  • Sony is EVIL!
Color: Black Style: Base Set: Base
What was Sony thinking? This camera has just been released a little over a year ago and its price has dropped to a bargain level at $448 recently. When I saw this, I couldn't believe my eyes and immediately pushed the BUY button. I myself have already owned the entry level A3000 and that was another good bargain. But this with WIFI, NFC, best in class 24 megapixel sensor, and best in class frame rate? You 've gotta be kidding me. The list could go on and on and other reviewers have already mentioned some of its great features. So I 'm not going to repeat them here but focus on my perspective as a Canon DSLR shooter I always think Canon has been milking its APS-C sensor for years and the recent update over my 5-year old 7D was just a meh. The opportunity of adding a Sony came when I looked for a compact camera I could carry for those long hikes and international travels. Hauling a DSLR makes my shoulder hurts. The Sony A3000 was an answer. I have had that camera for a little over 5 months and I liked its value proposition. But in my mind, I always wanted the A6000 because it 's just a far better camera with its WIFI, EVF, and CMOS sensor. Its body shape is also less DSLR like and looks just like a rangefinder. It 's perfect for street photography with a prime lens on it. At the time I bought my A3000, the A6000 was selling for well over $600 and I wanted just to test the water with the A3000 and see how things go. Because Sony E mount body has such a short flange distance, you can literally mount any legacy lens with an appropriate adapters. I myself have a Metabones Canon FD lens adapter and it works very well with the Sony E mount bodies. If you are not into sports or wildlife, manual focus is a breeze with the Sony. All their bodies have focus peaking and magnification with one touch of a button. However, the A6000 has far better resolution on the EVF than its A3000 sibling. So that was a blessing for me as I have an aging eye sight. The tilted LCD screen is also very helpful if I need to raise my camera to shoot with a crowd in front of me. All these additional features and the price justify the A6000 over the A3000 if you ask me today. The A3000 price has dropped slightly but not as much as the A6000. $200 is a big drop forthe A6000 and I can tell you its CMOS sensor is far better than any Canon sensor at the same APS-C size. The RAW files from the A6000 have more latitude to push shadows in post without revealing any color banding noise unlike my Canon. This makes it easier for me to shoot under a high contrast situation. Speaking of which, I absolutely love the Sony built-in HDR function. The resulting photos came out very natural and you could even do it handheld as the Bionz X processor has the intelligence to do image alignment. With the A6000 fast frame rate, that becomes unnecessary unless you are making long exposures. I cannot do this with my Canon DSLR. I normally need to use ND grad filter for highly contrast scenes. But with this Sony, I no longer need to carry those ND Grad filters and the mounting bracket. That saves me some space in my camera bag. To augment this camera for street photography, I have recently acquired a Sony 35mm F1.8 and it 's a perfect match in heaven with the A6000. The setup is so compact, light, and discreet. The only thing I would complain is that the shutter on the A6000 is much louder than my other A3000. So now my A3000 has become my backup. These cameras are perfect for travel to those third world countries and unfamiliar neighborhoods. At least you don't look like a walking ATM machine. Ain't Sony EVIL? (aka electronic viewfinder interchange lens). I am now thinking to switch some of my Canon gear to Sony. Sony has a habit of introducing new bodies every year or so. You just need to time it if you are looking for real bargains. Their bodies might be cheap, but they make that up by selling you more expensive lenses sometimes even more than the camera bodies. Their Zeiss lenses are among the best yet expensive. But you can always get away with legacy manual focus lenses if you don't need autofocus. Sony 's manual focus aid is the best in the industry IMO. I cannot even do manual focus efficiently with my Canon 5D Mark3 which is over 6 times more expensive than the Sony A6000. ... show more

  • Still a Great Camera for 2018! Great Beginners and Advanced Enthusiast!
Color: Black Style: Base Set: Base
I've owned every Sony mirrorless camera since the Nex-5N. I've also owned every Sony A7 full frame mirrorless camera except for the A9. I'm currently shooing with the Sony A7riii professionally. The Sony A6000 was my first advanced semi-professional camera in the Sony mirrorless line and it was a game changer for me. I have since upgraded to the A6500 but in 2018 this is viable camera for those wanting to get into more serious photography and those who want a small compact travel camera that can change lenses. Many professionals also keep one of these as a backup for equipment failures. The A6000 went down in history in the Sony line as a legendary camera. Pros: Price. When I first purchased this, this was $800 with a 16-50mm kit and $650 for just the body. The price has come down a lot now to $500 for body and kit and $450 for just the body. In the used market you can find them for just a little over $300. This is an amazing deal for a camera of this caliber. When I purchased this camera, it used to be the top of the Sony mirrorless APS-C line. It was a replacement for the NEX 6/7. Nowadays there is a an A6300 and A6500 so it's become the low tier product. But at this price it's still viable as a entry-level camera. Size. There's very few cameras that are as compact as the A6000 that packs a punch. The A6000 with the kit 16-50mm lens is small enough to fit in purses and cargo pant pockets. It will also fit perfectly in compartments in backpacks and other bags. It is significantly smaller than most entry level DSLR cameras from Canon or Nikon. FAST. This camera shoots continuous bursts extremely quick. I normally shoot on continuous mode (hold shutter down) so not to miss a shot and pick out the best one later. With this camera I need to be wary of how long I hold it down for because after a few seconds I have 20+ photos in my camera that are all essentially the same. I've tried and I can't shoot less than 3 shots with one push of the shutter. If you shoot moving objects you can almost make a flip-book or stop motion movie with this. Amazing speed. Fast autofocus. The AF of this camera is PDAF and Contrast Detect. PDAF is much quicker and contrast detect is used for fine-grain adjustments. It's the same kind of AF system used in the A7 line of professional cameras. The AF is competent enough to track fast moving subjects well and should be more than capable for most people's needs. Lens Compatibility. Even though this is an older Sony E mount camera, it is fully compatible with the entire lineup of Sony E and FE mount lenses. This means you can attach a professional fast 1.8 or 1.4 lens for great low light photos and beautiful bokeh photos. Upgrading a lens is always more bang for buck than upgrading a body. Construction. Overall the camera seems well built and sturdy. It's not waterproof but good enough to handle everyday use. It would not handle serious drops however. Wireless. The wireless feature is an added bonus that most entry-level DSLRs don't have. Download the Sony Playmemories App and you can use your phone to wirelessly transfer files, use your phone as a remote, and as a secondary screen. Improvements in the Sony app has seen much better features and speed over the years. Apps. The apps on the camera are something mostly exclusive to Sony Mirrorless. They're a welcome addition. Some of the best ones are the remote shooting app, the touchless shutter, and numerous time lapse apps. Cons. LOW LIGHT. The main problem with this camera is the ISO quality has been superseded by its competitors due to the sensor's age. The photos become noisy at ISO 800 and above, which is a common ISO used in indoors situations. In low light you absolutely need some flash to fill in the light. Even in RAW shooting the low light, you'll deal with noisy photos. You can always correct some of it in post but the camera's age and limitations do show. The A6300 and A6500 are improvements in the ISO and image quality. The camera is still good for hobby and non-professional work but the A6000 is definitely not good enough for paid or professional work! Battery life. The battery life on all mirrorless cameras are still abysmal, the A6000 included. Sony has upgraded the battery capacity in the newest gen 3 A7 cameras however they have not made it over to the APSC line. The problem is, without a reflex mirror, whenever the camera is on, the sensor is on. The sensor not only takes the photos, it lets you "see" through the viewfinder or LCD. The consequence is the camera is constantly sucking juice when it's on. With regular SLRs, the sensor is only on when you shoot and a SLR will last you several days without charge with normal use. I always keep a spare battery and an external charger around. If you buy this camera (or any other mirrorless camera), I suggest you do the same. Lens compatibility. Even though this works with Sony lenses, unlike the A7 series, the A6000 is not great with many Canon to Sony mount adapters. The performance of non-Sony lenses were always a toss up even with the A7 series but as the A6000 is not a professional camera, most companies like Metabones and Sigma won't be updating their adapters to work well with this camera. If you have Canon or Sigma lenses, expect only partial support with the A6000. Overall this is a fantastic camera. In 2018, it is a bit dated by its competitors and newer versions from Sony. However its role has changed to an entry-level camera and your expectations should match as such. For the price, it is fantastic for a beginner who wants more serious higher quality photos than cell phone cameras. Additionally, professionals regularly use this camera for personal work, or as a backup camera since it can accept professional Sony lenses. Finally, the size is perfect as a travel camera. ... show more
