Sony Alpha a6000 Mirrorless Digital Camera with 16-50mm Lens (Graphite)

This degree of performance not only puts the A6000 ahead of most mirrorless cameras at any price point, but also beyond what you can expect from a DSLR in the same category. Nikon and Canon may also offer effective continuous AF, but you'll need to compose with their viewfinders alone, concentrate...

• +

  Very high resolution 24 Megapixel sensor., Most effective continuous AF in its class., Fast continuous shooting at 11fps., Fast single AF., Good viewfinder and tilting screen., 1080p video with full manual control., Built-in Wifi with NFC and downloadable apps., Broad degree of customisation.

• -

  Laborious process to set single AF area position., No touchscreen. Screen only tilts, not fully articulated., No GPS tagging built-into Wifi app., Apps sometimes feel like reinstating features., No 3.5mm microphone jack., No leveling gauge., No miniature effect for movies., No silent shutter option.

Despite small annoyances, the Sony Alpha 6000 is a great overall camera for more advanced photographers who want something smaller than a dSLR, especially if they need the continuous- shooting speed.

• +

  The Sony Alpha 6000 has seriously fast continuous shooting for the money, and its design improves upon its predecessor's already excellent one. Plus it's got an extensive feature set.

• -

  The movie record button remains annoying, and while it delivers excellent photo quality, it's not best-in-class in low light. It's also slow on startup.

The Sony Alpha 6000 focuses instantly and shoots at 11.1fps. Its image quality matches its speed, making it our Editors' Choice.

• +

  Incredibly fast autofocus. 11.1fps burst shooting with tracking focus. Amazing high ISO image quality. Sharp OLED EVF. Tilting rear display. In-body flash and multi-function hot shoe. Wi-Fi with NFC. Downloadable camera apps. 1080p60 video capture.

• -

  Overly sensitive eye sensor. Slow start up. EVF lags in very dim light. Lacks analog mic input. Some apps must be purchased.

This shouldn’t come as a surprise: We gave the NEX-6 an Editor’s Choice, and with higher resolution, faster burst mode, and improved AF and menu system the A6000 gets one too. A touchscreen LCD really would’ve made the package even better, as would relocating the video record button, but we can’t...

The a6000 brings Sony's latest interface improvements and enhanced JPEG processing to a well-featured, competitively-priced mid-range camera. Its stand-out features are its comprehensive video controls and continuous autofocus performance unprecedented at this price.

  24 megapixel APS-C sensor is one of the best in its class, Small body with generally well placed controls, Very fast continuous shooting, Class-leading continuous autofocus, Excellent level of control over video (including manual exposure), High quality, responsive viewfinder, Electronic...

  Flash exposures often misjudged, No In-camera Raw conversion option, Noise reduction can be a bit heavy-handed, No touchscreen, No electronic level gauge, Battery life feels low (though provided charge percentage info helps judge remaining life), Specifying an autofocus point can be cumbersome, Lens...

After using the Sony A6000 for a few months on two separate occasions, I can honestly say that it is one of the most capable and versatile mirrorless cameras on the market. With its compact and lightweight camera body, comfortable grip, fast and accurate hybrid autofocus system, bright and...

With unusual cameras like the A7 and A7R, Sony’s A6000 ran the risk of being overshadowed. Elevated from the NEX range to sit alongside Sony’s full DSLRs with the Alpha prefix, the A6000 builds on the NEX-6 with a new 24.3-megapixel sensor and a flashy autofocus system the company claims is a...

There are more powerful mirrorless cameras on the market, but if you're looking to spend less than $1,000 including a lens, Sony's Alpha 6000 is a solid pick.

• +

  Incredibly fast autofocus, Excellent image quality, Beginner-friendly interface, Integrated WiFiand EVF, Solid battery life

• -

  No microphone input jack

As the mirrorless, interchangeable-lens camera market continues to grow, it’s more difficult to make a decision about which camera to purchase. Other new mirrorless models, such as the Olympus OM-D E-M10 ($799 with lens) and the Samsung NX30 ($1,000 with lens), also offer solid feature sets and...

• +

  Fast continuous shooting and autofocus; Compact body; Multiple custom control options; Above-average image quality; Excellent low-light performance

• -

  Vast array of camera settings may be overwhelming; Noise reduction can be excessive; Clunky adjustment of focus point selection

Recent years have seen some very cool Sony cameras: the first full-frame compact camera, the RX1, as well as the first full-frame interchangeable-lens compacts, the a7 and a7R. In the midst of all that full-frame hoopla, the APS-C-format NEX-6 debuted to relatively minor fanfare, although its fans...

Great product, easy to use and offers very good image quality. Most DSLR users will want one of these eventually. Why because its easy to get on with your work, mimics many much more expensive cameras on the market today.

  wish it were little less money for lenses

You get more than what you pay for. The Sony Alpha a6000 is simply an awesome camera. When you compare it to other cameras both DSLR and Mirrorless in its class, this camera outshines them all. Stills are sharp and the colors are good.

The camera is not user friendly for a beginner, but it gave me something to learn. You will find quickly that a 50mm lens that it comes with is not very functional in a lot of areas, but it was well worth the price.

• +

  The quaity of the resolution is unmatched.

• -

  No digital zoom.

This is a good camera for the investment. The mirrorless technology is a benefit for travel compared to my large backpack with multiple cameras and lens combinations.<br />Great starter set and general purpose camera for a range of usees.

  Easy to Use, Small / Compact

  Lag / Shutter Delay

After a little practice you will be a pro at the settings on this camera. Takes great pictures and videos and for those who like to use manual mode, it has that too!

• +

  Lightweight. Comes with all you need to get up and running as soon as you get your package!

• -

  Hmm. None.

I did lot of research before buying this camera. I have used couple of other DSLRs before buying this. I was really happy that I have chosen this the picture quality I am getting out of this really awesome especially the color tones are very natural.

• +

  Light weight and compact with good image quality and fast focus which helps to carry with you wherever you go.

• -

  Not weather shielded which we cannot ask for this price.

Love it so far. I have never used a mirrorless camera before so am in the learning process now. Don't get much info with the camera so you have to rely on someone who is camera savvy or the internet. I did purchase a "how to" book that is very good.

Very authentic, fast.
