Sony's new a6000 is an update of the Sony NEX-6 , a very well-regarded CSC that managed to stay the course for a good four years. That it lasted so long is testament to how special it was, given the brief shelf-life of new models nowadays.

Low light performance; Rounded specification; Solid design; Good Connectivity

Lacks a standout feature; LCD could be better

After four years, it is only now that Sony has updated its NEX-6 – one of the most popular compact system cameras the market has ever seen – in the form of the Alpha 6000. The new camera also shares some common features with the equally popular Sony NEX-7 and retains the distinctive NEX body shape,...

The a6000 is one of the best value cameras released in recent years. In our opinion CSCs are generally overpriced, but this camera offers exceptional image quality, focusing, shooting speed and connectivity for a very modest price-tag.

Hits a home run for quality, performance, features and price

Purchased this camera 5 months ago. I have used it for street photography and its very suited to the task. Very discreet and captures shots quickly. Every aspect of this camera is perfect. The kit lens is fine, contrary to what others say. Especially for learning with.

My Nikon DSLR feels a bit clunky now so time to upgrade. The reviews on this model ticked all the boxes, but it's just not doing it for me. A day out by the quayside in glorious weather produced photos that were fine, but I actually prefer those taken on the oneplus 6 phone.

I wanted to ditch my DSLR and get a Mirrorless Camera. For Size mainly. I came from using the Canon 600D and I am blown away by this camera. It is really easy to use. A great 1st camera for the beginners but also for Hobbyists and Pros. The Clarity, ISO and fast Focus make for great pictures.

First time using this camera l must it's pretty awesome,l previously owned a Canon SLR and will not go back.The images off the sony are clear and very sharp as well this camer is very light weight aND more manageable to use...l love it...thank you.

I recently replaced my NEX-6 with the a6000 and it is every bit as good as I heard it was. I was tempted by Fuji but the Sony is lighter. My only issue is with the 16-50mm kit lens it could and should be better. Five stars for the camera and four stars with this lens.

Pretty much all mirrorless cameras - Fujifilm X and Samsung NX, to name a couple - with APS-C size sensors can take a damn fine picture these days. The Sony a6000 does its best to stand out with a pinch of style and updated tech, but it's still largely the same as the camera it's replacing, 2012's...
