Great little camera! Just getting back into photography after years of depending on my iPhone. Amazing clarity in detail, flexibility in features, and ease of use. I'm actually enjoying photography again!

I purchased this Sony a6000 with the 16-50mm lens as a travel replacement for my full frame Nikon. I was looking for something lighter in my carry-on luggage for air travel. I was also tired of lugging that big full frame camera and gear on vacations, especially to Europe, I had done a lot of research on mirrorless cameras and this one always came to the top of the list based on price and functionality. I was not expecting too much for the price point but was very pleased with its features and performance. I have shot about 200 photos so far and even with the kit lens (16-50mm) the photos are sharp and color is great. I know there are some reviews during my research that were not complimentary of this kit lens but I found it to give very good with solid performance. The camera is light weight for carrying and came with a case (see review on Ruggard case). It has a sturdy feel and fits my grip very well and the function buttons are very conveniently located so you can make setting adjustments quickly on the go. This camera has almost all the same functions as my full frame camera and I love the quick focusing and 11fps shooting capability. I also like the capablity to use my old Minolta, Canon, and Nikon lens with adapters. I also purchased a step-up ring so I could use my old filters (UV, Polarizer, etc) from years ago (I'm not saying how long ago but you can see the Minolta reference and figure it out). The only negative so far is the camera (I think all Sony cameras) eats batteries like crazy but just purchase extra batteries and you will be more than happy with this camera's performance. Its an excellent camera and will be tested more thoroughly on my next vacation. I would highly recommend this product.

Just got this camera last week, have taken maybe 4 dozen pix so far. Grand results, love the smaller, less intrusive body, lots of options and to learn yet!!

Since my main digital camera is a Sony A7, this was a logical choice for something lighter (boy, has the mirrorless revolution spoiled me!) and more inconspicuous as a go-everywhere camera. Controls and functions are nearly identical, which is to say that they are logical and intuitive. Great finder, almost the equal of its big cousin. Excellent image quality, solid construction considering it isn't a pro model. Paired with the 20mm pancake lens, it makes a great combination for those times I can't or don't want to carry a whole bag of stuff. It won't ever replace my film rangefinders, but does make a great digital equivalent for the sort of shooting at which they excel. Highly recommended.

I've been a Canon DSLR user for years. I decided to make the jump to mirrorless and am in love! The quality of the images from the A6000 is beautiful. There are so many little features on this camera that I didn't have on my old T3i. Love the size and lightweight nature. Easier to travel and hike with this great little camera. The silver is vey elegant. I'm so glad I ordered this color!

Excellent camera kit and I got it at a super price from B&H. Each lens is tack sharp and make super enlargements if you need them. Features are great, and there is an icon of a red camera that is on of the smart program exposure dial settings that works better than any program exposure mode that I have ever used. It will even correct imperfections in the lenses ,like distortions that are in all lenses. The camera is super light, and the kit lenses are light for there focal length and super sharp hand held because they have built in image stablizers called OSS. The 16 to 55 lens is extremely light and compact and does not have or need a lens shade. The lens although not as strong as the Sony Zeis full frame lens eqivalent to it , it competes well with it in image quality, (sometimes better in test reviews). The batteries are small, so they deplete their charge sooner. The good news is that you can charge the batteries by a cable from the a6000 camera to a usb port or use the usb adapter plugin for an electrical outlet. I would suggest that you buy one or two more batteries and the Sony battery charger for an outlet plug. The camera can shoot 11 frames per second and shoots 180 degree panneramas and stitches them together. Its easy to use has many custom features like the a77m2 only lighter. It is also 24 mp and can do 1 hr of video. It is mirrorless. Excellent camera.

just got it Friday and took it our for a spin yesterday--used it in auto mode and love the colors of the pictures--also read that turn on the airplane mode to save battery power and also turn off prefocusing in menus my battery did last when I did this--now will go to other setting like S and A to see how they work that is the settings I use most in my other cameras--

I bought this to start the transition from heavy DSLR gear to a more manageable weight. The kit lens is actually pretty exceptional for what it is. However, using high end Nikon lenses with an adapter produces high quality images when shot in RAW. I suspect if you only shoot JPEG you will be very happy with the kit lens. If you intend to shoot RAW you will likely want some better glass. Somewhat of a learning curve involved in getting to know the camera but once you understand it the menu is fairly easy to navigate.
