Sony Alpha a6000 Mirrorless Digital Camera Body (Silver)

The Sony Alpha a6000 Mirrorless Digital Camera Body (Silver) is a compact, lightweight APS-C mirrorless camera roughly half the size of a typical DSLR, while incorporating the same size APS-C sensor found in most DSLRs. It’s built for photographers who want fast, versatile performance in a genuinely portable body, with full access to Sony’s E-mount lens ecosystem.

At the core of the a6000 is a 24.3MP APS-C Exmor APS HD CMOS sensor paired with Sony’s BIONZ X image processor, using the same gapless on-chip lens structure found in Sony’s a7R for strong image quality and sensitivity in low light, with an ISO range of 100-25600 (expandable to 51200). Autofocus is handled by Sony’s Fast Hybrid AF system, combining 179 phase-detection points with contrast-detection points for reliable subject tracking across most of the frame. Continuous shooting reaches up to 11fps with full AF/AE tracking, giving the a6000 strong speed for its class.

Handling centers on a Tru-Finder 0.39″ OLED electronic viewfinder (1,440k dots, 100% coverage, 0.7x magnification) along with a 3.0-inch, 921k-dot tilting LCD that tilts up to 90 degrees upward and about 45 degrees downward for flexible composing angles. Video capability includes Full HD 1080p recording in the XAVC S format at up to 60fps, with audio captured via a built-in stereo microphone. Built-in Wi-Fi with NFC support allows for wireless remote camera control and quick image sharing to a linked smartphone or tablet. Shutter speed ranges from 30 seconds to 1/4000 second, with a built-in pop-up flash (flash range approximately 6m at ISO 100) and a Multi Interface (MI) shoe for external flash and accessories.

Build quality reflects the a6000’s compact, lightweight positioning, with a composite-material body measuring approximately 120 x 67 x 45mm and weighing about 285g (body only) or 344g with battery and memory card inserted; the body does not include weather sealing. Notably, the a6000 does not include in-body image stabilization, relying on optically stabilized lenses for shake correction. The a6000 uses Sony’s E-mount lens system, giving photographers access to Sony’s full range of native APS-C and full-frame E-mount lenses.
