Sony Alpha a6000 Mirrorless Digital Camera with 16-50mm Lens (Black)
Loved it now hate it
Worked awesome until it now and it doesn't recognize the one of my lens. Look online it is a major issue for this camera.

Amazing until it fails.
I have absolutely adored my Sony a6000, the image quality on this camera astounded me considering the price point. The video footage quality easily surpasses video-only cameras 3 and 4 times the price, it obviously cannot be used as a work horse video camera, but short clip making was wonderful. Thankfully, video is not what I need it for, I work in quiet, low-light event photography which is why I landed on this camera. It performed beautifully ... Show More

Good Starter Cam
Bought this for my daughter. This is an excellent starter camera. It's also a good camera for pickup shots at events.

I love this
I have had this camera for about two weeks and am taking my time to learn all of the great possibilities with it. After much research I found that this was the best mirrorless for a beginner.

Disapointed. Almost dead battery upon delivery.
The Sony A6000 needs no introduction since it??s been on the market for a while and it's gain the praise from everyone who's been lucky enough to get their hands on one. In a nutshell, it does what their competitors of even a higher price struggle with. And that is after 3 years on the market. Now for the bad part. When I received the camera, I noticed that the battery was out of the box completely depleted. That's HIGHLY UNUSUAL for a li-ion bat... Show More

Great value and small size
I bought this to supplement my full frame Nikon setup for the times when I don't want to carry a large rig. It works great for that. Light, good high ISO performance, a respectable EVF, and solid AF speeds. You really can't beat it for value. I've paired it with a Sigma 30 1.4 and they make for a very capable light rig. It doesn't match my FF Nikon+50 1.4G for image quality but it really isn't that far behind and is much more portable.

Nice, useful camera
It is a nice camera body. I like that it has a viewfinder. Unfortunately I returned it for an a5100, which does not have a viewfinder, though it is nice that it is lighter and even smaller than the a6000. I would recommend the a6000, and am considering getting one for my daughter, who finds my a5100 frustrating without a viewfinder. I like that it has a big sensor (APSC).

Buy it! Great images for the price, or even twice the price.
This is one sweet little camera. It produces nice photographs with snappy resolution even with the kit lens. I'm a geologist and use the camera in the field because of small size, light weight, and quality photographs. My only caution is DO NOT DROP IT. I dropped my first less than a meter. It landed on soil with pine needles. Oops, a total loss. Replaced it immediately with my current A6000. Keep the in a case with the strap around your neck when in use.

yes.
Great images for the price, although the sensor is prone to noise even at very low ISO, I have a nikon 7100 same size and same sensor made by Sony and the nikon gives me les noise at the same ISO , Nikon must use different algoritms to prevent that, other than that, size, weight,price and quality of images make it a bargain.

great for video using the gimbal
I purchased this camera for it's XAVC-S video capabilities utilizing the 60p @ 50mb for my gimbal. The colors and image pairs well with my main camera the Sony FS5, I also have an a6300 but the 1080 60p from that camera is horrible. Anyways the a6000 shoots great video and takes beautiful photos too. At that price point it is a good buy :)

Excellent Camera!
This is my first camera. I chose this Sony a6000, because my father, a professional photographer, recommended it. I could not be happier with this purchase and this camera. I have gotten enough good shots, I mean shots exceeding my artistic expectations and hopes for expression, that I am thoroughly hooked on this camera specifically and photography in general. After a week, I bought the telephoto lens, and now I'm considering buying the macro le... Show More

Great camera...mirrorless or otherwise.
Bought this for my daugter for a graduation gift. She had been shooting an older dslr I gave to her and really wanted to try mirorless. Since she has shown such a passion for photography (and many pictures better than mine) we bought it. Best choice we made! She loves it and shoots even more now, with even better results. Sharp, great color, and quick focus. The EVF isn't as sharp as the a6300 or 6500, but it sure is cheaper, and gets you what you need to frame good pictures if you don't want to compose on the back screen.

Excellent value for the price
Great little camera! Just getting back into photography after years of depending on my iPhone. Amazing clarity in detail, flexibility in features, and ease of use. I'm actually enjoying photography again!

Great Addition!
So far this is a fantastic camera. I have two Sony A-Mount bodies and a lot of Sony and Minolta lenses. I purchased a used LA-EA 2 adapter and the camera works perfectly with all my lenses. I also have a few Leica R lenses that I use with a Metabones adapter. They work effortlessly with the focus peaking. I bought this to use on vacations and when I wanted a smaller camera to carry but it will also work as a second body for seddings!

Top notch camera!
The best C sized interchangeable lens camera you can buy for less than $1000.00. My only minor complaint is that the screen doesn't fully articulate.

So far, very pleased!
I bought this to start the transition from heavy DSLR gear to a more manageable weight. The kit lens is actually pretty exceptional for what it is. However, using high end Nikon lenses with an adapter produces high quality images when shot in RAW. I suspect if you only shoot JPEG you will be very happy with the kit lens. If you intend to shoot RAW you will likely want some better glass. Somewhat of a learning curve involved in getting to know the camera but once you understand it the menu is fairly easy to navigate.

Great image quality, but menus seem non-intuitive
I am pleased with the image quality so far. I bought it to use as a compact travel camera that has dslr image quality. I have Canon dslrs, including full frame models, but they are a bit bulky for general site visits and day hikes. The Sony mechanical build quality is not up to my expectations nor are the Sony menu interfaces what I am used to. But again, I purchased it mainly for the size and the image quality, which seem to meet my hopes so far.

great camera package
Excellent camera kit and I got it at a super price from B&H. Each lens is tack sharp and make super enlargements if you need them. Features are great, and there is an icon of a red camera that is on of the smart program exposure dial settings that works better than any program exposure mode that I have ever used. It will even correct imperfections in the lenses ,like distortions that are in all lenses. The camera is super light, and the kit lense... Show More

Excellent Choice For A mirrorless Digital Camera.
I was looking for a mirrorless digital camera to replace some heavy and outdated Nikon gear and I wanted to keep the price under $1000. So after reading all the reviews on several forums and elsewhere I decided the Sony A6000 with a16-50mm and a 55-210mm lens would fit the bill perfectly. I have not been disappointed. It took some searching and a lot of reading to figure out the menus on this camera and the owner's manual is not a lot of help. On... Show More

different AC adaptor than indicated
One thing that really confuses me is that it was indicated an AC Adapter AC-UB10 is included. But when I receive the package, I got an AC-UUD12 adapter and its output voltage seems to be higher than the camera's maximum voltage.

really nice little camera
just got it Friday and took it our for a spin yesterday--used it in auto mode and love the colors of the pictures--also read that turn on the airplane mode to save battery power and also turn off prefocusing in menus my battery did last when I did this--now will go to other setting like S and A to see how they work that is the settings I use most in my other cameras--

Great camera for beginners!
This is a great camera that takes quality photos automatically. The only downside is that it struggles in low light, this can be combatted using manual or SCN.

Big Performance in a Small Package
I purchased this Sony a6000 with the 16-50mm lens as a travel replacement for my full frame Nikon. I was looking for something lighter in my carry-on luggage for air travel. I was also tired of lugging that big full frame camera and gear on vacations, especially to Europe, I had done a lot of research on mirrorless cameras and this one always came to the top of the list based on price and functionality. I was not expecting too much for the price ... Show More
