He sounds like a salesman... oh wait.

The best Sony A6000 review on the RU-vid, for me Keep up the great job Camera Store TV

Really wish you had also used a kit lens in addition to the $900 Zeiss.

These are some of the best camera reviews I've seen. Good length, good information and well presented.

In a sea of ​​videos with the intention to promote and market brands your channel coming out best. You are always (almost) impartial and makes amazing videos at a speed which no other channel can follow up. definitely one of my favorite channels on youtube. Keep it up the awesome job guys :) Regards from Oslo/Norway.

You guys are the best photography channel on youtube. definitely deserve way more subs!

Finally... u have no idea how glad i m now...waited too long .... Thank u

The best team on the internet for camera reviews ......

All these shots of him talking are so professional and not at all intrusive feeling. Nice work! :)

Your presentations are engaging and informative. You handle your subject matter with skill. Thanks.

hahaah that kid falling at the end

And once again, nice clean to the point analysis and review.. And that is why like it, one if not the best down to earth camera gear (and video) reviews in youtube. Thanks!

thanks for all your great reviews. keep going

The way you swing that cam around in the beginning, I thought you'd smash it straight into the ice sign. Nice review, quite informative.

I find my self watching ur videos just because ur so entertaining and animated when u speak keep up the amazing work your really good at what u do. Iv decided on the a6000 after watching ur videos on it

Full credit to this guy, hes probably the best on youtube for providing us with a good in depth reviews of cameras. Many thanks.

Fantastic review of an awesome camera. I'll be picking one of these up for my videos sometime next week.

Excellent presentation!!!!

Just ordered mine, can't wait to get it!

Great video! I am actually thinking of getting the a6000 for my videos. Super impressed by what i’ve seen from everyone so far

When Chris puts on the shades at the start.. **dies** LOL

perfect review and test thanks

Thank you for the review , thinking about purchasing one...

These videos you bring are great, you pull no punches and that's why I like it, it's a real review thank you for all your hard work you guys do, also yes his hands are little girly hands but that's ok cause mine are too it's easier for us to work these small cameras Chris and Jordan you guys are awesome, so if you had to choose between a6000, x-t1, which would you choose or should I just wait for the gh4 I do love 4k

I'll be sticking with my NEX-6 and Zeiss 16-70, but it's good to know Sony is making some solid improvements. Great video. Covered any questions that I would have asked.

great in depth review, helped me make my decision!

Chef Studio Japan, over your shoulder shot in between two buildings. A favorite sushi spot in Canmore ! Good review Chris !!!

Hey, thanks for your review. Perfect execution of how such reviews should be done... Back to camera. Even it is really "old" now I'm gonna buy the a6000 since there is no direct successor of that model yet and also because the price is good comparing to its value now. Thank you.

Keep it up guys.

thanks for mentioning the bag!

love those Ona bags, i have a Brixton and it is great.

Great review as always, thanks! Detailed and impartial. I'd buy one from you if I didn't live on the other side of the world....

When do you guys at TCSTV start daily content? It's so good :)

Are you using 60 frames per second? What frame rate do you use? It looks really smooth! :)

Nice video great job ......hello from Italy

Great review as usual, but I would have loved it going a smidge more in depth... Anyway, like you I deplore the loss of the TriNavi, but do have both the A6000 and 16-70 on order. Thanks for the review, I feel reassured about the AF speed !

Maybe was already asked, sorry for the dumb question: what lens did you used on the FS700 to record this? Thanks!!

Another great review guys! Jordan, did you try 16-70mm f4 Zeiss on FS500?

I agree with you on many of your points except one in particular. I like that it has a mode dial. Its an absolute must on any camera in my opinion. Why would someone want to go through a menu system to change mode if they didn't have to. Therefore I'm glad they made one of the two control rings a mode dial.

Hi, I found your review one of the best and informative. I have a quick question: apart from the kit lens which lens do you recommend for sony A6000?

I hate that everyone is testing this camera with the high end zeiss lenses. I would like to see a test with the lower range e mounts as well.

Wonderful test, it's a top of mirrorless camera.

Sitting here in Gothenburg Sweden watching and though damn that looks like Canmore... Haha it was the first city I moved to from Ontario!! Love that place!! Thanks for the review buddy

Great review! I just ordered my A6000 and can't wait to get my hands on it. BTW, that jacket is killer. Where did you get it?

Great vid as always (but no more Jordan vid part ?) and what about the lens (zeiss 16-70) ? Did you think it worth its high price compare to the kit ?

That is ridiculously quick AF!!!

nice review, btw, what is that camera bag you are using? looks neat. cheers

I have been printing large canvas wraps (77x36) from my 70D and 6D. I am selling all my canon stuff and moving to sony. For video I have TWO a7s bodies but I need a still camera. For stills I will mostly be shooting landscape so I'll be at f22 ISO100 and long exposures. How would the a6000 perform as compared to the 70D and 6D? Thanks

Great review, thanks!! I've got Nex-6 camera as my first mirrorless cam and I like it a lot. As you also mentioned, I don't see much of an improvement on going from nex6 to alpha6000. Might sound out of scope but, I'm planning on keeping my nex-6 for good and buy a mark3 one day as my prime gear :) I have to live that feeling of carrying a huge bulky thing with me, I envy it too much :D Cheers!

Great review! Would you recommend this A6000 or the nikon D5300? I shoots general photo, family, events, traveling. Do you think the D5300 is too bulky for traveling?

do you shoot in P mode a lot when doing these videos cause... I'm just always confused over your exif data for all your photos. no shade, just curious. Love the videos BTW i always look for your review when checking out gear

I just picked one up for 315 and a 50 1.8 for 130 cant wait to start using this little beast.

How does it compare w EM-1, XT-1 in terms AF speed and tracking accuracy, and shutter sound(many users care about this a lot, but most reviewers don't bother to mention)? Thx for the review. Well done.

Good brief review that hits all the major points. As an NEX-7 user looking for a 2nd body I was concerned about the lower resolution of the electronic viewfinder, so I'm glad you addressed that. I totally agree with your assessment of handling on the NEX-7. Sadly the best handling and ergonomics I've found is not on any Sony NEX's but on the Olympus OM-D E-M1. Worlds apart. But the image quality difference comes down to the Sony's larger sensor. Chris, you may want to do that comparison: OM-D E-M1 versus the Sony a6000. Thanks for the great review.

would love to see a video on the canon m3 .... and compare it to the sony a6000. it would be really funny to do a sequel to the talking camera dinner party, but now with the canon m3, a6000 and other newer mirrorless cameras.

Hi! As always, thanks for your video reviews. Do you guys have info about the clean HDMi output? Sony's website only mentions 60i and 60p out. No way to get a 24p signal? Also, any possibility to confirm whether it's 8bits 4:2:2? Got lots of conflicting info so far. Thanks

Very nice video. I have one question if you have time. I am interested in getting a mirrorless camera and was curious how the a6000 compared to something like the Canon 6d in image quality and overall function for both still shots and general shooting?

handsome guy. and awesome video! just bought a Sony a6000 today :)

This camera looks amazing!! Would you recommend for makeup photography??

I saw your Canon M3 review and liked the way you see these things. Wich one do you think is better to begin? I mean, not for video, just for photos.

I liked the review and the coat, i have canon 650 or t4i, and I'm looking for combat camera to replace the canon, so what do you recommend?

Hi Chris. I am impressed by the specs and image quality of the Sony A6000 and am planning to buy one. I have found a couple of options for the kit lens. One with 16-50mm and another which also includes a 50-210mm telephoto lens. I am interested in taking pictures of friends, family, landscapes and also low light photography. Should I go for a prime 50mm f1.8 instead of the telephoto. Please suggest. Also please tell me if there is a difference among Sony A6000, A6000L and A6000Y

I watched your videos and I would like to hear from you, which one among those cameras do you recommend, D5500, T6s, a6000, a7II, a77II. Choose one :)

Hey TCS TV. Can you do a ILCE-6000 VS. ILCA-77M2 showdown to see which one tracks better when the subject is moving in the Z/X-axis? Like when someone/something is coming/moving towards you? Use the SAL70200G for the a77m2 and SEL70200G for the a6000 to track let say a vehicle moving at a constant speed toward the photog. Thanks!

Hi! Thank you for this very informative video! I could really use your help I'm still debating what camera to get. I'm all confused with what is best for me. DSLR or mirrorless, which brand and so on. I've looked at the Canon 700D, the Pentax K50, the Samsung NX30 and now the Sony a6000. I'm getting quite overwhelmed and can't seem to figure out what is the best choice for me. What do you think? I need it for this mostly: - great at still life or product photography (studio photography) These have to have professional quality. - able to print pictures at large scale (up to A0) - great color - good video (studio recording) - expanding possibilities, lenses, flashes - under $ 1000,- Thank you so much! Really appreciate it!

I dunno man, after 20,000 shots out of my NEX 6 the a6000 address and improves things so much, really would consider upgrading from the 6 in my situation. Great video, very helpful, and I like the improvements to the video quality on the a6000 as well.

Thanks for the review TCS. How would you compare the AF performance to say the d800 or 5dmk3?

Hey there, does the Sony a6000 have 4K photo? Great video too, very knowledgeable. :)

First off I'd like to say I'm a huge fan and love you RU-vid channel. I have learned a great deal and I've put it to good use. I just had a few questions and I was wondering if you could help answer them, Best of your capability and knowledge. 1. I am looking to purchase my first Mirrorless camera, I've narrowed it down to two options. The Samsung NX500 and the Sony a5100. I know they are both great cameras, I'm looking for something small and compact when the weight and size of my DSLR is too big, I want the camera that will shoot the best images video is secondary. I have chosen these models because of the LCD screens, and small profile. I like the controls and the gizmos on the NX500, but I also like the variety of extras and lenses that sony offers. Giving your honest opinion what would be the best all round camera? Specially in low light conditions and good dynamic range. If you can please give me your two cents I would really appreciate it. 2. Do you ever plan on reviewing the new Pentax K 70? I think Pentax is coming back and they got some really good equipment. thank you very much

Thanks for the great reviews. For my price point I am down to 2 cameras (body, wide prime, fast 50mm, 70 - 200ish and possibly a kit small zoom at around US$ 1100). Now, a6000 or Pentax Ks2?

hey, what would you recommend for a street photography camera in that price range? great videos.

I've been hearing about vertical & horizontal lines distortions when shooting windows, buildings & brick walls. Have you run some test on that?

Hey... what Shoulder bag are you using in this video? it looks really nice and would love to get one

Wow, this guy does such a great job.

Sound quality is very good, what are your using. I see collar mic, but more details please.

I purchased the a6000 almost purely based on this post... unbiased, professional and worthy... being the amateur that I'am, this sony makes me feel like a pro... but, I'm just a hobbyist... thanks

I'm thinking about buying a camera but I'm not sure if I should go for a DSLR like the Nikon D5500 or the Sony a6000 any thoughts on this? Or maybe wait for the new version of the a6099? And what lens would you guys be recommending for those just the standard lens that comes with the camera or an other one? I am a beginner to photography with fancy cameras I have experience with the standard point and shoot cameras tough.

Having gone back and watched this video now in mid-2016, I'm wondering if you had any premonitions that the A6000 was going to be such a successful selling camera? Somehow it seemed to hit a sweet spot on size, speed and quality that made it very popular.

Hi Chris , nice review. I was thinking of selling the sony nex 6 and buying the sony a6000 , but after your review , I have serious doubts .

Hi! Great review. A7R or A6000? I want use it for video recording. Thx

It would be great if you guys could maybe use the Kit lens's more often for people who maybe can't afford a thousand dollar lens :)... overall really love the a6000

well done

Can't believe that this camera is still so good even several years after it was released.

This bag is nice. Especially grey one. Its all natural leather? Sadly we cant see inside of it on photos or on video.

Hi Chris, I really enjoy videos!! I'm thinking about purchasing the a6300. If the lens is a constant F4,how is it some of your pictures the aperture is bigger? I'm really new to photography.

Thanks for sharing! I have a quick question: Canon 650d 18-135mm IS STM (secondhand) OR Sony a6000? Would appreciate any response, thanks !!!

Nice Camera, but it seems all the sony mirrorless APS-C line a3000, a5000, and a6000 will no longer have the mic input jack?? Cos I prefer to use some other brand such as the Rode video mic pro?? :(

Would this be a good option instead of a canon 70D for photos as well as video? Its about $150 cheaper than 70D in my country.

Hi, i am new to cameras. Question: if you say sony e-mount lens will it be compatible with sony a6000 camera?

Question! If you were looking between a used NEX-6 and a new A6000 (in a couple months time) and the used was in great condition. As well would save 200 dollars or so. What would you suggest? I'm only asking because you said if you had a NEX-6 now you probably wouldn't "upgrade" to a A6000. Oh-yeah I'm a consumer user and not pro. Thanks for your videos! Very informative.

Chris, on the continuing AF test, again everything is in focus throughout the frame. Not much of a test. Can you test it with a prime wide open?

Which camera did you use to shoot this review? the video quality is amazing!

Can you do a top 5 best compact camera?

Focusing speed is good, but what about accuracy? In my experience with Sony's a65, that thing back focused somewhat frequently and WB was off way too often. Sounds like they've addressed some of that, but I'm really wanting to hear more about the focus accuracy. Thanks!
