  • Design not as sleek as NEX-7 (though that might be a pro for some)
  • Hybrid AF system still lags behind some comparably priced DSLRs in terms of speed and accuracy
  • Can't separate AF activation from shutter button
  • Default toggling between manual and au...
  • The camera lacks the option to save groups of custom settings
  • A real irritation
  • And we wish it had a neutral color preset. Plus Sony's wireless implementation is awkward
  • And the app system is annoying
  • Slow to start and shoot. Kit lens could be sharper. No dedicated battery charger. Some camera apps cost money
  • Confusing menu system
  • Even with mode dial
  • Still too dependent on menus
  • Poorly positioned "red" movie button
  • Occasional AF misfires
  • Should have a touchscreen LCD
  • Wi-Fi could definitely be improved
  • Wi-Fi is effectively useless
  • Lens ecosystem still lags competition
  • Lack of touch screen
  • Poor AF performance in low light
  • Movie button difficult to press and not programmable.

  • The Sony Alpha NEX-6 delivers an as-yet-unbeatable package of image quality, performance, and design, even for its rather high price.
