Alpha A6000 Mirrorless Camera Review

I purchased this Sony Alpha a6000 with the 16-50mm and 55-210 with free accessories, as a backup to my Canon 6d mark ii. I also bought this for the 11 fps, and it has not failed me. Also, having a less expensive mirrorless camera has given me the opportunity to decide about future mirrorless camera purchases, which I will probably get, and will definitely purchase from B&H Photo. They have been great. I highly recommend this camera kit if one is not sure if they want to go the mirrorless market or as a great backup to your DSLR.

These are perfect for powering your Sony Alpha mirrorless camera.

Bought the Alpha a6000 after my NEX 7 body died (after 52,000 images--I'm not complaining)--with a little trepidation--the price of the 6000 is about half of what I paid for the NEX7--so I worried that the quality would be a step down-- Fortunately, this does not seem to be the case--the camera feels familiar, even though some of the controls are in different places--the double thumb wheels on the NEX 7 have been replaced--but I like the mode wheel on top. I'm using mostly the Sony Ziess 24 f1.8 lense with the camera--one of the best lenses I've ever owned--a lens I hope to use the rest of my life--and it's great to see that Sony is continuing to improve the bodies that work with this great lens.

If you've played with a mirrorless camera already, especially one of the Sony ones, then nothing here will surprise you. It's the same as the other Alpha cameras, only everything is 3x better/faster/sharper! While not revolutionary, this is a big evolutionary jump that gets several steps closer to bridging to the gap with consumer-grade DSLR's, in half the size and at half the price.

Great for traveling and attaches to my Sony Alpha A7 Ii Mirrorless camera perfectly. Lightweight and compact.

This lens works beautifully with the Sony Alpha A7s Ii Mirrorless Digital Camera. I highly recommend this lens :)

My camera is a Sony Alpha II, which is a very good mirrorless dslr, that takes movies as well. Of course the built in mic is minimal. I tried it out for real at a house concert, with serious audio equipment, and an audience of about 50. The two mics were both pointed at the artist, so it was not really sterio. The sound quality was quite presentable on the external stereo speakers driven from my laptop. My intention is iTunes and Facebook use, not making studio quality audio so it clearly does the job for me.

This little camera is truly remarkable. I'm a professional photojournalist and own a number of mirrorless alpha bodies; I bought this camera for hiking and skiing because it fits easily into almost any pocket. I've become disillusioned by iPhone images that are often flat and super saturated because of Apple's insistence on baking-in the HDR feature into their native camera app. This camera's image quality is outstanding and its 24-200 optical zoom is very versatile. They say the best camera is the one you always carry with you and if you're willing to pay the price (it is a bit expensive), it'll become the camera that doesn't leave your side. If you're looking to ditch your smart phone camera and its limitations, this little camera is for you. Highly recommend.

Finally, i received my new Sony Alpha a7 Mark II mirrorless camera on Monday, December 28, 2020 via USPS. It is a remarkable camera I ever owned so far. I already owned a Sony Alpha 6000 compact and i really like it. I also owned several Pentax and Nikon cameras but this is my first full frame mirrorless one. it is wonderful to have these additions for my hobby.

Fantastic mirrorless camera, I love the alpha series very much, I've tried canon and nikon but sony gets it just right. As an amateur photographer, I use B&H for all my camera needs, they have everything I'm looking for and more. I upgraded from the A7 III and I don't regret it. Not much of a difference except for the body style and sensor which is a great upgrade for me. I love this camera and would recommend anyone to get it. If you have trouble deciding, rent one and you will know what I'm talking about.
