I can confirm that those of you that preorderd the A6000 the very first days after the announcement will get the camera sooner than expected. And there are some rumor saying this first shipment will start the next week already. Still, the official release is differs from store to store: SonyStore (April 15), Amazon (April 20) and BHphoto (April 23).
The A6000 is already shipping in European and Asian stores and plenty of SAR readers contact me to share their happiness 🙂 The A6000 is one of those cameras that gives us a clear idea of what we can expect on the future A77II and A9 cameras. Super fast AF on the full imaging area!

in France, shipments have already started, I have received mine yesterday!
Got mine today.
As a previous owner of: NEX-5, 6 and 7 as well as RX100 & A77, this is by far the best camera I owned.
A great feature is AUTO ISO in M mode. Oh, how much I missed this.
Been shooting with Zeiss 24mm/f1.8 – 50mm/f1.8 – 35mm/1.8 and ….I am most pleased with the 35mm/f1.8. AF speed, resolution, color accuracy and general look was best with the 35.
thank you. i was discouraged by the posters above and you have regain my desire to have it. preordered already. can’t wait
can’t wait to skip it!
Got mine yesterday, it’s a *fantastic camera*. But not enough to top my N7. It’s going back, I’ll see what high end body Sony might offer in September…
What were the biggest drawbacks? Controls? EVF? Something else?
The N7 operation is still more seamless, I loved the added controls of the A6K but the TriNavi still rules, as far as I’m concerned. The magnification scheme in playback is just as annoying as that of the A7. Don’t get me wrong, it’s amazing, but the N7 is special to me.
Thanks Claire!
I think I’m going to start taking my shopping to a retailer that charges a restocking fee for returns, which is then passed back to the consumer with open-box pricing.
No, I’m not looking to buy a cheap open-box camera. What I want is to avoid is buying a stealth open-box camera. Or having my prices raised because the retailer has to absorb the loss and disperse it amongst everyone.
Did someone use the new a6000 with la-ea2 adapter with a-mount lens?
Yes, I did yesterday, it works beautifully, and I found it a bit faster than with the N7
Does the new superfast autofocus run with la-ea2, or not?
No, the LA-EA2’s own AF module overrides the camera’s. But I did find it a bit faster and surer than coupled with the NEX7.
Is there a menu in the software that can exclude the adapter af system?
No, the instant you mount the LA-EA2 on the camera, its the adapter’s AF module that takes over. Which is fine, because it’s pretty quick and accurate (mid end DSLR like)
But not faster than the new superfast AF of the A6000
I’d say about as fast…
Claire, can you please made a video of the test with a6000+la-ea2?
something like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wsddzE5f13k&feature=player_embedded
so we can see how is fast a6000+la-ea2
thanks a lot
Sorry I can’t, I returned the camera
oh…. no problem, thanks anyway!
why did you returned the camera?
Mainly because I wasn’t happy with the jpeg output
So would it be better to get the FE 70-200 for this camera if shooting sports to maximize the fast AF?
or G 18-105 f.4 (its a real 157mm) and it’s cheap!
Mine got lost by TNT.
Anybody knows what lenses are compatible with fast hybrid AF?
20F28? 35F18? 50F18? 10-18? 55-210? Others?

that link shows all the lenses with compatibility with hybrid af, but I think it was not updated recently with the new update. I´m pretty sure now the 18-105g and some FF lens are compatible too now.
