Advice to buy: Sony a6500 or a6600?
#1
Dear all,

I'm deciding for the next buy and it should be a new APS-C camera body. In the attachment you can see the current options plus the models I already own (in bold characters). The reasons for the new buy are:

  1. the focusing touch screen, which I'd appreciate for macro photography with the Tamron 20mm f/2.8;
  2. the in-sensor stabilisation, which I'd appreciate for macro photography with all the other macro lenses  I own (manual focus) all the macro lenses (all without stabiliser);
  3. the EVF on par with other models (I'm disappointed with the EVF of the a6000);
  4. the improved AF, even though at the moment I'm not finding opportunities for wildlife subjects, but I hope things will change.
These requirements narrow the selection down to the a6500 and a6600. Now the a6600 is the more recent version of the a6500, but I'm a bit pissed off by the new battery (sure it sports much better performance, but I already have a number of NP-FW50 spares and external chargers...).

BTW it looks like it's almost impossible to find a new a6500 body only, but there are some interesting offers in the second hand market.

Thoughts?
