Putting the camera in Airplane Mode and disabling Auto Review greatly helps prolong battery life.
The a6000 destroys the 5T in autofocus, it is far far faster and more accurate.
Pros: - Fast, fast, fast auto focus with the right lens.
Only half the weight yet 4 times pixel count and super fast 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.
When I played it full screen on a computer, I could see some graininess in the dark colors
you can get extremely high quality photos for the cost of the cheapest L pro zoom lens (70-200 f4)
I will say that images straight from the camera have good color, good contrast but error on the side of over saturated
Shooting in day light produced incredible color and noise-free photos
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

Then the camera completely refused to focus (autofocus, manual focus, anything) at a special event.
but this is working wonderfully for vlogging, with the fast auto focus and face tracking
Pros: - Fast, fast, fast auto focus with the right lens.
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)
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.
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
The low life of the battery is bothering me and the kit lens did not do any favor
Hope for Sony firmware updates which will improve the battery life
I own only L lenses as well as the well renowned Sigma 35 f1.4
Great camera, my only complaint is that the batteries drain pretty fast.

The one complaint I have always had with Sony is their lack of software updates, they are notorious for releasing a whole new body and leaving their existing customer in the dark
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
Very happy with the camera, so far the Only complaint is the lack of a mic input jack, but I knew that before purchasing.

There are some good YouTube videos as well as a good e-book by Gary Friedman (http://www.friedmanarchives.com/alpha6000/index.htm)
:You know that convenient, inexpensive wireless intervalometer you use on your older NEX camera for time-lapse and astrophotography
The selection is almost non-existent, and they overprice apps that do functions that should be included in the camera like time lapse, bracketing and get this, lens correction is not included

so if you purchase them as you upgrade all your lenses will work as you upgrade your camera body.
Upgraded from Sony Nex 5T, so I could make use of 18-55 and 55-210 lenses.
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)
Reluctantly, because the improvements come in a fatter plastic body compared to the NEX-7's svelte all-metal construction
The only downside that I found with the A6000 is the lack of lens selection.
I own only L lenses as well as the well renowned Sigma 35 f1.4
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
, 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.
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
Overall, incredible image quality that is comparable and even better than that of the T4iBattery Life: 7/10- This is the Achilles' heel of the camera as the battery drains frighteningly
Another issue is that the camera drains the battery even I don't use the camera.
Turned out the battery was depleted and the camera could not recharge it
But with the poor battery life, poor grip, average image quality, it's hard to shell out that kind of money for a camera
