Sony Alpha A6600
Score: 81/100
Nikon Z 6II
Score: 84/100Rankings
The Nikon Z 6II offers a 24.5 MP full-frame sensor, dual Expeed 6 processors and 5-stop IBIS, delivering solid performance for hybrid stills and video work. Absence of 8K video and a relatively heavy body are its main compromises. It fits hybrid shooters needing reliable low-light capability and dual card redundancy.
The Sony Alpha a6600 is a flagship APS-C mirrorless camera that combines a 24.2 MP sensor, 5-axis IBIS and a long-lasting battery for hybrid shooting. Its trade-offs are a heavier body, lack of a built-in flash and a relatively small grip for larger hands. It is ideal for enthusiast creators who need fast AF, handheld 4K video and durable weather-sealed construction.

Professional reviewers commend the a6600 for marrying high-speed autofocus, robust IBIS and unlimited 4K video in a compact, weather-resistant body, positioning it as the flagship APS-C hybrid. However, they note that many of these features are already present in cheaper siblings, and the added weight and lack of built-in flash temper its appeal for some users.
Everyday users appreciate the long battery life, effective in-body stabilization and fast eye-AF, especially for vlogging and travel shooting. Recurring themes of criticism focus on the camera's weight, the relatively small grip for larger hands, and the absence of a built-in flash or fully sealed lens.
Professional reviewers consider the Z 6II a solid evolutionary upgrade, praising its low-light performance, 5-stop IBIS and dual card slots while noting the lack of 8K video and higher-resolution sensor as drawbacks.
User feedback is scarce in the available sources; no common praise or complaints were extracted, indicating limited publicly shared everyday user sentiment for this model.
“425 phase-detection and 425 contrast-detection AF points with 0.02 s focus acquisition and Real-time Eye AF for fast, accurate tracking.”
“5-axis in-body image stabilization (IBIS) enables handheld 4K video and steady stills without a tripod.”
