Sony Alpha a6000
📖 Overview
The a6000 is a compact, lightweight APS-C mirrorless camera that introduced a generation of photographers to the Sony system with its fast 179-point phase-detection autofocus and 11fps burst shooting. Best suited for beginners and travel photographers on a budget, it still delivers solid image quality despite its 2014 vintage — though its lack of 4K video and weather sealing means serious shooters will eventually outgrow it.
