Sony A6000 Comments

Get the Sony A6000 at B&H Photo.

The 24-megapixel Sony A6000 delivers a very strong feature set for an APS-C mirrorless camera at an aggressive price point of about $648. Its performance with the Zeiss Touit 50mm f/2.8M is excellent. Similar results can be expected from the other Zeiss Touit lenses and the full-frame Sony Zeiss FE lenses.

Here’s what I call out as notable for what I look for (good and bad).

It has some operational negatives (control and behavior). Moreover, a highly desirable shooting feature that is lacking would be the Olympus 5-axis image stabilization brought over to the APS-C format. But the solid grip and EVF allow mass coupling for low shutter speed shooting, which is more than many cameras can claims.

In many respects it is fair to say that the Sony A6000 represents far better value than, say, the Olympus E-M1: while not as well built, it is smaller and lighter, and its 24 megapixels on a much larger sensor go well beyond the 16 megapixels of Micro Four Thirds. Lens selection is the key weakness relative to Micro Four Thirds but the game will change substantially by late 2014. I’d call it a good “tread water” camera for those on the fence just now.

Sony calls out some interesting features, which taking a high level view, show that more and more goodies are being aggressively moved into the lower end lineup.

  • Tru-Finder 0.39" 1,440k-Dot OLED EVF
  • 3.0" 921k-Dot Xtra Fine Tilting LCD
