Q: QuestionCan this camera be used for shooting YouTube videos?

Asked 8 years ago by Ava411.

• A:Answer Yeah! Without a doubt the quality of this camera is really nice for videos. Unless you're going to vlog. The screen only flips to about 90 degrees. I personally think that if you're going to vlog a screen that flips to 180 degrees is better and more efficient. But other than that, this camera has nice video quality.

Q: QuestionMy business requires all photos taken must be photo date and time stamp, does this camera have a date and time stamp feature.

Asked 8 years ago by Jimmyd.

• A:Answer It does, but most all cameras do today by default. You can get better value with a Olympus EM-10.

  I would recommend:

  • 

    Olympus - OM-D E-M10 Mark II Mirrorless Camera Two Lens Kit with 14-42mm and 40-150mm Lenses - Black

    User rating, 4.73 out of 5 stars with 22 reviews.

Q: QuestionHi, Will my current lenses from my Alpha350 and 700 fit onto this camera?

Asked 8 years ago by Duzbin.

• A:Answer It will, but you need an A-mount to E-mount adapter. The added bulk along with an already large A-mount lens will likely negate any benefit of the mirrorless aspect of the camera. If that makes you want a A-mount Camera, the best one under $1000 would either be the A68 at $600, or the A77II at $1,200. If you insist on E-mount, The EA-4 will give you Phase-Detect Autofocus. Also note that you will need to also buy new types of batteries, a shoe adapter, or entirely new accessories

  I would recommend:

  • 

    Sony - Alpha a68 DSLR Camera (Body Only) - black

    User rating, 4.5 out of 5 stars with 10 reviews.

Q: QuestionI was watching this camera for over a month leading up to Christmas and it was on sale for $550. I asked for gift cards from everyone but then waited a couple weeks before going to get it and it had gone up to $700. Any guesses when it will go back down?

Asked 8 years ago by Procrastinator.

• A:Answer Check if your store has an "open box" available. That's how I got mine! They had several to choose from and they were all in perfect condition. Took like $100 off the price

Q: QuestionI am taking a photography class would this be considered a good camera to learn manual mode ?

Asked 8 years ago by Mdcameracraze.

This question was asked about the related product: Sony - Alpha a6000 Mirrorless Camera with 16-50mm Retractable Lens - Silver

• A:Answer Hi Mdcameracraze, the saying in photography is that the best camera is the one you have with you. With its compact size and light weight, the α6000 compares favorably to bulkier, heavier DSLRs. Yet with the creativity of interchangeable lenses, manual controls and more, you sacrifice nothing.

Q: QuestionI got an opened box in excellent condition, and it didn't come with a neck strap and no lens cap. what should i do.

Asked 9 years ago by Anonymous.

• A:Answer I believe the reason they reduced the price on yours is that someone returned the item when they lost the strap and cap. There's not much you can do besides buying an aftermarket or the factory lens cap and strap again.
