Introducing the Sony A6000
Four years have passed since Sony launched its first NEX-5 mirrorless camera in tandem with its younger sister, NEX-3. Is this a big time for the photo market? Apparently big: after four years, not only a whole series of new models appeared - the system “grew” with a solid fleet of optics, expanded with full-frame cameras, acquired the possibility of expanding the functionality through applications ... Something else that happened was curious: the name of the system itself - NEX . Recently, Sony mirrorless cameras have the same name format as other system cameras of the company, without any prefixes. For example, the hero of our test today, a semi-professional compact camera with interchangeable lenses, is named Sony Alpha A6000.
Check out the prices and offers of the Sony Alpha A6000.

This time I will test the camera in real field conditions. Together with four lenses, I put the Sony A6000 in a photo backpack and go for three days to London. Only three days to figure out all the settings, get comfortable with the interface and get great pictures from the trip - but I don’t agree on anything less. Can the camera handle it? We will see…
