I have had this camera for about 6 years and its just tucked away in my closet .. you have motivated me to bring it out again

[@fixedit8689]

I bought one, put on shelf to pull out later. Got sent on a installation job over seas for a month and a half. Cat had kittens, nephew graduation. Just lots and lots of stuff happening. Two years later I think I remembered it. By this time I acquired an A7ll and that became the camera of the moment and the A6000 still sat there. Time to pull it back out for a lighter camera to lug around

[@Popeye54321]

Stop making these videos man, the market price for used ones are increasing because of these videos 😂 , more people are getting into the buying market and thereby the sellers are increasing the price tag. This is affecting people like us by paying more to aquire one lol 😂. Jokes apart another great video , cheers 👍

[@m4verick6666]

i bought the a6000 (body) used on ebay for 300 bucks, first added the 50 1.8 full frame lens because its unbelievably cheap. lately i upgraded to the tamron 17-70 2.8. this setup is a total beast. perfect for landscape, portrait, productphotography... you name it... it does all of it reeeeally good. on top of that its so lightweight - i can put it on my manfrotto mvg300xm (up to 3.4kg) without any problems and with a flat creative picture profil colour grading is really good for such an old camera (and only 8 bit). can HIIIIIGHLY recommend to beginners! especially with the tamron 17-70!

How long does the battery last you? Downside for me is when he said it eats up the battery fast.

[@TruthSeaker]

Great vid! I love my a6000, have had it for ~7 years now. My go-to lens is the Sony 18-135, great balance of zoom and aperture for everyday shooting. Takes really great photos. I hate being on vacation and having to change lenses all the time, so this one stays on my camera most of the time and is a great all-around lens. I also have the Sony 35mm f1.8, which produces amazing photos and video - but I only use it for specific situations.

[@matthewj9832]

[@user-lo7st2ly8e]

This guy talks as if this camera is from the mid 90's. Now it's not cutting edge anymore as it is about 10 years old but I got it brand new in 2015 and it still blows competition out of the water. The body alone was $400 back then, meaning that this has stuck true to its value. Mirrorless cameras have gotten better at battery life but with a little bit of management, this camera can last all day. I still have my original battery. Just change up some necessary settings, turn it off when you're not shooting and you're all good. I will say that shooting in jpeg, the colors are bland af right out of the camera but they have a LOT of information which means that they easily improve with some basic editing. But the raw files are amazing.

[@NavyCoyner]

kay, I’ve always scratched my head about the obsession around the kislux book totes and their practicality, but this one is adorable!! Congratulations

[@rhalfik]

Full HD on this thing is about as sharp as 720p on other cameras. The newer models have 4k that looks waaaay better thanks to downsampling as opposed to selective reading.

[@liams22u59]

I spent $800 on it new like 5 years ago or something. I only used it a couple of times. Maybe I'll dig it out of storage and give it a real try...

[@theboycheef841]

I got one last year it's my first camera as a beginner and its great. Got 2 lenses for it real cheap ones and it's been fun. Good luck 👍

[@chancetalkscameras]

Love the a6k, still have and use mine fairly often. Only issue (after it being TEN YEARS OLD) is that the shutter button sometimes "sticks". You either have to restart the camera or, I'm not joking: blow on it a bunch. Apparently it's a pretty easy fix, but I haven't torn apart the camera yet to try.

[@kalleankaa7536]

Just bought one for $400 locally but it’s missing all of its stuff like it’s kit lens and charge cords, BUT it came with a great lens. The Sigma 30mm f1.4. Now… I need to buy batts and start shooting!

[@adokapo]

I think that all sony cameras on old menu shoot just 12 bit in most modes. There is a way to get 14 bit in a6000 as well for single frames (just like every other sony with old menus). I think because of buffer and processor but it is good trade of (and not very noticable loss)

[@melissah4073]

Had an A55 and the shutter finally died. Just picked up a used A6000. Has anyone used the A mount to E mount lens adapter on the A6000? Hoping to salvage the old lenses!

[@therealucas]

I think that's a great deal. I use the a6000 as my primary camera and it gets the job done. 800 bucks for that entire package is a great deal!

[@nicedward7544]

Either way you're good but I'd go 6500. The 2 zoom lenses you listed are pretty mehh. Get a 6500 used, a cheap used Samyang 24 prime, and a 50-70ish prime. IBIS is pretty clutch for photos on apsc

[@PauonYT]

Just bought mine, I do have mount kit convert for canon lenses though. What should I buy next?

[@Yuri-vk9wn]

The thing these newer reviews on A6K don’t talk about that the older ones vs A6300 did is that the 1080 out of this camera is stellar, especially when compared to the new ones.

[@TechThroughTheLens]

I kinda forgot about the a6300 because most people should just jump to the a6400

[@Infinity0205]

The most importat thing is to get rid of that Kit-Lens the Camera comes with as soon as possible. Spending a bit of money on at least one decent Lense makes such a difference. For the a6000 just getting a new Lens was like getting a whole new Camera.

[@quimolbenjamin1691]

How does it compare to the canon r50 or r10

[@TechThroughTheLens]

oh world apart. One is a vintage camera and one is a cutting edge modern camera. It really depends on what you want to shoot with it

[@kalleankaa7536]

Nice. The a6000 can be had for 250 to 300. A6500 is 400 to 500 used. The a6400 iv seen for around same price. And a new a6600 cost now around 1200 usd. Im waiting for the a6600 used around 600 700 usee to replace one of my a6300.

He has the Sony 35mm 1.8 on his a6000 in the video and it’s a fantastic lens. Almost the same sharpness with the sigma and much smaller. Also much less distortion vs the 30mm sigma.

Everyone contemplating the 6000 vs the newer models just know that they all have the exact same sensor besides the brand new a6700. You won't get better image quality if you know what you are doing. Af and processors are improved and a few have ibis but they are all the same sensor.

The 6100/6400 actually have a slightly new sensor with much better colors straight out of camera.

[@MimJim6784]

Hey, my friend. Thanks for the video. I would like to ask you to help me out! I'm a beginner, and I've always dreamed of having a camera since my childhood. Now I decided to buy one. I stuck between A6000 and A6400 (both used). With my budget right now, I can afford an A6000 + Sigma 30mm 1.4 (maybe if I am lucky, a kit lens) or an A6400 + kit lens (both are used). I searched the whole of KZbin, and I know how fantastic and necessary it is to have a prime lens like what I mentioned. As the prime lens I mentioned is so expensive in my country, I decided to buy the first setup, but I noticed the colors and low-light performance of the A6400 are much better, and I am worried that I will regret buying the A6000. Sometimes I think I'm a beginner, and the A6000 is enough for me. Can you help me? I usually to take pictures in the nature or streets or parks. I was looking for a small and light weight camera for that and I think both are ok in these aspects. I do not know when I can buy a prime lens or even if I will like this area or not! Sometimes I get good photos with my phone. Thank you.
