Design
The type of camera.
The type of viewfinder that the camera has.
The device is protected with extra seals to prevent failures caused by dust, raindrops, and water splashes.
A higher screen resolution provides a sharper image, making it easier to review your photos.
EVF resolution
Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value. (Sony a6600)
Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value. (Sony A7 II)
An electronic viewfinder (EVF) with a higher resolution provides a sharper image, producing a view comparable in quality with the one displayed on an optical viewfinder.
The focus motor moves the lens in order to autofocus. For system cameras, having a focus motor in the camera's body allows you to use a wide range of lenses, including lenses which do not have their own focus motor. For compact cameras, a focus motor is usually built-in.
Flip-out screens can be useful for tricky shots.
With 100% coverage, you can compose the image correctly when you capture the photo. With less than full coverage, you may have to crop your photos afterward to get them looking perfect.
The size of the screen (measured diagonally).
Optics
One of the most important aspects of a camera is the size of its sensor. A larger sensor will capture more light, which results in improved low-light performance, dynamic range, and general image quality.
The more focus points the more flexibility in picking which part of the scene to focus on. They also give the image sensor a better probability in identifying the right area of the scene to focus on in more automatic modes.
The number of megapixels determines the resolution of the images captured with the main camera. A higher megapixel count means that the camera is capable of capturing more details. However, the megapixel count is not the only important element determining the quality of an image.
With a higher light sensitivity (ISO level), the sensor absorbs more light. This can be used to capture moving objects using a fast shutter speed, or to take images in low light without using a flash.
Expanded ISO allows you to go beyond the native ISO. It does this by digitally enhancing the image output. The resulting image will have less quality than when staying within the native ISO range, but it can be useful in certain situations.
With sensor shift, the image sensor (rather than the lens) moves to counterbalance any vibration of the camera. This means the image will be stabilised regardless of what lens is being used.
The number of frames per second that can be captured in continuous drive mode when using the mechanical shutter.
With AF tracking, once you choose the subject and press the shutter release part way down, as the subject moves, the autofocus will follow it. No more out of focus shots.
Videography
The maximum resolution available for videos shot with the main camera. Although it may be possible to choose among other frame rates, those recordings usually have lower resolutions.
A phase-detection autofocus system is faster than a contrast detection autofocus system. Even when recording scenes with a lot of fast movements, the videos are sharp and clear.
When recording movies they stay focussed and sharp.
A microphone port allows connecting external high-end or specialized microphones.
With a standard mini jack socket, you can use the device with most headphones.
A stereo microphone allows to record audio files or movies in stereo without an external microphone.
A timelapse shows a long passage of time sped up. A series of photographs taken from the same position over a long period is joined together to create a short video. It is great way to capture things like the setting sun, or clouds moving across the sky.
The higher the movie recording bitrate the better the movie quality with more and crispier details and less compression artifacts.
More microphones result in better sound quality and enable the device to filter out background noise.
Battery
CIPA is an independent, standard measurement that determines how many shots a camera can take before the battery dies.
The battery is removable and can be replaced by the user if broken.
The battery can be recharged and used over again.
An indicator shows you when the device has low battery.
Battery power, or battery capacity, represents the amount of electrical energy that a battery can store. More battery power can be an indication of longer battery life.
Features
The device can connect to Wi-Fi.
Bluetooth is a wireless technology that allows you to easily transfer data between different devices, such as smartphones, tablets and computers.
It has two memory card slots, allowing you to store more photos without switching cards. This is particularly useful on long shoots when you need more space.
The camera can take a series of shots, shifting the sensor slightly with each one. These can then be combined to create an extremely high-resolution image. It’s particularly useful for things like photographing artwork.
A raw image file contains minimally processed data from the image sensor. Raw files are so named because they are not yet processed and therefore are not ready to be printed or edited with a bitmap graphics editor.
It is capable of shooting stills in a lossless compressed raw format. This has all the advantages of shooting raw, while taking up much less storage space. The smaller file size also allows quicker read/write speeds.
The Wi-Fi versions supported by the device.
This technology allows the users to use their smartphone as a remote control for the device.
You can output high definition video and audio to a display. This could be through an HDMI port, Mini HDMI port, or a USB-C port that supports HDMI.
Miscellaneous
Pixel density is a measurement of a screen's resolution, expressed as the number of pixels per inch (PPI) on the screen. A higher pixel density translates into more clarity and sharpness for the images rendered on the screen, thus improving the quality of the viewing experience.

Awesome Camera that Performs Wonders with Top-Notch Optics

Many, glancing at the tech specs, might say the A-6600 is just like the A-6500, only more expensive. However, releasing a camera identical to the well-received A-6500 three years later, with the only upgrade being nearly 2.5 times more battery life, would be suicide. The A-6600 is not the same; it's a completely different camera. Everything in it has been revamped. It's a serious professional-grade camera, which is evident from the warranty covering 200 thousand shutter activations (only seen in Sony's mirrorless cameras like the A-7R and A-9). Such a camera undoubtedly requires top-quality optics. Its viewfinder and monitor have half the lag and are brighter. It records video using the entirety of the sensor and in the Super-35 format (i.e., it shoots in 6K and compresses enhancing the detail and color accuracy, which in turn minimizes noise). It features an immediate slow-motion - the function is relegated to a dial (S&Q - slow and quick). Maximum slow-motion is up to 5 times, acceleration up to 60 times. For photos - the A-6600 captures a 16-bit file, which is interpreted down to 14-bit while maintaining detail (obviously, a 16-bit RAW on medium format is even better, but no such technology was available even in full-frames at the time of the A-6600's release). Raw files are slightly less flexible than from the A-9 or A-7M4. Video quality is on par with top-rated sevens. The A-6600's processor is at least twice as powerful as the A-6500's. Their buffer might be identical, but the A-6600's is twice as fast at clearing, even though photo files are more complex to create, indicating a stronger processor. No built-in flash. The entire camera, including the shutter, has been re-engineered to work harder and more delicately. The A-6600 can charge the battery during operation with the included cable, meaning the camera's operating time is unlimited. Similarly, electronic stabilizers can power this camera. It can also be powered from a power bank. The notorious overheating issue during video recording with Sony cameras has been addressed. The A-6500 simply couldn't accommodate such technologies - the processor wouldn't bear it.

Still very good for photography in 2023

Before the A6700 came out, it held the position of the top Sony APS-C mirrorless body. I bought it in 2022, some concepts and the menu system shows the age of the design (4 years old now), but the autofocus and image quality held up remarkably well (seems high iso is even better than the new A6700, and battery life too). All in all, expecting the current discounts, still a good camera in 2023.
