Sony a6500 ILCE6500M/B Black 2016
Its 24.2MP APS-C sensor pairs with 425 phase-detection AF points, acquiring focus in 0.05 seconds, and the 5-axis IBIS delivers 5 stops of stabilization inside a weather-sealed body. The included 18-135mm lens adds flexibility, and the in-body stabilization steadies any mounted lens, a practical edge for handheld shooting. This camera is best for sports and wildlife photographers who need 11fps continuous bursts with AE/AF tracking in a durable, compact build.
