We were able to shoot at 10.1fps for up to 48 shots (JPEG) and 20 shots (Raw) without the camera slowing down, whether shooting with continuous AF active, or shooting with AF set to single focus.
We take a number of shots and then use the average to ensure accurate and consistent tests, making it easy to compare with other cameras. Speed - We took a number of shots to test the camera's responsiveness, from switch on to first photo, shot to shot, focusing speed etc. We would recommend a spare battery if you plan on shooting more. You can also customise these so that you have direct access to your own favourite settings.īattery life - Battery life is rated at 310 shots (using the Viewfinder) or 360 shots (using the LCD monitor) according to Sony / CIPA test results, which is reasonable for a mirrorless camera. Pressing the Fn (Function) button on the back of the camera brings up a quick control panel where you can set the most commonly used options. The menus are clearly laid out into several sections, including: Camera settings, Custom Settings, Wi-Fi, Applications, Playback and Setup. The screen has a 16:9 aspect ratio, so when shooting in the default 3:2 aspect ratio there are black borders on the left and right of the image. The screen is clear and easy to see, even when shooting outdoors, and being able to tilt the screen helps here. The electronic viewfinder looks good in use, and appears to refresh quite quickly - Sony say they have worked on the electronic viewfinder to make it more enjoyable to use, and it has additional brightness controls over previous models. There are 2 dedicated custom buttons on the camera, that can be customised to a setting of your choice, but it is also possible to customise a further 5 buttons, as well as the control panel on the back of the shooting screen. The camera has a large rubber grip at the front, as well as a good sized rubber grip on the rear for your thumb. The camera has a bottom memory card and battery compartment, and build quality appears to be very good, with the camera feeling well built. This should make it easier to switch between different Sony cameras without having to re-learn the menus. The square design of the camera more closely resembles the Sony Alpha 7 and 7R, and Sony say that the user interface has been standardised between all new models of camera, including Sony Cyber-shot compact cameras. The Sony Alpha A6000 is slightly larger than the NEX-6 it replaces, with a redesigned mode dial and command dial, the camera is still able to squeeze in the electronic viewfinder (EVF), a pop-up flash and hot-shoe on the top plate.
Wi-Fi and NFC is built in, along with support for Sony PlayMemories Apps, which include a number of new apps including a Star Trail app, and a Lens Compensation app.Ī number of accessories have been introduced to match the camera including the LCS-EBC body case, the LCS-ASB1 active sling bag, the LCS-BBXL soft carry case, for long lenses.ģinch 921k dot tilting white-magic screenġ79 phase-detection / 25 contrast-detection AF pointsġ1fps continuous shooting with AF tracking The Sony A6000 is available for £549 body-only.Ī new 24.3 megapixel APS-C CMOS Sensor features in the Sony Alpha A6000 (ILCE-6000), which has a gapless microlens design for improved light capture at both the centre as well as at the edges of the sensor.
