When shooting fast moving objects such as birds in flight the fast focus finds the target and locks on better than any camera I have ever used.

The quick focus picks up the powder trails really well

Light weight, high frame rate(double compared to mirrored) extremely fast focusing, built in stabilizing that's unreal, German lens with Japanese brains

I would say the canon took better pictures and had smarter auto focusing (not just the closest thing

Then its small size, lightning fast focus, and tiltable LCD let it really shine and the image quality was comparable to the Canon

The focusing is dramatically faster and more accurate.

Fast shooter capable of fast focusing and very nice color rendition, but the slap of the shutter was a bit too noisy for my shooting preference.

While not perfect, it's feature-packed and known for good still and video with fast focus, low noise, and good dynamic range.

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.

Focus peaking, DMF, 11FPS continuous, a number of AEB options, zebra, and truly excellent continuous focus are just a few of this cameras many great features

Manual focusing in live view is a breeze with Canon cameras, but I struggled a lot to get the manual focusing process on the a6000 to work for me

The focus and clarity is amazing, and the shutter speed is crazy fast

Live histogram, exposure preview, live zebras for clipped areas, focus peeking, variable grid patterns, really, really good focus tracking (compared to my 6D) and tons of fps on top of it

Pros: - Fast, fast, fast auto focus with the right lens.

The focus in low light is still slow.

although people have complaints on the technical specsFinally a hot shoeCons -Low light focus seems a little improved, but still lags (I use the 50 1.8 mostly)Ergonomics of the two dials (they could have been swapped for easier

That is this camera's speedy auto focus

The 16-50 kit lens is a real stinker: not fast to focus, soft edges, no close focus

I love how fast the focus is and the amazing fps

amazing fast auto focus.

Sometimes I miss focus with the 85mm when I am sure I have focus with it, so I don't what that is all about, but I am sure I will work out the kinks

I have gotten clean shots in very low light and the high frame rate coupled with the fast auto focus is truly amazing

Easy focus

Fastest focusing mirror less camera bar none

Sony boasts the world's fastest auto-focus for their mirrorless lineup.- High ISO performance rivals full frame

The focus is so much faster

The focus is really fast

And misses focus in good light if I wasn't careful

25k ISO, view finder and the super auto focus got my attention

Very impressive auto focus that never seems to be searching or fishing around for a focus

Great pictures with amazing auto-focus!

The focus will be painfully slow and negate the benefits of the system when using such non-native glass.

The good stuff: Lovely pictures, pretty accurate colours even with kit lens, very fast focus, the 11-shots per second speed is remarkable with no apparent lag, Bokeh with either the kit lens or the 18-135mm lens is surprisingly good, (and yes, there are settings to controol that to some extent apparently), built in flash is adequate, except for the Movie mode dial, the remainder of the controls are well positioned and relatively easy to activate

With absolutely perfect focusing technique and using a depth of field calculator, I was able to get one file with sharpness throughout at f/10

The manual focus works very well but not all features of the a6000 are exploited

Fast auto focus, .

Great features, quick focus, and hassle-free controls make it a nice first camera.

camera).Main improvements are:Considerable improvement in Auto-focus:Generally fast focus in good light, and little slower but correct focus in low-light instead of dreaded dotted rectangle on previous NEX series

Video is pretty good again improved by the great auto focus

The focus is fast but many of them are OOF

I figured if I'm going to use it for that purpose I need to upgrade from the Nex 7 for faster focus, so I did

Great image quality, amazing auto-focus, low price, and compact form-factor come together to make a formidable package

The focus on the lens is enough to capture the perfect shot

Love the very fast focus, excellent low light performance, light weight handling, great VET and all the other great features.

Fantastic Sensor, Good Auto Focus, Great performance in low light, Compact constructionCons: Short battery life, no touchscreen, no 4k video, no duel SD card slots.

Camera kept focus on moving subjects quite well on large stage with many dancers

If you are not into sports or wildlife, manual focus is a breeze with the Sony

It seems to always find perfect focus while being nearly transparent to the video, meaning all you see is a consistently focused image from 12 inches to infinity

It has very fast focusing and rapid shooting which is required for action photography; the LX100(M3) is not as good for action

Sony made some major changes with this, using a hybrid focusing system, which makes this the fastest focusing camera currently out on the market

I have added and Olympus B-300 1.7x telextender that gives the equivalent of 518mm while retaining the fast focus and image stabilization.

Manual focusing in live view is a breeze with Canon cameras, but I struggled a lot to get the manual focusing process on the a6000 to work for me

The "world's fastest auto focus" is always ready to focus on anything but your subject

The fast focus makes it possible to very quickly take many shots, and the auto HDR is a feature I enjoy very much

it takes Beautiful pictures and great video at 1080p 60fps, easy to use, a awesome auto-focus, easy menu handling, and ok battery

Light fast focus perfect for a carry around camera not a replacement for my 7D but a great companion for it

Using the small point, the focus is much more consistently correct.

The focusing on the zoom was much faster than the 5N, but still didn't meet my exceptions from what I read about it having the fastest autofocus of any camera

Great smoother focusing in video, decent audio too

It is still relatively small, it switches on quickly, takes great pictures even with the “kit” lenses, the focus is precise and blazingly fast and it has good low light performance

Focus is faster than almost any camera sold today

I recently took this on a NYC trip and found the extremely fast and sharp focusing to be of excellent value

Focus seems very accurate as well

Spoiler alert - great travel size, fast focus, really fast focus, speedy daytime shooter, BUT bad grainy images in low light, JPEG is terrible and Raw is what you need to shoot all the time for decent images

The focus will be painfully slow and negate the benefits of the system when using such non-native glass.

and I'm enjoying manual focus on older/vintage (dirt cheap) nikkor lens.

It is also everything Sony A5000 wasn't: lighting fast shooting, fast focusing, good low light performance, good viewfinder, very portable

Was really looking forward to the much improved 24.3mp APS-C sensor on the A6000 compared to my A77's same resolution sensor, PLUS the smoking fast auto focus, from all reports.

i just returned the a7 and got this little thing back , i love it the auto focus its

The lack of a select and zoom feature made manual focusing in live view an incredibly tedious process

Fast focus

but this is working wonderfully for vlogging, with the fast auto focus and face tracking

Glad to have focus peaking and Smile/Face Detection

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)

Fast focus and Fast capture

Lightweight and with a fast and accurate auto focus.

Fast focus, good tracking, great dynamic range.

Amazing auto focus

So the focus changes in little steps rather than being granular, as it would be with a proper focus ring

Focus is extremely fast

I was not disappointed at all, the fast focus, the high iso image quality were superior!

I find that the screen will not quite display as clearly as the viewfinder when hunting for fine focus

For those wanting to take advantage of the advertised super-fast focus speed, be aware that PDAF only activates in AF-C (Continuous mode) with Wide or Zone focus area, and only at f11 or wider aperture (f3.5 to f11 on the kit-lens).

Their small size, incredible auto-focus, and after-market versatility make these little cameras a joy to use, and with image quality that can scarcely be believed.

With the Sony 55 - 210 mm telephoto zoom lens, Sony's autofocus system in the A6000 will often take a nearly-correct focus setting and change it to totally-out-of-focus, and then 'hunt' for focus

The camera is very lightweight and small, easy to carry; has the remote functionalities, can install apps from the camera or sony store with remote install; Sony a-guide is very good for lessons and lens specs; tons of features inside and outstanding focus

For shooting scenery (my forte) I usually use the kit lens at 24mm equivalent (which is fairly wide angle) and set the camera to a small aperture for maximum depth of field - everything in sharp focus.

Then the camera completely refused to focus (autofocus, manual focus, anything) at a special event.

Was looking at Cannons and Nikon and the new Panasonic G7 that records in 4K but ultimately decided on this camera for its 179 focal points, fast auto focus and 11fps

This is a fast focusing lens and specifically designed to work with Sony's hybrid phase detection system.

I haven't mastered the art of tack sharp focus yet, but this helps me be sure that I'm in focus!--View screen on the back can tilt up or down, so you can have the camera higher or lower, and still be able to see the screen--Programmable buttons that you can set to work just about any feature of the camera

No more "lost moments" while waiting for poky focusing

I used the kit lens and admit that perhaps focusing could be more accurate with a decent lens

Oustandingly fast auto focus and burst performance

I go and wanted something that had really great/fast focus and a LIGHT body because I can't stand how heavy dSLRs can get after just a couple hours

Super fast focus and agile snapping

Only half the weight yet 4 times pixel count and super fast auto focus

Upgraded from a 2010 NEX 5 and love the viewfinder, and higher Rez and my old lenses work fine, much faster focus.

Its Very Fast Auto Focus in the World helped me Shoot Fashion Shows Beauty Pageants.

You still cannot beat a DSLR for fast and accurate focusing for action and in low light however for general photography the A6000 won't disappoint.

Pros:- instant focus (which is practically uselles considering it misses 9 out of 10)- lots of commercials and stellar reviewsCons:- Poor battery life: 3-4 hours, max I got 145 shots (no video) till battery completely

Its focus is great and it's great for low light shots

But otherwise also, it is able to lock focus when previous NEX cameras failed to lock focus in low-light

The small size also lends itself to camera stability for sharp focus at much longer shutter speeds than the heavier DSLR

The Canon 7D Mark II is a great camera body with fast focusing

, it took me a while to master most of the functionality and still a lot to know.the focus is fast and it took impressive video clips with no noticeable out of focus at all.i love the in camera HDR results, and it quite fast indeed.picture quality is very
