Sony Alpha a6000 Mirrorless Digital Camera with 16-50mm Lens (Black)
Marvelous camera, battery life shocking
Briefly, this is the most capable camera I've ever owned and I'm leaving a Canon 5DII system. The weight enables me to take it anywhere, the Zeiss 16-70 lens is sharp and responsive for my needs. I was aware of a battery life issue prior to buying but I was surprised how short a life each charge has. I got a spare battery and one just died last night so B&H will get another order. Sony I dont know if I'm doing something wrong, or if Canon is just... Show More

Great camera with only minor issues
I bought this camera with the kit lens at B&H after months of reading reviews and handling several other cameras. I don't regret my choice. The A6000 is a great camera: it is small yet handles very well (indeed its shutter noise is both pleasing and evidence of high design and manufacturing quality). Focusing is very fast except in very dark environments. The EVF is very good and very gratifying in low light. picture quality is very good as is vi... Show More

Surprised
Still learning how to use the camera and all its menus. Initially impressed with all of it's capabilities. It will make an excellent travel camera.

Excellent camera!!
I am a hobbyest photographer and have been looking for a compact system camera for a while now. Finally, I decided to pull the trigger and get the A6000. The auto focus is nothing short of amazing, image quality is excellent and it is overall just a wonderful little camera. A perfect blend of convenience and quality.

Definitely the Alpha camera on the block
I had been using a Cannon SLR for a number of years but found I was using my iPhone more often for pictures than my camera. A good friend recommended the a6000 so since we were going on a trip I decided to do so with a new camera. It has lived up to all expectations, ease of use, quality of output, technically challenging if one wants to be, and great support videos from B&H's library. Im in Europe for one more week, but the first week using the camera has been fantastic.

Wish I had gotten this sooner.
I'm a photographer/editor doing more shooting. Sold most of my Canon/Nikon stuff (except a couple favorite lenses) and got this after sooooo many people raving about it online. XAVC-S looks great with the v2 firmware update. Kit lens looks surprisingly good, and killer deal for the 55-210. Don't wait. Get it and get to work. There will always be something newer, but I'm a total Sony fan now.

Stong tool, weak sound
Like many things in life, what is important is in the details. Sony has once again produced a great product. The Alpha a6000 produces crisp edges to main focal points. The grab focus feature allows you keep the focus on specific moving objects or persons while filming. However, the quality of built in mic is easily superseded by most built in mics on smart phones. When filming, you get two sound recordings. First is the flat sharp echo tone of th... Show More

Great camera!
I was choosing between the A6000 and X-T10. My main purpose of buying a camera was for family pictures and capturing the moments of my kid growing up. It was definitely a tough decision as I like the controls of the X-T10 and the JPEG output. However it really came down to ergonomics. For the A6000, my wife and I could take photos with one hand. Also she felt the Sony was easier for her to use. So that ultimately was the defining factor. You can't go wrong with either, but the A6000 has been a great camera and we are very happy with the RAW files, which we edit in LR.

Amazing little Thing
This is an amazing camera. It's just the right size for street / travel photography, lightweight, built well, feels great in the hands. Operates fast and without any hiccups and issues. Image Quality is best for a crop sensor. Image is really clean with ISO up to 1600 (Zero Noise Reduction), Dynamic Range and Shadow recovery is great. Jpegs are very good. AF is very fast and accurate. Shutter is nice and not too loud. EVF isn't sharp enough but i... Show More

No more focus and recompose
Originally bought for walk around camera for casual shooting, but love it so much I almost shoot with A6000 exclusively now. Coming from Canon 6D (11 AF points), the A6000 is heavenly when focusing. No more focus and recompose on every shot. Granted it is a few milli-second slower on auto focus vs DSLR, doesnt matter much to me as I don't shoot sports or fast moving subjects often. And I dont use tripod when I don't have to anymore, this is so li... Show More

everything I wanted
hobbyist photographer moving over from Canon dSLR. This little thing can take some serious images. I love the small size, quick shooting, quick AF, and excellent image quality. Using my Canon lenses via an adapter is functional but not ideal (unusable AF). Paired with an e-mount lens, this thing is a dream come true.

Really good travel camera with some caveats
I have used this camera very extensively now to make some judgement. I like the layout and position of buttons and dials, as well as the menu, even though I think Fuji X-T1 has a better layout and menu. It focuses really fast and accurate and in dimmed light with a fast lens is quite good but not excellent. Color rendition is great but not as accurate like my Canon 5D3. High ISO noise performance for images detail is also really good considering ... Show More

Great Camera for the price
This camera was a replacement for my Nikon D80. I was looking for a compact camera as I found the D80 too heavy, especially while traveling. The a6000 was prefect for me. It's lightweight, easy to use and I really like to electronic viewfinder. I'm extremely impressed with the quality of the images, even with the kit lens. I looked at the Nikon 1 J5, but chose the a6000 for its viewfinder, better image quality and better feel. The a6000 has a goo... Show More

Great Mirrorless!
I use this camera to take (and sell) stock photos. It's fast enough to capture hummingbirds (up to 11 fps) and light enough that I'll carry it anywhere. So far, I'm loving it.

Versatile travel camera
I purchased this camera for international travel to have a lighter camera than my Canon 6D. I was pleased with the results from the smaller sensor. This camera has a lot of user functionality and I appreciated having the HDR capability built in. The resolution of the photos is adequate for the 8x10 calendars that I produce each year. Of course, the detail is not near as fine as a full frame sensor, but it is a good compromise if you are looking t... Show More

Like many photographers I was looking for a powerful, compact and light camera to carry around. I use this for my art work and travel shots. Perfect blend of new tech and design.

I learned that you should always have a camera with you....carrying a Nikon DSLR is not always easy to do. This Sony a6000 is easy to carry and you will never miss the shot. Get one now.

Very happy
This camera is great. I use it to take pictures of my kids sporting events, vacations, and family gatherings. The camera body is light weight and the included kit lense is very good. It's great for printing out normal size pictures. If your planning on doing large(poster size) prints then I would recommend a different lense. Some reviewers were saying the kit lense sucks. This is not true at all. They are just snobby pixel warriors. I've enlarged... Show More

I have to say...
I haven't had this camera long but I'm really surprised at the quality. There is some banding on some photos, (stripes down the image on some images) The raw file isn't as good as my Nikon D700 but this camera costs a fraction of what the pro bodies cost. I'm still getting use to the controls, but I find them pretty easy to use coming from Nikon. Bottom line, Image quality and Video quality are really really nice. I love the size of this camera a...

Excellent broadcast video with 2.0 upgrade
Went on a German site and upgraded to 2.0 firmware to shoot video in XAVC. Bottom line, I just shot beauties, billboard shots, weigh ins and fighter B-Roll for Network MMA fight. Just added a good camera light and video looked great and cut with much higher priced video gear. Stills are better than ever with the upgrade. I used the Sony 28-70mm F3.5-5.6 zoom and Sigma 60mm prime. Sharp and accurate color reproduction. Best bang for the buck if you want both good stills and video. Compares very favorably with the RX10 I had for video and shoots better stills.

Great Camera!
Bought this camera for my wife. She loves it and is attending classes and really learning how to use it. I also bought the Sony A-Mount to E-Mount lens adapter so she could use my A-Mount lenses (the adapter is great) but that is for the future. Now, she's pretty busy learning the camera and using the a6000 book by David D. Busch. This camera has every feature we wanted except for GPS. The silver color is a nice change.

Powerful and compact
I bought the a6000 to take on a trip to Ireland, and didn't want to lug my SLR and heavy L lenses. I was thrilled with the results. The camera is so smart that I used P ( program) For 90%+ of my shots and got fantastic results. Occasionally I'd use the Auto HDR to punch up some bland landscapes, and it did the job without making the image cartoonish. My traveling companions were impressed by the results my pocket camera got. So was I. I'm sold on this incredible gadget.
