Re: Sony A6500

I've just got an update from Sony.
The touchscreen will let you double-tap to zoom into an image in playback mode.
You can then swipe around the screen to navigate.
There's no swiping between images, though.

Touchpad AF
Like Panasonic cameras and the recent Canon EOS M5, the a6500's touchscreen can still be used as a touchpad to specify the autofocus point when shooting through the camera's electronic viewfinder. In touchpad mode, the control of the AF point is unfortunately always relative, rather than (at least an option for) absolute, so you swipe to move the AF point from its current position, rather than touching exactly where you want it to be.
The camera lets you select whether both the touchscreen and touchpad modes are available, letting you disengage the touch sensitivity if you only want to use it with your eye to the finder, or only want it active when using the rear LCD.
There's also the option to limit the active area of the touchscreen for touchpad AF to the right 1/2, right 1/4, or whole screen (you can't only use the left half). The touchpad can also be set to disable when you turn the camera into the portrait orientation - to prevent your nose from accidentally selecting the AF point.
Our initial thoughts? Touchpad AF with the eye to the finder feels laggy. Furthermore, we wish Sony had included an option for absolute (in addition to relative) positioning, as it's a far faster way of instantly zipping the AF point to your desired position during viewfinder shooting. And ideally, Sony would've offered 'absolute' positioning with selectable quadrants for touchpad AF - a la Canon EOS M5 style - as the aspect ratio of a quadrant of the LCD closely matches that of the entire frame, making AF point positioning intuitive.
