The little build extras we describe above combine together to give the Sony a6500 that tiny fraction of extra weight that it has over the Sony a6300. In this one major spec, the Sony a6500 offers a clear advantage over the a6300 model. This applies especially for low light shooting in which slight tremors to e-mount lens and sensor stability can spoil light absorption as the shutter opens for a larger fraction of a second. Thus, with the Sony a6500 ( review) what you definitely get is superior image sharpness under tougher shooting conditions. The Alpha a6300 doesn’t offer this (in a Sony a6000 vs a6300 comparison both would be the same on this spec). The first and most important of these by far is the Sony a6500 camera comes with 5-axis in-body image stabilization technology. When we take a look at what our Sony a6300 vs Sony a6500 comparison means for each camera’s internals, we see a couple of additional differences in build. We should also note that both have the same E mount lens mount specs. In terms of external physical build, the above is just about it for differences between the two digital mirrorless cameras. Below this combo, there’s also an extra C2 button.įinally, the exposure dial on the Sony a6500 has a somewhat different grip texture and the button that works for deleting photos looks different, though it’s in the same place as in the Sony a6300 ( review). The newer model (the Sony a6500) comes with a slightly larger shutter release button and a very slightly different power switch. If you take a close look at their external controls, you’ll notice that the Sony a6300 and Sony a6500 are also very slightly different in these two. The weight difference is small enough to barely be noticeable in the field though: One weighs 454 grams (1 lb), and the other weighs 404 grams (0.88 lbs). It also weighs just a little bit more by about 50 grams due to some of the internals that we’ll get to shortly. A couple of these distinctions are in fact, significant and do create a difference in relative performance.įor starters, while both cameras have the same essential body and same weather-proofed construction (a useful feature that Sony’s original Alpha a6000 model lacks) the a6500 Sony model is ever so slightly thicker due to a more prominent handgrip for easier handling. Looking more closely, however, there are indeed distinctions between the Sony A6300 and Sony a6500 despite an interval of only six months between their release dates. Looking at the Sony a6300 and its somewhat newer Sony a6500 cousin, you’d almost think they were the exact same camera.
