It’s hard to understand all the hype about the A6000, because it’s so clearly built to a price and is doomed to give results much inferior to what it’s electronics are capable of. Not only is the body cheaply made, but more important, the lens mount is plastic, which after a few lens replacements is bound to lead to wobble, misalignment, and lower resolution. The quality of the kit lens, according to several reviews, is also inferior. Hard to know what Sony was thinking when it put such nice electronics together with clearly inferior mechanical and optical bits. No, the A6000 is basically a toy.
Ha – that was so funny.
Clearly you don’t own or ever used a A6000. Yes it is build to a price, you are absolutely right, but so is every camera. Do you realy think any $600 camera is much better build? I’m using the camera and can tell you that it feels good in your hand, it is sollid and it works great. No problem with lens wobble, misalignment or what ever!
Is the kit lens up to the 24MP? Well I don’t think so, you are right there, but It delivers better resolution then a kit lens on any camera that only has 16MP.
The A6000 is a great camera for its price. Yes Sony could have put a 16MP sensor in it, so the kitlens would perform more conform the sensor quality, but you know what is great about the kitlens? You can replace it with better lenses and get superior results compared to the 16MP cameras.
The only reason people are telling cr@p like you are is that they are afraid that Sony takes away market share from there, far “superior” DSLR cameras or MFT cameras…
Don’t feed the trolls. I personally find the kit lens to be above average with good pop. Sure primes are better but kit lens to kit lens and its hitting above its price and makes for a very handy kit. As to putting in a 16 mp sensor. No. If you want 16 mp downsample, then look at how much better it is than say the great 5n.
Thanks for the shared link. I own an A6000 and although the build may not be pro it’s a metal body and the lens mount can be replaced if you find wobble. TBH I have not found this an issue when suspended off the back of a big lens – great IQ for a £500 camera body – don’t knock it unless you have tried it!
