Customers are saying

Customers are impressed with the Alpha a6000's camera quality, ease of use, and compact size, frequently praising its lightweight design. Many also appreciate the camera's features and find it offers good value for the price. However, some users note that the battery life could be improved, and low-light performance and autofocus could be more reliable. The telephoto lens's autofocus functionality has also received some criticism.

    This camera lets you take photos when there is no disc, unlike a Nikon for example which will not let you snap and gives an error. Speed is also t great

    Came to the store looking to buy a video camera for web vlogs and the salesman sold me this camera and said that it would do what I wanted to do. Not only does the camera not do what I want but I already have a decent DSLR that works great for what I do. I was ready to spend 3 to 4 thousand for a good HD video camera and ended up with a camera that will not do what I want it for.

    I purchased this camera last year and I was very excited but never been using it because the has no quality at all or probably it was damaged and I never realized and now I am stuck with it. Very bad experience with this camera.

    used this camera to take a few shots then compare with iphone’s. the quality is not even close. Immediately returned to BB store, but asked to pay 15% restocking fee. Quite an expensive experience for a few shots. I probably should not have bought this from BB.

    Excellent Camera with full of features

    I bought this camera last holiday season and i am very happy i made this decision. Initially i was planning to buy DSLR camera and was reading all the reviews. Nikon D3300, Canon T5i and Sony A6000 was in my bucket list. Canon cameras were quite highly priced. After visiting Best Buy store and after handling all three cameras, i finally narrowed down to Sony A6000. Even though i miss some features of DSLR, this camera produces awesome Pictures. Though 16-50 Lens is worst of all other Kit lens, we do have other options

    Did not like to use this camera, my Nikon D3400 took better pics. View finder was dark and hard to adjust plus there were spots on the view finder and the pics. It might be a great camera but I did not like it it was a disappointment

    Fantastic Camera

    Posted .

    I was a bit skeptical switching my main driver from a DLSR to a mirrorless camera. After purchasing this, I'm glad I made the switch. This camera is amazing for the price and does better than my 6D in my opinion. PROS: -Lightweight and portable -Awesome wifi and tethering capabilities -11 FPS -Professional quality picture in an entry level mirrorless -Crazy focus points CONS: -wifi setup/transfer is a bit clunky -Camera is limited to its capabilities when using an iphone for transfers -Battery life makes it almost necessary for you to buy extras -The Kit did not come with rear lens caps and the body cap, which was quite disappointing -The tilt screen (in my opinion) is totally useless -No dedicated ISO dial. Despite the number of cons, this camera does an amazing job at producing quality pictures. The cons I found were personal pains for me but I'm in love with this camera. It is definitely something to buy if one wants to pursue photography.

    Great wide lens! I also loved the mount at the top of the camera, it came in handy when I needed to attach a mic.
