Product Reviews

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.

I am pleased with the camera so far. Bought it because of the view finder as the screen sometimes is not visible although this one tilts which helps

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.
