for both ɑ and RX fans. The new ɑ camera is the ɑ6500, which comes with the same 4D FOCUS system of the ɑ6300. Like the ɑ6300, this new interchangeable lens camera has 425 phase detection AF points and can shoot up to 11 frames per second with continuous autofocus and exposure tracking and up to 8fps in a live-view shooting mode. This model can shoot at high speeds for up to 307 frames. The ɑ6500 also has an in-camera 5-axis optical image stabilization, touchscreen AF, and 4K movie recording capabilities.  The ɑ6500 has an APS-C-sized 24.2-megapixel Exmor CMOS sensor with a BIONZ X image processor. This camera also comes with Wi-Fi, QR, and NFC compatibility and retails for $1,750.

There’s also now a new RX camera in the form of the RX100 V. It packs in a Fast Hybrid AF system and can shoot continuously at speeds of up 24fps at full 20.1MP resolution with AF/AE tracking for up to 150 continuous shots. The RX100 V has a 1.0-type stacked Exmor RS CMOS sensor with a DRAM chip, ZEISS Vario-Sonnar T 24-70mm F1.8 – 2.8 large aperture lens. Just like the ɑ6500, the RX100 V has a new front-end LSI chip that maximizes processing speed, expands memory buffer, and optimizes image quality. The RX100 V also has 4K video recording, a high-contrast 2.35 million dot XGA OLED Tru-Finder display, and Wi-Fi and NFC compatibility. The RX100 V retails for $1,250.
