Best Mirrorless Camera 2014
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Sony A6000 is one of the best mirrorless cameras in 2014. The build quality of the camera body is excellent and the button layout has a lot of customization options. When paired with a fast E-mount prime lens such as the Zeiss 35mm 2.8 or the Sony 50mm 1.8 OSS the camera produces excellent images that rival or surpass results from other competing mirrorless/DSLR cameras that use an APS-C size sensor. Video quality is also best in class. The autofocus is extremely fast and accurate, even in continuous mode an area where competing mirrorless cameras fare poorly. The only drawbacks if any are the relatively poor battery life when compared to traditional DSLRs, a common characteristic of mirrorless cameras which use an electronic viewfinder.

Amazing Camera
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The more you work with digital cameras, the more you realize how important accurate focus is. What makes the Sony A6000 stand out is how fast and how accurately it focuses. I am attaching a head crop from a casual shot of my daughter at the swimming pool, first day I had this camera; lens was a Sony/Zeiss 16-70 F4. Focus just doesn't get any better. There's the new A6300 which is even faster, and with a few more options including S Log 2 and 3 and 4k video, but for hundreds of dollars more. On good thing, the 6300 does us the favor of causing some discounts on the A-6000 that make it just an incredible value. I also have and recommend the Nikon D5500...if it is fairly comparably priced. Either of these cameras regularly produces shots of a quality unknown on any digital camera only 10 years ago. And for both, excellent lenses are available at pretty reasonable prices. But if I had to choose only one, it would be the A6000.

Great camera for pro/beginner
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.What can I say this camera is by far the best camera I have ever had it's amazing. This camera right here is competing against 1,000$ camera. The reason why I love it so much it's cause how small it is compared to normal dslr. Dslr are just so big to carry around and just gets annoying of carrying around when I go to family events and just makes me not wanna take a picture but with the Sony a6000 I take it every were I go now it's so small and portable. It's take pictures at 24.3 megapixels most camera are at 18-20 megapixels. & another thing that caught my attention of this camera is the frames per second most dslr camera the "higher end" camera tend to have 4-6 frames per second wich is nothing compared to the a6000 the a6000 is at 11 frames per second and he reason why this is a must is cause I take a bunch of baby pictures and we all know how much they move so when I use this a6000 at 11 frames per seconds it takes so manny quick pictures so manny that I never miss the shot apose to a normal dslr might have to retake the picture a couple of times.

The camera works great
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So far I really like this camera...the thing I didn’t like was that it came with a 3 month free trial of adobe included with this purchase and when I was going to activate it, it said it was only valid until April 11 I bought my camera April 28! That shouldn’t even be included if I can’t use it!!! It was a disappointment

Perfect travel camera
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Purchased this camera because of its size and ability to shoot auto racing. There are a ton of features but the manual is pretty terrible at explaining them. Sony does have a good 4D focus guide on their website that can be found through TheGoogle.

An excellent choice for a small carry around
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I am a Nikon SLR user but when it came time to get a small "Walk Around" Camera I selected the Sony 6000. I am a prime lens fan and using the Sony 35 and 50 mm primes have produced images almost as sharp as my Nikons. A really nice camera with enough control to please most avid photographers.

Q: QuestionI have Sony SLT-A65 with 55mm and 300mm lenses. Can those lenses be used on the Sony a6000 or a6300?
Asked by Anonymous.
- A:Answer Hi! The Sony SLT-A65 is an A-mount type of camera while the Sony a6000 & a6300 are E-mount type cameras. The lens will not fit in. However, you may use the Sony A-mount to E-mount lens adapter: LA-EA4 or LA-EA3 to make it work. Hope this helps. -Anthony

Q: QuestionI understand I can use a Pentax lense from a non-dslr camera from 15 years ago with an adapter with the Sony a6000 mirrorless. Is that true?
Asked by Angie.
- A:Answer Yes, you can! I'm assuming that you have a Pentax "K-Mount" lens- I have a handful of them that I use with my Sony E-Mount cameras (NEX 5R, NEX 6L, A7II, and a6000). There is no official Sony adapter for these lenses, but you can find third party adapters from sellers on Amazon and eBay. Prices generally range from $15-40. I haven't had any problems with the cheaper ones versus the slightly more expensive adapters that you can find on sites like B&H Photo. For sure, you can tell a difference in build quality, so I usually rely on the reviews of other purchasers to gauge which adapters to go with. Adapters from a manufacturer like Fotodiox/Fotga have been pretty reliable for me. The lens release mechanisms on these adapters tend to be the cheapest part- it's amazing how they differ from one adapter to the next. Reading customer reviews has often helped me figure out the individual quirks of how to work the various release mechanisms. Anyways, I have successfully used Pentax SMC-M and SMC-A "K-Mount" lenses such as the 50mm f/1.4, 50mm f1.7, 200mm f/4, 135mm f/2.5, 35mm f/2.8 and the 28mm f/2.8. Just keep in mind that these adapters and the lenses you attach to them (and thus the camera) will not have autofocus! This is strictly manual focus when using them with your a6000. I recommend turning on the focus peaking function (areas in focus will be "highlighted" in your choice of color- red, yellow or white) on your a6000 as well as the manual focus magnifier (you can assign one of the custom function buttons to turn on the focus magnifier which will "zoom in" on an area so that you can be sure that certain details are in sharp focus) to make it easier on yourself. It would be best to use vintage manual focus lenses on subjects that you can keep still (portraits, landscapes, macro) and stick to modern autofocus lenses for taking pics of kids and sports.

Q: QuestionDoes the lens from the nex 5 fit this camera?
Asked by Anonymous.
- A:Answer Yes, any of the lenses from the prior generation of Sony E-Mount cameras (the NEX line) will work with the a6000 as well as the a5000 and a5100. Official Sony lenses will begin with "SEL" in their model names ("SEL50F18" is the 50mm f/1.8 E-Mount lens). Sigma also makes some great E-Mount lenses in 19mm, 30mm and 60mm (all f/2.8).

Q: QuestionHow does the A6000 camera compare to my NEX 7
Asked by Pat.
- A:Answer Hi Pat, the A6000 uses phase detection with 179 focus points while the Nex7 uses contrast detection. Major changes in the camera as well would be the WiFi capability. It also supports applications that can be installed in the camera. A6000 has multi interface shoe where standard hotshoe accessories will work. Nex7 on the other hand uses minolta hotshoe. -Zander

Q: Questioncan i use maxxum minolta lenses with the a6000
Asked by george.
- A:Answer Yes, you can, but you will need a special adapter. Sony acquired its Digital Camera line from Minolta about 10 years ago. The Minolta Maxxum autofocus lenses were called "A-Mount" ("Alpha") lenses, and Sony continued to use the same mount for their initial Sony rebranded Alpha digital camera line. When they announced their mirrorless camera line (the NEX series which has since been succeeded by the a6000, a5000, a5100 and the full frame sensor a7 line), they also introduced adapters to allow use of the older "A-Mount" lenses. There are currently 4 official Sony adapters- the LA-EA1 and LA-EA2 were initially introduced for the APS-C sensor cameras (the NEX line and the a5000, a5100 and a6000 cameras). The LA-EA3 and LA-EA4 were more recently introduced to add compatibility with the newer full frame sensor a7 cameras. The odd number models (LA-EA1 and LA-EA3) allow you to use your camera to electronically control the lens' aperture. The even numbered models (LA-EA2 and LA-EA4) add a special translucent mirror to incorporate autofocus as well as aperture control. I have the LA-EA1 (it was the cheapest) and the LA-EA4 (the most expensive), and I can easily say that the LA-EA4 wins, hands-down. If you're going to invest in Minolta Maxxum lenses, you might as well take advantage of their ability to autofocus.
