Thank you! I was given one for Christmas and upon trying to take a photo of an owl was greeted with a blurry mess. I'm going to return this camera to get one that can actually make a coherent image.
The a6000 looks like a great option, with some things you should keep in mind: 1. It's a photo-first camera with limited video features, so a great option for primarily photo use. Video from a phone may end up being better quality. 2. The new price on Amazon is rather high at the moment - best to buy somewhere else, maybe used 3. Lenses for Sony E mount include designs for full-frame and APS-C. Both will be compatible but the full-frame ones will be more expensive (and perhaps higher quality as well)
I bought one of these cameras for vlogging and the video at first seemed fine in the camera itself, but then when I tried to use the SD card it froze up every few seconds. When I contacted the seller they said someone else had made a similar claim. Unfortunately, based on what I saw in the camera itself I went ahead and bought two more of the cameras. I didn't notice the problem until I had used the SD cards from all three cameras--same problem for each one, and each one had a different brand of SD card.
Curious, I haven't observed issues like that with mine, but on a product like this, I also expect quality control to not be very thorough. To clarify, is it an issue with the video files after you copy them from the SD card directly to a computer?
That's an interesting failure. My guess is it's a combination of a poor connection with the SD card in the camera plus poor failure handling in the firmware for such unreliability.
It would certainly be cathartic to destroy it. 😂 Though I think it would be even cheaper to get a used, broken/for parts camera and use that as the prop.
Thank you for saving me from this product. I wanted a beginner camera that doesn’t break the bank. I wanted a camera for travel photos. What do you recommend?
@@StephensThoughts Finding one might be harder, atleast in Norway. Destroying cameras doesn't seem to be a thing here. But seen a overpriced dirty scratched up camera marked as mint. 😁The cheapest cameras I see are old pocket cameras.
@@mr.miggle9183 what's your budget? What are you requirements. If small camera, look up pocket camera. If you way high resolution and great low light performance go for full frame. Sony A7iv is the most popular choice. If you need 4k 60fps video that's the camera to get. Don't go for a6700 if you want a small camera, it's Aps-C but it's as thich and tall as a7iv apart from the view finder. I got my a7iv used for about the same price as the 6700 costs. And it doesn't have a joystick. But great camera otherwise. But if you want a small Aps-C camera, the older 6000 series cameras ar more suitable, they are smaller. If you want Sony pocket camera RX100 VII is nice, it's tiny, great images, but can't swap lenses. It surely a pocket camera, it has a zoom lens, but it's really compact. But there are ither brands too. But not as easy to find used on the Norwegian market. A6000 is Aps-C quite small and thin not as small as rx series. If you want cheap, old Samsung pocket cameras might be the thing, tiny but can swap between several lenses. I know Panasonic has some small but bigger cameras in Lumix series. Similar to Sony a6000 series, not just how it compares, but maybe it's between, but can fit some pockets of its a pocket.
@@mr.miggle9183 There's no such thing as a beginner camera. There's cameras for different needs, different sizes, different formats. Avoid DSLR cameras, they have a mirror inside making them thicker, and you see the real world through the view finder, not what the camera capture, you won't see wha typu see on the screen, so can't see you changing focus point, or see the stuff shown on the screen. It's harder to use a DSLR. Some confuse DSLR with a professional camera or a proper camera, but the truth is it's outdated tech. DSLR cameras are no longer made by any of the known brands. But that doesn't mean a DSLR won't take great pictures. But hwh make it harder than it needs to be? Basically the view finder is useless for color temperature, shutter speed. You need to use the screen for that, the view finder can only be used to compose the shot. Also lens mounts can be different to newer cameras. But you might find some cheap DSLR cameras and lenses and it will be much better than a smartphone. But cheapest ones will be low budget cameras, which won't have as good video performance won't do more than 1080p 30fps in 30 mins or less. You might find DSLR cameras this cost a fortune for cheap too, those will be better of course. Many types, like pocket cameras, which. have bigger sensor than a smart phone, but old ones have tiny sensor, Apsc or micro four thirds, sensor is much bigger than a smartphone sensor, but mich smaller than full frame, full frame, and expensive high resolution full frame cameras, and then there is that but with even faster fps better tech and insane prices. Like Sony A9ii. Then there are cameras with built in lens, even full frame, don't go for that. Cus if you want a longer focal length or a macro lens later you need a different camera. So pointless to buy it.

Good call. I'd be curious what you end up choosing instead and how it works out for you.
@@StephensThoughts I'm thinking of the Sony A6000 due to the small budget I have to work with.

For me this camera is enough for filming music videos and do pictures
What phone do you have? What have you noticed about the image quality between your phone and this camera?
thanks bhai u saved my money 😌😌

The only use for this I can see is as prop. Like in a home mad movie where one might destroy it.😁
