The A6000 is in Stock in Canada (via DL). The A6000 is still not in Stock in USA but at least there is one great deal back: $299 for the NEX-3n and kit lens at Amazon (Click here). And the camera now sells more than the A6000 (ranking here). The NEX-3n is also selling well in the overall camera ranking (Click here) lead by the surprising Go Pro Hero+.

terrific.
admin, wazzzaaaa?
when we can expect APS-C RX100III ?
“The A6000 is still not in Stock in USA…” – strange – I have bought the A6000 already two weeks ago in Germany (589,- € for body) and the camera is already available since two weeks in different photo stores in Munich.
I enjoy this camera very much, but compared to my Nex7 the accu endures only about half of the time. And I´m missing the water level.
terrific.
well I don´t know if it is exactly half of the time. But the A6000 requires significantly more battery power than my Nex 7 – maybe between 25% and 50% more.
so bottom line is to stay with NEX7, cuz i’m selling mine right now?
No I would prefer to have them both: the NEX7 and the Alpha 6000 – everyone with its specific strengths
What does “the accu endures only about half of the time?”
So u could do 800 pics with ur N7? is it what u pretend?
The NEX-3N seems to be holding up its value. 🙂 These offers of 299 seems old and familiar. 🙂
Holy crap! That NEX-3N is a steal. I’m really want to get the A6000 because of all that hybrid AF hype, EVF, and standard hot shoe but the NEX-3N makes me just want to get the 3N! Do you guys think A6000 is worth the added price for features? I’m planning to upgrade from RX100. The reason I wanted to upgrade is because of limitation in depth from lens, slow speed in zoom, and viewfinder. Other performance adds were also reasons I wanted to upgrade.
Can somebody help me explain the benefits of A6000 > 3N?
right off the bat, the AF a6000 (from review videos I’ve watched) is insanely faster. But if there’s not need for faster AF, perhaps you’re just a landscape shooter, or just casual snap shots of family gatherings, then the faster AF isn’t really necessary. The a6000 also has an EVF and that’s a must for some people, not necessarily for others. The a6000 is also faster in frames per second. FOR ME, this is a must… because I often bracket for HDR by handheld… and don’t bother with a tripod. If the fps is kinda slow then you gotta be holding the camera super still or use a tripod. And obviously the extra mega pixels… some people prefer it, some don’t need it, and don’t care
but the fact that you can buy an APS-C camera that’s great in low lighting for $300 is quite amazing… that kit lens alone is still $350 at B&H! (though, it’s NOT worth $350 at all). The kit lens isn’t bad as people say it is… yes, there are distortions and vignetting but all easily correct in Lightroom. But if uploading your pics straight out of the camera (JPEG) is all you do, then I would recommend NOT shooting at 16mm-17mm (and even 18mm) because there’s where the distortion and vignetting are bad
Get both! The A6000 body only is $650, with the lens it is $800. The lens on the A6000 is the same one as on the NEX-3N.So for $150 more than the A6000 kit you get a brand new extra body. The 3N is smaller and lighter, and since it only cost $150 you can just throw it in your bag without worrying if you need to carry around a $650 camera or if you are going somewhere the camera might get damaged.
i bought a nex-3n for $300 a month or so ago as a temporary fix, while i am waiting to get a better sense of sony’s commitment to the asp-c e-mount system. small, convenient, takes good photos. i like it EXCEPT for the display screen, which is very hard to see in bright daylight–not just bright sunlight. that is certainly something you should think about and could be sufficient reason to buy an A6000.
I know a guy who bought the 3N in January and the zoom now makes a grinding noise. I guess you get what you pay for. It was an open box item that he got for about $300, so I don’t know if that is a factor.
Aden Camera also have a few a6000 in stock. Picked mine up yesterday. 🙂
Sorry for offtop. There are information that Sony is preparing to release a medium format camera. It will be like a Mamiya 6 or something in that style with interchangeable optics. Anyone know anything about this?
Probably possible. Sony already released a lens or two for its new A7 format, so it will call that family complete and go on to release a completely new format body, eventually with a lens or two.
Sony R1 in mediium format with fixed zoom lens ? Not so good idea.
Id like to see a test showing how the A6000 handles with the A to E mount converter .and if it can take the A7s Battery grip
Any rumors about a successor to the RX100-II?
