Product Reviews

Amazing camera. Couldn't be happier with this camera.

Bought this camera, first of May of this year. Have also purchased some additional lenses. Love the camera and have decided to buy a 2nd one as a backup and a second camera when shooting a wedding and something similar.

I really like this camera. After some research it seemed that this would be great value for money. The picture quality is fabulous and the range of control you have is good enough for me as an amateur.

Loved Sony products. Having a laptop for 8 years and still using it! Now, Sony camera A6000. Great material amd features. recommended!

This camera is my first experience in interchangeable lenses. Before this I had a Nikon and Samsung Point and Shoot style cameras, both of which claimed great zoom and had a relatively high Mega Pixel ratings. They both would disappoint me constantly, I'd never get the image that I would see on the screen. And forget about anything that was moving, all I would get were blurs. The Sony A6000 blew me away, The picture you see on screen or through the viewfinder is truly what you get and then some. Its quick to turn on and capture a moment happening before you. It's burst shot stays on target and you'll be amazed at the detail in every photo. What drew me to this over the entry DSLR cameras was the compact size, decent price (about 150-200 more then I had spent on either point and shoot) and it had a higher mega pixel rating. I did not know then that the quality of the photo came more from the lenses you are using versus camera (mega pixel rating) and it has peaked my interest into learning more about the other options available for lenses and cameras. I'm not trying to knock other options as for whats available in mirrorless or DSLR but to those who have not made the choice to upgrade from point and shoot to an option similar to this or even this camera, you are missing out. It has surpassed my expectations and I'm happy that I bought this camera. I bring it everywhere now and have gone on to buy other lenses and equipment.

Had this for about 2 weeks. Amazing product. Easy to use and photo quality is excellent.

I'm a nikon Dslr shooter. I decided to buy my a6000 a couple of weeks back for my trip to Morocco and what a result. I cannot tell you how good this camera is because I have not fully use it yet but it's sharp, lightweight and handsome. X

great camera use it instead of my big DSLR light weight and got everything I need on it .

Just getting started, but used to have an analog SLR. I really wanted to try mirrorless, and heard that Sony is better than Canon/Nikon for mirrorless. Time will tell!

i bought this camara 6-13-17 i like this camara a 6000

Purchased this camera for my trip to Namibia and Botswana later this year. getting used to all the features and so far so good.

i purchased this camera 2 weeks ago and i have nothing but praise for it. the main reason i bought it was for street photography. on a trip to glencoe i used it more than my dslr. i have attached a few images so that you can see what i mean about the quality.

I travel mostly by motorcycle and needed a lightweight mirrorless camera with a cmos size sensor that shoots in RAW format as an alternative to my full frame DSLR. I am very pleased with this camera and the image quality. I will but several e mount lenses to compliment the very useful 16 - 50 kit lenso

I bought this camera after much time spent reviewing and was very disappointed when I found a fault which Sony could not resolve without returning for technical staff to mess around with it. I decided I had bought a new camera and didnt want a second hand item and returned to supplier and got full refund. I have now lost confidence in the camera and have decided to look for an alternative through another manufacturer. Very disappointed as other than issue looked a very good camera with very good reviews but when you pay that sort of money you also expect a first class product.

The Sony A6000 exceeds in all ways when you need to move from point and shoot and require a compact advanced mirrorless camera.

I bought this camera two weeks ago. It is replacing an old Fuji bridge camera I have had for about six years. So this more modern and sophisticated product was a big step forward for me. I am a complete novice with most technology. When I received my camera it had an​ accessories chart with lenses etc. This was a great help with choosing which lenses I needed, for example A mount, E mount, manual focus etc. There are tutorial videos on YouTube which have helped me a lot. So anyhow, I am very much in the learning stages with this camera, but I'm really enjoying doing so. A great camera for a great price.

Why the cautious title? Well, I bought this camera to replace my Sony NEX 6 - which I loved - but it developed a couple of faults not long after I had owned it 2 years. It was going to be too expensive to repair when compared with the cost of a new camera. I remain a little concerned about the longevity of my new camera, especially one of the components that failed in the previous camera: the slot which holds the sd card. Similarly, the hinged door which secures the battery and sd card compartment does seem a little less robust than it needs to be. However, having said all this, I thought that the NEX 6 was such a good performer that I bought the nearest new equivalent: the a6000. This camera really does punch above its weight, both physically and metaphorically! Improved menu system, lightning fast autofocus, easy-to-access controls, almost infinitely-variable flexibility to cope with all photo-shooting challenges and amazing images add up to one fantastic package. The proof of the pudding for me, however, will be in its longer term durability.

Got this for my birthday excellent build quality, so many good features

Bought as an grade to my original Sony @. Was looking to go for a Canon or Nikon but a suggestion in the shop was to try this. Now an older version but a bargain buy. Super camera especially for learning manual modes

Very camera impressive technically, although I've read a lot of criticism of the kit 16-50 lens, I am pleased with the results. On the negative side the viewfinder is not as good as a DSLR and the battery does not last that long

The a-6000 is probably a great camera. However, it is NOT a good model for moving up from basic digital cameras and photo editing software. A user-friendly "Quick Start" guide for both still pictures and videos would have allowed early success and been MOST appreciated. Even including the Y following the model number on the camera body or instruction manual-- to ease product registration-- would have spared some frustration. (It's on the box, if you're still looking.) Figuring out how to take and view pictures is easier and much more intuitive than videos. To be clear, taking videos is easy. Viewing and/or editing is another story, and the PMM software ridiculously complex. Understandably, there's a learning curve with new technology. However, manuals and videos tend to render most accessible even to novices. This one does not. Truly, this camera is designed for an intermediate photographer--regardless of alternate reviews. Effectively using the basic technologies of this camera has been a very frustrating process for this newbie--who has a doctorate and uses a wide variety of tech regularly. Although I have viewed more than 3 hours of tutorial videos and read the manual, I may need to return it since I still can't simply rotate the short video I took, and reviewing youtube learning videos to find the right one has become too time-consuming. I may even go back a digital recorder and my Nikon film camera, multiple lenses, and photo-editing software since I find point & shoot digitals and camera phones too limiting. #Marketinggap

this is my 1st proper camera (full manual controls), love it to bits, picture quality is brilliant even with 16-50 kit lens, learning photography is great with this camera especially because its easy to use once you learn the controls, definitely recommend to anyone starting out learning proper photography.

Waited a long time...A very pleased Keep up good work. Sony

Bought this with view to easy transfer of photos to smart phone/iPad etc. The offered system is a) extremely complicated and after many attempts fails. Registers ok with wifi in Access Point Set. Sticks at 'operate smart phone to connect this device to wifi. App on iphone 5c lists ILCE-6500 as the supported camera model: our (new two weeks ago) is ILCE-6000. Any relevant support appreciated

Very good photos at all light conditions. Also can be used by anyone.

Bought the camera a week ago so not had chance to put it to full test, but for the shots I have done so far, I'm very impressed. Produces beutiful, crisp images and is so fast at focusing that you don't miss anything, 11 frames a second with auto focus..... You can pretty much use it as a beginner point and shoot and progress to full on manual set up to produce pro quality images. I was also given access to sony training videos which were brilliant at describing various modes and settings. Would definitely recommend this camera, or any sony products......

This camera has excellent features and all easily accessible. There is no touch screen but I personally don't think it needs one. The fast shutter speed is quite remarkable and has proved itself to be an excellent feature. The lens range is not as large as other makes but is still more than enough to choose from, especially when you can use other manufacturers lenses with a converter. For me this replaced a fujifilm compact and has already shown that it has been more than I could have hoped for.

just purchased this camera but ask me in a year how i liked it.

I bought this to replace a broken DSLR. It has taken a bit of getting used to, but I am glad I made the switch. I now take my Sony wherever I want. Previously, taking the DSLR was more of a considered option.

Read a lot of good reviews about his camera, so decided to purchase. Top quality photos and ease of use in automatic mode with the choice to use with advanced photography. Also nice and compact. Excellent product.

Very quick auto focus makes shots of kids easy and spontaneous. Excellent low light door shots both still and video - very impressed. Panoramic shots excellent with wonderful fine detail - so good for slide shows in Mac photo - adds another dimension that is really useful.

Sony make good Products but in my opinion the apps and programs , absolutely terrible I am very disappointed frustrated about the way that the manner time that I spend trying to connect to Sony PlayStation memories even there PlayStation that with the whole thing is just absolutely terrible I spend more time uploading trying to upload and getting things to work properly with password after password it's just it is in flowthrough it's terrible really is I'm disgusted and they must try harder

I absolutely love this camera! It captures anything I want to take a picture of.

Great Camera, would recommend to any one for compact quality photo's

I really love the camera absolutely 1000% but am disappointed to find I have to pay for apps such as multiple exposure etc, especially when some of these features are in camera on cheaper dslr's . But the A6000 is ace

I was extremely impressed with the A5000, but having used if for about 12 months, I was really missing a viewfinder - I found I needed my glasses on to see the screen on the A5000 and in bright light it was very difficult to use. The A6000 is a big step up. Far superior auto focus and much better sensor. The only feature I now miss is the option to flip-up the screen for selfie's.

2 weeks in and its locked up solid cannot use /switch it on

Got this as a birthday gift currently using nikon d300 and d700 it came with the 16_50kit lens very pleased...can only expect better with faster lens

So far I love this camera super cool and easy to use

I bought this second-hand from a friend and I'm pleased with it. With an adaptor I can use some of my lenses from older 35mm slr's. Early days yet because of only limited use so far. I think it will serve me well!

I bought it 3 years ago not thinking it was gonna be and awesome camera till today

very good quality love to be able to take pictures and videos they look very real great quality

The photo quality is amazing. Easy to use. The camera is also very light so it's nice to take around to any event.

I bought this camera from a friend. I'm getting on great with it now that I have sorted out the menus. I have had to slow down a bit as I have found that the Optical Stabilisation (OSS) in the lens is only on two axis. This has turned out to be a good thing as I'm taking time to think more. I use the EVF a lot more that I have other cameras.

A replacement for my older and bulkier Sony DSC and what a replacement superb quality,design and the picture quality is great. Only negative is the lack of a good manual

I bought this camera a month ago at 08 March 2017. I had used this camera to take many photos. Honestly, this is an excellent camera with many features that very usefull in many condition. The drawback of this camera, the flash range is too short so it's rather difficult to get the maximum lighting when take photos in dark conditions. Although it can be overcome by increasing the ISO, but the result was less sharp. So for better quality to take photos in dark conditions, it need a speedlite flash. Overall, I'm very happy and satisfied with this camera.

I have been using DSLRs and compact cameras for more than a decade. With the a6000 I found a hybrid of both categories advantages. Compact size with detailed images. I never regret not having my DSLR with me. The two lenses you MUST have, are the sel 1670 and the sel1018.

I've bought it 2 years ago, I always take it when travelling, event... It's a good camera

Hi! My name is Kev and I am a young adult who has purchased a Sony Alpha mirrorless camera. For everyone's sake, I have divided up my review into a short, medium and long version. Short answer: It's fascinating Medium answer: If you've done your research and know Sony is for you, then be sure to do your homework on pricing. Believe me, the first three websites in a web search (including Sony's) aren't always guaranteed to have the best deals. Dig deep and you might just strike gold! Long (but meaningful) answer: The Sony Alpha 6000 has been chosen as my first pro grade digital camera. I'm pretty sure I don't have to explain how deciding on a first camera was a very overwhelming process. With countless styles, brand, models, and unique features, it felt impossible to choose. That is, until I got my hands on a Sony. After so much research, it was time to see some camera brands in action. Thanks to some very helpful people, I was able to try 4 different brands in one meeting. Each camera had its unique strengths and weaknesses but, the Sony brand had just the right blend of simplicity, complication, performance, and personalization. The a6000 is quite user friendly but also allows a challenge for those who seek to hone their skills. More importantly, it offered and excelled in the two styles I was looking for: night photography and portraiture. I haven't owned it for too long yet so I am still learning a lot as I go. I understand that Sony has produced a game changer in the world of cameras and lenses so I would hope there is a book or two that would help me learn and understand their products in layman's terms. I can say without a doubt I have no regrets in my decision and am looking forward to what Sony, this camera, and myself have to offer in the coming future!

I bought the a6000 for my wife but I used it as much as she did. We both enjoy the light weight, sharp images that the camera provides. I enjoyed her a6000 so much I replaced my Canon 7D with the a7II & 28-70/3.5-5.6 rig.

After taking the camera on holiday to Prague I got some great photo's.

I wanted a small compact DSLR with interchangeable lenses for street photography. This appear to have been a good choice and meets my requirements.

I bought this for when on holidays or hiking so I dont have to carry my DSLR. Its such a fantastic camera, the only thing I dont like is the menu system which is a bit fiddly but otherwise I love it!

with a little adjustment, the result is very good. And it is very easy to use

It had been two month to have a6000 mirrorless camera with sigma 30mm f1.8 lense. I am absolutely newbie about cameras and it is first camera I bought. All I want to say about this product is just perfect for me. Sadly, I lost my camera a weeks ago from las vegas trip, so the pictures I uploaded are taken within a month and under 1100 shutcount. I could satisfy with the picture quality for sure, and so happy to get this camera. Therefore, I'm planning to buy again this camera with basic lense (.....................). I expect quality of basic lense, so I hope do not buy extra lense..haha

Hand book provided is rubbish I had to buy a third party handbook to make any sense of the camera
