Product Reviews

It’s a great little camera that produces really good photos. The menu’s are a little daunting and might be to many but only having had it for a couple of weeks I’m sure that I will get the hang of them.

I bought the camera for its body features knowing I will probably have to replace the 16-50 lens. Went to look for the 16-70 ZEISS Tessar lens assuming it would have a much better sharpness as the 16-50. Disappointment, the tests at the internet indicate only a marginal improvement in sharpness. Will stay for the moment with the 16-50 lens

This was one of the best cameras I have used in my life, I been using it over 4 years, I am saving to upgrade to the A7.

Fantastic small compact that packs a punch through a great lens giving high quality images very pleased as a newbie

Camera is great and easy to use. Support from Sony for downloading camera apps is not good.

I have had this camera for a year. Takes nice pictures but you have to be a rocket scientist to get pictures onto your pc. I had an Olympia for years, beautiful picture taking, i would plug usb into my computer and pictures were available.I switched to the SOny because i wanted to be able to use different lenses. Sony I spend hours and to no avail cannot get my pictures. Tried wireless and usb ... Nothing. There support is not available on weekends , unlike most companies that at least have a 24 hour chat room. I work all week and weekends is when i have time to use camera. Really frustrating. I am going to dump this camera and go to a different brand. A brand where i can spend my time using the camera and not figuring out how to get my pictures to a pc/laptop where i can view. The play memories home software is useless. I've been able to get one group of pictures downloaded.

I bought this for my daughter trying to avoid the usual camera brands, and I'm so pleased I did. It is a beautifully built camera, very nicely weighted and the finish is exceptional. Comes loaded with all the usual features and takes great pictures. The auto focus is like lightning and so far pin sharp every shot. So good I'm looking at another for myself. Would definitely recommend.

This camera has great built-in automatic modes, and even great manual controls that helps new photographers to learn how to take wonderful photos. It is very easy to use, intuitive and very adaptable. The proccesor does a great job, especially for focusing a subject or a scene. The camera just let you express yourself and the various lenses that can match it is also a bonus for someone who wants to grow their photography skills.

After only 12 months the camera stopped functioning properly. After not using it for a few hours I would take a photo which would be overexposed and there was a error message on the LCD screen "camera error. Please turn off and then on " Sony were not interested in sorting it out, fortunately Amazon took the camera back. This seems to be common problem on the A6000 and something that one would not expect on a product that's been on the market for over 6 years

This is the perfect camera for taking pictures of family and pets. It has almost everything one can wish for, and is handy to bring along.

The camera is robust and well made, but glad of the case that came with it for the extra protection. It's laden with menus and features, which is both a positive and slight negative, finding the menu needed is not always easy, e.g. the camera turns off during recording and then immediately turns on and continues for no apparent reason leaving a miniscule break in filming. Really annoying, but can I find the menu/setting required to stop this amongst the plethora of options......not yet ?!

I am really enjoying the camera itself. But downloading the photos to my phone has been a real pain. I can't download RAW files straight to my phone in the app. The app is pretty glitchy and old and the user interface is ancient and severely needs an upgrade. Connecting the camera to a laptop to get upgrades to the smart remote was such a pain too!

I’m new to Sony camera . Just started to use it recently. The white is beautiful Can’t wait to explore more functionality

Haven't used the camera enough to critique its features. Much of the downloadable software available for users (i.e., PlayMemories Home) is not supported for use on MAC OS 11+. Not even sure if the so-called wireless capabilities advertised as available for the camera will work on my MAC. So far, no. But I am still trying. As noted on Sony's website The download service for the Mac version of PlayMemories Home was scheduled to be terminated on March 31, 2020. However, the period has been extended, and downloads are still available. The download service for the Mac version of Action Cam Movie Creator was scheduled to be terminated on March 31, 2020. However, the period has been extended, and downloads are still available.

A perfect camera, light with great features and easy to use

I was looking for a camera to start my journey in the field of photography and they recommended the alpha 6000. I must say that the choice was perfect, unbeatable quality / price ratio for an absolute guarantee brand! later I will also take some goals, as soon as I have some experience!

So happy I purchased this camera. I have been using a DSLR,extra lenses etc for a number of years and trundled around with the extra weight.No more!!! This camera will be used more after lockdown. Can't wait for my holidays

I bought this a month ago anc i am satisfied with the quality of photos taken with 30 and 56 mm objectives

Amazing camera I’ve been using the kit lens and the 55-210 and it produces lovely images

I bought this camera especially for photographing antique objects in natural e artificial light. I needed an machine easy and precise, light and reliable work tool. Before buying I read a lot of positive reviews and finally convinced myself. And I was satisfied.

I bought my camera a few weeks ago. I find it easy to use and try the various features as I am a beginner. Finally, I like that it is compact and easy to carry.

Better than Canon. I switched to Sony and will never look back. So many features and right out of the box I get excellent pictures. The more I learn, the more features I realize this camera has. Best camera out there.

I bought this camera on 1/19, used it for 3 weeks, took about 25 pics and now the lens does not work. The camera screen reads: "annot recognize lens, attach it properly" even though it has never been removed and it is attached.

Like camera and attachments Hate reviews that go on an on

Early days but so far delighted with the quality of photos and ease of use.

Great camera. Unfortunately the software to link to tv etc is very difficult to use

Going to take a little bit of time learning the differences from DSLR to mirrorless but I can already see the advantages. Also the smaller body size is ideal and so much better than my old kit for portability and general use. Can't wait to purchase further lenses to explore the camera's full potential.

This kit is brilliant. I'm only a hobbyist but I love the functions of this camera. Wish I could get lenses at a cheaper price though....that's the only downside

I bought this a number of years ago and couldnt get the wifi to connect, reurected and started to use, updated firmware and still casnt connect to the phone, cant purchase the apps either. \\just not user friendly with no instructions on how to sort out

For a camera as small as this the picture quality is not bad. The kit lens supplied is probably on par with other manufacturers kit lenses. Not quite up to the standard of Canon but better than Nikon.

Love the lens options and size. Fits in a glove box so I don't have to worry about others wanting my camera. I've had the camera since 2015

It is a perfect choice, you will not be disappointed in it!

Brought a6000 after hurting my back, lite and easy to use

Compact and plenty of features picture quality is great ideal for carting about in your pocket

Light and versatile - great quality lens and choice of lenses. Memery recall feature looks excellent but quite a learning curve to get the best from it.

Used it to take some pictures of fireworks, works really well!

Recently bought this A6000 after deciding to go mirrorless following a few years using Nikon DSLR. I am really impressed with this little camera (so much lighter than a full-size DSLR) and it is such a pleasure to use with a great easy understood menu. It also delivers great images.

Bought this as my first camera, it is compact and has user friendly navigation. I managed to get the hang of it in a day or two, the versatility has helped me understand more about photography and the large sensor size will allow me to expand my lens collection. This camera will grow with me essentially.

I bought mine as a mint used example from an online Camera store. After a brief period getting used to the controls it is now my prime camera (over my other brand new cameras). Its so easy to use, the menu system is logical, the pictures are sharp and colourful. The autofocus is quick and precise. Downloading the pictures to my smartphone is easy and very quick. Overall very impressed and will upgrade to a newer model when finances allow.

I've has this camera for a year and a half. It's been fun learning how to use it. It's a pretty solid camera. The focus could be a little quicker with the lens that it comes with. Recently, the camera struggles to focus--it stays in a constant state of re/focus before it settles down. Overall, I'd make the purchase again, but I'd consider that it may require extra maintenance.

super little camera after three years i have now upgraded to the a6600.

A big step up from the NEX 5N in functionality. After some study, the controls are comprehensive and make sense.

I brought this camera two days ago and I'm amazed by it!

This is a great camera and I recommend it for anyone that is looking for a quality mirrorless camera at a reasonable price.

I wanted to upgrade from the NEX-5r whilst retaining my existing set of E-mount lenses. The one major downside with the earlier NEX-5r was the absence of a viewfinder - one was relying solely on the LCD screen for picture composition, which was difficult in bright sunshine. The a6000 has overcome this problem

I like this camera. Despite it's relatively small size it handles well. and the results with the short standard zoom are excellent. It's a camera which will satisfy the needs of most people being just as simple or as complicated as required. Finally Iwill mention the cost; at this price it:s a gift.

At under £500, it really is unbeatable, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it to both beginners and more advanced photographers looking for an affordable compact camera with great performance.

I purchased a Sony a6000 mirror less camera about a month ago - the day before taking my great nieces to the zoo. I was tired of using my phone as my camera. I set the camera to automatic and used an included zoom lens. The pictures came out amazing!! I was able to capture an elephant spraying water on itself in clear detail. I was able to enlarge photos of giraffes, zebras, lions and the elephants. The camera was easy to set up and use (there are lots of great videos on “YouTube”). As long as you can hold a camera, you can get excellent photos.

I have been a photographer for over 45 years, and now retired. The Sony A6000 is one of the best cameras that I have used over the years. The camera handles itself very well in all situations, and is very versatile.

used for around a month now and enjoying using this camera. Very easy to set up and the controls are where they should be, making adjustments quick and simple, without taking your eye off the subject. Results are second to none, even using the standard kit lens. Sharp, clear images that look fantastic on a big screen. Very compact and easy to carry, although this won't last when you start buying lenses. Its a doddle to transfer jpeg images to a smartphone or computer, and also allows viewing on a TV. The only negative point that comes to mind is the battery life! If you like to view your snaps while shooting, battery life is poor, but they are cheap enough to carry a few, and if you are upgraoding from an older Sony, the batteries may be compatable1. (Mine were).

I've hat this camera for a couple weeks and have spent months getting into dslr's with the Nikon D60 and the Canon Rebel T7. This Camera blows them out of the water. The features and range of adjustment on the α6000 are impressive to say the least. So far I don't know that I've taken a bad photo and I primarily use this camera in manual mode. The color this beautiful piece of equipment captures is surreal. One of my only complaints is sometimes the Auto focus continuous mode gets a little goofy trying to focus in lower light. Tried to add a photo I took with this but it was too large to upload...

I bought my camera about 6 months ago, I’m in no way a professional photographer but this camera really does make me feel like one, great lenses!! I love about every picture I take, I’m just in love with it. I definitely recommend you buy it, great camera.

Only had the camera a couple of weeks and I'm more than pleased with it. I moved to this camera from two Sony DSLr's. I'm so glad I made the change. Much more compact and easy to carry around. Image quality is superb. It has rekindled my interest in photography.....!

I’ve had it almost a year and no problems excellent picture quality

I havenot used it yet due to bad weather haven't got a tablet so I am going to ask a friend how to use it

Have'nt used this camera much yet but initial impressions are very good. i'm sure i will like it very much when i get more used to it

I have two 6000 cameras and they have been great for me. The camera has been very dependable and with the fast focus it help in shooting wildlife. The weight of the 6000, and other features is what help to purchase these. For most photographers advanced or beginners, I can recommend the 6000 camera My only issue is that it is limited on the lens than can be attached. However, the 55 to210 is a very good lens; however, there are times when shooting wildlife the ability to attach a longer lens would be great.

I used this same camera at a previous job and I was amazed how it could do everything from clear photography to night photography and crisp video that I was able to use for commercials! Easy to use and very smart!

Good solid little camera - and was able to purchase at a good price - Not an expert but able to use camera for trial stills and videos all worked well - But not able to set up Wifi to my Apple iPhone not able to find this set up on Sony sight or on You tube
