If it didn’t have those it would be a deal breaker (like the A5100). With the native E-Mount lenses this camera feels small yet easy to handle with dedicated thumb and finger controls for aperture and EV. It weighs less than a poor mans wallet and shouldn’t be any trouble for even the daintiest of wrists. With the tiny kit lens, this camera feels great in the hand. You’ll just have to get people to take louder…or quieter depending on how close they are. Another annoyance for videographers is the fact that there is no volume control for the built in microphone. The bean counters in the Sony accounting department must have had something to do with that annoying decision.
One cool feature about the A6000 is that is boasts the AVCHD codec for recording video, While this is vastly superior to the video quality on the Sony A7R ,it’s not as good as the video quality on the even cheaper A5100 mirrorless camera. It’s all about how you choose to shove the light into that sensor. Even some of my old 5D2 shots have outstanding sharpness when using the Zeiss Distagon 21mm.
This can be said of most cameras that were made in the last couple of years. Even without the removal of the anti-aliasing filter that seems to give the A7R the edge, (pun intended) the Exmor sensor in the A6000 gives incredibly sharp images if you use proper technique and a good quality lens. It would be silly of Sony to give us as much image sharpness in this camera as lets say the A7R, but in all honesty it’s not far off.

High ISO action shots in low light were something of a disappointment but when you factor in the price tag – you get what you pay for. This is not the A7S or the A7R and you’ll see why the A6000 has such a low price tag when compared to it’s more expensive siblings. Noise Performanceĭon’t expect amazing results when shooting handheld at high ISO. Using only the shadows and highlights sliders in Adobe Camera Raw I was able to fix the blown out highlights and dark shadows with minimal increase in noise.
Put a proper Zeiss lens on this camera and all of a sudden you’ve got outstanding image quality in a tiny package that costs a fraction of similar DSLR offerings and won’t give you repetitive strain injury. Fair enough, the A6000 has a smaller APS-C sensor but with the right lens choice I could actually pack a lot of wide angle goodness into those 24.3 megapixels.Įven with the crappy 16-50mm kit lens, you can capture some excellent images if you know what you’re doing. I recently held my perished old Canon 5DmkII with a super wide angle lens and couldn’t quite believe that I used to lug that wrist mangling brick all over the world. Currently at around $700 Canadian dollars for the A6000 and the 16-50mm kit lens, you’ve got everything you need to get up an running as a travel photographer in the tiniest package available. Even if you’re a Canon or Nikon shooter, the A6000 is the ideal second camera to get you into the mirrorless game.Ī lot of my love for the A6000 stems from the fact that it is priced very aggressively. So, here’s my in depth Sony A6000 review.Įnter the Sony A6000, the logical solution for a backup camera if you’re already using a Sony mirrorless for your main camera. Here’s the scenario – I often shoot timelapse sequences with my main camera the Sony A7R (Read my Sony A7R review here) and that means I need a second camera to continue shooting stills while I wait for the timelapse shooting to finish. The more I use this camera, the more I love it.
