A valuable purchase, some advantages!

Sony cameras are what I've used for the majority of my photography career. Before that, there was the A500, and after that, the A77, and I decided to switch from a DSLR to a mirrorless one because I don't sacrifice quality in the slightest, but this camera is much smaller, lighter in weight, and, most importantly, doesn't look like a professional one, which allows me to advise everyone to shoot freely on the street:) I really recommend it, and although being from 2022, the camera doesn't feel dated at all; there were updates with the A6300/A6500, but those were focused on improving video quality; the A6000, however, continues to hold its own against the competition in terms of still image quality.

Pros

In the first place, ergonomics. The Sony A6000 is more portable and easier to use than a bulky DSLR or a tiny compact. As a result of the excellent grip, the carcass may be held with a single hand even when a large lens is attached. One of the a6000's benefits is its light weight, I suppose. It's a lot more compact than a standard DSLR. It is comfortable to wear on a belt and does not cause any neck strain after extended periods of usage. Secondly, the camera's exceptional quality is emphasized by the inclusion of a viewfinder, a feature not found on all mirrorless models. Use it even when the sun is directly overhead; the screen will automatically darken. It's high resolution, and it shows the image as it appears in the camera's matrix, so you can see how your final frame will look before you take it. Because of a built-in proximity sensor in the viewfinder, the screen image will automatically shift to your face when you bring the camera close to your eyes. Third, interchangeable lenses are available for this camera, just like with DSLRs. The E mount is compatible with lenses from various manufacturers via adapters as well as those designed specifically for the mount. In addition to the whale lens, I recommend picking up a native 50mm/1.8 lens with a stabilizer, as neither Kenon nor Nikon offer equivalents. The camera's matrix is 24 megapixels in size, and despite the high resolution, it produces very little noise at an ISO range of 3200. Fifth, this camera, like all new ones, has Wi-Fi. However, only Sony cameras allow you to install applications that extend your capabilities, such as a simple time-lapse shooting app. As an added bonus, you can take images without having to connect anything to your phone beforehand. Using your mobile device's display and controls, you may operate the camera from afar. Sixth, the focusing is lightning quick and, at least with the included lenses, it performs admirably when shooting in motion.

Cons

1. The screen cannot be rotated a full 180 degrees, making it impossible to use as a selfie stick or protect it from drops. The matrix attracts dust quickly, so you'll need to learn how to clean it yourself if you don't want to constantly pay someone else to do it. Thirdly, the battery isn't very strong. If you want to save money, I suggest buying a second battery; if you buy it in China, it will be three times less expensive than the original.
