QuestionDoes the a6000 in black come with an adapter?In the overview for the black model, an adapter is not listed under "What's Included." However, for the white and silver models, an adapter is listed. I purchased the black model but want to make sure that it comes with a charger. Thank you.
Asked 10 years ago by GC.
- Answer I believe it did, but it just uses a standard Micro USB port to charge, so you can use virtually any cell phone charger in recent history to charge it. I use a wide variety of cell phone chargers, literally whatever is handy, to charge my a6000 (I had the black kit as well).

QuestionWhat does mirrorless mean in reference to cameras?
Asked 6 years ago by Anonymous.
- Answer It is a digital camera that accepts different lenses. Also called a "mirrorless interchangeable-lens camera" (MILC), "hybrid camera" and "compact system camera" (CSC), the body is thinner than a digital SLR (DSLR) because it does not use a mechanical mirror to switch the scene between the optical viewfinder and image sensor.

QuestionWhat is with the zoom on this camera? It's almost non existent. My old Sony had a 20x Optical Zoom. I bought this camera to take pictures of birds and scenery. This zoom is ridiculous. Unless I'm doing something wrong, it's going back.
Asked 5 years ago by chelene.
- Answer If you're taking wildlife photography, you more than likely don't want to be using the 16-55mm lens. I would like at the 100mm lenses as a starting point, preferably something with a lower f-stop. I've accomplished some great wildlife shot using the 16-55mm but, the zoom is limited. That's on any camera with this lens

Asked 7 years ago by Goweezie.
- Answer You’ll love this camera than. It’s retro meets technology. It’s a little more complicated than a point and shoot. I recommend reading the manual a little or you tube videos on the basic functions this camera has to offer. You won’t be disappointed with the pictures you take with this camera.

QuestionWhat is the difference between this and the Sony A5100??Just comparing the two models and needed to do more research on my purchase.
Asked 10 years ago by Maria.
- Answer A couple of major differences between the Sony a5100 and a6000 are that the a6000 includes an electronic viewfinder (sometimes called an EVF) in addition to the rear display; and it has an Exposure Mode dial. These are two very important difference that affect usability. Both camera have a APS-C size sensor, which potentially puts the camera's image quality on par with DSLRs. And both camera have 24 MP sensors, which can give you highly detailed photos.
