Operational speed, Large and bright viewfinder, Tiltable LCD screen, Fast write times
Inconsistent white balance under artificial light, Recessed buttons can be fiddly
The Sony NEX-6 bridges the gap between the flagship NEX-7 and the more consumer-orientated NEX-5R, borrowing features from both models. From the NEX-7 it takes the bright and highly detailed electronic viewfinder, while from the NEX-5R it takes the built-...
Wi, Fi and apps, High image quality, Range of effects
Screen doesn't twist around, No touchscreen

Abstract: So that there's no confusion, this story is about a camera that was introduced in the fall of 2012. Like many of the cameras that I use, it's not the latest or greatest—but it's miles above the “good enough” threshold. And it's very affordable in today's...
