What this camera is and who it suits
The Sony Alpha a6000 is a 24.3MP APS-C mirrorless camera body in white. It uses a Fast Hybrid AF system with 179 phase-detect points and shoots up to 11 frames per second with continuous focus tracking. Built-in Wi-Fi and NFC allow direct sharing from the 3.0-inch tilting LCD or the 0.39-inch OLED Tru-Finder with 100% frame coverage.
Who this suits and who should look elsewhere
This body suits photographers moving up from basic point-and-shoots who want fast autofocus, high burst rates and an electronic viewfinder in a compact form. Buyers who need 4K video recording, in-body image stabilisation or a weather-sealed magnesium chassis should consider other models that provide those features.
The specification that decides fit
The 24.3-megapixel APS-C Exmor CMOS sensor paired with the BIONZ X processor delivers ISO sensitivity up to 25600 and full HD 1080p video. If your work demands higher resolution stills, 4K capture or a larger buffer for extended bursts, this sensor specification will not meet those requirements.

Questions about this item
What lens mount does the a6000 body use so I can attach a lens?
The camera uses Sony's E-mount, so any E-mount lens will attach directly to the body.
Can I use my older A-mount lenses on this E-mount body?
Yes, with a Sony LA-EA series adapter you can mount A-mount lenses and retain autofocus and aperture control.
How can I verify the 179-point phase-detect AF is active after setup?
In the focus-area menu choose Wide or Zone; the screen will show many green focus points locking on the subject.
