QuestionWhich camera would u guys recommend between sony a6000 and the canon EOS Rebel T6I price is $100.00 difference and I just want a camera for my family . Good quality pictures (kids) Thanks
Asked 9 years ago by Liz.
- Answer I would recommend the sony for multiple reasons. Its cheaper, mirrorless, has more capabilities, and is an all around better camera in my opinion. And you can get a lens adapter and put just about any lens, old or new, from any brand, on the sony a6000. I bought it amd couldnt be happier. Another tip: try to wait for someone to return one, so you get the open box discount, I got the option with the extra 55-210mm lens for the same price as the camera alone because of the open box discount.

QuestionHow's the battery life? Does a full charge last for a few hours at least? Curious if it is necessary to have or purchase a back-up battery right away.
Asked 9 years ago by Marian.

QuestionWhat lenses are compatible with this camera? I have a sigma lens could I use that with an adapter.
Asked 8 years ago by Naja.
- Answer Naja, it should work. Depending on what camera mount the lens was made for, you would need an adapter from that, to the camera. For example, if the lens is for a Canon EF mount, you would need an EF to NEX adapter. Almost any lens can be adapted to this camera. One issue is that if your lens is a modern auto focusing and image stabilized lens, the adapters are a bit expensive, $150 or more. If you have an old film lens, however, the adapters run $15-20. These would be completely manual of course.

QuestionDoes this camera have a trimming option? Can this camera trim or crop photos in camera without having to use computer software to crop the photos? I previously owned a Sony DSC-H1 and it was able to trim the photo in camera, can this camera do that?
Asked 9 years ago by Anonymous.
- Answer Hi! Yes. When this product detects and shoots faces, macro shooting subjects or subjects that are tracked by [Lock-on AF], the product automatically trims the image into an appropriate composition, and then saves it. Both the original and the trimmed images are saved. The trimmed image is recorded in the same size as the original image size. -Anthony

QuestionI will mainly be using this camera for my son's football games. Will the lenses provided be good enough for action shots, or do I need to by a specific lense for action? I have never owned a mirrorless camera but i am very interested in this one.
Asked 8 years ago by Atkrock.
- Answer The shutterspeed with this camera is incredibly faster which makes taking quick pictures a lot easier. The pictures are more accurate to what you're seeing through the viewfinder as well. The lenses are great and I think the big lense will do well, the packaging even includes a hood for it. The only factor that might make a difference in taking action photos is zooming in and out with the lense body. Even though it's like any other dslr where you turn the lense, it's a more graceful process which makes things feel slower. There is also an alternative toggle mechanism for zooming if you don't like the action of turning the lense. I recommend going into a store and playing with one to get a feel for it.

QuestionIs this camera good for video? If so, what's the length of time you're able to record a video?
Asked 9 years ago by Ella.
- Answer This camera can take decent video. If you are looking for a camera to mainly take video I would look at something else. This has no audio ports, so you will have to record the sound separately if you are trying to any kind of serious video work. I would take a look at the Panasonic G7. I own both the Sony a6000 and the Lumix g7. Both cameras are very good cameras for the price. I take stills with my Sony and video with my G7. But for video work I would seriously consider the Panasonic G7.

QuestionHello I'm trying to find a nice decent camera that takes better pics than my pixel 3 does. Recently I had the Olympus mark ii camera and while the detail was good the overall pic was better on my phone color wise. Anyone have any recommendations on this?
Asked 5 years ago by Kristin.
- Answer I bought this camera for my wife back in March. She has always been a Nikon DSLR camera user, and was afraid that the set up would be difficult to learn. However, after using it a couple of times she likes it much better than she ever did her Nikon cameras. With it being a mirrorless camera the colors are so much more vivid than your typical DSLR that uses a mirror system to reflect the image onto the SD card. Both my wife and I would recommend this camera to anyone that is interested in a decently priced mirrorless camera system.

QuestionHas anyone taken action and/or still photos of dogs with this camera? Were you pleased with photos?
Asked 7 years ago by dogowner.
- Answer Yes, I have taken action and still photos with our 2 dogs. Both indoor and outdoors. Action photos at the beach or indoor were awesome. Remember to use multi-burst mode. What is important is not only a camera, but the lens and photographer positioning. Depth of field is extremely important.
