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 A6000 went down in history in the Sony line as a legendary camera. Pros: Price. When I first purchased this, this was $800 with a 16-50mm kit and $650 for just the body. The price has come down a lot now to $500 for body and kit and $450 for just the body. In the used market you can find them for just a little over $300. This is an amazing deal for a camera of this caliber. When I purchased this camera, it used to be the top of the Sony mirrorless APS-C line. It was a replacement for the NEX 6/7. Nowadays there is a an A6300 and A6500 so it's become the low tier product. But at this price it's still viable as a entry-level camera. Size. There's very few cameras that are as compact as the A6000 that packs a punch. The A6000 with the kit 16-50mm lens is small enough to fit in purses and cargo pant pockets. It will also fit perfectly in compartments in backpacks and other bags. It is significantly smaller than most entry level DSLR cameras from Canon or Nikon. FAST. This camera shoots continuous bursts extremely quick. I normally shoot on continuous mode (hold shutter down) so not to miss a shot and pick out the best one later. With this camera I need to be wary of how long I hold it down for because after a few seconds I have 20+ photos in my camera that are all essentially the same. I've tried and I can't shoot less than 3 shots with one push of the shutter. If you shoot moving objects you can almost make a flip-book or stop motion movie with this. Amazing speed. Fast autofocus. The AF of this camera is PDAF and Contrast Detect. PDAF is much quicker and contrast detect is used for fine-grain adjustments. It's the same kind of AF system used in the A7 line of professional cameras. The AF is competent enough to track fast moving subjects well and should be more than capable for most people's needs. Lens Compatibility. Even though this is an older Sony E mount camera, it is fully compatible with the entire lineup of Sony E and FE mount lenses. This means you can attach a professional fast 1.8 or 1.4 lens for great low light photos and beautiful bokeh photos. Upgrading a lens is always more bang for buck than upgrading a body. Construction. Overall the camera seems well built and sturdy. It's not waterproof but good enough to handle everyday use. It would not handle serious drops however. Wireless. The wireless feature is an added bonus that most entry-level DSLRs don't have. Download the Sony Playmemories App and you can use your phone to wirelessly transfer files, use your phone as a remote, and as a secondary screen. Improvements in the Sony app has seen much better features and speed over the years. Apps. The apps on the camera are something mostly exclusive to Sony Mirrorless. They're a welcome addition. Some of the best ones are the remote shooting app, the touchless shutter, and numerous time lapse apps. Cons. LOW LIGHT. The main problem with this camera is the ISO quality has been superseded by its competitors due to the sensor's age. The photos become noisy at ISO 800 and above, which is a common ISO used in indoors situations. In low light you absolutely need some flash to fill in the light. Even in RAW shooting the low light, you'll deal with noisy photos. You can always correct some of it in post but the camera's age and limitations do show. The A6300 and A6500 are improvements in the ISO and image quality. The camera is still good for hobby and non-professional work but the A6000 is definitely not good enough for paid or professional work! Battery life. The battery life on all mirrorless cameras are still abysmal, the A6000 included. Sony has upgraded the battery capacity in the newest gen 3 A7 cameras however they have not made it over to the APSC line. The problem is, without a reflex mirror, whenever the camera is on, the sensor is on. The sensor not only takes the photos, it lets you "see" through the viewfinder or LCD. The consequence is the camera is constantly sucking juice when it's on. With regular SLRs, the sensor is only on when you shoot and a SLR will last you several days without charge with normal use. I always keep a spare battery and an external charger around. If you buy this camera (or any other mirrorless camera), I suggest you do the same. Lens compatibility. Even though this works with Sony lenses, unlike the A7 series, the A6000 is not great with many Canon to Sony mount adapters. The performance of non-Sony lenses were always a toss up even with the A7 series but as the A6000 is not a professional camera, most companies like Metabones and Sigma won't be updating their adapters to work well with this camera. If you have Canon or Sigma lenses, expect only partial support with the A6000. Overall this is a fantastic camera. In 2018, it is a bit dated by its competitors and newer versions from Sony. However its role has changed to an entry-level camera and your expectations should match as such. For the price, it is fantastic for a beginner who wants more serious higher quality photos than cell phone cameras. Additionally, professionals regularly use this camera for personal work, or as a backup camera since it can accept professional Sony lenses. Finally, the size is perfect as a travel camera.

Superb little camera! I've owned this for 2 months now and took this to on a 3 week trip around Japan and South Korea. I normally shoot a full frame Canon 6D with 4 lenses, but the thought of lugging all that heavy gear around Japan and Korea for 3 weeks was just too much. So I decided to go for a compact mirrorless. I picked the Sony a6000 based on 1) industry reviews and 2) competitive price point compared to Fuji mirrorless. I love: Size - so small compared to the massive full frame DSLRs. it fits in a large coat pocket. Weight - can hand around your neck no problem. In a backpack you barely notice its there. Auto Focus - lighting fast. Also great at tracking moving objects 11 frames per second - great fun if you're capturing sports or anything action. Control dials - I set on dial to aperture, another to shutter speed. ISO is located with one button. Image quality - look at my photos on this review. Yes. I've tweaked and played around with them in Lightroom but the sharpness and quality to begin with is there. (Shooting RAW, of course) I don't like: Battery Life - The battery drains even with the camera turned off. Battery seems to depend how long the camera is on for instead of how many frames are taken. However the easy solution is to buy the secondary battery and wall-socket charger. Speeds up the charging time and allows you to keep shooting with a new battery.I bought both at same time on amazon and was very glad I did so. Electronic Viewfinder - it's simply not the same as looking through the viewfinder on your DSLR. You can tell its computer generated and not looking down a mirror of a DSLR. At night or in low light conditions the you can see graininess in the viewfinder. Using the - LCD screen is also handy. However I like the way the camera senses when the camera is brought up to the eye and the LCD switches off and switches to the viewfinder. ISO Noise - you can start to see it at ISO 800. If you're using Adobe Lightroom/photoshop or equivalent this can be easily cleaned up. The kit lens is reasonably sharp. I'm sure with more the expensive E mount lenses it just gets better and better. Combine it with a pocket tripod and your all set for some stunning travel photography. I also think it is perfect for beginners to learn the craft in manual mode. Its also reasonably priced if you don't want to stretch out to top model DSLRs. Overall, for me, (an enthusiast photographer with some paid gigs under my belt), it's a perfect leisure and travel camera. It won't replace my DSLR. But its my "go to" camera if I'm just hanging out with friends or the subject matter does not require the expensive top end DSLR accompanied by the full arsenal of lenses. Read more

This camera is the real deal. With a good lens, the photos it produces are stunning! I heard the kit lens wasn't very good so I just ordered the body and then a few prime lenses. Overall, the camera is a speed demon. Burst speed, focus - just about every aspect of the camera is fast. It's also loaded with many options that are sure to please beginners, and the more advance photographers. Some people complain about the menu system, but I like it! I find it easier to navigate through over my Fujifilm. There are also many great third party accessories including hand-grips, metal cages and more! Read more

Pequena, configurable, para ser una cama basica muy bien que se comporta. El unico detalle que le veo es que el sensor del visor se auto engana con las sombras y produce que se apage la pantalla. fuera de eso, me ha encantado! Read more

Produto original, a qualidade é incrível!! O único problema é a durabilidade da bateria. Se for comprar para usar por longos períodos, recomendo comprar baterias extras, pois ela dura bem pouco. Outro ponto negativo é que se deixar a bateria na câmera quando guardar, ela vai zerar mesmo sem uso. De resto perfeito. Read more
