Sony Alpha a6000 Mirrorless Digital Camera with 16-50mm and 55-210mm Lenses Deluxe Kit (Black)
Perfect for learning!
This is a really great camera to learn more about photography. It is light and small enough that it doesn't require an entire backpack, produces great results even for an intermediate amateur, and has all the necessary controls to learn about advanced photography features.My favorite characteristic is the focus peaking, allowing the combination with legacy lenses, for an affordable introduction to fixed-width photography. Because, let's face it, shelling out $ for a single lens is very expensive when you're not sure you have the skills required to actually get the most out of it.

Super Nice
I really like this camera. I sold the NEX 6 for this , because I wanted a camera with a menu more like my Sony A7 + I can custom set more buttons .

Great Camera - Especially for the price.
I am just learning to use all of the features, but I am already taking the best pictures of my life.

Good value for the price
I am satisfied with the overall performance of the camera, but there are three things that disappoint me: battery life, poor quality LCD screen and the raw format is not yet recognized by my software. It is essential to buy a battery and extra charger.

So Far Amazing
Believe the hype. I haven't even scratched the surface with this camera yet, but the initial results are amazing. I was looking for a camera to take high into the mountains and this is small enough to do so. The speed is perfect for action shots.

Great little camera
Really small - about the same size as my Canon PowerShot G11 - but with a much larger image sensor.Too bad SONY does not include an external battery charger. I believe an external battery charger is necessary, and the SONY charger costs about $.

Great Camera for the Enthusiast and up!
just got this and here is what I like: * Image Quality is great * camera is comfortable and very light with kit lens * video quality is great Biggest Con is the directions are pretty minimal

Excellent value
I'm a beginner when it comes to DSLR and this is my first camera. Have been using it extensively the last 2 weeks and I've been loving this baby so far :) Pros: - APS-C Sensor - Controls are easy to use - The 16-50 mm kit lens and the 55-210mm telephoto (I bought my camera with these 2), are really good lenses for a beginner or an amateur from what I could see. - The auto-focus is really fast. - The continuous shooting mode works nicely. - Wifi/N...

Amazing Lightweight Camera
I am not a professional photographer. I picked up this camera to use as a hobby. The camera has amazing Auto Focus! With the stock kit lens and good lighting I am able to get 98% of the photos in focus. This was extremely useful photographing for a kids birthday party. The problem with this camera is that there is not a lot of E-mount lens available, and the ones are not really that fast F Stop Speaking. If I knew better I would have gotten an NEX 6 or 7 for cheap and just gotten a Metabones Speed Adapter to Canon FD lenses or Micro 4/3rds. The cameras use the same sensor as the A6000

Fun to shoot with
I use the a6000 as a carry with me quick draw ready to shoot camera. This camera has a stellar sensor. Put a great lens on it and find out. I really like the 11fps, EVF, focus peaking, small size and weight. It's always ready to shoot. Unlike my D800. The a6000 is really fun to use. Controls can be customized to your hearts content. If you have kids, or pets, you can take action stopping shots you never new you missed until you see them right before your eyes. Love it. There are no cons.

As Great as I could possibly expect.
I purchased this camera to have updated video features and a small walk around camera. I do not like the sensor size of the m43 camera's and wanted to adapt my Nikon glass. This camera has blown my expectations out of the water. Great clean clear image, and I love the colors and look straight out of camera RAW for photo's. The EVF is very responsive and almost no shutter lag. Amazing camera, and a must have for video shooters looking for a light package. If only it had XAVC-S like the upcoming A7s, then this camera would be perfect.

Liking it so far
I primarily shoot with Nikon bodies and lenses, currently a D7000 and D800 and lenses ranging from a prime 35 to the Sigma 150-500. Those are great options for travel where photography is the primary object or at least a significant focus of a trip. But what to do when you are really traveling for business, but want to be prepared? This is a really great option. I had a previous version of the alpha nex series, and upgraded to this body because o... Show More

Worth the wait and the money no question
I switched over from a Canon EOS 70D to the Sony a6000. At first I thought I would be missing the big body Canon but quickly after I started using the Sony my mind eased. I have gotten some great shots with the Sony that i wouldn't have been able to with the Canon due to its size. The quality of the shots I have been getting from the Sony are remarkably colorful and sharp. I have the Sony 50mm f/1.8 lens on it and I am pretty sure it will almost ... Show More

Great image quality, a few Sony quirks
I'm moving up from a Sony NEX-6, and after using it for a couple of weeks I find the A6000 to be a significant improvement. Low light shots are better, and overall I find images to be sharper, less contrasty and containing more accurate color than with the NEX-6. Fairly rugged construction, a nice viewfinder, a tilting display and decent on-camera flash are other positives. So far I'm using only the 16-50mm kit lens (which is better than I expect... Show More

Fun camera that takes seriously good pix
Lots of good stuff to play with but if your not in the mood switch to an auto mode and be surprised at how smart the camera is. Also, keep in mind that the 24mp chip allows use of digital zoom while maintaining picture quality. You might opt to use only the included 16-55mm lens and keep the camera size (& price) to a minimum.

Excellent
I've been shooting left and right with the camera. learning about all its features and trying to use as many as possible. The camera is EXCELLENT and I'm truly happy I bought it. I think I could have done with out the 16-50mm lens. It seems to stretched the images at their frame edges. However, it came truly handy last weekend during the the crossfit northeast regionals. the ability to zoom in out was right on the money. The battery life was pretty decent a solid 7hrs with enough left over juice. Bottom line, the Sony Alpha a6000 is superb!

Nice little camera
I really like this little camera and I purchased it mostly for its portability on travel. I also own a NEX6 (that my wife has taken over) and the A6000 is a worthy upgrade for sure. I like the styling and the weight and I LOVE the new menu system and wish they would come out with a firmware upgrade so I had this on my A77 also. The speed is shooting is great and I really like the ability to set the speed to low, medium or high when continuous sho... Show More

I love this camera. I was looking for a smaller camera to replace my Canon 5D Mark III for vacations and general walk-around. I've been a Canon shooter for over 15 years but I feel (at the moment) they just don't have anything worth owning in the mirrorless (I've owned and sold my EOS M).

Best Mirror-less Camera on the Market!
I've had the camera for several weeks now and I absolutely love it. Of course, making the jump from a compact underwater camera to a mirror-less interchangeable camera will be a big jump. But the camera's ability to shoot 11fps with continuous auto-focusing is great. Can't say enough how happy I am. I have the kit lens, so far so good. Best not to use in low light. I recommend buying the Zeiss 24mm, f.1.8 to accompany your a6000. Expensive, yes b... Show More

Amazing Camera for the price
This camera is fantastic, especially for the price point. I have been using an A7 since January, and then bought this as a second body. The camera preforms in a very similar fashion to the a7, with a much faster motor which allows you take photos at 11fps. I would recommend this over an A7 for anyone who shoots sports, or is interested in having a very high quality compact camera. The only reason in my opinion to get the a7 over the a6000 is for ...

When weight and size matter.
For our first adventure outside of point and shoot, this has been a stellar performer in most respects. Seeing several sites doing image quality comparisons, I agree that this provides quite a high level of IQ. We have noticed the softness of the AF system during the high speed continuous burst modes. Attempting to capture pileated woodpeckers in flight in dimmer forest environments with the kit 70-210mm maxed out at f5.6 left many unusable image... Show More

Nice Camera
I bought this camera as a light weight alternative to my D800. It works well and is easy to carry around. It focuses fast and the photos have come out very well. I take most of my photos in RAW and on Manual and I'm pleased with the general outcome. The cons would be you'd better have a pocket full of batteries? Another thing to get used to is the short delay while the photo is written to the memory card. Also there is a lot of distortion with th... Show More
