This is probably the best camera for its price. Use a good lens and you can't tell a difference between this camera's pictures and professional photos (on social media at least)! Sure, if you blow up these pictures to poster size or billboard size it can't compete with the $5000 camera/lenses, but for Social media/Friends/Family this will do perfectly! My Top 3 lens that I carry with me when I travel: 1. Sigma 16mm F/1.4 Amazing, best IQ. Great for landscape, astrophotography, low light, street photo and architecture. 2. Sony 35mm F/1.8 OSS My all fav versatile lens. This isn't as sharp as the Sigma, but it's pretty darn close. I use this for everything I don't use the Sigma and Sony 55-210mm for: indoors, low light, portraits, occasional street photography if the Sigma doesn't get what I want. It's small so sometimes I just throw it into my backpack and i'm good to go. 3. Sony 55-210mm OSS lens. This is the best telephoto lens for it's price. I can't afford the other telephoto lens in the 200-400mm range (at least $1200!). This is definitely not the greatest telephoto lens in terms of IQ. It does AF fast though. I use this for zoom only (mainly wildlife) or something interesting I need to zoom up close but can't physically get there. I use this lens the least, only for certain occasions where I can't reach the subject. There you have it, the big 3 combo for the a6000 that will literally get you any shot you need possible. I love how small and compact it is and it gives you excellent quality pics. For instance, if I am going to a restaurant for a special occasion with friends I would never bring a massive DSLR with me. However I don't mind bringing the a6000 with the Sony 35mm at all! It just looks like a point and shoot camera that provides professional quality images. Oh yeah, I don't use the kit lens 16-50mm at all since I don't feel like it takes that great of pictures (just okay). So my 5 stars for this product is the overall versatile use of the a6000 camera and not limited to just those two lenses that come with this package.

I recently returned to amateur photography. I searched for a digital camera that wasn't too large but could deliver high quality images. I selected the Sony a6000 and am very glad I did. This camera is small compared to other mirrorless cameras offering similar settings and options. It's light and fits my hand comfortably - exactly what I wanted. The extensive menu of selections and options puts the user in control. But, the camera can take great photos without the user knowing or selecting all the options. In fact, the more advanced options can be "left alone" to simplify using the camera. Initially the menus can appear overwhelming but it's relatively easy to learn the paths to the more common settings. I encourage referencing online resources; there are several excellent videos that saved me a ton of time. The 55-210 mm lens works great - just know it's not a $1500 lens. I have found it can take some very good photos and the a6000's digital zoom adds additional image magnification with good image quality. I won't go into all the specifications - there are many online sources for that. I will say the a6000 meets all my photography needs and then some; I'm still learning and improving my photography skills. In a nutshell: it's a great, affordable camera and a lot of fun to use. Enjoy.

I have always wanted a mirrorless camera when they first came out, but was hesitant about how these camera's perform because I have always used a Nikon DLSR knowing all to well that they perform at their best when used correctly. I finally bit the bullet and spent the $800.00 on this camera. I took it out on a photoshoot two days after I got it. It does very well. The telephoto lens is great as well. I could take multiple shots without losing a shot with continuous shutter speed unlike the DSLR. The pictures are sharp and defined. The thing, I love the most is the weight compared to lunging around a big DSLR. This camera will not replace my Nikon 7100. But I have come to realize that when I fly to a destination, this will definitely be my camera to take because it is light weight and not bulky and that it does fit in a smaller camera bag. The only thing I'm going to replace is the neck or shoulder strap. It is rough on the back of the neck and it doesn't come with a charger. You have to charge the battery in the camera. So I ordered me extra batteries that come with a charger on Amazon.

Great Camera, OK lenses. The camera took a little getting used too since I have full frame NIKON that is heavier then a brick, which I hated lugging around. This one is a feather weight and does what I want albeit the sensor is smaller then a full frame, the image quality is excellent. I'd buy it again, minus the kit lenses which I replaced the shorter zoom with Sony's Carl Zeiss, Varo-Tessar E 4/16-70 ZA OSS, which works with a full frame mirrorless camera E mount, with the added benefits of it being lightweight and does not need coverage out to the edge of the lens (smaller CCD then a full frame) thus the edge sharpness is very good.

I was so mad at how pictures from a recent once in a life-time outing turned out using my Fujifilm XP that I wanted a camera that could capture those moments in crisp detail. The Sony Alpha a6000 can do just that. It's compact and not heavy so I can take it just about anywhere. With the amazing quick focus I can capture everything in vivid detail. It's easy to use and now I'm brushing up on my photography skills to use all the camera's functions!
