Sony just announced the Sony A6000 White Christmas edition that will go on sale from Mid December. Pity that it will go on sale with a Silver (and not a better matching white) 16-50mm kit lens. Price of the camera+lens will be $1,099. Don’t know you but I would rather spend $150 less and get the Black A6000 double(!) lens kit for $948 at Amazon US instead.
The new White version is listed at Sony UK and Sony Germany.

a red valentine version would be great too 😉 a bundle with a lingerie set .. umm umm umm
Whats about the missing videocodec update xavc-s. That would realy jump purchase rates
Yes, it needs this!
Bullshit. “Christmas Edition” is what we truly need.
Red and White stripes with a peppermint scent.
Did Sony buy the Hasselblad Design center?
They get it for free…
I think name of white camera should be iphotone 6
I better get my Pink A6000 for Valentines <3
with pink leather case and pink strap please sony <3
Well, at least the grip matches the body this time, even if none of the lenses will…
It could be a test to check out if there is a market for white cameras.
White E-mount bodies aren’t anything new.
Beautiful! Bought the very last NEX in white, which was the NEX-5T coming with silver SEL-P1650 and I would definitely buy this colour combo again. White lens would be too much for me, but the silver looks decent. Anyway curious if XAVC S will come to this model by firmware update or is reserved for α6100…
I also think the white body with silver lenses looks better than the champaign a6000 with either black or silver lenses. My girlfriend would love this combo, I better not show it to her :p
Shot all day with the A7 today. Yeah, I’m digging it now. With manual lenses it’s a freaking dream. Not to shabby at all. Just gotta grab myself a wide angle and i’m all set.
Finally a positive comment from you! 🙂
Nice to hear, enjoy!
Hold on… we can’t rule out negativity here.
“Shot all day with the A7 today” – I mean that could be a complaint or simply a neutral statement.
“Yeah, I’m digging it now” – Could be referring to digging a hole to bury the A7.
“With manual lenses it’s a freaking dream” – Freaking can be used to convey anger, annoyance, or contempt. The dream could have been unpleasant. So the translation would be ‘With manual lenses it’a a freaking nightmare!’
“Not to shabby at all” – Shabby is a new word for ‘cool’ in British slang. So to translate ‘Not to cool at all’
“Just gotta grab myself a wide angle and I’m all set” – The experience was incomplete without a wide angle, so yeah that is more negativity.
I don’t see anything positive here.
We have a Sheldon Cooper here!
I shot all day, I did some landscape and birding as well. I used 24mm minolta, 135mm Zeiss, 50mm Zeiss, 135mm F3.5 minolta rokkor. I spent about 6 hours shooting walking around downtown, then went hiking.
I think the error in my thinking originally was trying to compare the A7 to an A900, A99, etc. I’m starting to think differently about it. Different tool and different experience IMO. But, I’m not new to mirrorless. In fact, I sold my A900 because I have multiple systems and enjoyed more so the smaller cameras I owned. So I said goodbye to it.
Anyway, let me add some meat to my statement. The handling is actually quite good provided your not rocking a giant lens on the end. I don’t find the 135mm 1.8 all that enjoyable on it, but it works. I like the layout in the back, access now to Zebra and the focus peaking works great as expected. Battery life isn’t that great, but then again it was less of an issue than I thought. Of course, I wasn’t using AF and I tend to take my time shooting. However, the batteries are so small it’s no big deal carrying a few extra as I found.
There are some things I have an issue with. Fotodiox adapters (at least the ones I have) don’t indicate what aperature your at when you stop down. Also, when I tilt the back screen horizontally it triggers the viewfinder often and goes out- a bit of a nuisance, but it’s not the end of the world.
I’m not going to sell it. I plan on going out all weekend and working with it some more. No major downsides to speak of, quite the opposite. I think that’s a positive statement- especially coming from me.
Played with one again in the store tonight myself, and I’m getting very close to buying that camera. I think I might put my A900 on the block pretty soon to make way for the A7.
At just $1k used, I really don’t see why not. Even your A900 would almost pay for it.
I sold my A900 and went without a sony FF for awhile. I bought it new actually about a year ago in an outlet store. I like it, I really did but it just wasn’t what I wanted- so I sold it two months ago.
Anyway, first time I picked up an A7 I hated it because I didn’t really get it. I even started doubting myself a few days ago when I got it in the mail. But, I hadn’t really used it. The layout is pretty freaking sweet. Carrying it around all day is a real pleasure and if your into vintage lenses and manual focusing- I’m pretty sure it doesn’t get any better.
Sony please halt all new lens development and focus on reproducing existing lenses in white so they match the white A6000. Thx
That’s it, I’m switching to the white system. Sold my gear in anticipation.
And while they are at it, please get Rokinon and Sigma to make their third party APS-C lenses in white as well. And maybe Zeiss can do some Touits in pearlescent white and charge double for them. While they are at it, just add some leather to everything, and rebrand it as Hasselblad.
Does it come with an app to take pictures of snow and Christmas trees?
Racists!
Back when the Nikon V1 was fairly new, I took it to England along with some Olympus mirrorless gear. The Nikon got a lot of attention. So while I am not a fan of non-black cameras in general, well-styled models can start up conversations.
I see a point if that $150 goes to a metal body, and it isn’t impossible considering what Sony’s done with limited edition before…but if the material goes unchanged, then there’s really no point. Girls probably won’t buy it anyway since there’s no lens to match.
Why are they releasing this? There is only one lens available to match it, the sel70200g. 🙂
perfect combo
You’ve done it now – brace yourself for endless sr5 18-200 new colour rumours
They hired the layoffs from the Hassy design center.
Fail
I’m always puzzled by these alternative color experiments (Pentax is an even worse offender). But if manufacturers keep doing it, they must sell somehow.
Or they’re dirt cheap to churn out… I’m holding for the gold edition – guaranteed to turn your photography up to 11!
I like nature photography. So I want a green edition with green lenses, too. 🙂
Spay paint will do. 🙂
with addition feature “4D focus”.
