I switched from a Canon DSLR camera due to its bulky size
The final complain is the size of the signs in the screen are to small to read withot reading glasses which is a problem
The compact size of this with the amazing low light capabilities make this a must have camera
Really like this camera, it has a compact size so it's easy to carry and takes really nice pictures
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
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
but this is working wonderfully for vlogging, with the fast auto focus and face tracking
Its Very Fast Auto Focus in the World helped me Shoot Fashion Shows Beauty Pageants.
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.
I will say that images straight from the camera have good color, good contrast but error on the side of over saturated
Compared to my old Canon Power Shot, this camera has poor color capture and poor clarity.
The digital viewfinder is just OK, color is poor but it enables careful framing at least, the biggest problem is that it shows the review image that is more normally inspected on the rear screen, which needs to be cleared before continuing to shoot
At low ISO in good light, all three produce spectacular detail with excellent color
When I played it full screen on a computer, I could see some graininess in the dark colors
Takes great clear shots with a minimum of camera weight and fuss.
I found this product to be a disappointment, shots are often blurred or simply don't look good
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
I can get great shots at ISO 3200 in most situations... sometimes at 6400.
and I now have a camera with me most times for those unexpected shots.
Love the very fast focus, excellent low light performance, light weight handling, great VET and all the other great features.
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)
Then the camera completely refused to focus (autofocus, manual focus, anything) at a special event.

I own only L lenses as well as the well renowned Sigma 35 f1.4
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.
, 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
There are some good YouTube videos as well as a good e-book by Gary Friedman (http://www.friedmanarchives.com/alpha6000/index.htm)
Hope for Sony firmware updates which will improve the battery life

Do a little research on this topic before buying just to be certain you are okay with this overheating problem.
This is clearly, based on a simple Google search, a much more pervasive problem that they prefer not to acknowledge.
The only problem is that Amazon would not honor the bundle incentive that popped up when I ordered the camera

The problem is not limited to particular phone model, but rather this is camera related issue
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)
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
Reluctantly, because the improvements come in a fatter plastic body compared to the NEX-7's svelte all-metal construction
so if you purchase them as you upgrade all your lenses will work as you upgrade your camera body.

Very happy with the camera, so far the Only complaint is the lack of a mic input jack, but I knew that before purchasing.

The only downside that I found with the A6000 is the lack of lens selection.
know Sony would never do it because it would cut into their SLT market, but a compatible battery grip and putting the SD card on the side would be nice
I ordered two non-Sony brand extra batteries and a wall charger bundled for about $25 and they work well and the charger also charges the real Sony battery.- Hopefully there will be more choices of Sony E mount lenses in the future
Upgraded from Sony Nex 5T, so I could make use of 18-55 and 55-210 lenses.
Turned out the battery was depleted and the camera could not recharge it
It was even draining the battery overnight with the camera turned off, so I ordered 2 additional batteries and a charger
