Why I Switched to the Sony A6000

I cannot recommend the Sony A6000 any more highly. If you are looking for an excellent performing camera that will take amazing photos and professional looking video, look no further than the Sony A6000.

Omg!!! Was researching knowing nothing and you demystified the subject for my Christmas purchase for my son. Unbelievably accuracy and spot on to the point. Thank you very much. You saved me hundreds of dollars.

[@timothymadrid7462]

Regarding battery life, the first thing you should do (before even playing with any of camera settings) is to go into the wifi section under menu, and turn on airplane mode. You can turn it on if you're syncing with a smartphone or the PlayMemories app, but with airplane mode, you will be able to save a lot more battery life-especially when the camera is off.

[@carloss6383]

I’m in the car scene so I absolutely love taking pictures and I’ve been wanting a camera for the longest not but never knew what to get I watched this video when you posted it and now I just purchased my own A6000, thank you!

[@arevir68rivera]

I switched from a Nikon D7000 to the Sony a6000, and haven't looked back since! By the way; selecting 'Monitor' (disabling viewfinder) in the settings menu on the a6000 prevents battery drain. Also, when not in use, turn off Wi-fi.

[@ValladaoMateus]

What about the overheating?

[@NiqHowie]

Ive been shooting the past week in 100 + degree weather without issue...

[@ValladaoMateus]

NiqHowie That's good to hear. I hope it doesn't.

[@NiqHowie]

+CallmeMat I hear the a6300 overheats with continued use of 4K video shooting. The a6000 stock 16-50mm lens is pretty good but I had TWO brand new cameras with faulty lenses. One right after the other. But the one I have now is great. I also have the 55-210mm lens and a couple of canon FD lenses, a Pentax 50mm f2.0, and a canon EF 50mm 1.8 II

[@therobinjohn]

if you are shooting for longer than an hour or so continuously you will experience some over heating. I have friends with a7's and they over heat. Its a common issue unfortunately

[@wasislos]

[@fomh]

Well, I'm convinced. I'm in the market for a quality mirrorless camera primarily for the purpose of shooting video. I love the idea of using old manual lenses with new cameras. When i saw your results I was convinced. Thank you sir

[@freddiedadumb]

FOMH you should check out the panasonic gh4, it is much more video oriented! It also supports 4k and adapting to older or other mounts is a breeze

[@fomh]

Thanks freddie, i'll check it out.

[@RanggaDjati]

but GH4 is way more expensive

[@freddiedadumb]

Rangga Djati yup, but for his purposes I think it would be a perfect choice, pay more but get much more. I for one could not work daily with the a6000. The difference between the two is astounding.

[@RanggaDjati]

What about a6500? It got 4K and still cheaper than GH4?

[@GloccTvGaming]

I just purchased a a6000 , been shooting in a canon T7 ! I must say this is the beat video I’ve seen covering the a6000! Thank you!😁

[@suchhun]

Detailed info ! Love it 🖤

[@Ric9hardify]

I have the a6000. I have used the heck out of it. But when I need my wow factor, I go to my Canon. From an artistic perspective, Canon is actually my go to. For the type of photography I do, I found that the a6000 and the a6400 just doesn't cut it. I don't switch, I just use both systems for their strengths. Also the compactnesss and ability of the alphas have aloud me to get a shot I could never take with my cannon, although the RP could probably do it. So, it's not about what is better, because the Sony's have been so frustrating at what would be a breeze with a Canon. But some shots would be almost impossible to take without the Sony. That's why you go to school for art to learn the subtle differences of your tools and medium, inorder to create a certain vision. True artists never say I switched from oils to acrylics, they use both to their advantage depending on what they are creating.

[@ashevilletrainman6989]

IMPORTANT: for those looking to get into filming or KZbin, and wanting a better camera (like me), and trying to decide from a 200 dollar handycam, or an expensive camera like the Sony a6000, GO WITH THE A6000! Why? Let's see. If you are really serious about filming and thinking about doing it for a really long time, if you buy a cheap ish camera after a while you will long for better quality. Instead of buying the 200 dollar one, save up for a little while, get the more expensive camera, get a good mic, and save yourself from wasting a camera.

[@bobjohnson6131]

is it still worth getting in 2018? or are there better options? I'm looking at the rx100 v for just its pocketability so i'm torn between that and the a6000..

I was excited, just as you were, for this update, and loved your video (one of the best) on the new camera.

Excellent review. I bought the a6000 last year, here in the UK at a good price due to a Sony summer special offer. I have been using a Canon 40D for years, and found it to be a very reliable camera. A brief experience with the Canon 7D Mk II was enjoyable due to its quality and results, but I just found it was far too heavy for travel photography. Sadly it had to go, and I bought the a6000 which has been brilliant. I agree with all your comments, battery life is much less than my 40D, but I also bought a charger and a couple of batteries on Amazon. As you remarked, the E-fit lenses are stupid prices, so I'd be interested in an adaptor to make use of any of the lenses I all ready have. I have a Pentax ME Super from years ago, with a 1.4 lens, so maybe I'll follow your lead and try it!

[@ChocoTaco369]

Very helpful video. Thank you. It is helping me solidify my decision. The kit lens gets some poor reviews, but the adage, "A carpenter never blames his tools" comes to mind. I can't justify spending $600-1000 on a lens for a $400 camera body, but knowing there are so many inexpensive options out there due to its adaptability is a huge bonus.

[@astigmatik]

overheating issues during video?

[@ArthurR]

Sometimes. If i am recording 15-20 minutes straight.

[@astigmatik]

TechnologyMafia i keep hearing about the overheating issue and it worries me.. does it overheat if i shoot videos for like 1 or 5 mins max and stop? like in a wedding

[@ArthurR]

No, if you stop video and record later, there arent issues.

[@withoutpassid]

On Thanksgiving 2016, I was able to record 29 minutes 50 seconds (maximum limit for the camera) without overheating issue. One trick to overcome overheating, in case you encounter, is to change the battery.

There are in deed overheating problems with the Sony A serie. I had to wait a few minutes during an important interview for my Sony to refresh. This can be a major problem if you shoot long sequences. There are of course all sort of workaround like opening the battery door, poping out the flah and detaching the lid... but I mean... come on SONY!!...

[@demmofini20]

So you are comparing an old 60d to a sony a6000 which was released two years ago?

[@dvrapant]

oh, does canon have a mirrorless option or a mini dslr of some type that out performs the sony today?

[@OurFantasyLife]

Canon's mirrorless option is an also-ran.

[@rafitohumamofficial]

Because it's his change. That's obvious. If he was on a 5D then switched to a A7 then the comparison will be a 5D vs A7. What's wrong?

[@RennieAsh]

[@radzillo]

Thanks for the excellent comparison on each camera. I am sold on getting a Sony A6000. Although might wait till after the new year and see when the new model comes out and see if they do a price drop on the 6000 or 6300 or 6500. Then pick the best package!

Actually, since this video came out, I believe theres even more options for lenses and I know the prices of accessories and components on Amazon have come down in price the last few years.

[@svtcontour]

you do realize you can adapt vintage lenses to the Canon as well right?

[@NuntiusLegis]

But it seems hard to get them focussed. Canon SLRs have no EVF, not even focus peaking on the display out of the box, you must install 3rd party firmware for that which risks your warranty. The affordable Canon SLRs also don't seem to have a split image screen in the OVF, and for some reason installing one is not always easy and is reported to cause problems with autofocus. This kind of expected headache made me buy a used Sony A 3000, which is mirrorless but has the look and feel and good grip of a small SLR for 160 Euros with focus peaking just there.

[@svtcontour]

Its no different on a Canon than doing manual focus with a native canon lens. One can also just enable live view and do the focus that way if the viewfinder is not to be used.

[@NuntiusLegis]

Canon cameras don't have focus peaking which is vital for manual focussing, unless you install the 3rd party software "Magic Lantern" which risks your warranty. Even if you risk that, you only have focus peaking on the display and not in the viewfinder, which also lacks focussing aids like split image, unless you fiddle with a special viewfinder screen, which can become expensive and complicated. I wanted a camera that allows to use the viewfinder with vintage lenses out of the box, so I decided to buy a Sony camera.

Again, this has nothing why you decided to go with a sony camera. My statement is that Vintage lenses can be adapted to Canon - and its function is no different in manual mode than any other canon lens.

[@NuntiusLegis]

It seems you don't read my comments. My statement is that vintage lenses can indeed be adapted to Canon as well (although with problems and rather expensive adapters in some cases because the Canon EOS flange focal distance is longer than that of Sony E-Mount) - but it is harder to focus them manually due to the lack of focussing aids compared to Sony cameras, as pointed out in detail. I researched into it because I wanted to use my vintage lenses (mounts: Exakta and M42) and found Canon would have been too much of a headache.

Helping review! Thanks a lot.

[@samur5256]

is it still worth to buy sony a6000 or 6300 in 2019???

[@ningggg6974]

Waiting for the answer....

[@katykwade]

Same

[@firealarmapprentice4517]

Yes, I sold my 6000 and I wish I kept it. But it has no mic jack and it doesn't focus well with canon lenses.

[@andrebauer777]

sam ur 6400 is best. 6500 makes no sense. 6000 is still good and much cheaper.

[@lina6641]

Thanks for the video BUT I don’t appreciate how you’re generalizing CANON and SONY instead of saying “Canon 60D” bc for example, you’ve mentioned how you like the WiFi being on your Sony A6000, well the Canon 6D has the same capability and the WiFi is super duper easy and it can also work as a remote control with the Canon app on your smart phone. Anyway, just wanted to ask you for future videos to please specify your camera so you’re not misleading people who know nothing about cameras, whether it’s Nikon, Sony, Canon, etc... you just shouldn’t be generalizing the brand and instead mention the exact model you’re comparing to. Other than that, great video! 👍
