    Best Camera Ever

    Best camera not just for money, but for technical advantage. For a starter camera is so far ahead of the rest. Canon user for more than thirty years can't imagine going back. Adjust settings before that shot is taken.

    I love the ability to transfer pictures from the camera to my phone via wifi from anywhere. It's simple and was easy to figure out how to do. I am learning how to use a digital SLR but so far I am happy with my photos.

    I love it, and have brought it on a week long road trip, music festival, and many concerts already. I pretty much take it everywhere. I got a screen protector made for it, so I really don't worry about it being out when I'm in a crowd.

    Great camera. I'm having a lot of fun with it now, though I wish the manual had a better explanation of some of the dials and buttons.

    Played with my brothers A6000 and imeditately fell in love with it. This is not a beginners camera however, easy to navigate through menus. Only complaint is, screen is hard to see in direct light.

    Mechanically it seems of good quality, but still in the review process. Please be warned that the account connectivity, documentation, and any other access to the Sony support web page is a train wreck and not ready for the camera's release

    I AM a beginner in the sense of learning beyond a simple point and shoot. I bought this model as I'm taking a photography course that requires learning some camera technique. The more familiar I become, the easier it gets, the more I like it. The only thing I don't care for is the lens cap has no string that attaches to the camera.

    This camara is the best to start off with when you are not to familiar with how to use a camara of high quality. It takes great pictures and it's so small and compact for easy carry in a purse or backpack.

    Sony A6000 is Small but Powerful

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    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. +
