The NEX-6 and NEX-7 replacement is a useful upgrade
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.

The Alpha A6000 is now even better value
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.

The Sony A6000 interchangeable lens camera claims world's fastest auto focus
Quick and responsive ; Tilting LCD ; High-resolution APS-C sensor
Blocky ; minimalist design ; No touchscreen ; Battery not as good as A5000
Expert review by : Mike Lowe (pocket-lint.com)
The Sony A6000 is, in some respects, the older NEX-6 reincarnate. Which puts it in good stead: as far as interchangeable lens cameras go, the NEX-6 was one of our favourite small scale models with a built-in electronic viewfinder, so the Alpha A6000...
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...

Since Sony ditched its NEX name handle it's certainly not ditched the essence of what that interchangeable lens camera line was all about. But now it's

Sony's new system camera may be tiny – but it packs a big photographic punch
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
Expert review by : Lori Grunin (cnet.co.uk)
Sony's follow-up to its NEX-6 laps the field with its 11fps burst and comfortable design.
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.
Expert review by (which.co.uk)
Want to take a quality photo without the faff of carrying round a DSLR? That's what Sony's Alpha A6000 compact system camera (CSC) claims to offer with a 24.3MP (megapixel) resolution, tilting LCD screen and electronic viewfinder. Our test lab reveals...
Expert review by : Raymond Wong (mashable.com)
Priced at just $800, Sony's mirrorless A6000 is the real deal if you're looking to ditch your DSLR.
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.
Expert review by : Wilson Wong (techgoondu.com)
The α6000 is definitely one mirrorless system to go for, more so when there's an upgrade path to the excellent α7 full-frame camera.
