The Sony α6600 (model ILCE-6600) is a mirrorless APS-C format digital camera introduced in August 2019.[1][2] It replaced the Sony α6500, launched in 2016, as Sony's flagship crop‑frame body.[1] The camera reviewed well for its fast and accurate autofocus.[1][3] Although primarily a stills camera, the α6600 can shoot video to good effect.[2]

- unlimited video recording (previously limited to 30 minutes)
- support for HDR video profiles (HLG, HLG1, HLG2, HLG3)

- in‑built flash removed
- now uses the higher capacity NP-FZ100 lithium-ion rechargeable battery
