Low light performance ; Rounded specification ; Solid design ; Good Connectivity

Lacks a standout feature ; LCD could be better

This light-collecting efficiency allows for improved low-light shooting and reduced noise throughout its ISO sensitivity range of ISO 100 to 25,600.

Small size ; Great EVF ; Built-in Wi-Fi & NFC

No touchscreen ; Screen not fully articulated ; Frustrating AF set process

Sony has come within a whisker of creating the perfect CSC in the shape of the A6000, with just a few niggles stopping it being very good indeed.

Quick and responsive ; Tilting LCD ; High-resolution APS-C sensor

Blocky ; minimalist design ; No touchscreen ; Battery not as good as A5000

Keenly priced, built-in electronic viewfinder, tilt-angle LCD, great build quality, impressive high-res image quality, 11fps and AF-S an achievement at this price

Some autofocus accuracy slip-ups, battery life needs to be better, no touchscreen, JPEG processing a little harsh for higher ISO sensitivities

All told the Sony A6000 is an echo of its earlier NEX-6 model, making it a sensible balance of small and light but also powerful and capable of producing great images. We love the built-in electronic viewfinder, tilt-angle LCD screen and the step...

Incredibly fast, accurate autofocus ; Tiny, lightweight and sturdy ; Big, clear electronic viewfinder ; Impressive still and video quality

No in-body image stabilisation

A superb mid-ranger that puts the “compact” into compact system camera

The Sony Alpha 6000 has seriously fast continuous shooting for the money, and its design improves upon its predecessor's already excellent one. Plus it's got an extensive feature set.

The movie record button remains annoying, and while it delivers excellent photo quality, it's not best-in-class in low light. It's also slow on startup.

Despite small annoyances, the Sony Alpha 6000 is a great overall camera for more advanced photographers who want something smaller than a dSLR, especially if they need the continuous- shooting speed.

Outstanding image quality ; Lightweight design with big grip ; Easier to use UI than previous NEX UI

Overly sensitive electronic viewfinder sensor ; Long buffer times after burst shooting ; Oddly positioned movie recording button

The Sony A6000 is another home run for consumers of all skill levels. Sony continues to set the bar high with a lightweight camera design, stunning image quality and incredible speed, all for a reasonable price.
