This camera is great for anyone who wants DSLR quality pictures without having to lug around a DSLR. The body is slim, the image quality is great, you can send pictures directly to your smartphone (making instagramming them that much easier because let's be real we all know why we're here). Overall I think Sony came out with a near perfect camera. My only complaint is that loud shutter. If you're in a museum or a quiet place or you're just trying to take a candid shot without someone knowning, then best of luck to you.

I bought the a5000 for my wife initially since she is just starting but I was convinced at the store to upgrade to this model. I was very impressed with both of them and my wife liked that the a6000 has the viewfinder when it's bright outside. Screen flips up on this one 90° and down a little less for those weird positions when taking pictures which was really neat. Super fast pictures and great resolution. Love Sony products and has many attachments for more advanced users.

Super fast shutter, lightweight and easy to carry, was searching for a replacement for an old Canon A1 SLR and an old Minolta for a trip to Europe. This camera was a perfect compromise, bayonet mount and small body, a perfect camera for hiking and sightseeing, portraits and scenery. I found that using view-finder and turning off camera between shots, the battery lasted all day, but I bought a spare to carry as a back-up.

I watched many videos on YouTube regarding this camera and was very excited to be able to purchase. I really Love the wifi . I had been paying for professional pictures for the fam@$100+a pop. Now I have my own professional camera! "The best camera is a camera you have with you"- said someone via YouTube. This camera is small but powerful and I can take it with me without drawing to much attention. So the best camera for me is one I can drag around Chicago without getting mugged!

Sony A6000 is a Treasure Product

I would like to buy this product with body only: just save it as my spare part to use. It is a great product in the market. Especially for anyone who would like to start exploring digital photography.
It is wonderful that it offers The feature of 11 fps continuous shooting with subject-tracking.
The new a6000 sits in the same place in Sony's mirrorless lineup and offers a broadly similar feature set, but adds a number of significant new features (while also losing the NEX moniker of its predecessor). The resolution and processor have been bumped up, the most notable feature on the a6000 is its updated Hybrid AF system.
The company also claims that the a6000 has the fastest AF performance on the market, though those statements should always be taken with a grain of salt.

Sony has some of the best mirrorless systems out right now. Sony has the most technology jam packed in to the 6000 series, especially when comparing autofocus, ISO, and shutter speeds. This camera blows my old Canon T3I out of the water on every aspect. Best thing is you are able to use adapt cheap vintage lenses and take beautiful photos. I chose this camera because in the future I plan on upgrading the body to a newer 6000 series staying with the Sony ecosystem.
