I use this camera for photography for my business and to make videos for my socials as a content creator! I have been using the lens it comes with and it for the most part has everything I need! I love the customizations you’re able to do for lighting. The mic that comes with it is pretty decent as well as the flash. Truly happy with my purchase!

Me and my wife bought this camera in the store and the man who helped us was just very informative, gave me every last detail about everything we were looking at! It was an overall excellent experience and we really have enjoyed the camera so far. We are both beginners so there’s been a bit of a learn curve but it’s been great so far!

Menu and adjustments can be a struggle at first but a few YouTube videos can make things easier. Overal great picture for a stater lens but they can be swapped out for a nicer one later. Great buy.

Great camera for travel because of its small size. with the 24 mega pixel sensor you can make 16x 20 enlargements. Having the ability to change lenses you have a huge assortment of Sony and third party lenses to choose from,

As a starting content creator, this was definitely worth the money. The fact that it comes with a starting lens is amazing.
I have yet to purchase interchangeable lenses and I know that my content will level up with them!
I’m an online fitness coach and this has definitely made my content better!

It is my first time to buy this kind of camera, since I don’t have any idea how does the settings works. But with Sony, I noticed that it was easy to used and more convenient specially if you are a newbie and thinking what brand of camera you want to.

I love the camera with the automatic eye detection . Worth it to spend couple more then a6000 if we have plans to keep the camera for a longer time and give great quality pictures . Few extra mods like lenses would improve the picture quality
