I love this camera. I've always been into photography, I loved taking pictures of everything and everyone around me, and this camera was the perfect beginner-friendly camera for me.. It's not intimidating to use. With the right lens, my photos have been some of my favorite memories I have. The best part is being able to send my photos directly to my phones!! (I've had 3 since I bought the camera, all Samsung flagships, for reference) Being able to edit and/or share them is a breeze for me. My friends and family love when I have my camera with me for the holidays and events because it's just not the same as a cellphone picture.

My friends and family love when I have my camera with me for the holidays and events because it's just not the same as a cellphone picture. The body of this camera isn't heavy, the modes are easy to switch to, the lenses are easy to change, the flash is pretty decent, and the screen is a pretty good size (although it scratches easily, I found out late that there's screen protectors for it). Also, I like that the screen can be pulled up or down for when taking pictures at higher or lower angles. I've had this camera for a few years and it hasn't slowed down on me (shutter-wise, I was warned it happens). Also, getting to know the camera with all of its modes has been fairly easy, again, super beginner-friendly. So, I highly recommend it if you can still get your hands on one (I've heard they're becoming almost like a collectors item because so many models have come out since then, feel free to kindly correct me if I'm wrong) **AS FAR AS MY REVIEW PHOTO- I know it's a simple (I also wanted something recent) drink photo that doesn't show much of the quality, but most of my photos are of family so this was better for me. Take my word for it, this camera is the bomb.

I love Sony products. Especially when it comes down to cameras. In the past I have purchased three different Sony cameras. Sony cameras are durable and it’s functionality is excellent. Every photo that you take tells a story. With the combination of the crisp clear images to the colors of every photo that you take it captures the essence of the moment making the memories come alive through every picture that you take. If you want high definition images. Sony will always over deliver and meet your expectations time and time again and guaranteed every time! I highly recommend the Sony camera for all your precious memories.

A very good buy for a lot of basic photo applications

The Sony A6000 is the entry level now "obsolete" APS-C mirrorless body. It has a very giood electronic viewfinder and movable screen. I use mine for work type photos and with vintage lenses with adapters. This camera workes very well for this. I bought my first 6000 when my Nex 6 died. I have an use in which I take abotu 200 photos a day and my first A6000 had a few failures including a briedf fallure of the shutter to operate. This happened at a shutter count of abotu 300,000 operations so I bought this one to replace it. I used some contact cleaner on the shutter and failed adjustment knob wiht the result I am not used the replacement yet. I have ofund I do not need the features of the 6100 for what I do with this camera so I get the SOny system at minimla cost/

Fit for purpose

So after having used cameras for over 58 years should know something about cameras. This would be my third Sony one professional. Now to my findings on this with a E3.5-5.6/pz 16-50 oss lens. The camera is balance excellent with this lens and fits my hand perfect with the thumb pad spot on for my small chubby hands. Having been in QA and Quality assurance most of my life I know how to assess a product, the controls are easy to get to and have a nice quality feel on their operation I always use my own settings it's P,A,S,M and MR that I use. Some operations like deleting any photos can be a bit time consuming and if one function could have done this it would have been better. The zoom lens is noisy and rattles a lot which makes it feel a bit on the cheap side the ... MoreSo after having used cameras for over 58 years should know something about cameras.

Some operations like deleting any photos can be a bit time consuming and if one function could have done this it would have been better. The zoom lens is noisy and rattles a lot which makes it feel a bit on the cheap side the zoom lever on the lens is not smooth so takes some getting use to. Having a non touch screen is good no messy finger prints on the monitor EVF is good I only ever take pictures with this method only downside it's fixed to revolve so 90 degrees would have been nice. Hot shoe, pity a blank was not fitted as that keeps it clean and looks tidy. Sutter is very noisy when taken photos maybe all the focal plane shutter cameras I owned over 50 years were never this noisyAs to operation of focusing that is good both in AF and manual also having manual control on all other settings are good. I cannot review as regarding movies because I never use a still camera for this Over picture quality is good for the lens. The slot for SD is terrible the only way of releasing it is with tweezers. Not having a battery charger is silly and having to charge through the small socket, No small socket with a cable going in and out will not last very long on gold contacts.So what this camera has to offer is good and I am pleased with the camera for my needs and as a user maybe take on average 20 to 200 shots a week is fine. I would recommend this Sony A6000 and for a camera to be in production for so many years speaks for it's self.

Great camera, great price, solid size in 2022!!

Great camera for a great price! Very solid for any enthusiast or professional. It is a really good camera. It does have very few shortcomings and give tough competition to any camera in it's class even in 2022. I use this for sports photography, portraits, and street photography. For all of these scenarios, it works really well. Especially if you know what you're doing and you tinker a little in the settings too.PROS:Fast autofocus11fps burst shooting, isn't the most fastest, but it doesn't feel slow not even a bit, incredibly good burst shootingEasy settings menuHidden eye auto focus option, very handy for portraits179+25 autofocus pointsImage quality is fantasticshoots both RAW and jpegCONS:EVF is very sensitive, and sometimes lag on startupLow light ... MoreGreat camera for a great price!

But if you can get batteries, which you can get a 5-pack on amazon, you'll be completely fine.

Great mirrorless camera

I bought this a few months ago as a kit with two lenses, and then added the Sony 70-350G super telephoto as I wanted to take wildlife photos. I am really impressed with how easy it is to use and how light it feels compared to my old DSLR camera. All of this means that it is not a huge weight to carry around when "out in the wild". I am very impressed with the quality of the photos - the combination of this body and the super telephoto lens meant that even the scales on a lizard at 20 metres showed up clearly. My only tiny gripe is that the sound quality on the video setting is not brilliant, but then I suppose it is OK for a built-in mike.

Loved so much I bought it twice!

I purchased this same camera about 4-5 years ago. Im extremely rough on it and take thousands of images a year. My shudder went on my old one, so it wasnt really a surpise when it did. I initially purchased the alpha a7ii as a replacement, but im not a super camera tech savy person and didnt like the idea that the a7ii didnt have the built in flash. I love the a6000 is small, light, has a built in flash. I can grab it and snap without having to worry about anything. The a7ii was bigger, heavier, the idea i needed to attach an external flash to use it, just really bothered me. So I did end up returning the a7ii and repurchasing the 6000 again. I am very very happy I did. I love my a6000. The only issue I have had with both a6000 cameras I have had now, I take ... MoreI purchased this same camera about 4-5 years ago.

I am very very happy I did. I love my a6000. The only issue I have had with both a6000 cameras I have had now, I take pictures of animals. I snap pictures quickly and repeatedly. If i snap several in a row(maybe 10-15 in a rapid row) the camera wiill freeze(not actually freeze,but it just wont take the picture anymore). It has happened with both, so I know know it wasnt just my old camera. I have to stop and turn it off and turn it back on. That would literally be my only complaint. I love this little camera

Still going strong after 8 years

I bought this in 2014 because it was light, it had good reviews, and the viewfinder was in the upper left-hand corner (viewed from the back), allowing my nose to stick to the side, avoiding the screen. I've used this when backpacking and for travel, when low weight really matters. I bought the body only and have used the Sony 18-135mm lens, the Sony 35mm lens, Rokinon 12mm and 20mm manual lenses, and the Laowa 65mm macro lens. For the Sony lenses, the camera firmware does an excellent job at creating JPEG files free of distortion and vignetting. The main disadvantages of the camera are rate of power consumption from the battery, lack of weather sealing, and lack of in-body stabilization. Vloggers report overheating when recording video. Using the 12 mm Rokinon lens ... MoreI bought this in 2014 because it was light, it had good reviews, and the viewfinder was in the upper left-hand corner (viewed from the back), allowing my nose to stick to the side, avoiding the screen.

Using the 12 mm Rokinon lens I have made 24x36 prints that preserve an amazing amount of detail. Reviews of the Sony 16-50 mm lens have been lackluster, but I don't own this lens. I have taken 28,000 shots with this camera, and like it a lot for shooting stills. I'll stick with the a6*** series Sony cameras when it comes time to upgrade, but I don't see the need to spend the extra bucks while the a6000 still does its job. I have used it for astrophotography with good results. If you want to shoot still photos, this camera will probably meet your needs unless you are a professional photographer.

The camera to step up to from phones!!

For the last 20 years I’ve always chased the best camera phones available ( except Samsung) and in that chase I’ve always bought the peripherals, lenses , Shiftcam, polar pro lite etc…. I was just about to add the new ultra lenses from Shiftcam to the set up and then reflected, what am I doing??? God, get a real camera….. so did my research (I haven’t got a massive budget) and came across reviews and videos for the A6000. Well, took the plunge, added 2 other lenses, the SEL35F18 (fantastic) and the 50-200mm (not so fantastic but adequate) I’m so glad I took that plunge and ok, it’s a 2014 camera that’s got its pitfalls (video) I want a camera for stills. So if I really give this a go then maybe I will step up to another model but right now it’s perfect camera for my ... MoreFor the last 20 years I’ve always chased the best camera phones available ( except Samsung) and in that chase I’ve always bought the peripherals, lenses , Shiftcam, polar pro lite etc….

And tomorrow night I can hopefully get my first ever decent moon shot that isn’t just an algorithm from a super computer!
