Revainrating 5 out of 5

More than enough for a pro.

I'm a professional and yes, that's enough for any professional job. To qualify I have a successful photography business and have been in the industry since I was 16 years old. Now I am 32 years old. I've shot with cameras of all levels and 4 bad Nikons in a row showed me the way to the mirrorless revolution. I have had many mirrorless cameras from Olympus, Fuji and Sony. Let me just say that my Sony mirrorless cameras are my dream set. I finally got rid of Equipment Acquisition Syndrome. I currently shoot weddings, family portraits and commercials with the A7 and A6000. I owned the A7ii but sold it. In order not to intervene, they keep asking me, do you miss the speed of your Nikons? The answer is no! If you can't photograph a bride walking across the island with these very fast cameras, Nikon won't save you from a lack of skill. You shouldn't be experimenting with someone's most important memories if you can't work with these cameras. I've encountered these cameras in all sorts of challenging lighting conditions and they've never let me down. Now to the A6000. There is no better camera for the money right now. For less than $500 you can get one of the best cameras in terms of focus. The images are impeccably sharp and unlike the Nikon I never have backfocus issues and I have no trouble getting the shot right the first time, every time. The grain structure is great and I've never had a problem shooting at ISO 6400. That being said, I'm from my film days and don't mind a little grain. I'm no intoxication snob, and for those who are, if you don't push the limits of ISO, you lose great personality in your images. For those who are full frame snobs, I can achieve amazing bokeh with the A6000, especially when paired with my Zeiss 55. I no longer have to rack my back with heavy equipment and electronic viewfinders are a revelation. No more jokes because I can correct my shot in real time. Take this from someone who has spent too much on gear in the past in search of a dream system. You don't have to go broke to get unrealistic results. This camera will never let you down, especially if you know what you're doing. If you don't know what you're doing, this camera is very forgiving. Happy shooting and hope this review helps.

The Sony a6000 is by far the best camera that you can get for your buck.

Quick to use, Very fast and lightweight. Just a few quirks...

If you are not a pro, or a pro looking for a back-up/family/vacation camera, this is it.
