Sony - 'a6600 Mirrorless Camera'
w/ 18-135mm F3.5-5.6 OSS Lens
A full-fledged toolkit for your imaginationThe α6600 packs in features to deliver what you need for any situation you encounter. Adding a new dimension to APS-C camera performance with a revised 24.2MP sensor, phenomenal AF capabilities, rock-solid 5-axis optical image stabilisation and high-resolution 4K HDR (HLG) movie recording. It’s a camera you can rely on to truly capture your vision.
Ultra-Fast AF and Continuous Shooting
Reliable and persistent AFWide AF area, super-fast AF speed and steady subject tracking
Densely distributed focus points cover around 84% of the image area, and the Fast Hybrid AF system combines the best of phase-detection AF and contrast-detection AF to achieve a world-leading 0.02-sec.3 acquisition speed. When subjects are in motion, AF points densely positioned around the subject are activated for accurate tracking.
Fast continuous shooting with AF/AE at up to 11fpsShoot at up to 11fps4 with minimal display lag, and 8fps4 with live view, in bursts of up to 1165 shots in JPEG (Standard) at one time. With your settings clearly previewed in the electronic viewfinder, and the virtually real-time display, it will elevate your action shooting to a whole new level.
Silent continuous shooting won't disturb the peaceWhen the situation calls for absolute quiet, silent shooting with no shutter noise is possible at up to 8fps6, even in AF-C mode. Used with Real-time Eye AF or with Real-time Tracking it dramatically expands your range of shooting options.
Real-Time Tracking and Real-Time Eye AF
Intiate tracking in an instantInitiate Real-time Tracking by half-pressing the shutter, or simply select the subject by touch, to start tracking. You can also assign "Tracking On" to a custom key, and press it to start tracking.
AI-based subject trackingThe camera's tracking systems rely on unique AI-based subject recognition algorithms7. These process spatial information consisting of colour, pattern (brightness), and distance (depth) data, as well as tracking the subject's eye and face, all in real time at high speeds.

Real-time Eye AF for humanEven when your portrait subject is on the move, Real-time Eye AF provides continuous, stable eye detection and tracking to keep your scene in focus. It also works when the subject's face is partially hidden, backlit, or facing downwards.
Real-time Eye AF for animalThe same eye-detection algorithms that make great portraits of people have been adapted to animals as well8, to help you get beautiful pet portraits and wildlife shots.
Right/left eye AF selection by touch9Not only can you prioritise the subject's left or right eye in settings, you can even do it with a simple touch to the camera's monitor screen.
Smooth focus transitionDepending on the condition of the subject you're tracking, the focus area will automatically and seamlessly switch between the subject's face and eyes.
Real-time Tracking activation with Touch TrackingWith the Touch Tracking function you can simply touch the monitor to initiate Real-time Tracking for either stills or movies.
5-axis Optical Image Stabilisation
pitch and yaw controlCompensate for angular shake, also known as pitch and yaw shake, especially evident when shooting at longer focal lengths.
Horizontal and vertical axesCompensate for camera shake in the horizontal and vertical directions, most apparent at high magnifications such as macro shooting.
Roll compensationCompensate for roll, or rotational shake, most obvious in hand-held, long-duration movie shooting.
How optical image stabilisation worksThe 5-axis in-body optical image stabilisation mechanism used on our acclaimed full-frame cameras has been adapted as the stabilisation unit for the APS-C sensor on the α6600. Relying on a highly accurate gyro sensor, it detects and compensates for camera shake along five different axes, including angular (pitch and yaw), horizontal, vertical and rotational, for stabilisation equivalent to a 5-step10 faster shutter setting.
Magnificient Images
High image quality by designExmor™ APS-C CMOS sensor and latest-generation BIONZ X™ image processor
The 24.2-megapixel11 APS-C image sensor is optimised for highly efficient light collection, a wide sensitivity range and low-noise performance even at high ISO settings. In conjunction with the latest-generation BIONZ X image processing engine, it delivers superb image clarity and outstanding textural reproduction.
Low-noise performance for high ISO sensitivityAcross a wide sensitivity range of ISO 100-32000 (expanded to ISO 50-102400), the α6600 delivers excellent low-noise performance for high-quality images even in dimly lit settings.
Improved Colour reproductionAlgorithms inherited from our highly regarded full-frame cameras are responsible for the α6600's faithful colour reproduction. Depiction of human skin tones has been significantly improved, as have the vibrant colours of flowers. Jaggies and false colours are also suppressed.
High-Resolution 4K HDR Video
Versatile movie-making capabilitiesFull-pixel readout with no pixel binning enables high-resolution 4K movie recording2, while a new HLG (Hybrid Log-Gamma) picture profile supports instant HDR delivery. Sophisticated image stabilisation completes the picture.
keep the focus on your subjectWorking together, the camera's Fast Hybrid AF system, Real-time Tracking and Real-time Eye AF maintain steady and dependable focus on your subject, so you can enjoy the more creative aspects of movie-making.
Interval Shooting to create time-lapse moviesThe camera's capabilities include built-in Interval Shooting12, for time-lapse videos with a selectable shot interval of 1-60 seconds. Resulting images can be combined in high resolution on a PC, and viewed with a simple variable-speed preview function on the camera.
S-Log shooting supportThe S-Log3 and S-Log2 Gamma curves feature wide dynamic range (up to 1300% of Rec.709) to minimise whiteout and blackout and allow a wider scope for colour grading in post-production13.
Slow & Quick Motion recordingSlow & Quick Motion recording Slow & Quick Motion recording You can record movies in slow motion (up to 5x) and quick motion (up to 60x) directly in the camera, or use 120fps Full HD video to create high-quality slow-motion footage in post-production14.
Extend your reach with external touch operationsConvenient touch operations such as Touch Focus and Touch Tracking, that are available on the α6600's monitor15, can still be accessed even when external monitors are connected to the camera.
Tell your stories in your own way The α6600 is designed for powerful film-making, so pros and enthusiasts alike can share their stories with the world. The 180°-tiltable display makes self-framing easy for vlogging or challenging shooting angles. Professional audio is also covered with an external mic jack and headphone jack for monitoring. And the improved grip ensures rock-solid, and comfortable, shooting for hours at a time.
Powerful, Reliable, Versatile
High-capacity Z battery supports long-duration shootingTo support longer shooting sessions, the α6600 comes equipped with the same high-capacity battery introduced with many of our full-frame cameras16, while maintaining the camera's slim form.
