While I've only had the chance to test the camera for a little over 24 hours, that's enough time to get an idea of what this thing can do. Thankfully, Sony wasn't kidding when it said its A6500 was all about speed. I used the camera mostly with the Vario-Tessar T* E 16-70mm f/4 and FE 70-200mm f/2.8 lenses, which made it easy to take shots in the dark and at sports games. It's one of the few times I've been able to capture decent shots at a sporting event. Indeed, Sony says its goal is to appeal to sports photographers, and even some people who aren't professionals.

I'll have more thoughts on the A6500 in the coming weeks. For now, take a look at the sample images below to get an idea of what to expect from it.
