Sony Alpha a6000 Mirrorless Digital Camera with 16-50mm Lens (Graphite)
Great Camera, Super Value
I use this with sigma 30mm art. Fantastic combination. If you're a beginner this camera will make you love photography. As kinda advanced enthusiast I am amazed of the performance. Minimal Lightroom adjustments. Contrast, colors for jepg are excellent. RAW rocks. The only frustration is that Sony limits Sigma lenses to use wide area AF points all across the sensor. Come on Sony! and don't forget to buy extra batteries.

All I can say is WOW!
Sold my Nikon D7100 after a bought this Sony a6000. The fast focus and 8 frames per sec. are great for the sports photography I do. The low light performance is exceptional. For the quality of the photos and the amount of settings this camera should be twice the price. Takes some getting used to the small size and weight when coming from a big DSLR but you learn to love it after carrying it around on an all day shoot.

I am a profession photographer
A great 24 mp 1 sensor and camera. The battery drains much too quickly (on/off) even though the EVF is turned off, airplane mode is on and the brightness setting are turned to normal manual. I wish Sony would address this issue with a firmware update, but they seem to be unwilling to do so. In the past I have used a 16mp NEX-3n and it did not have the battery draining issue so I know Sony is able to solve the problem.

Great image poor navigation
This camera has great still and movie images. However its menu system is a bit busy and time consuming to thumb through. The blacks are a bit too black. If I designed the camera it would fit the scroll dial on the top so thumb can access it. the white balance and focus mode would be accessed on the shooting menu asa pose to the "in camera menu. I like that it has white balance in kelvin and under water if into that.

Unfortunately it didn't work
I was very excited about this purchase because I have been using Phottix wireless flash triggers for about two years and this would fit in perfectly and allow me to use TTL. Unfortunately, I had to return this product because the flash did not work in odin transmitter mode. I am giving it three stars because I have used this companies products and never had a problem so I figure that the problem was an aberration.

Compact and high quality
My wife and I were shopping for a slr canon camera but after testing this Sony a6000 mirror less camera we knew we found what we wanted. This camera is fully automatic. You get what you see. No need to adjust the exposure or other settings. Sony's technology makes it very easy for beginners to use this camera and you get the same quality pictures as an slr camera in a smaller compact unit. Great buy for the money.

Solid all around camera
Bought this camera based off numerous recommendations, being that I am new to photography. I can say so far, that I am not disappointed at all. Considering it is extremely portable and easy to use, I have no complaints whatsoever. There are tons of videos online, some offered by b&h, to learn how to get the most out of this camera, which says that for being such a small camera, it packs a lot of benefits and uses.

Poor quality lens
It was an impressive camera. But the lens is very fragile. The camera was hardly used and one day it could not recognize the 16-50 mm lens. There were a lot discussion in Sony forum about this error code. Most of them are related to the cleanness or some drops. However there was not cleanness or minor drops, it was out of blue that the camera can not recognize the lens. This is purely poor quality or poor design.

Stunning Image Quality
Have had this camera for a week after 30+ years w/ Nikon SLR/DSLR. I shoot derelict properties and street photography. So far, 90% has been with the kit lens--bought the 55-210mm but not sure I'll need it much. Mainly in Aperture Mode. Good menus and Fn options. Bottom line is simple: the image quality I'm getting from this camera is stunning. Highly recommend this piece to a serious advanced amateur or semi-pro.

This camera is a keeper!
I just shot an indoor event. The light was kind of low, but this camera came through for me. I was very pleased with the excellent results. And, more importantly, so were the folks that I was photographing. The camera is a lightweight and very easy to handle. I've taken photos at this same kind of event in the past with my Nikon d800 This little guy exceeded the results from that heavy and very expensive camera.

Great Camera!
I enjoy photography. I've always been a Canon fan. I decided to try Sony out and purchased the A6000. It does not disappoint. I'm not the most advanced photographer but know enough to take decent pictures and I am blown away by the easy settings, the quality of pictures, and overall the size of the camera compared to my Canon DSLR. I recommend this camera and B&H always has the best bundles for an amazing price.

Great APS Camera
IT fits well and is quite reminiscent of the Nex7 I used to own. I also find the EVF to be at least as good as the Nex7 for color and refresh rate and usability. The only thing that is missing is a mic jack, which has required me to look at other options external audio recorders, which kind of defeat the purpose for a portable solution. But, video to me, right now, is not a big issue for me. I would buy again...

Great camera for a beginner
we were looking to buy a basic camera, but not a point and shoot. This was the next best option for someone who doesn't want to just have everything on Auto focus. We are not fancy photographers by any means and were looking for upgrade from our camera phones. The camera is small and light weight. The different settings take a minute to learn but within an hour I was able to learn and take beautiful pictures.

Better than I could have expected
I have used Canon cameras for as long as I can remember. Due to some joint pain (and simple convenience), I needed a light weight GOOD camera. After reading loads of reviews, I chose the Sony a6000 and LOVE it! The silver and black body has a classic look and the body is small, light and easy to take with me everywhere. Now, instead of wishing I had my camera, I DO have my camera with me almost all the time!

Awesome camera!
I decided to trade in my Nikon D5200 for something more compact and portable that still has all the capabilities, bells and features as my Nikon. This is where Sony A6000 came into the picture. While I loved my Nikon, I absolutely adore my Sony. The quality of the camera is awesome and it's hard to believe that it can produce shots that it does in such a small package. Highly recommended camera and vendor.

easy to use
I purchased this item a little under a month. I've used it several times now. It's very easy to use and easy to try out different setting. I chose the sigma 30mm prime lens and it works very well will the camera. The pictures come out great even in low light. I love that it's lightweight so I can carry it with me everywhere. I haven't tried all the features and also I am a novice so I am giving it 4 stars.

Powerful camera in a small package
So far I love this camera. My main photo camera is the Canon 5d Mark III, but I wanted something small I could carry around and be inconspicuous with, for social situations, simple jobs, or just for fun, and so far this camera has been great for that. I keep it in RAW, I've gotten awesome photos. I use the built-in flash and it's surprisingly useful and usable. I haven't messed around with video much yet.

Sony a6000
THis camera has a very quick processor and takes excellent shots. Easy to use dials make it user friendly. The size at first is daunting as it is really small. Not being tech savy I was at first intimidated by the functions but after a day of shooting I have most everything down pat. The user guide is awful and not helpful at all. That it doesn't come with a battery charger is absurd. Great travel camera.

Sony NEX 6 - great update
I recently upgraded my Sony NEX5K to a NEX6. The major changes in the 2 cameras is the built in view finder and moving the camera functions to a knob for faster changes of mode options. I appreciate the viewfinder when using the camera in bright sunlight. The camera also seems to auto focus faster. The battery life is a bit lower then my NEX 5. However, I always carry 2 batteries making this a non-issue.

Go for it
Being recently retired, I find myself traveling more and more. My main camera is a nikon D90, however, it is way too heavy to carry all the time. I've been looking at mirrorless cameras for awhile and finally made the decision to purchase the Sony a6000. What a great decision! The a6000 lives up to it's reviews. Easy to use and beautiful photos. For the price you can't go wrong with this mirrorless gem.

Great camera
I have had the Sony for about 3 weeks and I really like it. I bought Friedman's instruction book and then realized that I had not even touched the surface of what it will do. Some of the pros and cons depend on what lens you have. I have not invested in good lens yet. I'm sure that when I do I will be even more pleased. Battery life is not great. The weight of it takes some getting use to - very light..

Great camera
Amazing camera!!! Super compact, ultra-fast auto focus, bright and clear view finder. For the value, I find it to be the best camera. Its suitable for the laymen but has lots of pro features such as focus peeking, kelvin scale , etc. im really happy with its performance and size! The only downside is the short battery life. So a spare battery is a must in my opinion. Yes, would definitely buy it again!

I just want a Camera to hold
I wanted to have a camera to hold as a walk around the town view the most beautiful moments of my daily path but sometimes carrying a large camera does fit into my daily activities. This Sony is light and also takes wonderful photos that I would recommend sharing with your family and friends at moments in which you can share a light camera and enjoy, The cost is also reasonable.

Buy it again in a heartbeat!
Haven't got all the WiFi stuff figured out for tripping with my phone, the sony app is not as cool as the Panasonic one. I'm sure once I get through it I'll like it. Quality of the photographs is great! The high ISO pictures are the best I've ever gotten on a camera yet. Everything I do goes through Lightroom and It does a great job, the lens corrections are there and that is important too me.
