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

There are more powerful mirrorless cameras on the market, but if you're looking to spend less than $1,000 including a lens, Sony's Alpha 6000 is a solid pick.

The Sony Alpha 6000 ($649.99 body only) is one of the fastest-focusing cameras that I've held in my hands, and the quality of the images that its 24-megapixel APS-C sensor captures is outstanding.

Incredibly fast autofocus; 11.1fps burst shooting with tracking focus; Amazing high ISO image quality; Sharp OLED EVF; Tilting rear display; In-body flash and multi-function hot shoe; Wi-Fi with NFC; Downloadable camera apps; 1080p60 video capture

Some autofocus accuracy slip-ups; battery life needs to be better; no touchscreen; JPEG processing a little harsh for higher ISO sensitivities

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

10.1fps continuous shooting with AF; DRO / HDR modes for extended dynamic range; Solid metal body with good handling; Electronic viewfinder; Wi-Fi connectivity; Excellent value for money; Improved menu system; Good colour

Prime lenses needed for best results; 16-50mm lens performance

After using the Sony A6000 for a few months on two separate occasions, I can honestly say that it is one of the most capable and versatile mirrorless cameras on the market. With its compact and lightweight camera body, comfortable grip, fast and accurate hybrid autofocus system, bright and...

great size

- not really; would be nice if it came with a plastic cap for the body when the lens is off but that's all I can think of
