Overly sensitive eye sensor. Slow start up. EVF lags in very dim light. Lacks analog mic input. Some apps must be purchased

Keenly priced, built-in electronic viewfinder, tilt-angle LCD, great build quality, impressive high-res image quality, 11fps and AF-S an achievement at this price
Some autofocus accuracy slip-ups, battery life needs to be better, no touchscreen, JPEG processing a little harsh for higher ISO sensitivities
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 fo...

Incredibly fast, accurate autofocus, Tiny, lightweight and sturdy, Big, clear electronic viewfinder, Impressive still and video quality
No in-body image stabilisation
Sony A6000 verdict Open Gallery Sony has really nailed the concept of a compact system camera with its recent launches: something small enough to carry around almost everywhere you go but with power and features that rival – and in many instances...
Camera performance has improved by leaps and bounds over the last few years, and the market is as competitive as it's ever been. While the common wisdom just a few years ago was that you had to spend upwards of $1,000 to get a decent interchangeable lens ...
Very good stills and movies, 11 fps burst mode, Super-responsive AF system, Quality EVF and LCD
Kit lens is too limiting, No touchscreen display, Red-dot movie button hard to engage
This shouldn't come as a surprise: We gave the NEX-6 an Editor's Choice, and with higher resolution, faster burst mode, and improved AF and menu system the A6000 gets one too. A touchscreen LCD really would've made the package even better, as would relo...

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...

That a6000 has a sleek, modern design, with a solid set of controls and a big, comfortable grip. It produces beautiful images and decent video, with fast AF and response time. Controls are logically laid out, and provide a solid set of customizable button
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
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...
