    This camera is exactly what we were looking for to get started vlogging. The flip up screen is perfect for selfie style videos, and the menu/settings are very easy to navigate. Sadly this camera is discontinued and I'll be sad if it breaks because I won't be able to get the same one as a replacement. All in all, this camera deserves 5 stars!

    I'm an amateur photographer and am not up to complete speed on everything. So it's taken a lot of time to figure out the camera and all of its operations.

    I am a professional amateur photographer. I did a lot of research before buying this camera. I want to really good camera from my daughter graduating from grad school. She is a beginner and I wanted the camera with interchangeable lenses and one that can grow with her. She was super excited about the camera and loves how user-friendly it is.

    It does not focus as well as it should BUT a great little camera, as long as you take more than one shot at a time!

      Hi BECollins6, We're sorry to hear about what happened. Please make sure that you half ress the shutter to prefocus. If you are trying to take a picture of a moving subject, you can us Continuous Focus or Object Tracking. -Zander Sonystyle

    Been a pro photo dude for a bunch of years. I've seen many more expensive cameras with much less to offer. The Sony Alpha a6000 does a great job of providing the professional images required to make my customers happy. This unit is a perfect fit for shooters at any level. Menu was difficult to learn, but worth the time and effort.

    I upgraded my old camera to this new camera and it is worth the upgrade. I received all the positive comments on my pictures because of the true color and clarity of the pictures. I took over 1000 pictures on my 2 weeks vacation and all came out amazing. I'm glad I chose this camera over the heavy bulky dslr camera.

    I never saw a thorough review, so I had to do this

    As you can read in the title, I felt the need to review this camera after buying it from this site. I bought it in the bundle which includes the 55-210mm telephoto lens. This camera is absolutely perfect for me, as I don't require the viewfinder that most people want in a camera. I wear glasses, so I really don't mind. If you want a viewfinder, just get the A6000. Do not compare this camera to any point and shoot.. This is DSLR quality and nothing less. First off, the image quality. 20.1 MP APS-C sensor. What more could you ask for in such a tiny camera, with sizes comparable to Nikon Coolpix and other point-and-shoots? The features are wonderful, including all the features of the huge hunky chunky DSLRs. I bought this camera as a photographer who wanted to take quality pictures for fun, without spending one penny too much. My other options were the Nikon D3200 and the Canon EOS Rebel T5, which are EASILY comparable to this camera. The size is perfect as I said before, and you'll find yourself taking selfies with the 180 degree tilting screen all day! Finally, the accessories for this camera include everything you need. Just go on the Sony website, and I guarantee you'll find the item you need. I'm going for 50mm Prime lenses, and some wide angle lenses, and I have already gotten some small required items like UV filters (which really don't do anything# and polarizers for when I'm shooting in the sun. Pros: Good in low light Good image quality Good ergonomics Great features Accessories for all you need Shoots in RAW and JPEG Cons:#I didn't have many problems, but for people that are different from me, here are some things that might annoy them if they are really that picky. I'm not too picky.# No viewfinder No area to attach attachments such as external flashes Noisy LCD screen before you take a photo Lens cap doesn't cover, more like fills in the area Does not come with a case # this costs me an extra $20; not too big) Battery Charges inside camera, not outside, so you have to plug in the camera Requires some learning as far as the setup menus and features Recommended for: Camera beginners up to photographers with experience with other DSLRs. People who want quality pictures who don't want to spend too much money, or haul around a huge DSLR. People who simply want to capture memories. Tips: Learn a bit about photography before getting this camera like basic exposures, white balance, etc. The two lenses for this camera that are available and recommended apart from the kit lens is the telephoto 55-210mm lens, and 50mm prime lens. Make SURE you don't need a viewfinder, since you can NEVER attach one; the same goes for flashes and other attachments. Get Black:P P.S. I wanted to upload some photos but it still never worked after refreshing the page like seventy times. They were nice sunset photos:)

    My husband and I film vlogs as semi truck drivers, and this is what we use. The quality is amazing while we're bumping down the road in the middle of the night, with only the map lights on!! *we never film while driving, only the passenger films if the truck is moving* Love the screen that flips up! Makes vlogging a dream!

    I have always stuck with apple and I originally bought this after my dell laptop crashed. I wanted a macbook because it is easy to travel with and because of the editing software. I make youtube videos and iMovie is much better and complex then the windows editing program. You can check some of my videos out on youtube by searching "Steven Li"

    When looking for a camera, I wanted something easy to carry but with a good zoom up feature to take good pictures. This camera served my needs perfectly. It's easy to use, and one good feature is the ability to add a higher power camera lenses.
