Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Simply one of the best cameras I have ever used, and for the price, you can't beat it. I bought the package deal with the standard kit lens and the 55-210mm lens, and especially with the 55-210mm, I've taken some of the best photos I've ever taken, and I've only scratched the surface of what this camera can do! What I love: --Compact size and weight! At work, I use a Nikon D300s, and the weight difference is amazing. The Sony a6000 is so light, it's just a joy to carry around and use! --Tons of features! Auto modes for beginning photographers, but it has the ability to go all manual for more advanced photographers --FAST shutter! I mean fast. Up to 11 frames per second! --PEAKING on manual focus!! This means that when you look at the view screen or optical viewfinder on manual focus, whatever is in focus gets a slight red outline. Fantastic feature! I haven't mastered the art of tack sharp focus yet, but this helps me be sure that I'm in focus! --View screen on the back can tilt up or down, so you can have the camera higher or lower, and still be able to see the screen --Programmable buttons that you can set to work just about any feature of the camera. Use Auto Focus Lock alot? Just set one of the buttons, and have instant access to that feature! --Face programming! Shooting a birthday, and want to be sure the birthday boy or girl's face is always the focus? Store a photo of their face in the camera, and from then on, whenever the camera sees that face, it will lock on. Amazing. --Auto Eye Focus! Taking a portrait, and want to make sure the eyes are in focus? Use auto eye focus, and the camera will automatically find the eye and focus accordingly. What I don't like so much (but these are really just nitpicky, since I pretty much love everything...) --Kit lens doesn't seem to be as good a quality as the 55-210mm. You might want to consider a different lens. --Screen on the back is hard to see in sunlight. Luckily, the camera also has an optical viewfinder, and you can look there to take photos, or even review photos you've taken. Everything you see on the back screen you can see in the viewfinder. --Learning curve. This has a gigantic menu, and lots of buttons and things, so it can be a chore to learn. My advice? Find one of Gary Fong's videos online or at sonya6000.com. --Battery could last a little longer, IMHO So many fantastic features in one camera! Sorry to gush, but I'm just in love with my Sony a6000. You absolutely cannot get a better camera for the money. Great job, Sony!
