I really the photos that I have taken from this camera.

Bought the camera under "open box, excellent condition" and opened the package to find the lens already attached to the camera and provided with no rear lens cap or body cap, so I will never be able to remove the lens to store unless I want dust all over the sensor. The description specifically said "all original accessories provided". This is all if the camera actually worked. Initially, I powered it on and it worked fine. I took a couple test shots and they were great. I went to go update the firmware for the camera and lens, and as soon as the update started, it completely wiped the camera's old firmware, making it unrecognizable to the computer. I tried to reboot the camera as the update program said, but it still doesn't work. Now the red "loading" light on the bottom will not turn off as it normally should, and the camera is useless. Won't turn on, won't do anything. Just a $600 brick sitting around that I would love to use, but I can't.

Definitely worth it for the money. There are a lot of cameras out there but this one definitely does the job. A lot of different feature options and add on parts that make this a great starter camera.

With the myriad of brands and models currently available to consumers, it is very hard to know WHAT to choose as being the right one to meet your needs, desires, and pocket book effect. Sony produced this A6000 in 2014 as a follow-on to its 3000/5000 Series of Mirrorless Cameras. Probably the two most important aspects are: (1) The A6000 utilizes a genuine APS-C Sensor which the same type used in DSLR, and DSLT (Alpha) higher end products. In simpler terms for those that may be less familiar with that meaning - this ensures that you will have a SENSOR that is just slightly smaller in physical, and Megapixel capacity for capturing nearly every type of photo/shot condition/movie you would ever come across. (2) It ability to Fast Focus via some 179 Auto-sensed points means that whether it is a Wildlife critter making a jump, or taking off, or your child's first hit at the plate - this unit will capture it quickly and clearly. There are hosts of capabilities you can, or have already read about its features and benefits. This review is NOT intended to repeat all those aspects. This review is a personal opinion from someone who uses this product, owns lots of camera brands, models, and types -not a Professional Photographer- but an enthusiast level hobby photographer. The Sony A6000 is a small, powerful, and very capable Mirrorless camera that equals or surpasses many of the DSLR/DSLT Bridge Type cameras. Bridge Type: A term coined within the industries guru's that means a camera product that is in between a Professional Grade, and just a common Consumer Grade camera. With the Optional Lenses for the E-Mount class of camera's - such as the 50-210 Lens: You can have the ability to zoom out for that tight shot, or select a Lens for close in Macro type shooting. Even more Lens products are coming out for these E-Mount type Cameras. The only negative input here has to do with Sony's chosen method of providing the User/Owner with detailed usage manuals (300+pgs.). Their detailed User Manuals are via Sony's On-Line accessing, which can be downloaded - but utilize "Cascading Sheets" methodology versus straight PDF, or what we are all accustomed to as common Book Type formatting, such as: Accessing a Table Of Contents, correlate to a Page Number, etc. You can not hard copy PRINT - for placing into a binder or such - with a continuous printing from Page 1, to Page xx, the way we can typically print things. Actual Page Number jumps around, and is SUBJECT Driven vs. Page Driven. The Camera Product itself, and all the things you can do with it ARE a hit. The Sony A6000 is a big leader in this type of product. +

Love it. Works perfect! I’m just getting into photography and it is great for starters

My wife neeeeeeeddddeedd a expensive camera for the birth of our first child. She’s used it maybe twice. I’m sure it’s a great camera just need to find someone to use it more often.

Its a modern, easy to use amazing camera for a beginner.

Doesnt recognize any lens and tells me a lens is not attached. Owned this less than 30 days. Intermittent fault. Called Sony and they said they never heard of this problem. Google alpha 2000 lens not attached and see how many hits you get. Liars denying the problem

Light and portable, even with the large telephoto zoom. Color rendition is very good. The auto exposure feature is good, but found it is slanted to having a shorter exposure time than having a tighter aperture, so many things are quite as crisp as I'd like. However, this can be corrected with spending some time with the instruction manual.

After doing a large amount of research, I bought this camera. While it is small in size compared to a DSLR, this camera does an amazing job! I love the photos it takes and have recommended it to many!

This camera is super Lightweight and takes great pics

This camera was recommended to me by a friend and I spent months researching it on my own. I am very satisfied with the quality for the price. It's an excellent camera and never lets me down.

It is a good interface would recommend the only disadvantage is you record long videos or if you want to flip the screen as it has limited mobility

I had different sony alpha models since 2008. This is absolutely the best one talking about cost benefit. It is light, compact, fast, has a awesome image quality. The only reason why it is not 5 stars is because the kit lense is dark and not enough to shoot the potential of the camera. I bought a 1.8 35mm.

Very good camera, best buy for your money. Highly recommended

The Sony A6000 takes fantastic pictures for its price range. But the best feature (IMO) is the focusing speed. If you aren't using something comparable, you will notice the difference.

This is a really fun camera to use and has a really good amount of features that they pack into such a small package. I love the auto focus on this camera its lighting fast.

Super resolution & exterior photos easier with viewfinder! Many options for real estate photos for realtor flyers

You can't go wrong with this camera,bit pricey though but overall good device,you won't be disappointed.i bought it for my girlfriend and the pictures coming out nice now she thinks is a pro.(is the camera lol).
