No touchscreen
Screen not fully articulated
Some autofocus accuracy slip-ups
Battery life needs to be better
JPEG processing a little harsh for higher ISO sensitivities
Despite the bump in resolution
Image quality remains largely stagnant from previous generations. Some of the buttons could benefit from some tactile differentiation. No microphone jack puts the camera at a huge disadvantage for video shooters. The E-moun
Slow startup
Photosaving time is quite slow
Sony's 1650 mm OSS lens should be avoided
No electronic level
Menus could be organised more effectively
The movie record button remains annoying
And while it delivers excellent photo quality
It's not best-in-class in low light. It's also slow on startup
Excellent picture quality up to 3200 ISO, Good dynamic range, AF tracking is incredibly effective, AF coverage over the whole scene, Clear, goodquality audio recording
Slow startup, Photosaving time is quite slow, Sony's 1650 mm OSS lens should be avoided, No electronic level, Menus could be organised more effectively
If you're looking for a compact and relatively affordable APS-C mirrorless interchangeable lens camera to get the best out of your favourite lenses, then the Sony Alpha 6000 is a top choice. Its speedy and effective AF tracking system is a treat to use to...

For £550, body-only, the a6000 has strong value for the image quality and features you get. It's not a huge upgrade from the NEX-6, unless you really care about giant-sized images or having the latest, speediest autofocus. So keep your eye out for lower p...
No touchscreen, Screen not fully articulated, Frustrating AF set process
Sony has come within touching distance of creating the perfect compact system camera, but it's not quite there yet. Fantastic image quality, a small and sleek system, customisable buttons are all great to have, but there are a couple of niggles keeping i...

All told the Sony A6000 is an echo of its earlier NEX-6 model, making it a sensible balance of small and light but also powerful and capable of producing great images. We love the built-in electronic viewfinder, tilt-angle LCD screen and the step forward...
Low light performance, Rounded specification, Solid design, Good Connectivity
Lacks a standout feature, LCD could be better
The Sony a6000 is an impressive CSC that may lack a particularly standout feature but otherwise offers a very compelling combination of compact form factor, very impressive performance and a reasonably competitive price.Next, read out Nikon D5300 review...
Small and lightweight body makes this camera great for traveling, Easily adjust camera settings with customizable buttons and easy-to-navigate menus, Several auto focus modes that work well in the right lighting
Non-touchscreen LCD makes auto focus frustrating, Tends to hunt for focus in low light
The Sony Alpha A6000 mirrorless camera can't really hold a candle to its similarly-priced counterparts. While it is easy enough to use without extensive learning, this camera can also be frustrating to work with. Battery life is subpar, and low light phot...
Tilting Rear LCD Display, Hybrid AF System, Two control dials
Not capable of 4K video capture,
With a 24.3 Megapixel image sensor, a BIONZ X image processor, Full HD recording capabilities and a fast Hybrid AF system, the Sony A6000 is probably the best camera you can go for if you're just getting started out. If you opt for one with the 16-50mm f/...
Powerful features, even today, Sharp 24MP sensor, Good autofocus, Built-in EVF
Handling poor with larger lenses, Full HD not 4K, Not so good at high ISOs
Old as it is, the Sony A6000 shows that many of the most important things we look for in a camera haven't changed. Its 24-megapixel sensor is as competitive today as it was when this camera was launched. Its 11fps burst mode is rarely bettered, even now...
