I agree with everything you say Jaden, but thought I'd add a few other things I like about it. 1. It is light - without lens 344 g (0.76 lb / 12.13 oz), so great for travel. 2. It is small - again great for travel. 3. While it uses the APS-C format which is different from full frame (look it up if you want), the E lenses are cheaper and lighter, but the main goody is that you get the benefit of 1.5 magnification. I needed a better zoom lens and have just bought a Sony E 70-350mm f4.5-6.3 G OSS Lens for under £800. That's equivalent to 105-525mm on full frame. It has autofocus, OSS optical image stabilisation (less blurring) and only weighs 625g. The lightest full frame 500mm lens is 1.46kg! That low weight and OSS means that I can usually takes photos with full zoom without needing a tripod. 4. I rarely use it but it can take RAW as well as JPEG. 5. When it came out (2014), it claimed to be fastest autofocus camera in the world. It clearly isn't fastest any more, but that still makes it pretty good. I terms of simplicity I generally use A (aperture priority) with HDR for static objects, and S for moving ones. A6000 vs A6400...A6600. A new A6000 is less than 1/3 the price of the others. If you aren't sure I suggest you buy a new A6000, treat it carefully and then see what the more recent ones have to offer. If you want to change, sell the A6000 in good condition and you'll get a lot of your money back. Any lenses you buy will fit the new camera. You can of course buy used. If you do, go to the best store you can find or you'll get ripped off in terms of quality. I sold an old camera in average condition - the good stores refused to buy it from me, a cheap one was happy to give me some money!
I agree, don't get into full frame until you are sure you can affoard the lenses and carry them with no fatigue. The sharpest lens in the camera world is APSC.
While not often regarded as high quality lenses. The 16mm and 20mm kit lenses are fun to use. I actually have some of my favorite photos on them. They only way like 60g and a 1.4 16 ways like 400g. Makes a big difference. Lately I am not noticing a huge difference in lense qualities mainly getting the lighting right seems to be the key
Yeah it’s all about the lighting, just getting out and shooting is key. I’ve seen people with the highest end cameras taking the worst photos. I still need to buy a prime lens for this camera. I can’t wait till I can!
I bought the A6 years ago and never used it because the phone took over for me. I need a light camera for travel so pulled it out and am catching up on how to use it so good to see this, thanks 😊
Just got into photography after digging this camera out of the nightstand and it is absolutely amazing. put a manual lens on it and run full manual and i love it.
Answer to your question …. YES! I bought this camera, since it was first marketed and available in the UK! One awesome EDC (Every Day Carry) camera! Just ordered a TTArisan 28mm f3.5 lens with Metabone Leica M - E Mount adapter. Looking forward to using this combination!
I bought this camera secondhand with kitlens for 250 euro. I do not use the kitlens, I bought a new Sigma 18-50mm F2.8 and a really strange zoom, the Tamron 18-300mm. It really is a nice camera, thanks for nice vlog.
Can I ask where anyone seems to find the a6000 for less than £300/350 euros with kit lens atm? Not having any luck picking up a reasonably priced system.
Honestly if you’re buying local (best way) you can make conversation then ask what people would let them go for. You can always try eBay (downside is you don’t get to see it till it arrives and taxes). Unfortunately I think there is a slight rise in popularity of the a6000 so I think even 400 you’re getting a great fun camera
Just remember shutter count, you may just have to replace the shutter. It could happen now, in a year, or a while. Your new to you used camera may have already had the shutter replaced. I hear for sony's you usually have to send it to sony in America, some repair shops won't do it for sony, but that is what I've heard. I was watching so many videos on "Sony a6000 in 2024" etc. Not a single content creator mentioned shutter count. I went out and bought the Sony a6000, the physical condition looked pretty mint, but after 20 shutter releases, the screen showed "camera error: turn off camera then back on" but really you have to take out the battery for the error screen to go away. Anyways, I got my money back thankfully. I came from a Canon apsc dslr. Did not know or even think that shutter count is a thing or a wear and tear thing. For the amount that the new shutter and labor, I would might as well just got a brand new camera. I payed 500usd for the body and kit lens. Then plus new shutter. I could get an a6700 for a few hundred more.. Keh, nor mbp show shutter count in the description, or specs. So be cautious of shutter count and issues when taking the used camera route. I'll buy used electronic lenses all day, but I'd think twice about a used camera body now.
Owned mine for 10 years and have never had a problem! Unfortunate to hear you had a failure but great you got your money back! Video is more for beginners. They don’t need more cameras thrown at them, just something that allows them to get out and practice composition
I’m sure in the correct hands (not mine) the camera can perform well! However the camera lacking a mic input jack the audio might not be the best. I only use it for photos. Also thank you I appreciate it!
For basic videos it isn't bad and because it's light that makes it easier. There is also a dedicated video button. I don't use it for audio, but agree it wouldn't be much use if I did. There are mics that attach to the hot-shoe available. I've no idea how good they are and too expensive for me to get one in case I want to see if it's worth it!
I use an a6000 for work all the time. I really like the Sony 16/2.8. It's a little soft in the corners, but it focuses really fast and it's small and light. Fun camera for walking around.
The colors look weird, cold greenish. My Canon cameras the colors look great 90% of the time. My Sony mirrorless cameras colors only look good 10% of the time. I really don't like spending massive amounts of time trying to tweak the colors to make them look right. Other than that and the terrible menu system they're pretty great.
Once the settings are set in camera I never use the menus, however I do find canon menus more user friendly! As for the colors a small bit of editing is worth it. Done is better than perfect. Yeah canon is great with colors out of camera
I personally have never owned or used a A7 camera. Also depends on what you need it for. A7 cameras are directed at professionals and the a6000 is more so a hobbyist camera. For me the a6000 is great because it’s small, has a flash and is cheap in price
If it’s for RUclips or yourself probably, professional work probably not quite. However I don’t do videography, so I’m probably not the best person to ask. For stills this is an amazing camera
@@JadenWhite bro did you just say "Ef" instead of "e" lens? 🤣🤣🤣 i bet you owns a Canon right? ...just sold my 2nd dslr 5D mark II - and two prime lens 35mm and 50mm ... cuz i have two of them of each...
Hmmm hard to say, depends what your needs are. I know they have the same sensor but the a6400 has a better processor. I’d say find a specific video on RUclips that compares them! Once you make a decision good lenses will be more important
Thanks for the video! I make jewelry and something to take photos of my jewelry that can show details like stone settings and prongs. Would this camera work?
If you’re shooting jewelry you’d need a macro lens for the Sony E mount! (If you’re doing close up shots) so yes I would say this definitely could get you started!
@nainfuego tbh I’ve never had a macro lens from sony. I’d say your best bet is to Google it and find one that fits your price range! Don’t forget to watch a few RUclips video reviews on them!
@@JadenWhite no really you don’t need to take a hammer to it, take off the black plastic then you have to remove the metal part like a keychain. and you can still attach some straps, I use one on my wrist with my NEX 7
New Sony A6000 Video !!!
ruclips.net/video/OjogO6V_Rw8/видео.htmlsi=avitx69uoI_NxQtK
I have an a 6000 and bought in 2015. still good. all you just need is a good lens like sony E 70-350mm.
Or the sigma 18-50mm 2.8! I still wanna try that lens out !
I would be weary of the sigma sometimes the connection can fail (mine did). Usually native is the way to go@@JadenWhite
What about for videography like music videos??
Damn hopefully you got a refund !
I personally do not shoot music videos or videography! I’m sure you could !

This is an overwhelming yes for me, I love my a6000 and I plan on getting a few more more multicam
I’m starting to love mine too! I’m even getting used to the kit lens and I’m loving it too!
I bought the A6 years ago and never used it because the phone took over for me. I need a light camera for travel so pulled it out and am catching up on how to use it so good to see this, thanks 😊
Glad to hear that!! Yeah mine sat in my shelf for yearrrrrssss before I picked it back up

Good deal!! I want to get the 18-50 sigma! That will be the zoom lens that will replace my kit lens. The prime I want is the 30mm 1.4 from sigma
@@JadenWhite Yes, the Sigma zoom is great!

I've bought my used a6000 last month (September 2023) for only $235 and its still look brandnew with only 1000+ shutter count. its my first camera 😊
Nice review, i have 2. Love adapting vintage lenses.
Ohhhh I bet the results are great!
Tamron 17 70 2.8 also very good
I’ll have to look into it! I’ll be buying some more stuff for my a6000 soon !

At least they are relatively cheap now being 10 years old! I still use mine till this day

Hugs from Brazil, my friend
Did you film that video with sony a6000 ?
This video was shot on the Canon R5, it is my current video camera for all my RUclips videos!
Got mine 2nd hand like new with Sigma1.4 for £530 uk total
Stoked for you! I’ve still been waiting for one to pop up in my area! Probably will just use eBay
Considering my choice of a photography camera, would you recommend the Sony A6000 instead of the Fujifilm XT-100?
I’d say find out what your needs are and then make a camera choice based on that!
Is this camera good for moving sports action?
I’d say probably not, it can shoot decently fast but you’d drain the battery very fast
Just bought a Sony A6000 ...and I still have the Canon EOS 5D MarkII
Awesome set up! What’s your go to EF lens,?
