Sony could possibly be making means for high-end APS-C mirrorless with discontinuations

Sony’s crop-sensor APS-C format mirrorless cameras have all the time had solely a restricted variety of fashions, and that quantity is now lowering.

Last yr, Sony eliminated the Alpha A6300 mannequin from its web site, which finally led to retailers eradicating it from cabinets. It’s now the flip of the Sony A6500 to comply with swimsuit, with the digital camera now not listed on Sony’s on-line market and a few retailers labeling it as “no longer available” or eradicating any point out of the mannequin fully.

That leaves simply the Sony A6000, A6100, A6400 and the A6600 within the firm’s APS-C format our bodies – at the very least in some markets. In Australia, solely three of these fashions can be found on Sony’s on-line storefront – the A6000 from 2014, and the 2019-released A6400 and A6600. Does this imply the A6100 is doomed as properly?

The discontinuation of the A6300 and the A6500 does make sense – they’re getting old kits that launched in March 2016 and October 2016 respectively – however the A6100 was solely introduced in 2019 and was the successor to the A6000, bringing some vital upgrades over the older mannequin.
