BUDGET CAMERA vs Street PHOTOGRAPHY POV Sony A6000 in 2023

[@EldisUnwraps]

This camera will never go out of date. It's a beast when paired with decent glass, and it won't become obsolete just because we have new ultra premium cameras every year, with gazillion of fancy new features. Because when it comes to basics, and it's capturing light, A6000 is awesome at what it does, and even if you rock a fancy new A1 or something premium, it's awesome as a backup, every day, every situation carry camera.

[@princeroy1837]

which one should i buy? Sony ZV E-10 or Sony A6000?

[@jammaschan]

@@princeroy1837 depends on if you do video or photo. If you do photography, A6000. If video, zve10

[@ahmedbenlahcenee]

How about little bit of both ...any suggestions?

Where you at

[@carterhorrocks5382]

I’ve been shooting on an a6000 for years and still haven’t outgrown it. No need for something more expensive for most people. It’s really impressive. Recently I’ve been thinking it’s time for an A7IV but instead I spent that money on glass, and I’m glad I did. This thing is a beast when you put some expensive FE glass on it.

[@stephaniechow9381]

So i came here trying to get inspiration for shooting on my a6000 because ive been wanting to upgrade to a more pocketable friendly camera like a Ricoh gr iii but also have been trying to be conscious of over consumption and trying to always buy things instead of just using what i have. Not only did i come here truly inspired by the way you shoot your street photography but of a good person you are helping your fellow citizens. You really warmed up my heart when you topped of the elder lady's metro card. Cheers to you!

[@Opticalwander]

Thank you Stephanie 🙏 I think sometimes we limit our creativity because we believe we can be more creative with other (better) gear. When in fact it’s just a battle we’re having with believing we’re capable. If you end and bought a new camera you may find it reignites a part of creativity that you already have you just feel held back by the camera you currently use. It’s not holding you back you just feel like it is. But that’s ok, sometimes we need something new to get us going again. Im not saying go buy a new camera but understand you have the capability to create whatever you want with the camera in your hand. If you want a change that’s totally fine, go for a change and create ❤️

[@mehulshyam404]

Being a sony a6000 user I could confidently recommend anyone looking out for a beginner camera to buy one. But the kit lens is very limited. It's not that sharp and you will struggle a lot with it in indoor conditions because your shutter speed will have to go less than 1/30 to get a decently lit image. I would suggest someone to use the kit lens for maybe 6 months...have a grip of the camera and switch to a prime lens of your choice. I have gone with the 50mm 1.8 OSS and it was an amazing upgrade.

[@asimanmammadli9431]

Instead of long technical stories, boring reviews and blah, blah, you show us real review and quality of camera. This is the video i would like to see before buying anything, not technical specifications which we can already read from the store's website. Thanks!

[@math001]

I only have an A6000 and as a beginner who dips my toes with photography/editing from time to time, I'd say this camera really works amazing. Will probably take a few more years before I can fully outgrow it. Good lenses especially primes extends the lifespan of this so much. Only downside is the video performance but as far as photography goes, it's still a beast. If anyone here is into gaming, this is the 1080 Ti of cameras

[@alexruka]

Dude... My thoughts are the same too! I have this and also a beginner.. I love both of the photos/videos on this beast.. 1080 Ti of cameras! hahaha.. cheers!

[@thedouble1269]

Ace video sam, very kind of you to help those people 😊. I've just upgraded, had my 1st DSLR for just over a year and have just got one of these, the Sony A6000 😁 very happy so far with it,.just need to get myself some more lenses. Currently just using the Sony FE 28-70mm f3.5 - 5.6.

[@theaurumtheory]

The a6000 was my first camera going into photography. Beastly when paired with a decent fast prime.

[@sirdk1234]

What prime would you recommend for portraits? I currently am using a sigma 30mm

[@theaurumtheory]

​@@sirdk1234 I would recommend 50mm for portraits. I would also recommend getting a fast one too, since it's aps-c and it will struggle more in low light. For portraits, the background blur and bokeh are a big factor

[@TheRebelBagel]

@@sirdk1234 I used the combo you currently use and it was fantastic but if you want something a bit longer then you can't go wrong with the Sigma 56mm F1.4 which is an absolute gem.

[@reubenknot3038]

if you diddnt know, the 50mm is actually 75mm on an a6000, if your lens is a full frame lens

[@YashAgarwalTech]

Where did you buy this for $220

[@paulm8157]

New handle for you - “good deed” Sam! You must look very approachable. A6000 still very capable, especially in hands of skilled photographers. Still have the unit I bought shortly after it first came out - was an innovative topside mirrorless in its prime. Had issues w/battery life, noisy shutter, light leaks in lens flange (DIY replaceable), no IBIS, few Sony lenses, hot shoe issues. However, e-mount was super-adaptable to wide range of lenses; Sony Play store allowed apps to be downloaded to cam for fun functionality, body was light weight, and pop-up flash could tilt backward for flash bounce. Kit lens had major distortion issues - corrected in camera and in post.

[@nexusmediaworld]

Sony A6000 series are incredible. You can choose a lot of budget cameras maybe you can use vintage lenses etc.

[@Pineapplle__.__CoOking]

Great video... Thanks for sharing... I just bought a second hand a6000, well I wanted to get one since a long time and I am so glad I picked this one as my first camera... This is the first time I've watched your videos and bless the youtube algo for suggesting this video. Definitely subscribing!

[@bobamarmstrong]

Excellent video. The A6000 is the best bang for buck if you want to get into mirrorless. The only downside is the battery life. Too bad the A6600 solved the problem but it is so much expensive

[@ivancarvallo2837]

What’s the battery life 1 hour ? Or 2?

[@frans1225]

​@@ivancarvallo2837 I never use it for heavy use, but it should last about 3/4 hours and it depends if you are taking a video/picture

[@andrisstanga5938]

I bought the 6400 which is brilliant. This whole APS-C range is just great and a great range of prices - and even more economical if used. The only thing I wish for is IBIS as I'm getting older. I use the Sigma 18-50 f2.8 most of the time because it is just an absolutely outstanding lens, but the kit lens does have the advantage of OSS. A lot of your shots used the hard contrasty lighting which I think is a good way to hide the softness of the kit lens. It's a bit of a Marmite lens (or I suppose that's Vegemite in Sydney?) and you either love it or hate it. I started off hating it. But used in the right way with the right kind of subjects it is more than OK.

Yea it will work welll. The a6000 af is good enough for street shooting like this. The rest is up to the user knowledge of how to shoot and how to edit. 1 dont need top of the line products to do these street stuff. Cracks me up everytime when people still think after getting expensive gear they can get good/great photo out of the box. No you cant. You need to know how the settings works and composition and lastly know how to edit.

The "magic" is e-mount. Mount any Sigma lens on the A6000 and you'll have an amazing combination. Even on my ooooooooold Nex-5 (the "mother" of all Alphas) they produce amazing pictures. I LOVE that system! These cameras are all awsome, from the first model on. In my case i use the Tamron 17-70 f2.8 as standard, the for extreme light situations the Sigma 30mm f1.4 on both of them (Nex-C3 which substituted the Nex-5 and A6000) and the SEL 18-200mm from Sony (i know in the meantime there are better alternatives, it will be substituted next) for far away objects. So it's an old and "cheap" system that i use, BUT it still works perfectly and i love it.
