Product Reviews

I’ve not had the camera long but have already decided that it’s a complete replacement for my old DLSR. Very fully featured and handles well, takes very high quality pictures.

a6000 best cheap mirrorless camera. I bought this camera 2nd hand. i was looking for a light weight, good in the dark sport type camera on a budget. the 11 fps beats the rivals. And on using at a wrestling event where light is not good and getting some really nice images. would put some up but files are just over 10 mb each. i have to say the main downside is battery life. but note all mirrorless cameras are the same so just carry more batteries. this camera came out in 2014 and it still I think beats the 2017 canon m6 for some features and the fps. for the price even new for beginners it is a very good camera.

After a few months of research I decided to buy the A6000. Can tell you it is worth every penny. Amazing pictures, handles low light like a champ and it is so easy to carry around. Unless you want to make a living of photography (and look at the A7i), I would not look anywhere else.

This is my first camera purchase (not including my iphone) so im a newbie to the whole world of photography. The first week or so was pretty frustrating since I had no idea what I was doing. My first instinct was to blame the camera. Of course, after I did an intensive amount of reading, I figured it out and now I'm in love! It is the perfect starter camera. I don't know how someone who has more experience would feel with it but I have the starter kit and it is great for my purposes (travel photography mostly).

Camera is excellent I'll give it that but none of the apps download nor the transfer of apps from the online site to the camera. The sweep panorama feature crashes every single time I use it too, something that seems a common issue based upon online reviews.

Both this a few weeks ago. Photos have been great. Great Colour, Dynamic Range and low noise at high ISO.

I purchased the A6000 about a month ago. The camera takes great pictures, but The viewfinder is dark on sunny days and is difficult to use when wearing glasses. If you adjust the brightness shortens the battery life. The battery drain is the worst of any camera I have ever owned. At 100% charge with the camera off it drains 6 to 8% of its charge in 24 hours.

I bought this camera yesterday. I really like it. I have been using Sony devices and it never failed to impress me.

Coupled a6000 with standard F 1.8 35 mm lens and test shots in RAW are superb. cropped one pic to a very small area and the detail is stunning. Money well spent.

As a complete novice to digital photography with manual settings I have found this camera fairly easy to use. There are some more affordable lense available to get you started with a decent range of lenses. Doesn’t come with any kind of case which was disappointing.

It is still ealy days but the camers has proved to be a solid performer both with standard lenses as well as with legacy Zeiss glass. Auto focusing is good, manual surprisingly easy. Just only slightly on the brighter side, a third to half a stop underexposed works better with both Sony/Zeiss as wella s legacy Zeiss lenses.

A nice compact camera that is easy to handle, but it takes a bit of time to set it up to ensure that you don't always get grainy of fuzzy pictures

Bought this camera after looking at reviews online and trying it out instore. Well made camera with plenty to offer and being mirrorless is nice and light and easy to hold. Lots of options on camera and this is my first step into photography with a proper camera and feel as a novice it is easy to use straight out the box.

I wanted a small bodied camera with SLR type capability and so bought the Sony A6000 due to its affordable price. I have now had it for a couple of weeks and found it easy to use from the beginning. In normal lighting conditions, the images are very good with the kit zoom lens supplied and in dark street lit conditions the results are noticeably better than my Sony HX90V (compact travel zoom camera) due to the lower noise level in the low light images. This is despite the HX90V being an excellent camera in its own right. I particularly like the electronic viewfinder, I find it very clear and better than some reviews had suggested and use it all the time.. Overall, this is an excellent camera for the price and I am now considering buying a prime lens to fully exploit the image quality that the sensor is no doubt capable of. Battery life could be better but for me, it has proved to be adequate.

I bought this camera about 1.5 months ago and the pictures are incredible. Mind you I am using the standard lens of 16-50 , and cant wait till I can get more lenses to do more photos.

Already have other models so this one didn't disappoint. 24mp resolution is as high enough and the camera is nice and light so I can carry two or three with different lenses quite easily. Sony colours are pleasing too. This is a very impressive camera.

Happy. With. Product Especially. The. Weight. And. Easy. To. Use

Had this camera a few weeks and happy so far, but feels like the is still a lot to learn about it. I have been pleasantly surprised by the amount of on line training videos and tips and guidance on the Sony website, less impressed with the fact that there doesn't seem to be a comprehensive user guide for the camera, either on line or in book form - not ideal when you quickly want to understand a particular function.

upgraded to this after having a CEX for a long time, so it was an easy swap. Loving having the viewfinder, the dioptre adjuster is great for when I have my glasses and don't have them. So much easier than carrying a big SLR around. The sports mode fills up your SD card fast - at least I caught the action!

Like being able to change lenses and being compact

I have replaced my dslr with this fantastic all features compact. I love the feel of it, sturdy, solid and easy to navigate. The menu is very intuitive and the electronic viewfinder is a joy (something I wasn't looking forward to after using my dslr) what I particularly like is the live histogram - you can actually see the result of a slower or faster speed or smaller and larger aperture before you take the picture. I love my new camera and it's now a joy to take it everywhere I go

This is a great Camera for anyone stepping in too slr cameras. This is my first one I love it, it came with one lens which is great. Do read the online maunal it can help you learn about the camera very fast. It takes great photos.

Covers all I do. Great on close ups, priced well..

bought for a holiday camera instead of carrying my SLR and is very good for that purpose, small but with what I need

Just had a couple of weeks but love it.nice and light.Just like a DSLR but smaller and lighter.great clear shots and easy to use.

this camera is small light and so good equal to slr standards.

The initial attraction, was the versatility of the camera, and the size of sensor. My aim is to use it for "Street Photography". My only regret is, that the camera is not, as yet, weather proof.

GOOD, GREAT, ADVANCE FEATURE. EASY TO OPERATE. GOOD PRICES

An excellent little camera bought this as taking my Canon away on holiday was a little to bulky. The images it produces are high quality and I'm very pleased.Its lightweight and has an array of interchangeable lenses available.

Bought this as I already ha e a Nikon DSLR but wanted something light to carry round every day but same sort of quality results. This fits the bill and I am happy with it. Will get a prime lens for it when I have the money.

I bought this camera 18 months ago because I wanted an interchangeable camera system that would provide most of the features of a DSLR in a small, lightweight package and this does the job admirably.

I bought it one year ago. I love the design and feature. it's light and easy to use.

very pleased with camera good images taken easy Instructions

A shop allowed me to take test shots with a number of cameras in the same price bracket. This had the best image quality by far. Sharper with greater colour saturation. This was not going to be my first choice, until I saw the results. Easy to use straight out of the box - with other features I'm still exploring.

its light ,small and you can Carrie any place and also good focus

I suffer from mobility issues and was looking for a lighter, more compact alternative to my a58. Having looked at reviews for a number of cameras I opted for the a6000 and so far I have been very impressed. Although the camera is smaller than a DSLR, the handgrip makes it comfortable to use; I had tested a number of CSCs and couldn't find one that was comfortable in the hand. Although I am still getting used to the camera and its functionality, I have found it easy to use, and like the amount of customisation that is available. I am satisfied with the quality of the pictures I have taken so far and this will improve as I become more accustomed to using my a6000 I am sure. I have also invested in the LA-EA3 adapter which enables me to use my A mount SAM lenses with the a6000. Although this does extend the auto focus delay I am finding this not too much of an inconvenience.

I bough the a6000 after reading the reviews on the net, It is backed with great features and with the APS sensor you cannot go wrong.

I purchased this camera in June after walking into my local photography store knowing that I was going to buy a Nikon dslr. I knew exactly which model I was going to buy until I was introduced to the Sony a6000. Everything about this camera is awesome!! I have used this camera at home for portraits, and also for 2 months in lake garda northern Italy where I've done street photography, landscape, macro and portraits with stunning images. If I could afford it I would ultimately have brought the a9 but that would have caused a divorce! If you primarily use video then I would suggest the a63000 as this has 4K but for stills at the price for the a6000 I don't think it can be beaten. If you buy additional lenses I would recommend buying full frame because after using this camera you will definitely upgrade to a full frame Sony in the future. Thanks Sony for a world class product at an affordable price for the normal people.

I bought the camera 3 weeks ago and have enjoyed using it, it as provided good quality photos.

I moved up from a Sony Bridge camera to this bad boy as I wanted to improve my photographic skills. My bridge camera is superb but not until you get one of these do you realise just how much you get what you pay for. This in no way demeans the quality of my bridge camera (I have taken some quite superb photos on it and it will remain a valuable camera for me) but this is different class.

After spending a lot of time backing canon and canon dslrs I thought it would be time to give my wrists a break and try a lightweight (one third of the weight of my canon dslr) WOW! The buttons are placed perfectly, the settings are easy and intuitive to adjust, the video recording superb, the on board flash better than my very expensive one, the sharpness, colour and clarity of the images, the speed of the camera is incredible, depending on the lens it can fit in a normal bag and go everywhere with you rather than needing a huge backpack.... there is nothing this camera cannot achieve. This is by far the best money I have ever spent and there is not a thing I would change about it, I cannot recommend it more!!!

Usually shoot with Nikon DSLRs. Wanted something I would have with me more often due to size and flexibility, without losing image quality. This fits the bill perfect and not sure how often I'll drag out the bigger DSLRs anymore!

I bought this a few weeks back to upgrade from my A5000,which is a great camera! This was a great move because the viewfinder and extra features are a big bonus. Being able to set the camera up to back focus is very useful and something I miss from using a DSLR.

I've now had the camera for 4 weeks and I am very impressed with it great pictures and videos still finding out about the different functions but that's the good thing the learning

Was after a DSLR and was all set to buy one when my friend recommended looking at the Sony A6000 and boy oh boy am I glad he did. after checking out a few videos on youtube I knew this was the camera for me. I really can`t recommend this camera enough so go buy one now!

Couldn't get Camera to send via Wifi photos to IPad and had to buy an item to transfer photos

I have bought a 2nd Sony A6000 because it is such an excellent product. My son will probably end up with one of them.

The camera takes great pictures! But the zoom motor of the kit lens makes noise when zooming.

This system is still new to me, the photos I have taken so far have turned out very well but I am still on a learning curve, I wanted a camera that gave me good detail from my photos so far all is well.

Still trying to work this out How can I transfer pictures using wifi to my android icloud

Pros: Great pictures. Rock solid focus in videos with moving subjects and changing zoom. No need for touchscreen. Cons: Software always refusing your orders for pedantic reasons, e.g: no digital zoom in manual, no spot focus in point-and-shoot, lots of things disabled with raw+jpeg. These limitations are mostly unnecessary and by the time you've worked around them you've missed your shot. Extremely limited range of lenses. Faffing with a lens cap is a time waster in a camera that specialises in speed. Embarrassingly loud shutter.

The new technology of this camera is easy to understand and use.

I bought this camera as I already had one which is terrific. It replaces my NEX6. Love sony cameras, but hey could produce a better range of lenses.

I'm so happy. This is amazing cemera for me i'm just biginner so. Everything great.

Lovely pictures great camera looking forward to plenty of adventures with it!

This is the best camera for beginner/intermediate level photographer. The reason I chose this camera over DLSR is just because of portability. It's so lightweight and easy to carry than DSLR. I like the features and quality of picture too. I must recommend a6000.

This the best Compact System Camera I have owned, it is packed with lots of enthusiast features with great image quality. The electronic viewfinder is a real boon in sunny conditions as rear screens are notoriously hard to see in very bright weather. The camera makes a great travel companion as it is lightweight and quite small.
