Sony Alpha a6000 Mirrorless Digital Camera with 16-50mm Lens and Accessory Kit (Silver)
Basically amazing
I've been a canon user for years, even made a living with their products. I recently gave up the photo living to pursue another dream so I thought I'll just downsize. I picked up the a6000 after reading some tech reviews. I have to say, this little mirrorless camera blows away every piece of canon equipment Ive ever used. The purists will disagree but when it comes down to it, nobody is looking at an image at 300% and evaluating pixels other than... Show More

Rebooted my love for photography
I'm by no means a newcomer to digital photography: from the first Canon Rebel all the way to three Samsung mirrorless cameras, my fascination with portrait and close up photography has reached another level: the Sony A6000 and a couple of Sony lenses allow me to capture the world around me and it seems I'm getting a little recognition from my weddings and portrait work (it's all fun and learning). The outstanding capabilities of the A6000 and ton... Show More

Really good travel camera with some caveats
I have used this camera very extensively now to make some judgement. I like the layout and position of buttons and dials, as well as the menu, even though I think Fuji X-T1 has a better layout and menu. It focuses really fast and accurate and in dimmed light with a fast lens is quite good but not excellent. Color rendition is great but not as accurate like my Canon 5D3. High ISO noise performance for images detail is also really good considering ... Show More

Great pictures but getting them is the problem
I wanted to like this little mirrorless camera. I had heard so much about it I thought it was a sure fire winner but there are problems. First, the menu is a total disaster. It takes forever to figure out and to set the camera up. The manual supplied with the camera is quite thin and of little benefit. I had to use google to find out what is what and how to do what. Second, all the buttons have the same feel to them so you always have to look awa... Show More

Camera developed issues after only four month of use.
I had the company that I work for buy two of these cameras since our Nikon D5300's are 3 years old and well past a 250,000 shutter count. We purchased these around the middle of December 2017 and have been using them daily to take photos of cars at our dealership. We take about 500+ photos daily. I noticed last week that my camera when I turned it on would immediately lock focus without me even touching the shutter button. When it's like this I c... Show More

Suffers from poor auto focus, bloated menus, jpg processing.
This much-hyped camera has it's good points which do not need to be mentioned here. Instead, videographers and phototgraphers should be aware of three things which I felt made this camera sub-par for my use as an interview camera. 1. Extremely poor auto-focusing mechanism. This camera could rarely hold a face in focus if that face was moving in the frame. This is unacceptable for a camera in this price range. 2. The most basic and ... Show More

Great Camera with little Flaws
This is a wonderful camera. According to the majority of websites that I've done research on, this camera outshines the 6D and even the 5D Mark III. That was hard to believe so I decided to get it to test it out and boy I wasn't disappointed. This camera is perfect for travel, being lightweight and compact enough to carry around with you, which was quite a struggle with a conventional DSLR. I'll just list out the pros and cons from my experiences... Show More

I waited 10 years to purchase a camera. My last camera was a Canon back in 2004 and ever since it was stolen, I've never had the motivation to buy another camera. I've borrowed a camera from friends, used my sister's camera, camera phone, etc.. I guess I waited a little too long but it was worth the wait - this camera is amazing.

Customizable Champion
Look, you need to play with the settings. With the out of the box features in play, it's just not that impressive, but as soon as you learn where the features are in this camera it's incredible power comes out. The autofocusing is creepily intelligent, even registering specific faces (hugely useful in event photography, or if traveling to tourist destinations with family) for long term tracking. Being primarily a film photographer, I expected to ... Show More

My second a6000!
My first a6000 is a chameleon--hardly ever with the same lens. I've learned so much about its capabilities, with both modern Sony and legacy lenses, that I feel I've become a better photographer. I do nature, street, people, and this 16-50mm lens is just right for most of them. The OSS is the best among my lenses, perfect for grab shots and waist-level shooting. The fold-out screen is still subtle enough that people don't know or don't care what ... Show More

Impressive camera - excellent value!
I bought this camera for my wife who already owns a Sony NX5 and a Sony DSLR. The Alpha 6000 is now her go to camera for just about everything she photographs. All the features of a new DSLR camera but half the weight and size. Blazing fast focus never misses and works with all of her older E lenses and DSLR lenses with the Sony adapter. I elected to get her the gorgeous silver and black finish body that is reminiscent of neo-modern rangefinder c... Show More

Light Weight, Easy-To-Use & Great Quality
I was originally a Nikon user, but i've been out of the photography loop for MANY years and resorted to using the Panasonic DMZ series while raising my kids. It was small, easy to use and the photos were decent. But of course, they weren't great and that dang lens kept going into error mode. Well the kids are gone and I wanted to get something nice for under $1000, but everything was so big and bulky. That's when I saw the Sony. I watched an inde... Show More

Not a DSLR, but a nice camera anyway
I purchased the Sony Alpha a6000 as a travel camera, something smaller and lighter than my dslr. With the 35mm prime lens, it takes great sharp photos with true colors. The 24 mp resolution is very nice. The control dial at the top makes switching modes easy. I like the electronic viewfinder and tilt screen. The manual that comes with it is ok, it describes the function of the buttons and dials but does not do much beyond that. For example, I had... Show More

Expect The Unexpected!
I have been a DSLR shooter for years and always shot with the same brand. Making the move to the mirrorless world was a bit questionable for me. After watching countless video reviews, reading up on multiple mirrorless camera brands, and comparing them all, I decided to give the Sony A6000 a try. I was not disappointed at all! In fact, it has far exceeded my expectations from a camera of this size. As my headline states, expect the unexpected fro... Show More

Great camera, but B&Hs kit leaves something to be desired
The A6000 is a great little camera, very lightweight and easy to carry, but B&Hs kit leaves some things to be desired. 1 No battery charger is included, they intend for you to charge the battery inside the camera from a USB connection. (Very slow and you cant charge one while the other is in use) I understand that this is Sonys decision, not B&H, but it would be nice if B&H told you this so you knew to order one with the camera.

Fast AF, excellent high ISO. Pleased
I have been using Sony Nex cameras for a few years, mainly for low light (indoor) photos of children. My hope was that the A6000 would give me faster auto-focus while retaining the excellent low light performance of my Nex 5R. The auto-focus I find is actually now very fast, even with the SEL 50mm 1.8 lens, which was pretty slow to focus on the 5R. The low light performance seems to be slightly better than the 5R and is great overall. So, I am ve... Show More

Don't believe the HYPE. Average Camera at best
The camera is okay but not great despite all these people giving it glowing reviews. These people are novices masquerading as pros or pros being paid by Sony. The camera is great for portraiture and casual shooting only, due to poor battery life and subpar autofocus, which also prevents it from being a a street or sports/action camera. It it capable of great images(high DR), but only for portraits and planned shoots. The menu system is terrible a... Show More

My usual set-up is a pair of 5d miii s, with 24-70 lenses,---WAY too cumbersome for a trip with non-photographers!) The physical size of the a6000s is great, image quality is nice for a crop sensor.
