the Sony Alpha 6000 uses an APS-C sensor, which means that the full frame lenses will have a 1.5x crop factor. Thus, a 50mm lens will behave like a 75mm on this device.
My mom just gave me this camera and I’m going to start getting into photography. Got into drones recently so this is the next step! Thanks for letting me know I lucked out with a great first camera.
This guy talks as if this camera is from the mid 90's. Now it's not cutting edge anymore as it is about 10 years old but I got it brand new in 2015 and it still blows competition out of the water. The body alone was $400 back then, meaning that this has stuck true to its value. Mirrorless cameras have gotten better at battery life but with a little bit of management, this camera can last all day. I still have my original battery. Just change up some necessary settings, turn it off when you're not shooting and you're all good. I will say that shooting in jpeg, the colors are bland af right out of the camera but they have a LOT of information which means that they easily improve with some basic editing. But the raw files are amazing.
Stop making these videos man, the market price for used ones are increasing because of these videos 😂 , more people are getting into the buying market and thereby the sellers are increasing the price tag. This is affecting people like us by paying more to aquire one lol 😂. Jokes apart another great video , cheers 👍
He has the Sony 35mm 1.8 on his a6000 in the video and it’s a fantastic lens. Almost the same sharpness with the sigma and much smaller. Also much less distortion vs the 30mm sigma.
@@SneakyCalebhey I have the a6000 and I have the starter lens. Does getting a new lens make the photos significantly better? I’m kinda new and just curious to how cameras really work
Full HD on this thing is about as sharp as 720p on other cameras. The newer models have 4k that looks waaaay better thanks to downsampling as opposed to selective reading.
I have done many portrait shoots with the a6000 and the Zeiss 24mm lens. I have had a good time with it for 6 years + and that lens especially set it off into a lovely, colourful place. The biggest mistake I made was trying to do manual settings. I learnt much later on automatic settings are best in every way: 'P' for normal 'S' when there's movement (sport). You can trust the automatic settings to deliver bigtime, set and forget. I thought a 'pro' always went the manual way but its unnecessary, slow, not that fun, and in my case yielded worse results than the auto settings. Its funny you refer to it as a 'lo-fi' camera. I suppose it is compared to the stuff coming out now.
Debating on this. A local seller has it Comes with: 50mm f1.8 35mm f1.8 55-210mm f4.5-6.3 16-50mm f3.5-5.6 Remote flasher For 800 not sure if should go that route or a6400 with a sigma 30mm 1.4 for the same price. Beginner getting into photography
Either way you're good but I'd go 6500. The 2 zoom lenses you listed are pretty mehh. Get a 6500 used, a cheap used Samyang 24 prime, and a 50-70ish prime. IBIS is pretty clutch for photos on apsc
I'm gonna be using this for a professional wrestling event, the only light we'll have on is the one over the ring, so it'll be pretty dark. Hope this can do the job.
Everyone contemplating the 6000 vs the newer models just know that they all have the exact same sensor besides the brand new a6700. You won't get better image quality if you know what you are doing. Af and processors are improved and a few have ibis but they are all the same sensor.
Hi, I have the a6000 and use it occasionally for astrophotography and vacations. Nothing fancy or serious. I am thinking of upgrading the camera to a camera with more definition/pixels for sharper photos. What camera would you recommend? Compatible with e-mount lenses please!
@@chloexsoliel I am thinking about buying Sony A7S or A7R OR the Sony A7S ii or A7R ii? can you tell me about your usecase and experience using them? The night photos with the a6000 not cutting it.

Great vid! I love my a6000, have had it for ~7 years now. My go-to lens is the Sony 18-135, great balance of zoom and aperture for everyday shooting. Takes really great photos.

I also have the Sony 35mm f1.8, which produces amazing photos and video - but I only use it for specific situations.
Hi, I do travel often and I am looking for an all around lens and I saw your comment using Sony 18-135. I searched and all I saw is Sony 18-135 OSS. I was wondering is this the same lens. I’m new to learning lens.
@@AMeij47 Yes, that's the lens I have. Sony 18-135mm F3.5-5.6 OSS APS-C E-Mount Zoom Lens. Sony is selling it for $648 as of October 2024, but I think you can find it for cheaper if you look.
Should I go for sony a6100, sony a6400, Sony a600 or canon R50/ m50 mark ii for photography and videography both? Kindly suggest me which should I buy!
Bought this today for 500qr (138USD) in very good condition with 16-50 kit lens. Planning to buy a spare battery and charger. Maybe later i will add sigma 30mm 1.4
Love the a6k, still have and use mine fairly often. Only issue (after it being TEN YEARS OLD) is that the shutter button sometimes "sticks". You either have to restart the camera or, I'm not joking: blow on it a bunch. Apparently it's a pretty easy fix, but I haven't torn apart the camera yet to try.
@TechThroughTheLens Thanks for the recommendation. I just bought the camera with 16-50 PZ kit lens. What can I sub the 55-200mm with E 18-200 mm F3.5-6.3 OSS APS-C Telephoto Zoom Lens with Optical SteadyShot is see them online for $350?
I think that all sony cameras on old menu shoot just 12 bit in most modes. There is a way to get 14 bit in a6000 as well for single frames (just like every other sony with old menus). I think because of buffer and processor but it is good trade of (and not very noticable loss)
those photos look amazing with that camera, I am looking for a cheap camera to test the waters with Sony E mount and this camera was on a list people recommended for sub $300. Thank you for sharing your experience with this camera.
The most importat thing is to get rid of that Kit-Lens the Camera comes with as soon as possible. Spending a bit of money on at least one decent Lense makes such a difference. For the a6000 just getting a new Lens was like getting a whole new Camera.

@@rismawanYT No problem. Just remember, a good lens will probably outlast your body, especially your first one. Unless you switch to full frame, but that's a whole different league price-wise.
Had an A55 and the shutter finally died. Just picked up a used A6000. Has anyone used the A mount to E mount lens adapter on the A6000? Hoping to salvage the old lenses!
Fujifilm honestly if you’re willing to pay a little more. But you’ll still be good to go if you decide to get the Sony instead. Depending on what you’re using it for.
For shooting a video like yours (basically, talking in front of the camera), what lenses do you recommend for the Sony a6000? Possibly extra low budget 😅 thank you!
Can you recommend a camera in the same price range that does ,,clean and polished’’ photos…I wanted to get the 6000 but I don’t really like the vintage look
Hey, my friend. Thanks for the video. I would like to ask you to help me out! I'm a beginner, and I've always dreamed of having a camera since my childhood. Now I decided to buy one. I stuck between A6000 and A6400 (both used). With my budget right now, I can afford an A6000 + Sigma 30mm 1.4 (maybe if I am lucky, a kit lens) or an A6400 + kit lens (both are used). I searched the whole of TH-cam, and I know how fantastic and necessary it is to have a prime lens like what I mentioned. As the prime lens I mentioned is so expensive in my country, I decided to buy the first setup, but I noticed the colors and low-light performance of the A6400 are much better, and I am worried that I will regret buying the A6000. Sometimes I think I'm a beginner, and the A6000 is enough for me. Can you help me? I usually to take pictures in the nature or streets or parks. I was looking for a small and light weight camera for that and I think both are ok in these aspects. I do not know when I can buy a prime lens or even if I will like this area or not! Sometimes I get good photos with my phone. Thank you.
I would go with the a6400 as you should go with the better camera and upgrade your lens later on but the better image quality and specs will be better in the long run
A really weird technique that nobody used to mention is tilt the screen 90 degree and then put the camera upside down. That way you can shoot facing down the screen 😅
Permisi bertanya, saya dulu pengguna Canon 60D dan mau pindah ke Brand lain Brand Nikon ini kecepatan auto fokus untuk foto nya bagus ya? Tergantung dari prosesor nya betul ga sih?
Need some advice camera people found a deal my buddy has he’s upgrading is a Sony a6000 with a 16-50mm lens and shutter count of 5700 good for $380? Comes with batter strap charger. Trying to get into this and don’t know if it’s a good price or not or if shutter count is high
Nice. The a6000 can be had for 250 to 300. A6500 is 400 to 500 used. The a6400 iv seen for around same price. And a new a6600 cost now around 1200 usd. Im waiting for the a6600 used around 600 700 usee to replace one of my a6300.
Great video! Like your content. I m looking to buy a cheep body and I’m having a dilemma: Olympus om d e m5 ii, pro body, ibis, touchscreen, fully articulated screen, cheeper lenses but smaller sensor, or alpha 6000 with larger sensor, but lacking in everything else? Can you help me with this dilemma? 😅
Oh man, I used to trust what you said in your reviews....... until you recommended the 55-210. That lens absolutely sucks. The 18-135 is amazing with the a6000 (or any apsc e mount lens for that matter). That's the one you should have recommended.
Hey sorry to hear you feel that way. These are just the lenses I personally have. And Why do you not like the lens? Again i am aiming this video at ultra casuals
@TechThroughTheLens I don't like the lens because it is terribly soft. Maybe a more skilled photographer can get decent photos out of it, with the help of post processing, but when I was just learning photography, I had that lens and I thought I was the problem. Then I got the 18-135 and it was so much better. So I would say the exact opposite for that lens. It is a detriment to an ultra casual photographer, as they could get frustrated with their results and maybe think that photography isn't their thing. And I am not alone in my opinion of that lens. Many reviews point out it's shortcomings. And it is dirt cheap because no one wants it. But sadly, uninformed newbies like I was see a big, shiny lens at a good price and buy it, thinking since it is a native Sony lens, it should be good. Far from it.
My cousin is looking for someone who will teach her how to use the camera for taking macro photos (for small objects). She needs to do settings. She will pay for the lessons.
Please guide me. Within two days i am gonna buy a new camera. Should i go for this sony a6000 or Canon r50 ? My preference is solo photography of mine(portrait).

Just bought one for $400 locally but it’s missing all of its stuff like it’s kit lens and charge cords, BUT it came with a great lens. The Sigma 30mm f1.4. Now… I need to buy batts and start shooting!
I wanted to buy my first camera, is this version ok for beginner? Or should i buy the 6400 version straight away
If you can afford a good lens along with the a6400, go for that instead. If not, rather invest in good glass and get the a6000.
@@fyrlefanz thank you for this
@@rismawanYT No problem. Just remember, a good lens will probably outlast your body, especially your first one. Unless you switch to full frame, but that's a whole different league price-wise.
Any cheaper options for the 35mm lens?.
Viltrox AF 56mm F/1.4
Had an A55 and the shutter finally died. Just picked up a used A6000. Has anyone used the A mount to E mount lens adapter on the A6000? Hoping to salvage the old lenses!
What should i buy? Sony a6000 or fujifilm xt100
Fujifilm honestly if you’re willing to pay a little more. But you’ll still be good to go if you decide to get the Sony instead. Depending on what you’re using it for.
What you think about the ACii for photography portraits and modeling
Great video I was going to sell mine, but I decided to keep it
Good choice!
Great short video... and a very charming model.
For shooting a video like yours (basically, talking in front of the camera), what lenses do you recommend for the Sony a6000? Possibly extra low budget 😅 thank you!
i typical use a 28mm or a 35mm. Either of those would work
@@TechThroughTheLens thank you!
what do you think about fujifilm xa7?
What lens did you use for the portraits of the girl? I love the look! Thanks for this review!
Just my cheap old 35mm FE sony lens
Can you add luts to it n what setting
Does this camera support the RAW format or just JPEG?
most sony cameras has raw after nex 5 including a6000
Can you recommend a camera in the same price range that does ,,clean and polished’’ photos…I wanted to get the 6000 but I don’t really like the vintage look
Canon eos 80d used maybe?
Should i buy a6000 with 16 50 lens having shutter count 15000 at $350
Decent deal do it
whith camera u use on this video?
Compared to G7 Lumix, which is better? For cinematic videos and sometimes photography
the g7 is totally outdated
@@TechThroughTheLens isn't a6000 outdated too? g7 could shoot 4k
You make me miss Toronto !
Hi and thanks from Paris
You made me miss paris
Hey, my friend. Thanks for the video. I would like to ask you to help me out! I'm a beginner, and I've always dreamed of having a camera since my childhood. Now I decided to buy one. I stuck between A6000 and A6400 (both used). With my budget right now, I can afford an A6000 + Sigma 30mm 1.4 (maybe if I am lucky, a kit lens) or an A6400 + kit lens (both are used).
I searched the whole of TH-cam, and I know how fantastic and necessary it is to have a prime lens like what I mentioned. As the prime lens I mentioned is so expensive in my country, I decided to buy the first setup, but I noticed the colors and low-light performance of the A6400 are much better, and I am worried that I will regret buying the A6000. Sometimes I think I'm a beginner, and the A6000 is enough for me. Can you help me?
I usually to take pictures in the nature or streets or parks. I was looking for a small and light weight camera for that and I think both are ok in these aspects. I do not know when I can buy a prime lens or even if I will like this area or not! Sometimes I get good photos with my phone. Thank you.
I would go with the a6400 as you should go with the better camera and upgrade your lens later on but the better image quality and specs will be better in the long run
@@TechThroughTheLens Thank you. Do you know how many shots is OK for a second-hand camera?
Which is best Sony A6000 or Canon R100 for beginners
Can you please make a video about the sony nex 6?
Can the screen face down? Like for easier shoot when the camera's raised?
No
It doesn’t but can tilt down a little
I does tilt down so you can raise it above your head. you simple pull the screen out and tilt down. hope this helped
@@TechThroughTheLens thank you!
A really weird technique that nobody used to mention is tilt the screen 90 degree and then put the camera upside down. That way you can shoot facing down the screen 😅
Will be picking this camera up for 400 euros with 3 spare batteries, 55-200mm, 18-55mm and camera bag.
great deal!
i found the exact same bundle except for 450 usd
From where are buying this ?
Wait why did yours say 6400 not 6000 like mine!?
Does a6000 have a color filter?
Permisi bertanya, saya dulu pengguna Canon 60D dan mau pindah ke Brand lain
Brand Nikon ini kecepatan auto fokus untuk foto nya bagus ya? Tergantung dari prosesor nya betul ga sih?
Mau buat foto apa bang

Should I buy this one?
The photos are soft because of the lenses you're using
Is it worth getting one that has 30.000 clicks? I'm new to this.. 😅
Need some advice camera people found a deal my buddy has he’s upgrading is a Sony a6000 with a 16-50mm lens and shutter count of 5700 good for $380? Comes with batter strap charger. Trying to get into this and don’t know if it’s a good price or not or if shutter count is high
That’s a great price
Nice. The a6000 can be had for 250 to 300. A6500 is 400 to 500 used. The a6400 iv seen for around same price. And a new a6600 cost now around 1200 usd. Im waiting for the a6600 used around 600 700 usee to replace one of my a6300.
Great video! Like your content. I m looking to buy a cheep body and I’m having a dilemma: Olympus om d e m5 ii, pro body, ibis, touchscreen, fully articulated screen, cheeper lenses but smaller sensor, or alpha 6000 with larger sensor, but lacking in everything else? Can you help me with this dilemma? 😅
Oh man, I used to trust what you said in your reviews....... until you recommended the 55-210. That lens absolutely sucks. The 18-135 is amazing with the a6000 (or any apsc e mount lens for that matter). That's the one you should have recommended.
Hey sorry to hear you feel that way. These are just the lenses I personally have. And Why do you not like the lens? Again i am aiming this video at ultra casuals
@TechThroughTheLens I don't like the lens because it is terribly soft. Maybe a more skilled photographer can get decent photos out of it, with the help of post processing, but when I was just learning photography, I had that lens and I thought I was the problem. Then I got the 18-135 and it was so much better. So I would say the exact opposite for that lens. It is a detriment to an ultra casual photographer, as they could get frustrated with their results and maybe think that photography isn't their thing. And I am not alone in my opinion of that lens. Many reviews point out it's shortcomings. And it is dirt cheap because no one wants it. But sadly, uninformed newbies like I was see a big, shiny lens at a good price and buy it, thinking since it is a native Sony lens, it should be good. Far from it.
This or canon m6 mk1?
My cousin is looking for someone who will teach her how to use the camera for taking macro photos (for small objects). She needs to do settings. She will pay for the lessons.
Am available
Mine doesn’t last 15 minutes
What about this camera for filmmaking?
not the best. I am youtuber and make videos. new phones are shooting better videos. Pics are great tho
Why would this camera have a "soft, dreamy" look compared to a 6400?
Please guide me. Within two days i am gonna buy a new camera. Should i go for this sony a6000 or Canon r50 ?
My preference is solo photography of mine(portrait).
Sony will give you more lens options from third party manufacturers.
0:49 "Blandest things in your life......" 🤭
My life is very bland. I use cameras to feel something. ahah
@@TechThroughTheLens What made me smile was the lady on screen that followed your comment about 'blandest things in your life...' I think around 0:52 She can't have been too happy :D
I cant find it cheaper then £5-600?
Found one for 230$, should i get it?
that i a steal! buy it!
This or the r50?
depends ont he vibe. the r50 is a lot cleaner and sharper looking
Lumix G7 seems a bit easier to get these days at a fair price due to the A6XXX hype.
pls review fugi xs20
absolutely will
"Your angry dog" 😂
Sir, could you do a review on sony a 6700 please?
I absolutely will. once i get my hands on it.
@@TechThroughTheLens Thanks, sir.
1:58 Squeen?
the video is so interesting but PLEASE stop with these incessant transitions (and failed? image is coming before or after transition but not in the right time..), it really gives headache.
would be super cool without the over-editing, calm the rythm, i understand youtube has its codes but that's too much:)
otherwise the subject is well covered, thank you
actually it shoots 11fps iirc
You did not just say “the blandest things in your life” and use pictures of your beautiful significant other (assuming) as an example. 😂
I bought new in 2021 - the shutter packed up a month out of warranty!! Go for something more reliable!! Also it eats batteries like nobodys business!!
All these people saying they have this camera and it’s just sitting there make me sad lol gimme yo camera and let me love it haha
Is it good for $100
just bought on for $200 just for fun :-D
Copped one for 120 bucks
Damn... 120? nice
TORONTOOOO
All of this guys point are wrong the images are classic sony color its not special photos and this facts are false i highly dont recommend takin any of this guys words to heart at all hes lying to you guys i feel bad for anyone who believes him and his lies
This editing looks like it was made with AI
Really? Tell me more.
Photographer
Just stop
11 fps
Love your reviews... I find a lil ironic that the name of your channel is tech through the lens but you rarely review lenses. I adore the camera reviews, however not reviewing lenses is a missed opportunity imho 🙈🥹
I think we gotta do lenses
