Sony Alpha a6000 Mirrorless Digital Camera 24.3MP SLR Camera with 3.0-Inch LCD - Body Only (Silver)

The Sony a6000 is by far the best camera that you can get for your buck and a steal if you can get a decent deal like I did.The a6000 is the first proper camera I have purchased in my life. I had dabbled with photography here and there using cameras that were given to me by relatives, and certainly nothing fancy. When phones started having cameras that became my primary tool for taking photos and had always thought that a proper camera was an overkill in this day and age. Boy was I wrong.This camera is loaded with features and has everything that a beginner would want. It is a relatively affor

I've owned every Sony mirrorless camera since the Nex-5N. I've also owned every Sony A7 full frame mirrorless camera except for the A9. I'm currently shooing with the Sony A7riii professionally. The Sony A6000 was my first advanced semi-professional camera in the Sony mirrorless line and it was a game changer for me. I have since upgraded to the A6500 but in 2018 this is viable camera for those wanting to get into more serious photography and those who want a small compact travel camera that can change lenses. Many professionals also keep one of these as a backup for equipment failures. The A6

What was Sony thinking? This camera has just been released a little over a year ago and its price has dropped to a bargain level at $448 recently. When I saw this, I couldn't believe my eyes and immediately pushed the BUY button. I myself have already owned the entry level A3000 and that was another good bargain. But this with WIFI, NFC, best in class 24 megapixel sensor, and best in class frame rate? You 've gotta be kidding me. The list could go on and on and other reviewers have already mentioned some of its great features. So I 'm not going to repeat them here but focus on my perspective a

Let me start this review with some background of my photography experience. (Short story, I am an amateur, skip to “PROS” section)I bought a Nikon D40 and had it for several years before selling it in college and I was short on cash. Ever since then I’ve been relegated to my various cell phone cameras. I always had intentions of buying back into the hobbyist camera space at some point, and with an upcoming trip to Europe this summer, there was no time like the present to make a purchase.I had set a budget for myself that basically put my sights on the OM-D E-M10 and the Sony A6000, sans kit le

I bought two of these for Christmas. One for me and one for my wife. We are both photographers and we primarily shoot Nikon DSLR cameras but like Sony mirrorless cameras because they are light weight and are good backup cameras. Prior to this purchase we were using Sony NEX 5 cameras as our backup cameras but we weren't happy with the limited bracketing capabilities, i.e. 1/3 Fstop with only 3 shots in the bracket set. That essentially made the cameras worthless for HDR shooting when high dynamic scenes were involved. Another photographer friend bought one of these and sang its praises to me b

I have been waiting ever since the panasonic g1 came out several years ago to see how these mirrorless cameras would develop. I knew this had to be the future of photography. Initial reports made me hold off on buying one because there were just too many tradeoffs from a conventional dslr. Last year I finally decided to take the plunge and bought the entry level sony nex f3. The image quality was great. The downsides were with the focus. It was too slow and often slightly off. I also was not a fan of the menu system. I wished it had a few more manual controls or custom buttons. After my experi

As a former A5000 owner I greatly admired the added features of the A6000 such as a viewfinder and faster autofocus. I am sure others can easily enumerate the multiplicity of high end features that were built into this initial version of the A6000 series.It's compact, relatively lightweight, and when combined with the 18-135mm lens is a superb walk-around camera that takes beautiful pictures. I initally used it with the standard kit 16-50 mm and 55-210mm lens and while the quality of the pictures from the kit lens was okay, the sheer inconvenience of switching lens in mid-stream began to take

(1) The Sony A6000 has the WORST INSTRUCTION MANUAL of any camera I have ever bought. Other than telling the buyer rudimentary things such as how to insert the battery, put in a memory card, and set date and time (which are the same for all digital cameras), the A6000 Instruction Manual is 100 PERCENT USELESS. The 44-page Instruction Manual merely lists the numerous features of the camera, but GIVES NO INFORMATION ON HOW TO ACCESS THOSE FEATURES, and gives zero information on how to use them.I wasted 30 infuriating minutes trying to find 'Focus Peaking' and 'Focus Magnification' in the Menus o
