Sony Alpha a6000 Mirrorless Digital Camera with 16-50mm Lens (White)
Loves a great zoom or prime
I have both a Sony A7 and A6000 and I use the A6000 as a second body to mount my old Nikon film lenses with a Metabone adapter. The A7 is more forgiving of zooms, the A6000 really performs well with a great zoom. But both cameras give wonderful results with old primes. The Sony sensors are capable of great detail and sharpness. I love the manual focusing options and the focus peaking, but the Zebra function is far less useful than Olympus's highl... Show More

Great little camera
Myself: Photography is a hobby and by no means a professional photographer but love to capture life as much as possible. Summary: Great camera for travel and all purpose photography. I have a Canon 70D and a few lenses. Wanted to a small form factor during my short trips. Bought a 35 mm lens with the camera instead of the stock lens options being sold at costco and other stores. 35 mm gives me a good wide angle view you can use it for portraits a... Show More

Amazing Camera!
I used to be an avid photographer back in 2009 and have been so busy and broke that I haven't had the time since then to purchase any new gadgets. My last camera was a Nikon F4, so as you can imagine how much catching up I have to do! This camera is easy to use. Every function on the dial explains to you what the feature is but, you'll have to figure out on your own how to use it. The kit lense that came with it is decent and the autofocus on thi...

Best Mirrorless Camera for the Money
Where to start? The a6000 is a tiny wonder, and should be priced at $1,000 for what you get. There really is nothing that it cannot do. Do yourself a favor and go on YouTube and type in Sony a6000 reviews. Gary Fong is the first place I'd go, but also check out what Sports Illustrated photographer Patrick Murphy Racey, who has used the Sony a6000 to shoot college football, has to say--he sold his Nikon gear and switched to Sony.

As Described
The a6000 lives up to its reviews. It has features that some experienced SLR/DSLR users may miss, such as ease of use when switching between center focus and full-sensor autofocus. Automatic autofocus works great--manual focus with flexible spot selection is amazing. In tests continuous autofocus and high speed drive has locked to birds in flight. The electronic viewfinder works well for me, even with glasses on. Lack of a touch screen does not d... Show More

Trumps my wife's DSLR at 1/5th the price
This mirrorless camera is the perfect carry and shoot companion! The camera specs alone trump my wife's $ DSLR. With Sony's amazing 179 autofocus points it's hard to shoots anything blurry!

Stunning quality in a pocket size camera
This is definitely the best interchangeable lens camera at this price tag. I use sony a99 as my work camera and I use to have the nex6 as my travel camera. But this one is great , 24.3 mp with great Image quality, at low iso the IQ is almost the same as my a99. with the converter to a mount I use my lenses to test IQ and it is hard to see a difference.

If you want to see photos taken with it, my Instagram is davyn_9I bought this camera 5 months ago after doing extensive research before purchasing. I got the 16-50mm, and the 55-210mm.

When you compare this camera to bulky DSLRs there isn't much that they can do better. People ... Show More

A very capable compact DSLR
This is my go to camera when I travel. I like the results of using this camera with 55-210mm/f4.5-6.3 OSS shooting handheld. The combination is possibly the most compact and lightweight outfit of that focal range among all DSLRs. Sony packs a lot of technologies in this camera. So in terms of photography I think my creativity is the limit. Though a lot of good things can be said about this camera, there are a couple of things that need improvemen... Show More

This camera is awesome!
The A6000 sees a low light scene very comparable to what your eyes see which is one of the best features of this camera. The Superior auto mode is absolutely fantastic for low light scenes. The camera very light weight, takes sharp images, and shoots excellent video. I like that I can use the view finder to shoot video rather than using the LCD screen. It is easier to keep the camera steady when hand holding it. (although you can use the LCD scre... Show More

Great bang for the buck.
It's a great looking camera with its retro silver touches, it's shutter speed blasts most intro/mid level dslr's out of the water and the picture quality is some of the best I've seen with any camera but that's because I've paired it with some Zeiss glass. The electronic view finder is much better than I had expected and I actually like it more than the traditional dslr viewfinder. It's compact mirrorless body is so much easier to carry around th...

Big Problem

A Real Winner.But Not Without Compromise
I am a non professional photographer who was looking for a lightweight alternative to my Nikon DSLR. The Alpha 6000 fits the bill quite handily. Navigation is pretty straight forward once you get the hang of things since standard terminology is used. Among the great features is the ability to connect to my Android phone for both picture transfer and camera control.

Light weight but long range
A couple of years ago, I bought an A5000, which I like quite a bit. Adding the two-lens A6000 package allowed me to mount a lens on each body to alleviate the hassle of changing lenses. Both bodies and lenses are quite light weight and comfortable to carry around the neck at the same time. The 16-50 mm lens starts out at a wider angle than most mirrorless and DSLR zooms. The top focal length of 50 mm doesnt really lend itself to portraiture as we... Show More

a6000 + 16-50mm lens
I am REALLY happy with this camera. The controls are intuitive and the ease of use is remarkable. Coming from a Nikon background, I thought that I would have a lot of difficulty learning the new system. However, within a couple of sessions, I was shooting in Aperture priority as i normally do with my DSLR. Of course there is a lot more to learn, but I'm thoroughly enjoying the shooting experience with this little camera. It's a small thing, but I... Show More

Amazing Compact Powerhouse
So I originally bought this camera to be an interim solution while waiting for the new line of Canon cameras to hit the market. I am officially sold on the Sony's and will probably end up just buying the a-mount adapter and buying some good a-mount glass. Pros: Camera is super lightweight and very compact. With the 150/mbs card the 11fps doesn't ever bog. Great features, including a very good auto-focus system. Cons: Obviously the lens selection ... Show More

not happy with this camera at all
There is a lot of things I did not like about this camera. First I was surprised at how many good reviews this camera has gotten. I imagine the sensor is what's the best about it. Unfortunately the rest of the camera doesn't fit the bill. I was totally shocked it doesn't come with a charger, no raw software included. Felt really cheap in build quality. I also did not like the EVF, still think a OVF works best for my needs. The lens felt like some... Show More

great image quality but needs work on
This would be a perfect small camera if sony would do a couple of things to it.One thing is give it a front dial and rear dial for aperture and shutter speed and do away with the fiddly scroll wheel on the back and just make that a joystick pad for selecting focus points. That fiddly little scroll wheel on the back is a pain because it is so flat and you will constantly find yourself trying to turn it to change your shutter speed in manual mode a... Show More

So far so good!
I have been playing with it for about two weekends now, and am really happy with it. First mirrorless after deciding to get rid of my Nikon D5000. My only complaint is that it takes a long time to wake up from sleep but apparently turning it off/on instead of letting it sleep while taking street photos is the way to go to stop that from happening. Love that I can bounce the flash which is rare for built in flash. Also, you can charge the battery ... Show More

Great camera
Such a great little camera for a fair price. I have the Canon 6D and bought this as a lighter alternative. I had the NEX-7 couple of years ago, which was a great camera, but for the cost at the time I was disappointed by the AF speed and tempted by the ISO performance of the large Canon that I replaced it with. The AF speed of the A6000 is much improved and I haven't yet seen it anywhere underperform when compared to the NEX-7. This will definite... Show More

HUGE DEAL in such a little package!
