Two other rivals come from Sony itself: the recent A6400 lacks the stabilisation, long battery and headphone jack, but is otherwise almost identical and costs a considerable $500 less, while the arguably more compelling full-frame A7 III could end up working out a similar price depending on the lenses you couple them with. To be fair, the X-T3 lacks built-in stabilisation, a long battery life, unlimited recording and a screen that faces you, so there’s lots to weigh-up. It all adds up to an attractive package, but there’s some key downsides to consider, including a lack of twin SD card slots or even one that exploits the speed of modern UHS-II cards, a fairly average viewfinder resolution for the price, no AF joystick, no touch functionality beyond the basics, and no 4k above 30p or in 10 bit, revealingly all available on the Fujifilm X-T3 at a similar price. Summary The A6600 becomes Sony’s most powerful APSC mirrorless camera to date, sporting a 24 Megapixel sensor with confident autofocus across almost the entire frame, 11fps shooting, unlimited video recording, 4k up to 30p, 1080 up to 120p, a screen that angles all the way up to face you, built-in stabilisation, mic and headphone jacks and the longest battery life of any camera in its class.
