Sony Alpha a6000 Mirrorless Digital Camera with 16-50mm Lens and Accessory Kit (White)
as good as advertised
This is a lot of camera in a small form factor. I primarily use this for the video features. What I needed was 1080 @ 60p with a low cost entry point and good functionality. The a6000 is all that I need it to be and shoots excellent photos as well. I paired it with the 35mm 1.8 Sony glass and feel as though I have one of the most powerful camera packages you can obtain for around $.

Soft images
Not sure if that was AF issue or the lens issue or it's just lens limitation but the images came out way too soft, as with defective AF. I can literally make better photos with my Xperia smart phone.

Did not dissapoint
I was looking for a camera that was small and light weight that would take great pictures for backpacking. I was blown away! If youre a packer, I don't think you could do better. Ive had beautiful,crisp,colorful 20X30 enlargements out of this camera. Could go bigger if I had a bigger wall!

The camera I'd been waiting for
I've owned a dozen camera systems in my life. This camera is better than any I've ever owned. OK, maybe not better than the Contax G2 with Zeiss lenses but that was film. This little thing is a marvel. I find the menus much more intuitive to navigate than I thought they would be. The controls are conveniently placed. The size is great for travel, which is one of the main reasons I bought it. The electronic viewfinder is good, could be better, cou... Show More

Awesome camera
I bought just a few days ago, but I'm using it in my vacation and the quality of the camera is very good. When it's possible I'll buy new lenses and others stuffs.

I am more a dslr guy, but I gotta say that is a6000 is awesome. Picture quality and video quality is top of the line. Super fast af, and I am loving it.

Superb build quality. Superb images.
I traded in my Sony NEX 7 for this camera because of the updated BIONZ X processor and super fast focusing. Images are crisp and vibrant.

An excellent camera and a real advance
I now use this and the Nex-6. I miss the horizon level function in the viewfinder on the a6000, but a small price to pay, I guess (though I wish they'd have kept it, even at a higher price for the camera) for the improvements in other regards. The downgrade in resolution of the EVF is made up for by the quality of the image and the utter usabilty, even in assisted manual focus mode (DMF). All in all, I'm very happy to use both cameras, and I appreciate the somewhat greater resolution and higher quality of the sensor in the a6000.

Canon No More....
Headed out to test my new a6000 with 24-70 f4 Z lens. I just sold my TWO Canon 6D's and ONE 70D, along with the lenses. I've replaced them with the a6000 and TWO a7s bodies. I couldn't be happier! Canon and Nikon has lost my business and Sony has a new fanboy.

Good bye canon
I bought an a7s for video and decided to try the a6000 to see if it would replace my canon 6D. The answer is yes.

Great travel camera!
Purchased this and the Zeiss 16-70 f4 for a trip to the Holy Land. The reviews on low-light performance sold me and I was not disappointed. Not sure if as good as my Canon 6D with the 24-105 but pretty darn close and a lot lighter to lug around. The only downside and not a really fair comparison is the the full-frame 6D allows for some serious cropping and still have a usable image. Very impressed with low-light video! Yes you need extra batteries but small price to pay to keep such a small form factor while traveling.

The perfect camera for me!
While I'm still getting to know how the camera performs, I decided to buy the A6000 rather than the A7 because I primarily wanted a fast auto-focus for photographing animals at my animal shelter. I'm getting some amazing photos and the cost of the A6000 saved me quite a bit of money that I can now spend on homeless animals. Light and easy to carry, I am so glad I purchased this Sony model.

Sony a6000
I am a professional photographer and have sold all my DSLR equipment for the mirrorless age. It is my third mirrorless, and I will never return to the old technology DSLR ever! Sony makes the best by far.

Great Streetlife Camera
I've only had the camera for a month, but have already captured some incredible shots of citizens using public space in New York, Pittsburgh, Copenhagen, Malm, and Stockholm. I love this camera, absolutely no buyers' remorse like I usually have.My favorite thing to do so far is to do continuous shooting and create animated .gifs afterwards.

Wow
I do a lot of travel and this product was great. It arrived the day before I left on a two week trip to Europe. I was able to learn how to use the basics instinctively. Just wish the enclosed manual was more than how to insert a battery and memory card. I will be using this camera every time I travel.

Basically amazing
I've been a canon user for years, even made a living with their products. I recently gave up the photo living to pursue another dream so I thought I'll just downsize. I picked up the a6000 after reading some tech reviews. I have to say, this little mirrorless camera blows away every piece of canon equipment Ive ever used. The purists will disagree but when it comes down to it, nobody is looking at an image at 300% and evaluating pixels other than... Show More

Best camera for the price
The Sony a6000 features an APS-C with a standard 16-50 mm power zoom lens, which is great if you are like me and just beginning photography. There are numerous settings, it's easy to use, and has an adjustable LCD for taking pictures at different angels. The pop up flash allows night photography with crystal clear pictures. There's also a wifi setting that allows you to wirelessly transfer your photos to your device. Overall I think this is a great camera or the price, but if you want to do professional photography you should invest in a full frame camera.

Nice camera body
I gave this to my husband for a second camera body so he did not have to change lenses as often. He loves it. He has spent days playing with the features. He can do more artsy stuff than with his old camera body. It is solid and compact.

Great Camera
Had problems with the first and second camera that I had bought. Niether would read or format the SD cards. Received the third camera and It works perfectly. Great photos and Video is very very nice. B and H handled all of the returns of the 2 cameras. Wouldn't buy from anyone else. I will still give the camera 5 stars even with the problems that I had with the first 2.

BOUGHT AN a6000? DON'T GIVE UP!
There are many things about this camera that caused gut wrenching disappointment in me when I first started taking pictures with it. I am writing this review to let you know it is a GREAT CAMERA, once you get past the handicap. The handicap Sony software engineers have loaded it with picture fiddling software, that causes unfortunate outcomes like fine mud smear background effect, lack of precision in pictures and unreal colour.

Great lightweight camera
I am not a professional but like to take photos and want them to be reasonably good. This camera is light weight and thus easy for me, an older person, to carry. And so I am more likely to do so. Although they, too, are lightweight, It takes better pictures than a cell phone or tablet and has the ability to manually adjust all parameters. It can take rapid pictures, panoramic pictures and automatically adjusted pictures. The only negative is that the battery life is not as good as my Canon 7D. But it has not been an issue yet.

Best value in mirrorless today
Great image quality. (Better than my Canon 70D or 100D/SL1.)Great auto-focus speed. (A bit faster than 70D, especially in live view, and WAY faster than SL1.)Small and light, but NOT TOO small and light. (Easier to carry than 70D and even the very compact SL1. But, still easy to grip and hold.)I have only used it in Fine JPEG mode, not Raw. So, I can't comment on Raw quality. But, JPEG's are crystal clear, and enjoy Sony's built-in lens correctio...
