Sony Alpha a6000 Mirrorless Digital Camera with 16-50mm Lens Deluxe Kit (Graphite)
I made the right decision...
I'm a serious digital photographer and was getting tired of carrying all my DSLR stuff around. I thought about a smaller camera but hastier until I saw the specifications of the Sony a-6000. Picture quality is super. The viewfinder is bright and clear. There are plenty of advanced features. All this with reduced weight.

Will not buy this product again
I wasn't plan to write the review, but I saw most reviews from the web are good, but I find it differently, I brought the alpha 6000 in Dec. 2014. I can't return it...the battery is very bad..you shut it off, it still drain the battery, overnight it can drain 3-4% battery life.Even you turn on the airplane mode, battery still get drain too. On internet, I saw many people have same battery problem, I wish I know this early.I call customer service ... Show More

Awesome camera!
This camera is the perfect camera if you are looking for the manual options that a DSLR provides with the compact convenience of a point and shoot. It takes beautiful pictures!! we couldn't be happier with our purchase!

a firecracker of a camera
i'm a professional who started with minolta 30 years ago, went to nikon through the f-5 film days and then to canon to the mark series and then to nikon through the d4. sony is the next generation and the future to me. mirrorless is pretty fantastic. there is a learning curve in using this little, tiny, itty bitty shrimp of a camera and it's also tricky remembering all the options in powerful tools. it works perfectly when you are sitting and mov...

Flexible, high-quality camera for a reas
I use the A6000 for family photos,videos fo musical performances and fan photos of the Washington Nationals. I am still getting used to the EVF. I miss the speed and sharpness of my Canon 7D Mk II. It is a trade-off for all of the other great features. Noteworthy are the great E-Series Tessar lenses.

Sony knows what is best
I always had Canon GS from 5 to 15 then I want to see the different brand and decide to try Sony Alpha a6000. I enjoy its features and easy to use. I am so thrilled for exchangable lens for small camera.

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.

Great compact dSLR replacement
Lots of features - very customizable, built in HDR and panorama etc. The included 16-50 lens has an electronic zoom mechanism which Feels very laggy compared to a normal manual-zoom lens. Excellent image quality.

Sweet mother of...
This camera is the best! Fast autofocus, versatility and a sweet processor is the selling point of this camera. If you want a camera for all purpose this is your rig! IT's no wonder why many pros are switching to this camera. If you're into HDR...buy! If you're a beginner..buy. If you are in need or just want a great camera..BUY!

Leaves much to be desired
I have had this camera for a little over a month (switched from nikon d5100). I wanted to use it for a little while so i can assess it objectively. i want to list all it's wonderful features, but i am stuck on Four huge issues that really overshadow positives. 1. it can't focus to save it's life in areas with low lighting. it takes such awful pixelated images, that you feel like you have been thrown back to 1999. So you think, ok low lighting, le... Show More

Just What I Needed Moving Up from PnS
Great camera with lots of options and settings. I've always stretched my phone cameras and Sony point-n-shoot to the max so it's great to have something that allows me so much more flexibility and room to grow without the bulk. It is bigger than a phone or PnS but still very manageable for hiking and carrying around. Still getting used to the PZ kit lens, I think if I would do it over I would spend a little extra and get a wide-angle prime but th... Show More

Great Camera
I was concerned about corner softness with kit lens and when looking at raw pics with sony raw convertor was disappointed. However when using lightroom using lens profile correction the corners seemed to sharpen up considerably and looked good with a judicious bit of sharpening. I would have no reservations about using this kit lens for landscapes with high frequency detail. Zooming to 18 mm from 16 seemed to make a noticeable difference too. Battery life seems better when wireless is in airplane mode.

Great camera, annoying usability bug
This is a fantastic camera that has fast autofocus, a sensor that makes great images, and a very clear electronic viewfinder that is the closest I have seen to a real optical viewfinder (I also shoot film with a Leica rangefinder). But it has a terrible usability bug that hits specially hard those that prefer to use this great EVF: the sensor that detects whether you are looking through the viewfinder resets the timer that makes the camera go to ...

Great Camera
You can massage great images in Lightroom out of this camera.Lens profiling, sharpening and clarity pull the details out of the files. With these changes I'm happy with my landscapes with the kit lens.

Amazing pictures
I just got this camera, and I love it! It's so nice and small compared to my dslr. The images are great. It's a little slow in low light with the kit lens, but I used my friends prime lens, and that helped at the dark aquarium exhibits.

Best Transition from a 35 mm Film camera
State of the art, easy to understand the set-up and use in the directions, professional appearance, lightweight and cost effective as a purchase.

One of the Best !
The camera is not too big and is not too small. It's better than the other big SRL because of high speed in taking/download the pictures.

I really like this camera. Such great pictures for it's size. The kit lens is a little slow at low light, but that is all solved with the right prime lens.

instructions & manual worthless
The camera appears to be a good camera but the manual is next to worthless. It shouldn't even be called an instruction manual, it's just a small pamphlet that tells you the name of the buttons on the camera but very little about what they do, nothing about how to format the memory card. I own a video production business and I am not unfamiliar with how to format memory cards I read this manual Cover to cover and found nothing about formatting the... Show More

I got no complaints with the a6000.. Going from a canon 60d to this I'm loven it lighter faster and sharper

great camera/value, buy extra batteries
great camera, eats batteries (buy extras!). Doesn't lock focus as fast or easily as a DSLR and telephoto lens options could be much better.
