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.

    I bought this at the last minute before we left for a land and long boat trip to China with my fingers crossed at the recommendation of one of the Best Buy Associates hoping to capture the once in a lifetime trip. The Sony camera was just what I needed, light weight and a powerhouse for those incredible shots of one of the most foreign travels that I definitely wanted to capture as much as possible. My friends and family are able to share in the moment with the great auto focus pictures and I look forward to really learning how to use the full capabilities of this camera.

    For an amateur photographer, this is a good camera. Nice quality pics and easy to use. 2nd lense is a nice bonus to use while on vacation for distant shots.

    I have been using a Canon 70D with a 24-70 f4L lens with great success for a number of years, yet have become increasingly frustrated by its rather large size. After trying the Canon M5, I decided to give this camera a try. The two lenses that came with the camera work quite well. I did find the 16-50 lens to be quite clear even though the motorized zoom was just a bit noisy. The 55-210 is very crisp until about 175 mm. The A6000 body coupled with the Sony Zeis 16-70 is nothing short of outstanding, with the overall performance actually being better than my Canon setup. Absolutely perfect for travel.

    This is my first "real" camera after years of only using a cellphone. I've only been using it a few weeks so still getting a hang of it. My first outting using this was with the kit 16-50mm lens at a car show. Although I haven't fully dialed in my settings in manual mode, the pictures I took were good enough for a wheel company to contact me to get originals of some the pictures of their cars that I took. That said even for a complete newbie still messing around with settings in manual mode, it still can take great pictures. Do not regret moving from a cellphone to this camera!

    Bought the camera in anticipation of an upcoming trip. Took great photos and easy handling. Within two weeks camera wouldn't recognize one of the lenses and often would black out. Luckily has a warranty; sent it to Sony for repair last week. Hoping issue will be resolved.When I first took it to Best Buy I was told that I wasn't the first to have returned with such a problem (something they neglected to tell me about when I went to purchase!).

    this is really an amazing camera for its size. I was coming from a full Nikon DSLR and this beats it, with a smaller form factor and sharper photos and good night shots.

    Overall- I love this camera. It's light weight, easy to take on-the-go. I bought to take pictures of my toddler, but has ended up serving purpose for other events! The only downfall I've found is that since it is a newer version it's harder to find good, strong tutorials and etc online.

    I bought this for travel. Perfect size when you don't want to carry a DSLR or larger mirrorless camera. The kit len is small and versatile but is nothing special. I highly recommend buying a prime lens. The 55-210 zoo lens works great and is high quality.
