Sony A6000 in 2024? Is It Worth It?
Is Sony A6000 still the best beginner camera in 2024?
@CurtisPadley 4 ай бұрын
What are your thoughts on the Sony A6000 in 2024?
@Durio_zibethinus 4 ай бұрын
Especially with a new viltrox 56mm f/1.7 at $139, mirrorless feels so affordable this day. After learning the menu, Custom buttons are your best friend with this camera. A6000 is like Lumix G7, a camera for who knows what they're doing, or willing to learn about it. One is good at photo with overheat issue, the other is 4K powerhouse with dinky AFC. But if the person is a seasoned photographer, I'd say go for it and save some cash for a nice lenses or flash. I will recommend saving up a little bit for A6100 instead though, in case if it's aimed at an average beginner. A6100 is like a pre-cooked meal, easy and good enough.

I still have my a6000. It has been with me for 8 years now; I've used it for travel and work and by now have a pretty good amount of accessories and lens for the e-mount system. Every time I am tempted to upgrade, common sense kicks in: I use it for product photos and travel/street photography, and for that, it is still amazing. I have no complaints whatsoever. It is reliable, DURABLE (still looks brand new and no button or knob is faulty or loose, and the mount is just as robust as ever). I'm not even interested in selling it; that's how happy I am with my camera.

Yup. I've seen them for around 220-250. You can get the 50 1.8 for around 100 used as well. For $350 it's a killer setup. I always recommend this or the Canon 5dii depending on what they want to use it for. The a6000 has wayyy better AF though. The 5dii better IQ and low light.

I should add I traded it in with CEX who give a 2 Year!! warranty on used camera kit, as mentioned in one of your other vids anyone buying the Sony, turn flight mode on and switch off the eye sensor for the view finder, saves the battery. Great vid cheers chap 👍

Personally it's the autofocus that is just my small issue with this camera. The new ones are just so much better. Other than that, it's still really good especially with good lens. Wouldn't really notice the difference vs a newer APSC on edited photos if you posted it in something like Instagram.

I bought my A6000 way back in 2014 when it was firsg released and every rime im tempted to upgrade i watch KZfaq videos such as yours,give my head a wobble and know that i really dont need to. It suits me fine for street, wildlife and every day shooting. Ive just bought a Sony 70-350 lens to shoot some sports stuff for my husbamds touch rugby team and getting perfect results. I was very tempted by the A6300 because of the extra focussing and weatherproofing but i think i would feel lke i was cheating on my beloved A6000

@MaybeTiberius 17 күн бұрын
the lens point really hits hard but its kind of true. lets be honest, every manufacturer has enough lenses for most people, but its more important how expensive good lenses are at any given used market. Thats something drawing me more towards sony too. body wise? i think i would prever something else. but the sony used market is HUGE. so many lenses for so many different price points and no matter your budget, you can get a lens you need. while with other brands, the lenses are more expensive and the used market is way smaller too, wich means less deals to find. its kind of sad but its what it is right now. i would prefer something like a nikon, or even a fuji or lumix maybe if i look purely on the body and the specs of it. but then i go about: okay.. what lenses do i want... and where can i get them for a reasonable price, and the answer to that is always sony simply because their used market is so massive
@jhirse3547 4 ай бұрын
The trick to get a little more punch out of high ISO pictures is to set the in-camera noise reduction to low. Yes, more grain, but also more details. I'm now much more relaxed about high ISO shooting since I adjusted that setting. Beyond, for stills, the a6000 keeps shining. One can build a more-than-decent pre-owned camera kit around this body. Samyang 12mm MF for wide angle, Sony 35mm F1.8 for portraits and every day shooting, just to name two...

I am just getting into photography and I am liking the shots that my a6000 takes versus my cellphone. I dislike how I have to hold my phone because I have a essential tremor, but with the Sony I feel like I can get a better grip that reduces how much I shake. Its usually enough for the anti-shaking stuff that is built into the camera. One thing I wanted to point out that there is a cell phone app that is like a remote control/viewing for the phone. So you could take your selfies if you wanted with a hot shoe to cell phone converter which are ubiquitous and cheap. I only thought a small number of Sony cellphones could use this feature but I guess its universal for any phone. Anyway this is my first time on your channel so I am going to go through your backlog. I see some stuff I am excited for already.

I have an A6000, and I'm seriously considering the A6700. If you can possibly swing it, try to find a Sony 18-105mm F4 used as your next lens for the A6000. I manged to snag one used for $500 Canadian a couple of years ago, and really, it's so versatile, I almost never use any other lens, as it has in-lens image stabilization/steady shot for video, and quite good (though not perfect) optical quality. So you can switch from shooting stills to shooting a movie without even changing the lens. Awesome.

Lively vid, points valid. (To keep Curtis quiet, just tie his hands😊😊.) A6k was my first interchangeable mirrorless cam. It had its issues (replaced body lens flange - DIY job - and quirky hot shoe). Also had cute built-in flash w/tiltable head. One “feature” was downloadable add-on apps from Sony play store (now discontinued). Did your used model come w/any of them? In addition to e-mount lenses there are a host of adaptable vintage lenses to be used; I used old Pentax and Nikon film cam lenses. Kit lens has lots of distortion that is corrected in Lightroom - turn off lens correction tab and see. Cheers!
