||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Good camera for photographers. I returned mines because I am not a photographer. They have too many functions and I was very complicated to use.

Posted .Hi MsTracy, Sorry to hear that you had to return the camera. As complicated as it may seem, the camera has Auto settings that works like a normal point and shoot. The camera will be the one to adjust the necessary settings for you. Best regads, Zander
Great for social media
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This camera is great for content creators on the go but still lacks the lens ecosystem of Canon and Nikon.
I would recommend this to a friendFair camera. Pictures not great.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It’s overpriced and lens kit is weak for this price. Should have gone with Cannon. Salesperson pushes Sony.

Nice camera but horrible view finder
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this camera for my wife for Xmas and we brought it on our honeymoon in Africa. The view finder never worked properly. Really blurry and when taking a picture you have to guess at what you are shooting at. I'm returning it the minute I get back.

If you still have the camera, please adjust the diopter-adjustment dial to adjust your eyesight until the display appears clearly in the viewfinder.

Pretty good camera for a first camera
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I would recommend this camera for all beginners it prepares you for use of a professional camera, alittle costly.
I would recommend this to a friendNot a fan
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I really am not a fan, return it pretty much as soon as I could. Picture quality was not great no matter the light, I cringed at the restocking fee but better then having a bad camera. The person behind the counter even stated these get returned all the time. I have had these years ago and loved them, quality has really changed in 10 years.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendGood camera
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The camera gets hot to fast when recording. Shuts off when to hot!
No, I would not recommend this to a friendSony alpha 6000
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.While reviewing the pics which we have taken it is always showing format memory card and the system is very slow. And for night time photography I won't suggest this camera. Day time it is good.

Nice compact camera
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Nice compact camera almost like a point and shoot and the quality of the images are great!
I would recommend this to a friendGood for beginners
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Good for beginners. Some options are really tuff find out
No, I would not recommend this to a friendIt is ok
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I expected a lot more from the camera, especially for it to be more user-friendly.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendOver priced
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Definitely the no touch screen is a down no no on this camera
No, I would not recommend this to a friendStick to a DLSR
||Posted . Owned for 7 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have always used canon DLSR cameras for my photography but wanted to give this mirrorless camera a shot. The quality is nothing like the pictures they display in the store. I have been highly disappointed with it and will continue to use my canon.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend- Pros mentioned:Camera qualityCons mentioned:Battery life, Low light performance
Great camera, great price, solid size in 2022!!
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great camera for a great price! Very solid for any enthusiast or professional. It is a really good camera. It does have very few shortcomings and give tough competition to any camera in it's class even in 2022. I use this for sports photography, portraits, and street photography. For all of these scenarios, it works really well. Especially if you know what you're doing and you tinker a little in the settings too. PROS: Fast autofocus 11fps burst shooting, isn't the most fastest, but it doesn't feel slow not even a bit, incredibly good burst shooting Easy settings menu Hidden eye auto focus option, very handy for portraits 179+25 autofocus points Image quality is fantastic shoots both RAW and jpeg CONS: EVF is very sensitive, and sometimes lag on startup Low light performance isn't that great, but somewhat acceptable The time it takes to write images to sd card after a couple shots continuously is a pain sometimes, especially when you want to look at the shots you took a second ago. Battery life is bad, no sugar coating that. But if you can get batteries, which you can get a 5-pack on amazon, you'll be completely fine.
I would recommend this to a friend Defective camera
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Defective camera. Returned camera for an even exchange and still got charged a 15% restocking fee. That restocking fee should go to the manufacturer not me as a customer
No, I would not recommend this to a friend- Cons mentioned:Battery life
Great Buy
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.You make it what you want! It can be a very nice point and shoot very easy to use or, if you know a lot about photography, a very sophisticated and flexible camera. The lens kit is not top notch, but it is very convenient and a good deal. If you want better, you will have to spend hundreds more for prime lenses. For most users, this kit is good enough. Buy a spare battery and a wall charger: charging the battery through your computer is a sad joke.
I would recommend this to a friend Not easy access to pictures
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very disappointed in this camera. Not user friendly for beginners and I ended up messing up a very important photo of my family at a get together that happens like once every 5 years because we all live so far from each other. Also, I can’t even upload the pictures onto my computer or phone because it makes you download this PlayMemories app that doesn’t work and makes you get a Sony account and then freezes out on you. So frustrated.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendBrand response from SonyListens
Posted .Hello lnngld3, sorry to hear about the experience you had with your a6000. The PlayMemories app has been replaced by Imaging Edge Mobile that will allow you to transfer your pictures to your mobile phone. The transfer to your computer will not require any application, either connect the SD card to your computer or connect your camera after setting the USB to Mass Storage (Menu > Setup > USB Connection > Mass Storage).
If settings are an issue, set the camera to "Auto" that should provide you with a more straightforward experience. In case of technical issue, feel free to contact our customer support.
Cheaply made, such a disappointment
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased so my old Sony SLR lenses would work with a digital camera. I miss the well-made products from 20-30 years ago. Would not purchase again.
