There are some variations, but tolerable on the whole.

Decided to oppose the comment to the previous speaker. So. This camera is definitely suitable for beginner videographers to start - you can wind up a flat profile for subsequent painting in a video editor without much "dancing with a tambourine". Great video picture. This is where all the pluses end. Photo quality. don't want to comment. For a photo, you can safely take Olympus omd 10, fuj xt-10 (this one will generally be "space" in the photo comparison). By the way, these devices also shoot…

Pros
  • Great video for beginners.
Cons
  • Ergonomics, matrix, menu, control.

Best I have ever used, great product for anyone!

Before the A6000, there was NEX-3 (I bought the system to try, and in general mirrorless cameras). I have never regretted the purchase. The camera suits everyone. Image quality, functionality, size, control, electronic viewfinder. You won't find better for this money. It makes no sense to buy a DSLR, it is larger, heavier, it’s hard to take a DSLR with you on a trip, it’s uncomfortable to wear every day, and this camera fits in your pocket. The electronic viewfinder is much more convenient and…

Pros
  • 1. Quality. Works great in rain or snow 2. High working ISO. I shoot up to 1600, you can get a sane image from RAW 3. In any mode except Auto / Superior Auto, you can set the upper ISO limit 4. With manual optics, focusing is a pleasure. Focus Peaking + Zoom in EVF - work comfortably. I photographed sports competitions on manual optics, there are more hits in sharpness than misses, and than autofocus on an entry-level DSLR 5. A lot of phase detection autofocus points. Works across the entire plane, and not like on Canon / Nikon DSLRs of the initial, amateur class 6. Phase detection autofocus when shooting video 7. High burst speed - 10 frames per second, again, it’s convenient for manual optics, you can make a series and turn the sharpness ring, then choose a good frame 8. Through the adapter you can put almost any optics, a short working length 9. The exposure meter and Focus Peaking work in any mode, with any optics, and not like on Nikon - the exposure meter turns off if the optics are without a chip and only the M mode works (models up to 7xxx) 10. No EVF lag compared to NEX-6 11. Very light and small 12. Multi-frame noise reduction 13. Ability to install additional applications. (Yes, and it works on Android, you can find a few custom programs for it on the Internet, except for the official ones from Sony) 14. Flip screen 15. Electronic front curtain. Reduces shutter lag and increases shutter life 16. Lots of stabilized optics in the E-mount park. For example SEL50F18. For Canon/Nikon, there is no analogue of 50mm with image stabilization. 17. Quality kit lens. It shows itself best at 18mm F5.6. There are problems with focusing, but most likely I got such a sample 18. It is possible to control from a smartphone. The setting of all camera parameters works, as well as zoom, if the optics with a motorized zoom
Cons
  • 1. The most noticeable drawback for me is that phase autofocus does not work with adapters for other optics (LA-EA1, EF-NEX and others), phase autofocus requires an adapter with a translucent mirror, which is very expensive. In the A6300 and A7M2, this flaw was fixed with a software ate, but this camera was forgotten. 2. Expensive optics, and there are not enough of them. For example, finding a 50mm F1.4 with autofocus is unrealistic, it simply does not exist. Only via adapter with A-mount 3. Something needs to clean the matrix. There is no mirror, all the dust settles on the matrix. And it settles a lot. The built-in cleaning system will not always save

Reliable purchase, guaranteed to be a good purchase.

Bought as a replacement Sony NEX-5N. I am more than satisfied with the device for this money, I chose between it and the Fujifilm X-E2, although the fujik is more "pedigreed", and the assembly is Japanese, but the price is 50-55k, autofocus is slower, non-rotating screen, uncomfortable grip, heavier. In general, for the same money, I took Sony with 2 kit lenses + 35mm 1.8f. Although I must say that whale lenses are not so hot, 16-50 is not at all, 18-55 was better, 50-210 was still back and…

Pros
  • Important ones for me: + Autofocus speed is noticeably faster compared to the NEX-5. + Viewfinder, something that was missing before. It decides in the sun and in general I mostly only look at it, on the screen only if I shoot from a low point. + Comfortable grip. + Buttons and wheels are customizable.
Cons
  • - Weak battery and charging the camera only via USB (in time ~ 4-5 hours). It is decided by buying a separate charge and a pair of batteries on ibei. - Lacks quick focus point selection.

Revainrating 5 out of 5

The ratio of price and quality is very pleasing, I will repeat the purchase.

An excellent camera that came to replace heavy and bulky DSLRs for everyday shooting. The price is fully consistent with the quality. The only "minus" - the battery charge is not always enough for a day. In the device itself, charging is slow (~ 2-3 hours from full zero to 100%), you must immediately buy a replaceable battery and better external charging. The second nuance is the strap that comes with the kit. It is completely inconvenient and cumbersome. Thirdly, it is better to buy a…

Pros
  • Compactness, speed, image quality and WiFi with NFC - allows you to control the camera from your phone and transfer photos to it. Excellent matrix - shooting at night and in conditions of lack of light is a pleasure!
Cons
  • Small (capacity) battery. absolutely NO lenses in the kit. Yes, a whale will cost you less than a carcass and the same lens separately, but you will get no lens for cheap. Do you need it? ;-) The screen scratches quickly. Light and small ;-)

Beyond praise! The product definitely deserves your attention.

I've been shooting with Sony cameras for a long time. Before that, there was the A500, then the A77, and so I decided to change the DSLR to a mirrorless one, because I don’t lose quality at all, but this camera is much smaller and lighter in size and weight, and, importantly, it doesn’t look like a professional one, which allows I advise everyone to shoot freely on the street :) I advise everyone, and despite the fact that the camera is from 2022, it is still not outdated, although there were…

Pros
  • 1. Ergonomics. The Sony A6000 is much smaller than a DSLR, and although it is not as small as a compact, it is much more convenient to work with. All thanks to a good grip: you can hold the carcass even with a large lens with one hand. Well, the weight of the camera can also be attributed to the pluses of the a6000. It is much smaller than a conventional DSLR. When worn for a long time on a belt, it does not pull the neck. 2. The presence of a viewfinder, which not all mirrorless cameras have, as it were, emphasizes the high class of the camera. In sunny weather, when the screen becomes blind, you can use it! It is of very high quality, while you see the picture directly from the camera matrix in it, which makes it possible to understand how your frame will turn out in the end even before pressing the shutter button. The viewfinder has a built-in proximity sensor, so when you bring the camera up to your face, the image on the screen will move to it. 3. This camera, like DSLRs, has removable lenses. You can use both native optics for the E mount, and install lenses from other manufacturers through adapters. I advise you to buy a native 50 mm 1.8 lens with a stabilizer in addition to the whale lens - neither Kenon nor Nikon have analogues to such a lens! 4. The camera matrix has a resolution of 24 megapixels, and despite the high resolution, it does not make much noise, the ISO 3200 value is quite working. 5. This camera, like any modern one, has Wi-Fi, but only on Sony cameras you can, like on a smartphone, install applications that expand your capabilities, for example, a convenient application for shooting time-lapse. You can also catch pictures on your phone immediately without wires. You can control the camera from your smartphone using it as a screen and remote control. 6. Very fast autofocus, works great when shooting on the move, at least with native lenses.
Cons
  • 1. The screen is not rotatable enough, it cannot be rotated 180 degrees to take a selfie, nor can it be rotated to cover it from damage 2. Dust sticks to the matrix quickly, you need to learn how to clean it yourself so as not to give money for cleaning every time 3. Weak battery. I recommend purchasing an additional battery, you can Chinese, it will cost three times cheaper than the original one.

Best price for this product, will buy more!

I bought the Sony A6000 camera because it is small and light, but very comfortable to use and allows you to take excellent pictures. Compared to a mid-range DSLR, it focuses very quickly when using the screen, and it also allows you to track the movement of the subject! Shooting my daughter is now a pleasure: all the photos are sharp. I haven't explored all the features yet, but even in auto mode it shoots great! The only drawback for me is the small zoom of the kit lens, but I was advised to…

Pros
  • excellent quality of photos taken while driving, light, comfortable, easy to use
Cons
  • small zoom

Not my best purchase, could have found something else.

My first camera. Satisfied, but over the years its level has outgrown. Now I gave it to my friends, I took the 6300 instead, and now the A7III full frame. Sony is a hero in my eyes: they have taken major engineering steps in the development of digital photography. If you have money: I would recommend taking the 6400 right away, this is an almost perfect camera, except perhaps without stabilization. Against its background, 6000 looks damp. Perhaps you should take a look at the 6100. The 6100…

Pros
  • An entry-level camera, I have been using it since 2022 for both photos and videos. - Lightweight and compact - Works well in auto mode - Interchangeable lenses: you can start collecting, and then upgrade to an older model -What-no built-in flash - In low light it shoots decently - up to 1600-2022 iso - Ability to upload pictures and even videos to your phone and immediately upload them to social networks - Good autofocus system. There is even autofocus on the eyes and a good follower. - Matrix as in older models in terms of resolution: 6000x4000 pixels maximum - Excellent picture with good lenses. My set: Sigma 56 1.4 (portrait, good in the picture, but autofocus junk), Samyang 12 2.0 (manual, landscape, astrophoto), Zeiss 16-70 4.0 (zoom, does not fully justify its price, a little dark) - Reliable. For 4 years, almost only rubbed slightly, but did not lose fighting qualities. He was with him in the desert, and in frost around -30, and on the beach - he lives. - With a Samyang lens - excellent astrophotos. I caught both meteors and northern lights, everything is super. A good camera for a beginner, although older models: 6400 and maybe 6100 are noticeably better. The low rating is only because of this - in comparison with older models, the shortcomings of this one are visible.
Cons
  • - No microphone input. For the sake of better sound from the camera, I took the on-camera from Sony on a hot shoe, there are no other options - No headphone output - Overheating. When you try to write hour-two-hour concerts and performances, this is a real problem, in the middle the camera will die from heat and stop working. Already the 6300 has practically no such problem. At the same time, recommendations: move the screen away from the body when shooting video, switch the camera to airplane mode, use a cage (for rigging videographers) for heat dissipation. So it lives a little longer, but still you can’t count on long continuous video shooting (two-hour concert). - In mp4 mode, a small selection of shooting options - you can’t post a video without distortion on Instagram stories, because there is no standard 16:9. Other camera video codecs do not have such a problem, but they already require post-processing in DaVinci Resolve / Premiere, and sometimes you want to throw the video directly to the social network You can embed video directly from the camera into an Instagram post, but for the sake of Instagram stories, you will have to get confused. - The screen is not touch. Doesn't rotate 180 degrees - Dust on the matrix - yes, there is a problem. I always go with a pear, blow off dust particles. - The battery drains quickly. I wore 3-4 pieces on trips, if you need to write a video for 2 hours, you need to have a spare one. - No slowmo, no S Log mode for video. - Timelapse - in a separate application - Whale 16-50 is so-so. It is better to immediately look at prime from Sigma, Samyang or zoom from Tamron. But when buying external lenses, you need to understand that the picture will be good, but the proprietary autofocus only works with Sony lenses, you may overpay for Zeiss because of this.

Perfect product for any user!

My wife and I went to the store for a camera from another eminent manufacturer and from a more expensive segment. Having held the Sony a-6000 in my hands, doubts crept in about the correctness of the choice. They left home empty-handed. We sat down at the computer, read reviews, looked at sample photos . The next evening the whole family was happy with the purchase!

Pros
  • Very handy and compact camera with APS-C matrix! Many settings, thanks to which even beginners in the "auto" mode can get great photos. High speed shooting -11 frames. Amazing autofocus! WiFi and NFC! Very high quality video!
Cons
  • So far not identified.

Return my money! Disgusting product and poor quality.

I bought the camera a couple of years ago, for a vacation, in order to take pictures of my family, the sea, landscapes, and most importantly! so that the quality of the pictures is better than on the phone. The choice fell on this camera with a 16-55 whale lens. I’m not talking about those characteristics, I’m not interested, it was only the quality of the picture that was interesting - which is not on this device! from the word in general. Full SOAP. There was an idea that something was wrong,

Pros
  • - light weight and all.
Cons
  • - picture quality - complex incomprehensible menu - Randomly takes a frame after turning off - freezes when transferring photos via wi-fi

A valuable purchase, some advantages!

I’ll make a reservation right away that everything written by me is the opinion of an amateur photo with quite a modest experience. Prior to that, I actively used only sony a390 with a ccd matrix and occasionally 550d. And the review will be not only about the a6000 but also about mirrorless cameras too. The camera has been in use for about six months. Around the second day, I took off the strap from it, on the third or fourth I stopped carrying it in my photo bag, the camera is so comfortable

Pros
  • + Decent shooting quality, including high ISO (as for me, for a home album 6400 from equal, with a not very slow shutter speed it will do) +Fast and precise automation + With enough light, fast and accurate AF + Working hours (more details in the description) + Video quality (but not sound, although what could be expected here) + Super convenient size (The best camera is the one at hand)) + Viewfinder, with exposure and flu in real time. Yes, and without delay, almost as long as there is enough light. +11 frames per second (How much would such a DSLR cost?))
Cons
  • -Overheating during video, although I didn’t really encounter such a problem, I often interrupt the recording myself, but I need to keep it in my head. + -Absolutely no ates from sony, it's time to buy a6300( + -Park optics. - Price of optics ( tamron 18-200 nikon f-15000, tamron 18-200 sony e-23000)

It functions perfectly, nothing unusual.

In general, if you shoot - only PHOTO. You will receive a certain analogue of the Nikon D7100. With inconvenient controls and meager battery life. Buy bat. pack or battery pack. Bag. Everything, she is not capable of more. For example, when shooting a video, turn off just at the place when your baby starts performing in kindergarten (well, or school). Until then, everyone will be recorded. But on it turn off from overheating. And that's it. It will get cold. At the same time, I am aware of a…

Pros
  • Good picture and color reproduction. But only on fixes. On expensive or not so through adapters.
Cons
  • 1. Battery. This is the worst part of this machine. One has only to turn on the video recording - that's it! The battery is dead. Moreover, this happens with some incomprehensible arbitrary interval. Every time it's different. 2. Heats up. Terribly heated in video recording mode. Just a disaster. Heating of such force that it is possible to warm up on the back panel, which is under the screen, products. 3. Ergonomics. More precisely, its absence. Everything seemed to be done to ruin the lives of their owners. 4. The quality of the whale lens is creepy. Throw it in the trash right away, where he is dear. Don't take anything. If you decide to take this miracle - only a carcass.

I am amazed! It was definitely worth the money!

We took this camera to shoot a small child and travel. We wanted to buy a high-quality camera, but at the same time not very bulky and with fast focusing, because it is difficult to catch a child. Initially, they wanted a SLR camera, but the sellers of the store said that this was a new level of cameras and that it was not inferior in quality to DSLRs. Today we gave the camera a test drive, went for an autumn walk. The result exceeded our expectations.

Pros
  • Compact and easy to use, fast focusing, excellent color reproduction.
Cons
  • Weak battery

It can't be worse! A waste of money.

I bought it as a universal "pocket version of a DSLR" I expected that I would carry it everywhere with me, like, I quickly took it out, clicked it, quickly removed it As a result, it turned out that the complete 16-50 lens is an incredible brake! Can't wait until it breaks down I had high hopes for the built-in WiFi, but it falls off all the time! And, almost immediately! Getting it out quickly is the same problem: at first the grip seemed convenient to me, but it turned out to be not only…

Pros
  • 24 megapixels Noise within reason Focuses fairly quickly
Cons
  • Lens 16-50 brake: when the device is turned on / off, I constantly wait until it is "activated" The battery drains too fast, if you buy extra, they are very expensive WiFi keeps disconnecting Overpriced

What you need, a cool purchase, I advise you.

I wanted to take the A6300, but something Sony completely inflated prices - from 100 with one 16-50 for almost the same A6000 - it's very expensive even $. This toy is not worth more than $ 1000, I don’t like to say “it’s not worth it” because it’s stupid - the market is the market, but in this case it’s a complete chaos with a price of $ (I’m not talking about the $ exchange rate !). I took Sony only because of the video, if the video was not needed, I would take fuji - they have the best…

Pros
  • Good body potential, small size, shooting speed. With some stretch, not bad whale optics.
Cons
  • There is no dust protection - the camera sucks dust like a vacuum cleaner (in addition to changing the lens), but this is a UPC and the dust immediately sticks to the matrix and not to the mirror! Dear glasses, if you expect to get a very good picture (like "large ones") NOT on a manual lens, then you only need Zeiss - see how much it will cost ;-)

Perfect purchase for me, exactly what I was looking for!

The overall impression is amazing! I have never regretted buying it! I wanted a professional quality photo and that the camera was always with me, it has everything, and simplicity for a beginner, and great potential for further development, and size, despite the fact that it is small, but the nose will wipe a lot of DSLRs.

Pros
  • fast focus super video small size, comfortable grip, fits in any bag 24 MP interchangeable optics
Cons
  • -battery capacity would be more, but solvable

Just super, the product is made wonderfully, very satisfied.

Camera jpeg makes good colors up to ISO1000. In terms of jpeg, the only competitor is Fujik. Higher ISOs are best handled in RAWs. 3200 in RAV, quite working. AF speed is fast, there are few misses. Compared to the NEX series, heaven and earth. Camera control is great. All functions are at your fingertips on customizable buttons. The video button is inconvenient to turn off. Working with manual lenses is a joy. All the advanced features like the pros have. On autofocus, convenient manual…

Pros
  • Of all the mirrorless cameras today, the best camera in all respects, competing only with Canon DSLRs. The rest are very far away. Including Fuji. The speed from turning on the camera to the first frame with induced sharpness is 1.5 seconds.
Cons
  • With a relatively low price per carcass, you will be forced to acquire expensive optics and accessories with an unpredictable amount of costs in the end. Accessories are too available, but the choice of optics is small.

I didn³'t expect the quality to be this good.

A couple of months ago I bought a camera to take pictures of my daughter, who was just born. My wife and I liked the camera, it is a pleasure to carry with you. Excellent image quality, very clear, compact, comfortable, not big, because you have to constantly take it with you for a walk to capture the best moments. Also good control, different modes are easily configured, fast autofocus. Panoramic view creates the illusion of real space. The display allows you to see the picture as it turns out

Pros
  • Multifunctional, comfortable, lightweight. The sensitivity of the matrix pleases. Shooting mode 11 frames per second.
Cons
  • The picture blurs when moving the camera quickly.
