Sony Alpha a6000 Mirrorless Interchangeable-lens Camera w/ 16-50mm lens - White

This compares favourably to any APS-C camera on the market, but it does so in a lot less space. It is a fully fledged camera in a body that makes it look more like a slightly overgrown compact camera. The genuinely useful extras, such as the NFC "tap-to-connect" via WiFi for remote control, have been noticed by the "old guard" manufacturers and they are playing catchup. But they couldn't hope to lose enough weight and size to ever compete with this little beauty... Use a serious camera all day, and don't wake up with a sore back the next day, is what I tell people ;-)

Around four months ago I decided to seek out a camera to take high quality photos for work and leisure and after having considering a lot of options, I found what I was looking for in the a6000. It has been a fantastic introduction to the world of interchangeable lens cameras, holding it for the first time it felt solid and ergonomic and the software was solid and easy to navigate. My only real issue at this initial stage was being a complete amateur and there not being much supporting documentation for building up a base understanding of what exactly all the numbers meant (ISO 400, F/2.8, etc. sounded incomprehensible at first) and how manipulating them would affect my shots. So I ashamedly admit there was a lot of Auto mode use to begin with, which still provided some exceptionally nice photos. Four months down the track and I am much more adept with it; I pair it directly with my Xperia Z1 as a remote and for image sharing and I have downloaded a number of apps, including the always impressive Motion Shot. Changing lenses is simple and hassle-free and the photos I am achieving get some great comments. I would like to see a little more initial support with usage instructions, but all-round this camera feels, looks and shoots fantastically. Happy snapping!
