Reviews around size (4.45 of 5)

  • I switched from a Canon DSLR camera due to its bulky size
  • It's a nice looking camera, the size is great, all the bells and whistles are
  • Size is small enough that I want to carry it everywhere, but hefty enough to feel like a real camera (almost a pound with a lens).Minor cons: Not a con, but definitely counter-intuitive; the viewfinder takes more power than the screen
  • Really like this camera, it has a compact size so it's easy to carry and takes really nice pictures
  • And also the camera is great LOVE the viewfinder and love it’s compact size, very easy to take anywhere

Reviews around auto (4.28 of 5)

  • but this is working wonderfully for vlogging, with the fast auto focus and face tracking
  • Only half the weight yet 4 times pixel count and super fast auto focus
  • Video is pretty good again improved by the great auto focus
  • Pros: - Fast, fast, fast auto focus with the right lens.
  • The a6000 destroys the 5T in autofocus, it is far far faster and more accurate.

Reviews around quality (4.25 of 5)

  • I'm in love with this camera, it's compact and have good quality images
  • For an APS-C sensor with great image quality, you can get this camera for a steal
  • The a6000 receptors and lens quality are simply stunning.
  • If size is an issue and quality is an issue this is for YOU!!
  • I recommend it constantly because it's easy, light and the quality is unbelievable.

Reviews around color (4.15 of 5)

  • Whereas my regular ISO 3200 shots look like a grainy rainbow colored hot mess, my Multi NR 3200 ISO shots look like my ISO 800 shots
  • I like everything about this camera, easy to use, great pictures, great color, good in low light, and quick focus.
  • When I played it full screen on a computer, I could see some graininess in the dark colors
  • Compared to my old Canon Power Shot, this camera has poor color capture and poor clarity.
  • At low ISO in good light, all three produce spectacular detail with excellent color

Reviews around feature (4.12 of 5)

  • These features are great for us as we get to learn more about the camera and photography in general.
  • absolutely love all the features this camera has the offer!!
  • However, the main downsides are the features that excited me: WIFI and USB charging
  • great camera, lots of useful features and professional grade images.
  • Why do they sell worldwide but restrict the features for certain countries only

Reviews around shot (4.10 of 5)

  • Also when you shoot with a viewfinder the camera is closer to your body and you get steadier shots
  • and I now have a camera with me most times for those unexpected shots.
  • This is a great camera, I'm an amateur at photography but with this camera, my shots come out like professionals
  • Airplane Mode On, I never leave home with less than 4 batteries fully charged and keep turning it off and on again, which makes me miss some unexpected shots
  • With many features accessible only through menu, there are chances that you will miss the shots you want to remember.

Reviews around focus (4.07 of 5)

  • Pros: - Fast, fast, fast auto focus with the right lens.
  • I was not disappointed at all, the fast focus, the high iso image quality were superior!
  • Then the camera completely refused to focus (autofocus, manual focus, anything) at a special event.
  • Light fast focus perfect for a carry around camera not a replacement for my 7D but a great companion for it
  • The focus will be painfully slow and negate the benefits of the system when using such non-native glass.

Reviews around lens (3.44 of 5)

  • Again, all of this has been with a stock lens (not a great lens, by any means)
  • This lens will frustrate the user who is expecting DSLR quality.
  • The JPEGS are fine because in camera processing corrected the lens.
  • How much can you expect from the relatively cheap lens?
  • It’s not a superb lens, but I have no complaints about it

Reviews around like (3.17 of 5)

  • Yes, it focuses very fast and it can fire away like crazy.
  • The biggest thrill for me is that I can shoot like crazy and not worry about film and developing costs, those days are so long gone nobody young knows what I'm talking about
  • This camera sucks battery like crazy, but you should be able to go three to four hours of HEAVY shooting on 2 or 3 batteries
  • , L lenses even more so, so as much as I love to use it when I go out with sole intention of taking pictures, those are not really handy to carry around for anything else
  • I am bummed out because now I have no camera for my upcoming trip and there is nothing else out there that I like as much as I liked this Sony a6000

  • The fastest e mount or fe mount constant aperture zoom available from any manufacturer is currently f4.0.
  • If you are shooting sports or a moving object - this is a big plus
  • Upgraded from Sony Nex 5T, so I could make use of 18-55 and 55-210 lenses.
  • Hybrid AF system, this pretty much can track any moving object, and keep it focused no matter where it goes.4.

Reviews around life (2.81 of 5)

  • Hope for Sony firmware updates which will improve the battery life
  • However, between the sad battery life and the equally sad screen/EVF resolution, I think I'm not quite ready to devote myself to this camera for the next 5 years
  • But with the poor battery life, poor grip, average image quality, it's hard to shell out that kind of money for a camera
  • I own only L lenses as well as the well renowned Sigma 35 f1.4
  • I have a few non-serious nitpicks:-Some have criticized the battery life of the camera

Reviews around problem (2.70 of 5)

  • This is clearly, based on a simple Google search, a much more pervasive problem that they prefer not to acknowledge.
  • By-the-way: I had problems getting the panoramic feature to work, so did many people, judging by many posts on the Internet.
  • The only problem is that Amazon would not honor the bundle incentive that popped up when I ordered the camera
  • There are a lot of naysayers on the web who say that Sony doesn't have a good lens selection, but the E mount lenses available for this meet my needs.
  • The problem is not limited to particular phone model, but rather this is camera related issue

Reviews around complaint (2.68 of 5)

  • , L lenses even more so, so as much as I love to use it when I go out with sole intention of taking pictures, those are not really handy to carry around for anything else
  • Very happy with the camera, so far the Only complaint is the lack of a mic input jack, but I knew that before purchasing.
  • Only complaint, easily fixed but still dislike is the fact Sony puts chips in their batteries
  • My only complaint is the lack off a wide range telephoto lens
  • so if you purchase them as you upgrade all your lenses will work as you upgrade your camera body.

Reviews around bite (2.66 of 5)

  • Although, I find it a bit useful that I can charge the camera with a battery bank that I use my phones with because it charges via USB.2
  • and it handles dim light a bit better than the 7 with less color static
  • The images right out the camera as jpegs are stunning (maybe a bit over saturated and contrasty, but beautiful
  • I do wish the 16-50mm lens was just a bit faster, like f:2.
  • My only complaint would be that the wifi transfer seems to degrade photo quality a bit from camera to smartphone, but I think the cord transfer to computer works better

Reviews around time lapse (2.60 of 5)

  • For now I rely on the fast and clear E-mount Sigma 30mm prime that works perfectly w/ the camera.
  • There are a lot of naysayers on the web who say that Sony doesn't have a good lens selection, but the E mount lenses available for this meet my needs.
  • There are some good YouTube videos as well as a good e-book by Gary Friedman (http://www.friedmanarchives.com/alpha6000/index.htm)
  • If you want to do time lapse with this camera, it requires that you purchase an app for $9.99, which isn't the worst.
  • I was anxious to use this camera for some extended time lapse, but you have to use a battery.

Reviews around issue (2.58 of 5)

  • (I am not sure if this is my skill-set issue or the copy I was using had that
  • Apparently from what I've seen on camera discussion boards this is a common issue with this lens- lucky me
  • Dust can be an issue (with any interchangeable lens camera), so always be away from windy situations and change lenses fast
  • Another issue is that the camera drains the battery even I don't use the camera.
  • Solving the overheating issue is nearly impossible, leaving the battery open/screen out...not interested.

Reviews around plastic (2.58 of 5)

  • The camera is rated as best in class for a wide variety of functions and 'as good as' on most others...up against darn near anything
  • The flash and selector wheel / enter button feels & sounds cheap plastic
  • Given the fit and finish of this camera compared to an entry level DSLR, the only justification for going with a DSLR is if you need higher quality modern lenses (that are still made out of cheap plastic)
  • so if you purchase them as you upgrade all your lenses will work as you upgrade your camera body.
  • Reluctantly, because the improvements come in a fatter plastic body compared to the NEX-7's svelte all-metal construction
