[@suryaprabhakar]

Thank you for the amazing tutorial. I was wondering what do you think about the SONY sel18-200 OSS lens. Is it worth it? I worried about the sharpness on the edges at 200mm. Please comment

[@pksvps]

What lens should I use on my Sony a6000 for daily shooting purposes and for shooting wild life? I have 16-50 kit lens, 55-210 zoom lens, 18-105 G-lens and 30mm macro. Or should I buy any other lens? please recommend.

[@nancynuccio1812]

Better than the manuals.

[@limepointin]

I only came here to find out where the controls for the f stops were hidden but I found the whole video very helpful. At 32:50 I actually screamed, I've had this camera for a couple of years now and had no idea it had a built in flash LOL!

[@comelefort2698]

😆

[@oceanphobia]

wow, this was so helpful. I am a total novice to photography and my Sony a6000 is the first real camera I've ever owned. I was so sad when first playing with it because I couldn't get most of the pictures in focus. 20 minutes into your video and you go over focus settings and I realize it's on af-a as default. I start playing with focus as you go over in the video and BOOM, pictures are all in focus! Woah, just made me not return my camera because I was so hopeless of ever learning this. I can't wait to buy your book! I have to wait until after Christmas but then I'm getting it and going through it chapter by chapter. You really did make this so easy and broke it down for is amateurs - thank you!

[@libertyghost3053]

May 2023 - I bought this camera recently from my local camera shop and had no idea how to use it. This tutorial is awesome. Thank you!

[@gregorypdearth]

So far I love my "new" Sony a6000. I wanted to upgrade from mere smart phone use and this is a great step up without breaking the bank. I have watched a lot of vids on setting things up and this is a rare one where the pro says a lot of the defaults are just fine. Almost exclusively, tutorials portray defaults as terrible if not blasphemy. It made me wonder why camera manufacturers would set the defaults as terrible and unusable? At least this guy honestly states a lot of the defaults are fine and time savers. That said, I am learning the deep theory so I better understand when to NOT rely on defaults. I started in the nineties on 35mm SLRs and know what it is like to tweak the primary three for every shot (it sucks). At least on these newer cameras there are semi auto modes where I can just rely on the camera to automatically adjust one or two sides of the triangle instead of it all being on my shoulders. . So far I haven't seen a huge improvement using the Sony a6000 in full auto mode compared to my Motorola smart phone. But that is largely because I have not tweaked a lot of the settings. Courses like this one help a LOT. Of course the 48 MP sensor in MY Motorola smart phone is ridiculously good too, even proving useful for astrophotography. But the depth of field is almost completely fixed on my smart phone (not low enough) and the higher iso settings are VERY noisy. Plus mounting any cell phone to a telescope barely works. I forgot how much of a difference F flexibility makes in giving a professional appearance to my images. And even an APSC sensor will handle higher iso settings vastly better than the microscopic sensor of even a great smartphone. So I have zero regrets here. With the a6000 I won't merely be taking pics. It will enable a more artistic approach. The focus and compose technique is a key advantage of real cameras.

[@rubaiyat008]

Thank you Tony Northrup! When I first purchased my a6000, I played around with it for half an hour and after that didn't touch it for two days. I was so intimidated by all the features and functions. And the fact that it was my first digital camera only exacerbated the whole situation. Then I found your video on youtube..........

[@ryanstephen7806]

Great overview Tony! May I dare say yours is way more useful and practical (real hands on demo) than some of the paid videos out there for this camera! Really appreciate the fact you're giving this tutorial for free. I'm inclined to buy your book after this video. It's that good!

[@TonyAndChelsea]

Ryan Stephen Thanks, Ryan. Just curious, which paid video did you buy?

[@ryanstephen7806]

Tony Northrup Well, I subscribed to Gary Fong's a6000 paid tutorial. It's here: garyfong.com BTW, I've got your ebook!

[@Ariztid]

Ryan Stephen Same here. I wish I would have found this two days ago. Gary's is good, but really doesn't have anything that Tony doesn't cover.

[@sjsphotog]

Gary fong causes more confusion than he teaches. Very bad teaching style. He IS more of a salesman trying to sell you stuff. Not Tony.

[@karl.weaver]

The era of warm recordings, this was when Tony sounded like a man! Another great review, you are always clear and informative.

[@janorajmond]

A neat trick you can use with that built-in flash is that you can actually hold it back with one finger so it's pointing upwards, so you can bounce it off the ceiling. Albeit, this is a last resort and you need a fairly low ceiling, but it does work great.

[@patseidler5636]

A friend of mine loaned me his SONY a6000 because he could not figure it out, neither could I until I stumbled across this posting. You, my friend, are making me look good. Undecided if I want to share this with my friend. In any case, well done on many levels...you're a great teacher

[@kenlauderdale954]

Very helpful for the beginner. Thank you for your thoughtful, informative and thorough explanations. Hands down the best video for learning the basics of the A6000.

[@look4keith]

I cannot thank you enough for making this video. I bought this camera at a pawn shop for a third of its value, and it had horrific performance. At first, I thought the camera was just broken, but figured if I fiddled with the settings, I could improve it a little. Your video fixed ALL of the problems for me!!! You frickin' rule.

[@TonyAndChelsea]

Glad to help!

[@diannitas]

I have watched this video 3 times, and every time I learn different things. Thanks so much!

[@TonyAndChelsea]

You're welcome!

[@MAKTHETINMAN]

Thank you for finally realizing that this has been one of the most picked up and bought cameras of 2014-15 and finally doing a video on it. 👌

[@abdullahshafique8473]

one stop solution for any new a6000 owner. great work... please post more videos where you explain which settings to chose and why considering what your shooting

[@ThomsBP]

Can't believe this is free to watch. Its amazing! One of the best tutorials BY FAR. Great job people.

[@ObelixCMM]

Nice video Tony! As a A6000 user I would highly recommend Sigma prime lenses 19mm f2.8, 30mm f2.8 and 60m f2.8. they are under $200.00 each. For ultra wide angle Rokinon 12mm f2.0 and if you like fisheye look Rokinon 8mm f2.8, these are fully manual lenses but at that focal length it's easy to focus. Best external flash for A6000 is Nissin i40, small flash with enough power for most of the pictures. If you are going to use A6000 on tripod I would recommend Neewer L bracket with Arca-Swiss mount.

[@villamuez]

thanks!! does the autofocus work with Sigma Prime Lenses?

[@ObelixCMM]

Yes.

[@gitrgi]

Andres Eduardo Villamuez Definitely yes, though the Phase Detection Focus on only works on the center of the Sigma trinity (19, 30, 60). Highly recommend those lenses though!!!

[@villamuez]

Jordan Chapell thanks

[@ObelixCMM]

***** Yes

[@Jackanapes7]

I swear that I watch this again before every major convention just to help me get a feel for my camera again. Great video to teach me about the only real camera I have ever owned.

[@bluenapalm123]

Excellent video. I bought the a6000 to get started in the world of photography. This video and a few others you have done have been pivotal in the decision on which to buy. Two days ago I had no idea what an F stop was and the significance of the aperture was. Thanks for your help.

In December of 2018, this is still the best video tut. for the sony A6000. I have had my 6000 for a little under two years, and have watched TONS of vids. trying to learn about my camera. I come from the days of film and darkrooms. Digital is new to me, plus film and darkrooms was a long time ago, so I'm trying to re-learn photography in general, and it really helps to know how the camera itself works. Thanks for this video, and I'm glad I discovered this channel!

[@petethegreekre]

Tony, thank you. Just bought mine yesterday and had trouble adjusting to this menu after using a Fujifilm for years. This was a great tutorial. Now I'm not mind boggled and lost in space after watching this.

[@gemsparx]

Thank you so much for being so clear and informative on all the functions of this great camera! Yes, I am a new owner of the Sony a6000, with a lot to learn. I don't mind your plugs for your books, may even look into purchasing for even more help in learning.

Your video has made it easy for me to navigate and better understand the menus and get to what I need to get me started and motivated to continue using and learning about my camera. Thanks.

[@johncaban4310]

Tony, Really informative video. After watching it I ordered your book to learn more about Photography. Hopefully it is as easily explained in your book as you did it on this video? I love pictures but I usually use my cell phone or a average P&S camera. I am ready to step up to a camera such as the Sony A6000. The question I have for you is I am on a tight budget( Daughter in college for 6 years) and want to buy the body only and pick up a lens to fit my style. I am torn between the Sony 50mm f/1.8 mid range lens or Sony E55-210mm f4.4-6.3 lens. I love taking pictures of landscape, family gatherings, food, oceans and cars. Which lens do you think would fit all my needs as a starter for my 1st professional camera??? I would really appreciate your opinion on this matter. Thanks in advance

I'm still learning to unleash it's power but wanted to state that the information you provide is suitable for not just a beginner, but well seasoned photographer as well...

[@Shoulder2Crayon]

He clearly doesn't know how to focus with this camera or is extremely insecure and prejudiced about the mirrorless take-over. I've seen few 1Dx and D4 owners use a6000 as their B camera and they love it for sports and wildlife. a6000 has the best AF (intelligence and speed) when you compare it with other DSLRs under 1000 dollars.

[@Teleken1968]

Fantastic job, Tony! I'm a beginning photographer who just took delivery of my a6000 as my first "real" camera 5 days ago; in my opinion this video should be mandatory viewing for any new a6000 owner. I can't say it enough - you did a phenomenal job walking through the features of the camera with equally great "real world" use cases. Thanks again for doing this and making it available.

Love your videos - straight forward with great examples and close-ups. Your delivery speed is perfect. Your kindle books with color photos and videos - awesome!

Bob Horn Thanks, Bob!

[@michaelang6323]

Excellent tutorial. Clear and concise. I was struggling with the features of the a6000 until I watched your video. Thanks Tony!

[@ridefastcoaching]

I've been using an A6000 for a few months and though I was learning my way around it pretty well. Not so fast! This is a great video and I've learned a lot. Thank you. Just ordered the book too.

[@isabelladavis1363]

[@jforrest7283]

Amazing video. Thank you so much for opening my world to this camera!

[@blueberry9920]

Been looking for tutorials on how I can maximise my a6000 camera, and so glad it appeared on my recommendations, and now this is by far the most helpful and informative guide I've ever referred to! Thanks for the video! Your new subscriber here! Keep up the good work! You're helping a lot of newbie photographers just like me! 👏👏👏

Thanks Tony. I've had my a6000 for a few months now but learned loads watching this, just as I thought I had it nailed!

[@flpanhandler7749]

Just purchased this camera as a beginner. This video was great. I can’t thank you enough.

[@unastasia]

Thank you, thank you, thank you! Just bought a Sony A6000 for my husband. This video is perfect for him. I'm going to have to get your books (video versions for my husband though). If those videos are as easy to follow and understand as this one is, my husband will thoroughly enjoy and appreciate his A6000. Again, thank you.

[@TonyAndChelsea]

You're welcome. Enjoy!

Tony makes me want to become a photographer just from how easy he makes digesting this information. Thanks again Tony!

[@stephenwabaxter]

Just received my A6000 today and used the video to explore many of the capabilities and controls. I've owned the A5100 for about 4 years so already familiar with the Sony APSC format.

[@sdkjl5984]

8 years ago! No wonder you look so young! Well, the thanks are still coming in... This was a great video and helped my ADHD brain finally gain a little familiarity with my A6000. Of course I still want the A7Rv! I'm glad you were able to get through all these intervening years without the knowledge that DPReview would get shuttered (bad camera pun)(ok not bad - horrible). Thank you!

[@Advadva]

I remember A200 times when manual was handy, but A6000 manual is pretty weak. Thanks for a great job, it was really fun and useful to watch this tutorial!

[@TonyAndChelsea]

+Artyom Nikolaev Thanks, and I'm glad I could help!

[@char9645]

Tony, thank you SOOO much for this video. I just bought a Sony a6000, my first close-to-pro camera, and was looking for a quick way to get to know it's features and functions. In additiona, your professional insight added so much more depth to what this camera can do.

[@DanielSuh]

Wow you just covered the basics of digital photography and Sony a6000 review in one! I switched to Sony a6000 for mainly to replace bulky DSLR for light travel. Thanks so much!

[@VanlifewithAlan]

Outstanding Tony! Better than any user manual I have ever come across!

[@virgokush]

Finally got my Sony A6000 thanks for this video it helped a lot with some of the many settings. My last camera was the Nikon D5100. I have always been a Nikon girl. When I went into the store to buy a new camera, I picked up this Sony and was totally hooked.

[@boveandrew]

How could anyone give this a thumbs down? Awesome job - concise, focused, clear and to the point explanations.

[@joeyz989]

Just got my a6000 a few weeks ago and am loving it, this tutorial really made all the difference for me thank you so much for making it!!

[@rossandersen7154]

This tutorial is the most intelligent and informative tutorial video I have watched. I will probably purchase this camera because of the hands on demonstration. With the information contained in this video success and enjoyment almost guaranteed. Thank you

[@Jackanapes7]

32:53 might be my favorite part of this video. Somehow, despite watching multiple times, I always forget about it. Thank you for this video. It has been very helpful since I bought this camera in October, and I do like to run back through to try and retrain myself.

[@tomdyck]

An excellent video - after watching this with my camera in my hand, I feel like I have much better command over my photo taking. An hour VERY well spent.
