What are your thoughts on the Sony A6000 in 2024?

@Durio_zibethinus 2 месяца назад

Especially with a new viltrox 56mm f/1.7 at $139, mirrorless feels so affordable this day. After learning the menu, Custom buttons are your best friend with this camera. A6000 is like Lumix G7, a camera for who knows what they're doing, or willing to learn about it. One is good at photo with overheat issue, the other is 4K powerhouse with dinky AFC. But if the person is a seasoned photographer, I'd say go for it and save some cash for a nice lenses or flash. I will recommend saving up a little bit for A6100 instead though, in case if it's aimed at an average beginner. A6100 is like a pre-cooked meal, easy and good enough.

I got the A6000 with the Viltrox 56 f1.4 and sigma 18-50 just like you recommended on your 2024 Beginner photographer guide and I'm loving it. Thanks to you!

I still have my a6000. It has been with me for 8 years now; I've used it for travel and work and by now have a pretty good amount of accessories and lens for the e-mount system. Every time I am tempted to upgrade, common sense kicks in: I use it for product photos and travel/street photography, and for that, it is still amazing. I have no complaints whatsoever. It is reliable, DURABLE (still looks brand new and no button or knob is faulty or loose, and the mount is just as robust as ever). I'm not even interested in selling it; that's how happy I am with my camera.

I agree with the screen... it's a little dim in bright sunlight, but it's not deal breaking. I'll also have to get that cover for rainy days as i really enjoy taking photos on those days! Also do you have an affordable recommendation for a 56 or 85mm lens for this camera?

A lot of the younger people who only know their smartphones for photography will find it difficult to understand or not believe a ten-year old camera like this can actually take better photographs when compared to the Android or iPhone equivalents.

I traded a fiddly little Panasonic TZ100 in for my A6000 some time back and couldn't be happier, I wanted the TZ as a simple daily but it was just to fiddly and a right faff to use in manual mode, the A6000 is simple, cheap, easy to use and always gets the shot.. I should add I traded it in with CEX who give a 2 Year!! warranty on used camera kit, as mentioned in one of your other vids anyone buying the Sony, turn flight mode on and switch off the eye sensor for the view finder, saves the battery. Great vid cheers chap 👍

@CtrlCthenV Месяц назад

I am just getting into photography and I am liking the shots that my a6000 takes versus my cellphone. I dislike how I have to hold my phone because I have a essential tremor, but with the Sony I feel like I can get a better grip that reduces how much I shake. Its usually enough for the anti-shaking stuff that is built into the camera. One thing I wanted to point out that there is a cell phone app that is like a remote control/viewing for the phone. So you could take your selfies if you wanted with a hot shoe to cell phone converter which are ubiquitous and cheap. I only thought a small number of Sony cellphones could use this feature but I guess its universal for any phone. Anyway this is my first time on your channel so I am going to go through your backlog. I see some stuff I am excited for already.

wow the A6000 is 10 years old? well in 2014 I was finishing college and I was shopping around for this camera to see if I wanted to dip my toes into the Sony E mount, still, a hair higher than I would like to pay for a 24mp camera with no weather sealing, what I would gain is 4 more FPS and going mirrorless compared to my current body.

@Moshe_Dayan44 Месяц назад

I have an A6000, and I'm seriously considering the A6700. If you can possibly swing it, try to find a Sony 18-105mm F4 used as your next lens for the A6000. I manged to snag one used for $500 Canadian a couple of years ago, and really, it's so versatile, I almost never use any other lens, as it has in-lens image stabilization/steady shot for video, and quite good (though not perfect) optical quality. So you can switch from shooting stills to shooting a movie without even changing the lens. Awesome.

@math001 26 дней назад

Personally it's the autofocus that is just my small issue with this camera. The new ones are just so much better. Other than that, it's still really good especially with good lens. Wouldn't really notice the difference vs a newer APSC on edited photos if you posted it in something like Instagram.

@paulm8157 2 месяца назад

Lively vid, points valid. (To keep Curtis quiet, just tie his hands😊😊.) A6k was my first interchangeable mirrorless cam. It had its issues (replaced body lens flange - DIY job - and quirky hot shoe). Also had cute built-in flash w/tiltable head. One “feature” was downloadable add-on apps from Sony play store (now discontinued). Did your used model come w/any of them? In addition to e-mount lenses there are a host of adaptable vintage lenses to be used; I used old Pentax and Nikon film cam lenses. Kit lens has lots of distortion that is corrected in Lightroom - turn off lens correction tab and see. Cheers!

@jhirse3547 2 месяца назад

The trick to get a little more punch out of high ISO pictures is to set the in-camera noise reduction to low. Yes, more grain, but also more details. I'm now much more relaxed about high ISO shooting since I adjusted that setting. Beyond, for stills, the a6000 keeps shining. One can build a more-than-decent pre-owned camera kit around this body. Samyang 12mm MF for wide angle, Sony 35mm F1.8 for portraits and every day shooting, just to name two...
