Sony A6000 (2024) | Watch Before You Buy 

I have had this camera for about 6 years and its just tucked away in my closet .. you have motivated me to bring it out again

Stop making these videos man, the market price for used ones are increasing because of these videos 😂 , more people are getting into the buying market and thereby the sellers are increasing the price tag. This is affecting people like us by paying more to aquire one lol 😂. Jokes apart another great video , cheers 👍

My mom just gave me this camera and I’m going to start getting into photography. Got into drones recently so this is the next step! Thanks for letting me know I lucked out with a great first camera.

i bought the a6000 (body) used on ebay for 300 bucks, first added the 50 1.8 full frame lens because its unbelievably cheap. lately i upgraded to the tamron 17-70 2.8. this setup is a total beast. perfect for landscape, portrait, productphotography... you name it... it does all of it reeeeally good. on top of that its so lightweight - i can put it on my manfrotto mvg300xm (up to 3.4kg) without any problems and with a flat creative picture profil colour grading is really good for such an old camera (and only 8 bit). can HIIIIIGHLY recommend to beginners! especially with the tamron 17-70!

Great vid! I love my a6000, have had it for ~7 years now. My go-to lens is the Sony 18-135, great balance of zoom and aperture for everyday shooting. Takes really great photos. I hate being on vacation and having to change lenses all the time, so this one stays on my camera most of the time and is a great all-around lens. I also have the Sony 35mm f1.8, which produces amazing photos and video - but I only use it for specific situations.

This guy talks as if this camera is from the mid 90's. Now it's not cutting edge anymore as it is about 10 years old but I got it brand new in 2015 and it still blows competition out of the water. The body alone was $400 back then, meaning that this has stuck true to its value. Mirrorless cameras have gotten better at battery life but with a little bit of management, this camera can last all day. I still have my original battery. Just change up some necessary settings, turn it off when you're not shooting and you're all good. I will say that shooting in jpeg, the colors are bland af right out of the camera but they have a LOT of information which means that they easily improve with some basic editing. But the raw files are amazing.

Should I buy this one?

kay, I’ve always scratched my head about the obsession around the kislux book totes and their practicality, but this one is adorable!! Congratulations

Full HD on this thing is about as sharp as 720p on other cameras. The newer models have 4k that looks waaaay better thanks to downsampling as opposed to selective reading.

combined an a6000 with the sony 50mm 1.8 and its awesome for the price!

I spent $800 on it new like 5 years ago or something. I only used it a couple of times. Maybe I'll dig it out of storage and give it a real try...

I just bought this camera for $320 with box and both lens that it came with. I bought the 56mm sigma and i love it.

Love the a6k, still have and use mine fairly often. Only issue (after it being TEN YEARS OLD) is that the shutter button sometimes "sticks". You either have to restart the camera or, I'm not joking: blow on it a bunch. Apparently it's a pretty easy fix, but I haven't torn apart the camera yet to try.

The a6100 is a much better buy right now. It’s in a whole different league. Can’t recommend it enough over the old a6000.

Just bought one for $400 locally but it’s missing all of its stuff like it’s kit lens and charge cords, BUT it came with a great lens. The Sigma 30mm f1.4. Now… I need to buy batts and start shooting!

Debating on this. A local seller has it Comes with: 50mm f1.8 35mm f1.8 55-210mm f4.5-6.3 16-50mm f3.5-5.6 Remote flasher For 800 not sure if should go that route or a6400 with a sigma 30mm 1.4 for the same price. Beginner getting into photography

I think that all sony cameras on old menu shoot just 12 bit in most modes. There is a way to get 14 bit in a6000 as well for single frames (just like every other sony with old menus). I think because of buffer and processor but it is good trade of (and not very noticable loss)

Mine doesn’t last 15 minutes

recently fujifilm x-e2 is getting a hype so which would be better sony alpha 6000 or fujifilm x-e2 ? could u make a comperism video of it

The thing these newer reviews on A6K don’t talk about that the older ones vs A6300 did is that the 1080 out of this camera is stellar, especially when compared to the new ones.

Wait why did yours say 6400 not 6000 like mine!?

those photos look amazing with that camera, I am looking for a cheap camera to test the waters with Sony E mount and this camera was on a list people recommended for sub $300. Thank you for sharing your experience with this camera.

Just bought mine, I do have mount kit convert for canon lenses though. What should I buy next?

pls help; Sony A6000 or Canon EOS 2000D

Great video I was going to sell mine, but I decided to keep it

How does it compare to the canon r50 or r10

Can you please make a video about the sony nex 6?

Should I go for sony a6100, sony a6400, Sony a600 or canon R50/ m50 mark ii for photography and videography both? Kindly suggest me which should I buy!

For sharper photos I would recommend Sigma f1.4 primes or Sigma 18-50, that sony 55-210 has the reach but isn't particularly sharp lens

Any tips on adding on to the vintage look that this camera gives off while editing ?

Hi, I have the a6000 and use it occasionally for astrophotography and vacations. Nothing fancy or serious. I am thinking of upgrading the camera to a camera with more definition/pixels for sharper photos. What camera would you recommend? Compatible with e-mount lenses please!

What should i buy? Sony a6000 or fujifilm xt100

Had an A55 and the shutter finally died. Just picked up a used A6000. Has anyone used the A mount to E mount lens adapter on the A6000? Hoping to salvage the old lenses!

@TechThroughTheLens Thanks for the recommendation. I just bought the camera with 16-50 PZ kit lens. What can I sub the 55-200mm with E 18-200 mm F3.5-6.3 OSS APS-C Telephoto Zoom Lens with Optical SteadyShot is see them online for $350?

The most importat thing is to get rid of that Kit-Lens the Camera comes with as soon as possible. Spending a bit of money on at least one decent Lense makes such a difference. For the a6000 just getting a new Lens was like getting a whole new Camera.

The photos are soft because of the lenses you're using

I mean it's pretty good tho. The kit lens, yeah if you not a photographer it's still do the job

Great short video... and a very charming model.

Nice. The a6000 can be had for 250 to 300. A6500 is 400 to 500 used. The a6400 iv seen for around same price. And a new a6600 cost now around 1200 usd. Im waiting for the a6600 used around 600 700 usee to replace one of my a6300.

Any cheaper options for the 35mm lens?.

What you think about the ACii for photography portraits and modeling

You make me miss Toronto ! Hi and thanks from Paris

whith camera u use on this video?

What lens did you use for the portraits of the girl? I love the look! Thanks for this review!

Everyone contemplating the 6000 vs the newer models just know that they all have the exact same sensor besides the brand new a6700. You won't get better image quality if you know what you are doing. Af and processors are improved and a few have ibis but they are all the same sensor.

Great video! Like your content. I m looking to buy a cheep body and I’m having a dilemma: Olympus om d e m5 ii, pro body, ibis, touchscreen, fully articulated screen, cheeper lenses but smaller sensor, or alpha 6000 with larger sensor, but lacking in everything else? Can you help me with this dilemma? 😅

I wanted to buy my first camera, is this version ok for beginner? Or should i buy the 6400 version straight away

Will be picking this camera up for 400 euros with 3 spare batteries, 55-200mm, 18-55mm and camera bag.

All those random mistimed transition effects are sooo disrupting. Like why do we see premiere pro at 6:50, it doesn't add anything WHAT IS HAPPENING

For shooting a video like yours (basically, talking in front of the camera), what lenses do you recommend for the Sony a6000? Possibly extra low budget 😅 thank you!

Compared to G7 Lumix, which is better? For cinematic videos and sometimes photography

Can you add luts to it n what setting

Does a6000 have a color filter?

Can you recommend a camera in the same price range that does ,,clean and polished’’ photos…I wanted to get the 6000 but I don’t really like the vintage look

Please guide me. Within two days i am gonna buy a new camera. Should i go for this sony a6000 or Canon r50 ? My preference is solo photography of mine(portrait).

Need some advice camera people found a deal my buddy has he’s upgrading is a Sony a6000 with a 16-50mm lens and shutter count of 5700 good for $380? Comes with batter strap charger. Trying to get into this and don’t know if it’s a good price or not or if shutter count is high

Should i buy a6000 with 16 50 lens having shutter count 15000 at $350

Is it worth getting one that has 30.000 clicks? I'm new to this.. 😅

This or canon m6 mk1?

My cousin is looking for someone who will teach her how to use the camera for taking macro photos (for small objects). She needs to do settings. She will pay for the lessons.

Why would this camera have a "soft, dreamy" look compared to a 6400?

Can the screen face down? Like for easier shoot when the camera's raised?

Hey, my friend. Thanks for the video. I would like to ask you to help me out! I'm a beginner, and I've always dreamed of having a camera since my childhood. Now I decided to buy one. I stuck between A6000 and A6400 (both used). With my budget right now, I can afford an A6000 + Sigma 30mm 1.4 (maybe if I am lucky, a kit lens) or an A6400 + kit lens (both are used). I searched the whole of RU-vid, and I know how fantastic and necessary it is to have a prime lens like what I mentioned. As the prime lens I mentioned is so expensive in my country, I decided to buy the first setup, but I noticed the colors and low-light performance of the A6400 are much better, and I am worried that I will regret buying the A6000. Sometimes I think I'm a beginner, and the A6000 is enough for me. Can you help me? I usually to take pictures in the nature or streets or parks. I was looking for a small and light weight camera for that and I think both are ok in these aspects. I do not know when I can buy a prime lens or even if I will like this area or not! Sometimes I get good photos with my phone. Thank you.

Lumix G7 seems a bit easier to get these days at a fair price due to the A6XXX hype.

I cant find it cheaper then £5-600?

Permisi bertanya, saya dulu pengguna Canon 60D dan mau pindah ke Brand lain Brand Nikon ini kecepatan auto fokus untuk foto nya bagus ya? Tergantung dari prosesor nya betul ga sih?

What about this camera for filmmaking?

"Your angry dog" 😂

Copped one for 120 bucks

pls review fugi xs20

This or the r50?

the video is so interesting but PLEASE stop with these incessant transitions (and failed? image is coming before or after transition but not in the right time..), it really gives headache. would be super cool without the over-editing, calm the rythm, i understand youtube has its codes but that's too much:) otherwise the subject is well covered, thank you

It's a great entry level camera, but way over priced for being almost a decade old, you're better off buying a newer model. I still own an A6000, but I can tell you THE BATTERY LIFE MAKES THIS CAMERA A HARD SALE! If your thinking about buying one I wouldn't pay more than $2-300 dollars, and that's with the body including the basic kit lens. Sure it shoots great pictures, but that's about it.

actually it shoots 11fps iirc

0:49 "Blandest things in your life......" 🤭

Sir, could you do a review on sony a 6700 please?

Is it good for $100

I bought new in 2021 - the shutter packed up a month out of warranty!! Go for something more reliable!! Also it eats batteries like nobodys business!!

All these people saying they have this camera and it’s just sitting there make me sad lol gimme yo camera and let me love it haha

just bought on for $200 just for fun :-D

Photographer

11 fps

All of this guys point are wrong the images are classic sony color its not special photos and this facts are false i highly dont recommend takin any of this guys words to heart at all hes lying to you guys i feel bad for anyone who believes him and his lies

This editing looks like it was made with AI

Love your reviews... I find a lil ironic that the name of your channel is tech through the lens but you rarely review lenses. I adore the camera reviews, however not reviewing lenses is a missed opportunity imho 🙈🥹
