Product Reviews

The video and photo quality is great and autofocusing is so excellent. Like it sticks on it. I'm very happy with this

Best in mirror less if the budget is under 70k . Build quality is good . Only little concern is the provided camera bag

I am happy with nothing other than Sony the beast.

Best quality product. Very nice design. Very good build quality and deep grip. Picture quality very nice and battery backup very good. Easy to use

For the price the battery , grip , lens options , 5 axis ibis , weather sealing all make it perfect intermediate to Pro camera

I bought this product 6 month ago, I am happy with my purchase. Having great features with quality pictures and videos

Liked the account of lenses available. The kit lens i bought was the 18-105 mm lens, which is good.

This camera has good features. Its price is also good. The large battery is like a full frame camera and the 5-axis stabilization and weather sealed magnesium alloy body make the camera is premium quality camera.

The Sony Alpha a6600 has been on the scene since 2019, but wildlife photographers are still turning to this compact APS-C mirrorless camera even in 2025. So, is it still a solid choice for capturing elusive creatures in the wild? Here’s a deep dive into its real-world wildlife performance

I bought this for backpacking Photography. Because of size

Bough recently for my upcoming trip to Norway and I have it coupled with a Sony A6700

I've only had the camera less than a week and am really impressed. I've coupled it with a Sony 24-240 lens for my upcoming trip to the Norwegian Fjords.

Happy I bought this camera to replace my worn out NEX 6. Familiar menu structure from my Sony A77. Great additional functions and stunning autofocus performance so far.

The quality of the camera is great. Complete value for money. The ease of registering product for warranty was another hit! Being a beginner I can use this camera as I grow as photographer!

I BOUGHT THIS 4 MONTH AGO.. IT TOOK ME ONLY 3 DAYS TO ADAPT WITH THIS.. SO GOOD AND SMOOTH AS A ENTRY LEVEL CAMERA, @SONY IF POSSIBLE SEND ME A HOODIE OR JACKET WITH ALPHA BRANDING! ❤️

Good camera with best build quality . Only one feature is missing that is 4k 60fps.

I am pleased to buy this camera and very much satisfied with its results, Very handy camera as I can carry this compact unit anywhere with ease...

Great features with 4k 30 fps recording better focus

I bought this almost 6 months ago and it is really amazing, starting from battery backup to processing images right on the camera it is awesome. I just have a complaint about it's touchscreen capabilities, it should be much more flexible. Liked the quality of images.

I recently bought this on August 2024, at a very discounted price in india, its a very good beginner friendly camera

This is my first “serious” camera and for an amateur photographer it’s perfectly matches me current skill set. The best part I think is how light and portable it is. Also, I can get pretty pro-grade pictures after tweaking in-camera settings. One point though that I have struggled with is the focus settings which may be entirely due to me not fully grasping but the focus point jumps and down and has a very small focus area which can render an entire image not sharp as it has focused on a tiny part of the whole picture.

A month now using Sony A6600. Amazing camera, sharp images and excellent photography.

excellent and i can also use power bank to or plug to power it

Having previously owned an ILCE-(A)6300 for a few years I was reasonably familiar with the somewhat awkward menu system that has had a bit of a refresh on the A6600 but overall there isn't much of an improvement and the camera itself other than its main/key features which are the faster and more accurate auto focus, larger battery that seems to go on and on (....and on and on!) for ages compared to the smaller battery in the A6300. Also, because the battery is physically bigger, so is the grip which is much more comfortable in the hand. This newer camera also has the in body stabilisation which helps with both stills and video ....but is far from perfect and could be better! The auto focus can now be switched between human and animal eye focus which is good for animal photography which I rarely do but the option is now there for those that do. If there is a downside to this camera it would be the price compared to other makes with a similar spec but as I'm already invested in the system with a few Sony lenses plus a lot of third party alternatives, this camera is good for me plus it is a lot cheaper than a full frame Sony camera with lenses with similar specs.

Having only been using this camera for a couple of weeks now it’s heavier over my old a6000 which was a great little camera, this one is good but not great, the menu is still old and clunky, and so many options inside other options it’s been a challenge to understand this camera and still is a challenge to navigate the menus, overall the picture quality is good, haven’t managed to try the video out yet.

Bought the a6600 recently; my first Sony & first Mirrorless. Fantastic little camera & exactly what I needed. Battery life is good so far. Although I haven’t used it too much so far the one gripe I do have is the Sony menu system seems quite complicated to navigate and use

Had for around a month now, still enjoying getting my head around all the features this camera has to offer.

I am in the trial phase but I am absolutely satisfie with it!

I’ve used Sony since 2001, this is my fifth Sony camera and I’ve just upgraded from an A77 that I’ve owned nine years. Wow the advancement is amazing, I’ve only took a few sample shots to test it out but so far I am blown away with it’s capabilities

I bought this a few weeks ago so am still learning all the menus etc but already really impressed. Great manual functionality but also a very capable auto function which makes it a highly capable camera both as point and shoot as well as more professional photo/video.

The camera produces very good results and is extremely light and small. However th esmall size does mean that the range of controls is more limited than on a full size DSLR and those controls are set closer together. The sensor is extremely good and noise levels are contained up to relatively high ISO's. A major issue is the poor algorithm that is used to select a combination of aperure and shutter speed in the P setting. That renders the P setting almost unusable and I have found that best results are obtained by using the Manual mode, setting the aperure and shiutter speed appropriate to the occasion and using Auto ISO to adjust the resulting image. Unfortunately this leads to two additional defects in the firmware. As on many DSLR's aperture is adjusted using the control on top of the camera and shutter speed by a rotary dial on the camera back. While the top control is very positive and easy to use once its position is learned the same canot be said for teh rotary control on the back of the camera. That control not only rotates but can also be depressed in 4 directions and it is far too easy to depress it while adjusting the shutter speed and to accidentally move, for example, from auto ISO to a fixed ISO value. To undo this accidental change can be time consuming. Such accidental errors could be so easily avoided if the firmware required any of the four "corners" of the dial to be held for, say half a second, before the rotary dial assumed its other function. The second firware defect is that, when the exposure settings are being changed in manual mode with Auto ISO the displayed ISO selected by the camera is replaced by "AUTO" instaed of changing as, say, the Shutter speed is changed. The new ISO only appears when the shutter is half pressed. Thi sis in stark contrast to my Canon 7D Mk2 where the apropriate ISO remains live and changes in response to user changes in Aperture or Shutter speed. Both these defects lead to loss of time in selecting appropriate settings which can be the difference between taking and missing a good photograph. Because of that I have reduced my rating to only 3 stars.

Excellent camera and light easy to use, with great results

Bought the 6600 to replace an old 6000. As a professional who carried heavy camera bags for decades, I needed something small but high quality for a trip to Italy. The images are so very crisp! The big surprise for me was the low light performance. Shooting in a church in Florence at ISO 3200 gave me beautiful images with almost no noise and were wonderfully sharp when viewed at 100%. I use the Zeiss 16 - 70 f4 lens.

A week ago, I bought the a6600 in the shop with the stunning 16-35 mm lens.

Upgraded to this from a dslr its a fantastic little camera very easy to get to grips with great lens 18.135 I also got the adapter for my a mount lenses I'm very happy with my gear

Ideal size when used with Tamron 17-70 2.8 or similar, feature packed, great results, perfect. Only small downside is the thin narrow flap/cover access to charge point in side, doesn't feel substantial.

Great pics/ compact very easy to use comfortable in yor hand great grip and battery life

Bought to replace Sony A590 which is out of date and old technology

Waited a while to get this camera for price wise, was surprised when the box turned up with how small it was and once out of the box how small the camera is in the hands. Holding it tho is really nice, fits in my hands perfectly and having the larger battery it lasts a long time shooting too. the image quality out of this camera is brilliant and the auto focus is so fast and eye AF is amazing on people and animals. Really well made, the menu system is a little confusing to someone who doesn't know anything about photography coming to this camera for a starter camera but once you get using it, you pick it up pretty quick.

Now upgrading from a6000 to A6600 as have learned the benefits of mirrorless cameras for the photos of a lifetime.Superb upgrade longer battery life more images means less hassle on holiday adventures, camera stabilisation means better photos.The camera is even better to hold as the battery compartment is slightly larger.I like the flexibility of the e mount lenses ,the zoom choice means fewer lenses to carry especially when having to travel light.Ideal novice/enthusiast camera for safaris,birding and photography in general.

Used the a6600 for 6 days and the main port stopped working for remote switch. So the camers is useless to me now and I'm now having to pay the bill to get it fixed. To fix the port the motherboard needs replacing after 6 days. Sent off to fixation in London. Could possibly be the last sony camera I buy. VERY UNHAPPY :(

Very happy with the image quality from such a small camera. It is better than my previous DSLR. I do find it quite complex to use and am sure that there are features that I have not yet come across.

Great for 4K Video, Auto Focus is fantastic especially useful in video mode. Great ergonomics and easy to use.

very clear images and quiet engine that works quickly and safely when zooming

I bought the camera 6 months ago with the view to extending my agricultural landscape photograph ability. In addition, I added a Sony 24-70mm GM lens. I'm so far happy with both items. For me, the grip makes it easy for me to carry over the longer distances I walk.

Love this camera, very effective for videos and photos

The Sony A6600 is my first camera, a bold move I know as I could have purchased a cheaper camera. The continuous great reviews across platforms, the weight, build quality and AF are some of the many reasons I bought this model. There are a couple of designs I wish were different. The screen had multi tilt to the side. The flash was available as per previous models. As this is a new model, the megapixels could have been increased inline with other competitors such as Fuji. These certainly didn't stop my purchase, but would go along way to making the product more favourable. That being said, after all my extensive research across both DSLR and Mirrorless cameras, I still purchased the A6600 and certainly don't regret it. My only other comment is that I wish ther were more packages with different lenses available. I wanted this camera for wildlife photography and if there were other packages available with a telephoto lens, that would have been my pick.

Its proving to be a handy and versatile camera. I will be taking this everywhere!

This is the 9th E Mount APS-C Sony camera that I have used and it is, without doubt, the best of them. Is it perfect? No, it has some niggling flaws but none of them detract fully from the camera. Chief amongst these is the lack of a joystick which would be a really useful addition to the camera. Whilst the current methods for fixing the focal point work well (once you get used to them) a joystick is becoming the norm on cameras at this price point. Secondly, effective in camera processing is also something that one expects for a camera at this level. Thirdly, for those of us who shoot in B&W it would be nice to have other monochrome options (such as those offered by Fuji, Panasonic, Olympus). On the positive side, the focusing on this camera is class leading. The new 2.8 G master lens makes the most of that focussing capability. Add to this the image stabilisation and the weather sealing and it is clear that this line of E mount cameras has come of age and it is the first one that I would certainly recommend - I liked it enough to order a second body and so I am not certain that I can give it a stronger endorsement (despite the niggles)

Great camera producing great images and video. However for someone who is clogging the flip out screen feels clunky and half baked. It doesn’t quite fully extend over the camera and would be better placed coming out of the side.

I bought it a month ago. I am a vlogger and this is the perfect setup for me. Flip screen and 4k capabilities. I use slow motion a lot using gimble. I had a7iii before i sold it and got a6600.

For the size of the sensor, the image quality is very good. The camera build is also very good. The features are as good as a top end camera. The handling isn’t bad, but takes a little time to get use to. The view find good, as is the image information. Cons The program menu is bit bit long winded and I’m still find it slow to change setting, although this will get better as I get use to the menu. They camera isn’t rain poof. Overall a good camera for it price Am I going to replace replace my Nikon D750 and D850 for the Sony’s cameras. I’m really not sure as it’s a lot of money to replace all the lenses on top of the camera. I purchased this camera as a try out the menu which I’m still a bit unsure about.

upgraded from a6000 which was good but this model is superb

Bought 2 weeks ago and works flawless with Sony Alpha SAM/SSM lenses with an LA-EA3 adapter. Even focus and eye tracking appears to work. Only thing having moved from an A77II to this, just wished Sony would had put an APSC sensor in an A7/9 body.

I bought this about two weeks ago to use for work and pleasure. In my day job visiting buildings I can take 200+ photographs and have used a compact camera in the past. This time I wanted a camera that would still allow me to do that with ease but also take good quality images when used for pleasure, this allows me to do that and its not too big.

This camera was purchased to do video with - it is great - however I've been knocked sideways by the quality of the stills and I LOVE the EVF

I’m very satisfied with the A6600, it’s the perfect companion for street & travel photography. The autofocus is best in class, so is the battery. The image quality is very high-end. It’s easy to use even for beginners. I wish that the body has two SD slots, or at least one but UHS-II and USB-C charging instead of micro-USB.

Having owned an NEX7 for 7 years, the A6600 is a real pleasure - the NEX7 has really matured, build quality is superb, simplified & modernised. 1st impressions are excellent,

THE GOOD 1. 4K is CRISP! 2. 1080p is also amazing. Sharp, no moire up to 60fps. Super35 even at 60fps. 3. AF is excellent and works really well in most situations 4. Battery life is really great, especially when compared to the a6400. It’s as good as a high end DSLR if not better. 5. Offers tools such as peaking, zebras, Log profiles etc. 6. 11fps with continuous AF is really amazing. 7. The custom modes 1 and 2 are extremely useful. There are a total of 4 other custom setting presets for the custom modes 1 and 2, termed M1, M2, M3 and M4, but you will lose them every time you change or format the card as the settings are stored in the card and not in the camera’s internal memory, unlike the modes 1 and 2. THE BAD 1. At 120fps moire is pretty bad. The image becomes quite soft. I wouldn’t use it for client work unless there’s no other option left. 2. AF struggles in various back-lit situations. 3. Lenses are expensive comparatively. 4. Rolling shutter in 4k is abominable. Everything becomes jello-ey and weird with even the slightest movement. In 1080p it’s much better. 5. No 100mbps for 1080 60p. 6. No 10 bit internal or output. 7. No 4:2:2 internal. Though HDMI does output 4k 4:2:2. I don’t have an external recorder so I can’t say much about it, but as a general rule of thumb, 4:2:2 is better than 4:2:0, especially if you plan on using the camera for keying. 8. Animal eye-AF doesn't work in video mode. 9. SD card in battery compartment 10. Video File naming restarts every time you format the card or insert a new card. REALLY ANNOYING. 11. Dual dedicated shutter and aperture dials are great but how sony did that isn't much better than a single dial as you can't use both dials at the same times unless you have two thumbs. MISCELLANEOUS 1. Eye detect AF works really well but there are some weird quirks of that system. The eye detection only engages within the AF area even though it detects the human eye. So my ideal setting for human eyes is to set the AF area to Flexible Spot Small with tracking, AF in continuous of course. So when I want the camera to track the eye and keep the focus there, all I have to do is engage the AF by half pressing the shutter button while keeping the eye near the center AF box so that the Eye AF engages and keeps tracking. This for me is better than setting the AF area to wide or any other mode as it helps avoid the inevitable inaccuracies of the camera and if the eyes aren’t detected I can just use the center AF area and reframe and the camera would still track the area I want in focus. 1.1. A behavior I've noticed with this setting is that it would choose to focus on the eye even though it’s not near the AF area if the camera can’t focus and/or track the thing that’s inside the set AF area but it does detect eyes in the frame somewhere. 1.2. However with Animal Eye detect autofocus, flexible spot AF with tracking does not work, so you're stuck with wide, as the eyes won't be tracked outside the AF area. But then again animal eye detection has been hit and miss for me. 1.3. In video mode to film people wide AF area is the way to go as with Small Spot AF Area the face outside the box won’t be tracked.
