Reviews around picture (4.61 of 5)

  • But overall, the pictures I took with stock lens came out “nice” but lacked that crisp and detailed look
  • Overall, this camera takes great pictures with little effort
  • Still it's better than my 6 yr old canon DSLR which took horrendous pictures in low light
  • The only but is the lens 16-50 that comes in the bundle, kinda distort the pictures in the edges
  • very fine camera, takes very good pictures and very fast,

Reviews around size (4.45 of 5)

  • Really like this camera, it has a compact size so it's easy to carry and takes really nice pictures
  • If size is an issue and quality is an issue this is for YOU!!
  • It's a nice looking camera, the size is great, all the bells and whistles are
  • The final complain is the size of the signs in the screen are to small to read withot reading glasses which is a problem
  • 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

Reviews around auto (4.28 of 5)

  • Only half the weight yet 4 times pixel count and super fast auto focus
  • very nice features - 11 frames per second, in camera HDR, lightweight and compact, facial recognition, awesome low light capabilities, very easy to use with no getting frustrated as i toggle between ISO, F-stops, and shutter speed
  • The a6000 destroys the 5T in autofocus, it is far far faster and more accurate.
  • Video is pretty good again improved by the great auto focus
  • I can't tell you how many pictures I lost over the years because I couldn't see the camera display when the sun was bright, and with the vague and often inaccurate auto focus, I lost quite a few potentially awesome pictures.

Reviews around feature (4.12 of 5)

  • However, I learned much later that it misses certain features that the 5100 has.
  • The manual focus works very well but not all features of the a6000 are exploited
  • However, the main downsides are the features that excited me: WIFI and USB charging
  • Why do they sell worldwide but restrict the features for certain countries only
  • absolutely love all the features this camera has the offer!!

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
  • This is a great camera, I'm an amateur at photography but with this camera, my shots come out like professionals
  • and I now have a camera with me most times for those unexpected shots.
  • 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)

  • I can't tell you how many pictures I lost over the years because I couldn't see the camera display when the sun was bright, and with the vague and often inaccurate auto focus, I lost quite a few potentially awesome pictures.
  • Pros: - Fast, fast, fast auto focus with the right lens.
  • 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.
  • I say AF because some lenses like STM's require power even if you intend to only use manual focus ($20 mistake on my part) (make sure you do your homework before purchasing)

  • , 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
  • There are some good YouTube videos as well as a good e-book by Gary Friedman (http://www.friedmanarchives.com/alpha6000/index.htm)
  • 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.
  • 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
  • Yes, it focuses very fast and it can fire away like crazy.

Reviews around move object (3.15 of 5)

  • Light weight, very fast image capture and focus (no more blurry moving objects), and many options that make getting the best image the first time easier.
  • For now I rely on the fast and clear E-mount Sigma 30mm prime that works perfectly w/ the camera.
  • I suggest an Olympus, for a cheaper camera the Nikon J's are great
  • Upgraded from Sony Nex 5T, so I could make use of 18-55 and 55-210 lenses.
  • 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.

  • But with the poor battery life, poor grip, average image quality, it's hard to shell out that kind of money for a camera
  • Hope for Sony firmware updates which will improve the battery life

  • My only complaint is the lack off a wide range telephoto lens

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
  • I do wish the 16-50mm lens was just a bit faster, like f:2.
  • Great camera, easy to use, good picture quality, Wish it was weather sealed and a bit more durable.
  • The images right out the camera as jpegs are stunning (maybe a bit over saturated and contrasty, but beautiful
  • and it handles dim light a bit better than the 7 with less color static

Reviews around issue (2.58 of 5)

  • Solving the overheating issue is nearly impossible, leaving the battery open/screen out...not interested.
  • Another issue is that the camera drains the battery even I don't use the camera.
  • Chromatic aberration and edge softness are not objectionable even with the kit lens; a result of the camera's firmware ability to correct issues even in the kit lenses
  • So, now I am little more happy, but wish overheating issue is not there
  • Apparently from what I've seen on camera discussion boards this is a common issue with this lens- lucky me
