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

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

But then the battery - it eats batteries like crazy!

To make matters worse, I purchased an Arca-Swiss-compatible L bracket.

, 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

you can get extremely high quality photos for the cost of the cheapest L pro zoom lens (70-200 f4)

I own only L lenses as well as the well renowned Sigma 35 f1.4

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

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.

This is one of my two favorite E-mount lenses.

There are some good YouTube videos as well as a good e-book by Gary Friedman (http://www.friedmanarchives.com/alpha6000/index.htm)

The fastest e mount or fe mount constant aperture zoom available from any manufacturer is currently f4.0.

For now I rely on the fast and clear E-mount Sigma 30mm prime that works perfectly w/ the camera.
