    The camera keeps displaying an error message and it is my replacement after the first one doing the same thing within a week of buying. Don't buy this camera.

    Not worth the price and bad picture quality

    This is the worst purchase I have made ever on a camera. Poor poor picture quality. Even after using the E55-210 mm lens the quality of picture when zoomed in doesn't give a great picture quality. Disappointed for the price it is. Not at all worth. There are much better cameras for lesser price and great picture quality.

    The vignetting of images from these kit lenses is unacceptable. This is a problem on both lenses. You won't tell if you don't look for it. However if you are taking a picture of a white refrigerator, wall or anything that should look white around the edges of the frame you'll see a lot of shadow. I recommend getting the body and a good lens separate.

    I love the weight and size of this camera. I’m a hobbyist and I’m just getting started. The price point for the kit was super affordable. Sony should think of including a USB-C adapter in the package along with the charger.

    Sony A6000

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Love it so much I bought two. I’ve been using this model for over five years now, with both video and photography and my clients and myself have been very impressed with the quality the Sony a6000 has gotten. Also I love the lens options, being a sports photographer I’ve been stoked to get crisp, clear shots with moving players and in low light.
