Product Reviews

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

Very easy to use. Beautiful pictures. You have as much control as you want. Lots of excellent lenses available too.

I purchased this camera about a month ago. I am a complete novice, but I have found the camera really easy to use. I have managed to also take some excellent pictures.

I bought the Sony A6000 a few days ago and already I am highly delighted with it. It is easy to use and gives excellent photographs.

Bought this camera after getting good reviews. I was really happy with it and took it on my honeymoon. Sadly a week into the honeymoon and 2-3 weeks of owning it i got a “camera error, turn off and on message”. From googling this and trying several troubleshooting ideas the camera is totally useless. Its getting returned. Poor show Sony

I have had my camera now for three weeks. Prior to purchase I carried out much research on what was the best camera for me and whittled it down to three (with the Sony A6000 being the favourite). After speaking to the lovely man in the camera shop he confirmed what I thought. It's a good size and weight for a beginner (I'm 5 ft 3.5 inches) plus there's so much information out there on this camera (one of the most popular mirrorless cameras I understand). Also if I want to upgrade, the lenses I choose to buy are interchangeable with other models. By all accounts its an easy camera to learn; it takes a bit of time as I'm a complete novice, but I'm determined to learn properly. The only slight niggle is that the screen is not a touch screen... but no matter.... as I said it's only a niggle. I love the fact that it still has a view finder which I use the majority of the time. Overall, very pleased with my purchase.

I bought this model because a shortage in 3.5 discs my Mavica used and it's the perfect camera for a shutterbug.

Very happy with the photos this camera takes. Great quality, a great beginner/intermediate camera. It was a bit frustrating trying to get my camera linked up to the mobile edge app. I’m not impressed with the app BUT the camera and lenses ae great. Very pleased and it’s easy to use. Plenty of tutorials online.

Always loved my A77 and was not sure that changing to mirror less was the right thing to I went for the A6000 as I knew it was a proven design and spectacular value for money. Could not be more pleased with it. I bought my first SLR in 1973 and I get as much pleasure from this new technology as I did all those years ago. This is my third Sony camera and easily the best.

Have had this camera for 5 years and still learning all I can about photography. Great features and fun factors that this camera offers.

Had this camera for 6 months now and for the money has been great. Would recommend if anyone is moving into photography from a smart phone

Personal upgrade from a5000 which was good but a6000 feels a different league. Sturdier, buttons in better places plus having a viewfinder helps so much.

Amazing camera. Can’t wait till I can afford more lenses.

I have only owned it for two weeks but can already see that it was a great purchase as the quality of the images is fantastic for such a compact camera. I will need to invest in an improved lens as a replacement for the 16-55 kit lense and I'm a little concerned about the prices of these more advanced lenses as I find them somewhat overpriced for my budget and this is a shame but the camera itself is exceptional

* The E Mount. I bought my a6000 as a partner to my a7r which I bought in 2009 as the shared E mount meant I could interchange lenses with few penalties. * The Sony APSC sensor. As manufacturer and supplier of the 24MP sensor to the camera industry Sony's a6000 is still the best entry to the popular APS-C camera system. * Photographers who already own a SLR or DSLR can often adapt their favourite lenses to mirrorless operation.

Excellent quality easy to use. Would recommend. Good guarantee

settings are bad lens that it comes with is wired and it just doesnt compare to canon

Super happy with my camera, highly recommended. Great

Great camera to learn about the art of photography as it has so many features.

I bought this camera about three days ago, and am new to photography so I didn't know much. The overall design of the menus made it easy to learn on, and also easy to understand. This camera was recommended to me by a friend, and I would easily recommend it to someone else. Takes sharp, clear, and awesome photos.

It's a great little camera backing a good punch, nice light balance but get a better lend

This camera has worked as expected, but the connect for Eyepiece Cup's is so weak that i've lost 2, and neither have lasted more than a couple weeks of light use before casually popping off. And at $8 a pop, that's kind of an expensive piece of plastic to keep replacing.

It is a really cool product. I love the apsc sensor and video quality. Definitely would recommend.

Had problems with last 3 Nikons, decided I wanted to try mirrorless, so picked Sony because of reputation. Had the A6000 for a couple of weeks, went out and bought a A6500 because I was so pleased.

Had this for a couple of weeks now and still using the kit lens, the camera has more options than I can cope with but will get on top of it soon. Lots of tips on the internet regarding settings, I have a couple of extra batteries as they seem to fade quickly. Fits nicely in my hands but I do find I bump some of the buttons and change the settings then it's head scratching time :-) have managed to update the software & install the latest Imaging Edge software, surprised myself and managed to connect over wifi with my phone, tablet and windows 10 computers. I was looking at older versions α5000, α5100 etc but this came up at a reasonable price, I am hoping the 'star eater' noise reduction can be switched off in this model, cannot understand why Sony would not make this option easier and available on all the mirrorless cameras, expect I will want to move to full size sensor one day and that will influence my decision.

Have had the camera for a while, really like it, took a while to get used to the menu/ features but once you do it is simple,good clear photos, size and weight is good, I do most of my photography when I am either out walking or cycling so weight is important to me.

I have never owned a proper camera before and I wanted something I could use to shoot images to do drawings/paintings. I worked with photographers decades ago while in the advertising business, but never really had any experience shooting myself, and therefore, I had a good understanding of the principles behind photography. After doing some research about which camera to buy, my sights became set on the Sony family of cameras and after considering my budget and experience, the a6000 seemed the best way to go. I only have this camera for 3 months now but it exceeded my expectations. Clarity of images, ease of use, and versatility are its plus factors. The only drawback at the moment is the time it takes to upload images to my computer. That's not a fault of the camera but rather the process with my mac and external drives. I wish it could be a bit easier. It's obvious that this camera can take me through my learning phases in photography and maybe around even after I decided to upgrade to another 6 series or even full-frame 7 or 9 series.
