I bought the a6000 brand new, two years ago and it's been my go to camera since then. I use it when I travel and for every day shooting. I've invested in a good lens like the Sigma 56 mm f1.4 and the results that I get with it are stunning!
Great choice on the lens! I bet that is great on the a6000. It is the one of the best for those use cases. Thanks for the comment, Cheers!
Good job !... I bought one recently just to use with my manual focus lenses - I could see no advantage in buying a newer version like the A6100 or A6300 for this purpose - it does everything I need it to and more. I can understand why it has stayed so popular for so long.
This camera is great for that! With focus peaking built in, it makes it so easy to use with older manual lenses. I think it will be around for a long time! Thanks for the comment, Cheers!
I have owned the A6000 for nearly 5 years, and bought it primarily for travel - due to its compact design and advanced features. I got sick of lugging my DSLR as a flight carry-on. One detriment you missed is battery life. If you are out shooting for the day, better have two charged batteries with you! Not a real problem; I do the same with my Sony Alpha 100 DSLR.
@josephterranova4855 It's fantastic to hear about your experience with the Sony A6000 over the past five years, especially considering how it has enhanced your travel photography with its compact design and advanced capabilities. The decision to switch from a DSLR to a mirrorless camera like the A6000 for travel purposes makes a lot of sense; those weight and size considerations can really impact the enjoyment of a trip.
You bring up an excellent point about battery life, a factor that can sometimes be overlooked in discussions about camera gear. It's true that when you're out and about for a full day of shooting, having a spare battery or two is practically a necessity, particularly with a camera like the A6000 that may consume more power due to its compact size and advanced features. It's interesting to note that this isn't a unique challenge to mirrorless cameras; even DSLRs like your Sony Alpha 100 can require extra batteries for a day-long excursion.
Managing battery life effectively becomes part of the routine for photographers who are serious about their craft, especially when shooting on location or during extended sessions. Carrying spare batteries, investing in portable chargers, or even exploring power-saving settings can all help mitigate this challenge to ensure uninterrupted shooting experiences.
Thanks for sharing your insight-it's a valuable reminder of the practical considerations that come with using different types of cameras, and it adds depth to the conversation for anyone considering their next gear upgrade or planning their next photo adventure. Here's to many more years of capturing incredible moments with your A6000! Cheers!
Looking for buying one since I wanna do photography but I didn't really start yet, so its pretty helpful thank you
That’s awesome! It would be a great starter camera as you can do so much with it. Thanks for the comment, cheers!
Just got this dude! Still a little lost with all the settings (first camera). Thank you for this!
That's awesome! So happy the video helped, now get out there and start shooting!! 😄 Thanks for the comment, Cheers!
Thanks 😊🎉
Anytime! Thanks for the comment, Cheers!
Great video
Thank you so much! Cheers!
Great video but You forgot one really great feature. The A6000 can do eye autofocus which is the most helpful thing for portraits. You have to configure custom buttons in the menu to activate it.
Very true! Great thing to point out to people. Thanks for the comment, Cheers!
@@KarlWeinreich Anytime 👍
I used my a6000 with my manual lenses and the a6600 with the auto-focus lenses... the a6000 takes some awesome pictures.
It absolutely does, I am always impressed when I look through the raw files. Thanks for the comment, Cheers!
How does a6000 compare to iphone 15 pro max?
@ramblr5900 that is a great question… stay tuned :)
I rock the a5000 got it last year towards December I think the a6000 would be a great upgrade.. Great video 🙏🔥👌
Thats awesome, I have never used that camera. What do you think of it? Thanks for the comment!
@@KarlWeinreich The a5000 is a pretty great camera except it has 20.1 Megapixels
But I've found it's been great for me in most conditions and is impressive in low light situations with the 35mm f1.6 prime lense
Thanks for replying to my comment 😊👊
@@mukisaelijah12 Thats awesome, hey 20.1 MP is great! I take most of my photos with an Iphone 12 Pro with 12MP and my Sony A7SIII with 12 MP. The 35 f1.6 for sure helps a lot though! Thanks again for the comments! Cheers!
Yes,enjoyed the vid. We purchased 2 used A6000's,including 4 OSS lenses(two kit) and a Sony handycam with image stabilization for LESS than a new A6000. We don't shoot 4K but if we need to,then we just rent better cameras for a couple days.
Thank you so much! That's awesome, they are great cameras for the price and it is really all you need sometimes. A camera is only as good as the operator right?! Thanks for the comment, Cheers!
@@KarlWeinreich Words of wisdom,there! Your channel was one of the first to show up in a search we did when looking for basic beginner info. Thanks,it sure helped! It's nice to have one A6000 set up for photos,one for video. We wore those kit lenses out before we upgraded--there are a million great pics inside every A6000, waiting to be shot with just those kit lenses. Skills are worth waiting on and it's been great fun along the way. Thanks again👍
@@stingylizard Thank you so much for the kind words! I apprechate it! Cheers!
Just got back from our first-ever trip to Kauai. Finally forced myself to get out my used A6000. Could not be happier with the results. Some of the sunrise/sunset photos looked fake they had so much energy and vividness. No post-shoot software. Everything I have in my album is what I shot on the trip.
Loved the quality of the photos and the ease of use. Difficult part was getting used to the movie mode. That is new to me. But I dived in with no regrets after it was over.
One question. I got it that you shot this video for YT on the A6000. But what did you record the audio with? If I use my camera for blogging do I need an external mic? Your audio was great.
I have not scratched the surface of the features of my cameras. But when you make yourself learn with trips like this there is the learning curve but I really had fun and that is what it is all about.
Looking forward to a reply on the audio question.
Thanks again. Keep these coming!
That is so awesome to hear! It is a great camera for the exact purposes you are talking about.
On the audio question, this camera doesn't a 3.5 jack so you have to record your audio externally or use the internal mic that isn't very good.
I hope you continue to use it and keep getting great shots! Thanks for the comment, cheers!
@@KarlWeinreich so can you briefly explain “record externally”? I do have a digital mic and also a saramonic 500 but even with an external recording device are you using a software to blend audio and video?
@@8pilgrimGreat question! I should make a video about this as I do get this one a lot. I use Premiere Pro and just sync up the audio with a series of three claps to make sure I have both of them recoding a reference in post. Hope that answers your question! Thanks aganin, Cheers!
I've got the Sony ECM XYST 1M hotshoe mic. It's a light external mic which is a big step up.
Nice! That would help a lot for sure!
I have pro FF cameras but still rock the 6000 in certain instances with a tiny samyang 24 2.8. It is pocketable. My other cameras are 7Riii and 7Rv. Don't want to bring them hiking, to the beach with friends, or events I'm not working. It's like 1/4 of the weight with that 24 compared to pretty much any other lens i have combined with FF. I also won't cry like a baby if something happens to it.
For sure! Why risk losing or damaging those money making cameras when you have a great camera that produces a great image for a fraction of the price. Thanks for the comment, Cheers!
Hey man, very good video with solid info. Thank you. I plan to get this body second hand. Upgrading from a Nikon D3400. There are some differences from the D3400, but not that much, and you may wonder why I do the upgrade... I don't have the budget for anything more than this at the moment and I really want to get into the Sony e-mount lens ecosystem. I want to know, if I get a lens, I'll be able to use it at the next body upgrade as well. At least till I go full frame. Btw, what do think about this setup: The Sony a6000, Sigma 18-50mm (full frame equivalent: 27-75mm) f2.8 and the Sigma 16mm (full frame equivalent: 24mm) f1.4? Watched a lot of reviews and everyone says that they are both very good solid lenses. Professionally speaking, at the moment, I do events and portraits photography, so that's why I also want that 16mm. To have a lens with f1.4 with a friendly budget for low lighting environments. I actually found some good second hand deals. And, for my personal enjoyment I'm into almost any type of photography, car, portraits, landscape, sport, etc.
Thank you so much for the comment and kind words. It is a great camera to upgrade to from the D3400. I get that for sure. Cameras are expensive haha. I would suggest getting a full frame lens if you plan to upgrade in the future. Any crop lens will always show a vignette on full frame. For sure splurge on the lens as that is the most important thing you can get. It sounds like you are going down the right road and have done your research. Let me know if you have any other questions in the future and I would be happy to answer them, Cheers!
@@KarlWeinreichThank you for taking the time to read and reply to my comment. I appreciate it. I understand, buying full frame lenses would be the smart move long term. Obviously, at some point, I will have to go full frame. That's why I also said that there. So, I do plan to go full frame in the future, but the future that near. Because, full frame lenses, once again are a little more expensive. I'll stick with cropped for the moment.
I upgraded to the 6100 to have a little throw around camera when I’m not using my more higher end stuff like my a7iv. The 6100 is is a whole different league vs the old 6000.
That is a great choice also! I will have to get my hands on that guy and try it out. How much did you pay for the A6100? Thanks for the comment, cheers!
Bro, I sold my 2014 year old Sony A6000 some months ago and I still regret it. Even though I have not used it for a year lol
Ah man! Maybe get another one. Such a great camera for the price. Thanks for the comment!
Hey! I am wondering if this better than what I have which is an iPhone XR. I want to know if it shoots good photos and video.(primarily videos) Thanks!
Hey! Thanks for the comment, I think it is. The photos are for sure better. The video won’t be as crisp as the 4K you get on the iPhone. But there is something still better about the image. Cheers!
@@KarlWeinreich Oh thanks! Reply was helpful!
Would this camera be good for shooting closeup car/products videos ? And does it need a gimball stabiliser ?
It all depends on what lenses you have. It is most definitely capable of creating great images for a cheaper price. But you are giving up a lot of the features that newer cameras have. It also does not have any stabilization built in so you would need a gimbal. Thanks for the comment, Cheers!
Considering my choice of a photography camera, would you recommend the Sony A6000 instead of the Fujifilm XT-100?
It all depends on budget. Are you buying new? Are you buying used? Is it for a hobby or are you wanting it for work?
@@KarlWeinreich I'm using it for a hobby especially photography, just moved from Lumix G7 which is basically a videography oriented camera, and can't decide between the two as I found the used XT-100 (good condition) only 50 dollar higher price than the used Sony A6000. I'm into product and street photography but mostly product, and mainly indoors
I have never used the XT-100 but from a specs perspective it looks as if you really couldn't go wrong with either. I think this really comes down to lenses and such. Do you have E-Mount lenses already? If so then its easy. If not I would see what that XT-100 does. Thanks again for the comment. Cheers!
I have sony a7s2 and sony a 630 ...which one SD card suitable for 4k shoot ...?
Any V30 Card will do what you need. I would get a V60 card just for the added speed. Thanks for the comment, Cheers!
Fornthose thatvdidntvknow.
If you update to lat3st firmware, yiu get 1080p 60fps in xavcs 50 mbit internal with cine profiles and slog2 just like a72 and a7s1.
I did not know that! Thanks for the info, Cheers!
Bro i am looking forward for buying a camera this month and i am confused as hell which one to buy…. I am having a budget of 60k (rupees) and in this range we dont get quite a good option the canon m50 markII sony z v e10 and nikon z30…. So will it be worth it to buy the sony a 6000 with dual kit lens? Will it a good decision buying it? Pls kindly guide me
Man, that is tough! The Sony ZV-E10 has some of the new features from the flagships so I would say that may be your best option in the Sony landscape. The Nikon looks great also but you will have more lens options for the Sony in the future. The a6000 is great if you are looking for mainly a photo camera but want to do very little video. It can do it but it is not as good as the others. You can't go wrong with any of them as long as you are creating with them. I suggest save on the body as much as you can and spend the most on the lenses you are looking for. Hope that helps and thanks for the comment! Good luck, Cheers!
Ciao ottimo video, sono d'accordo con te, ho la Sony 6000 con 50 mm Sony 1.8 e va benissimo, la Sony 6300 con 18 135 Sony me l'hanno rubata dal baule della macchina in un supermercato, per rimpiazzarla per video 4K ho preso la ZW 10 con 24 105 G ma dalle prime prove fotografiche mi sembra che il 18 135 sia più inciso
Grazie mille per il commento e le belle parole! Mi dispiace tanto per il furto della tua fotocamera. Non puoi sbagliare con il 6300 di sicuro. Il 18-135 è un ottimo obiettivo. Non puoi battere quella lunghezza focale. Non li ho mai confrontati da un lato all'altro, quindi dovrò crederti sulla parola. Grazie per il commento, ciao!
@@KarlWeinreich Ciao, grazie per la risposta, nella fotografia non esiste tutto o niente ma questo o quello un compromesso, ho preso il 24 105 per quello che avevo visto su You Tube pur avendo APSC e non sono sicuro al cento per cento di quello che ho detto non avendo più il 18 135 ma ho solo fatto degli scatti negli stessi posti e ho visto che il 18 135 ha dato dei risultati leggermente migliori in fatto di definizione, ma le variabili sono davvero tante per decidere ma saperlo prima avrei risparmiato in soldi e leggerezza ma sono contento il 25 105 è fatto molto bene.auguri!
Non potresti avere più ragione! Ciò che funziona per uno potrebbe non funzionare per l'altro. RUclips può essere molto pericoloso quando si tratta di ciò che si dovrebbe comprare ahah. Grazie ancora per la conversazione!
How about the sony a6000 camera for street photography only?Which lens would be better? Which contains stabilizer?
Hey! Yeah, great question. This camera is great for street photography and I would check out the Sony 16-50 kit lens. They are cheap and look great! Here is a video I made about that lens. ruclips.net/video/4XWwDo7aMI8/видео.html
I would also go for any manual vintage lens with an adapter.
Cheers!
Sigma 18-50 2.8, sigma 30mm or the sony 35 oss 1.8 are stunning lenses for street
Those are all great options for sure, thanks for the comment!
Viewfinder is why I want one
That is a great reason to want one for sure! It makes it nice. Thanks for the comment, Cheers!
Your honest opinion
Should I get Sony a6000 or canon 60d?
I am about to get a camera but I want to go into portraits majorly but I will still do other types though.
But is Sony a6000 worth the money?
Great question! The fact that the a6000 is a mirrorless camera and has a 24mp sensor is what sets it apart from the 60D. Even though the 60D is cheaper used and takes great photos, I would still for myself go with the a6000 as I already have lenses and such. I would say however that if it was purely on price I would get the 60D as it will do a great job for what you are looking for. Canon colors are great and there are a ton of lenses for them, they are reliable and will last a long time also. Not that Sony won't but for the price, I think it's a great camera. I hope that helps and I wish you the best of luck in your endeavor into portrait photography! Thanks for the comment, Cheers!
@@KarlWeinreich Thanks a lot God bless you.
The Canon 60D is more expensive here in Nigeria, The A6000 is cheaper here.
Which lens can you suggest with the A6000 if I am to get it?
I see, the Sony 16-55mm kit lens is a great place to start! I have a video about it here: ruclips.net/video/4XWwDo7aMI8/видео.html
@@KarlWeinreich thanks alot
Sorry, but someone said I should consider buying 7d
Is it any better than 60d?
@@mamaadura9831 still a DSLR, the a6000 has all the benefits of Mirrorless cameras (RUclips and Google have great explanations of the benefits) so I'd still pick it! Also, for a lens I'd look into something with an aperture that'll open wide for good background blur. The sigma 30mm f1.4 sold like hotcakes for e-mount and you should be able to find one used for a decent price! Best of luck
Have you figured out the best solution for audio??
There are some good options for audio. But I do have a video specifically about fixing bad audio here: Make Any Mic Sound Amazing: Adobe's Cutting-Edge AI Speech Enhancement 🤯
ruclips.net/video/MUPeSmAmcuQ/видео.html
Thank you, I was just curious I use the a7iii more but the a6000 still such a cool camera just to have laying around
Totally agree, The a7III is a amazing camera and is in that same class as the a6000 now. You can find them cheaper and still get a lot of life out of it.
It is good for product photography like clothes ?
Yeah, absolutely. You will mostly be relying on good lenses and lights for clothes photography. The 24MP sensor will give you great photos. Maybe use a tripod if you are shooting at lower shutter speeds due to lighting or if you aren’t shooting with steady-shot lens. Thanks for the comment, cheers!
Is this camera capable for wildlife photography?
Hey thanks for the comment 🙏 Yes you absolutely can as it has a faster then most FPS. The lenses are really going to be the thing I would invest in. A 70-200 will give you great reach on the aps-c sensor. Hope that helps! Cheers!
hi, is it wifi capable?
YEP!
The Sony a6000 is WI-FI enabled and allow direct connection from camera to smartphone. Simply enable the camera to become a WIFI hotspot, and use Sony's “Play Memories” app, and you can directly transfer, even without a nearby WIFI network.
Thanks for the comment, Cheers!
Can anyone answer is the a6000 and alpha a6000 the same camera?
They are indeed the same camera. Thanks for the comment, cheers!
This one or canon m6 mk1?
I have never used the M6 but I am sure you couldn't go wrong with either. It comes down to lenses for me. You just have way more options for the Sony E-Mount. Thanks for the comment, Cheers!
bro how to make a6000 dont turn off after 30 mins is it possible?if i buy for live stream
Hey, here is a great article for making that happen. I will also make a video about this in the future. sonyphotoreview.com/how-to-use-sony-a6000-as-a-webcam/#:~:text=Display%E2%80%9D%20to%20ensure%20that%20the,three%20items%20you'll%20need.
Thanks for the comment, Cheers!
which lens is the best/sharpest with a6000?
That is tough to say. If budget isn't a thing I would say any of the GM lenses will be the sharpest and as they are a native mount, they will also have great auto focus and be fast. But if you are looking for a do all sharp lens then the 18-105 Sony G APS-C lens is great!
