Sony A6000 review The Sony Alpha A6000 is a mid-range mirrorless camera with an APS-C sized sensor. Announced in February 2014 and positioned between the NEX-5T and Alpha A7, it's officially the successor to the NEX-6, although in some respects it cou...
Very high resolution 24 Megapixel sensor, Most effective continuous AF in its class, Fast continuous shooting at 11fps, Fast single AF, Good viewfinder and tilting screen, 1080p video with full manual control, Built-in Wifi with NFC and downloadable apps, Broad degree of customisation.
Laborious process to set single AF area position, No touchscreen. Screen only tilts, not fully articulated, Very basic Wifi remote control and no GPS tagging, Apps sometimes feel like reinstating features, No 3.5mm microphone jack, No leveling gauge, No miniature effect for movies, No silent shutter option.
The Sony A6000 is a good solid interchangeable lens camera with one major advantage over rivals: effective continuous AF which works pretty much anywhere on the frame for stills or movies. If you're shooting stills, it also works at the top continuous...
