There is also a Silver version of the A6000. But the weird thing you can see from these pictures is that the Silver of the camera actually doesn’t match the Silver of the lenses. It’s more of a goldish-bage silver than real silver.

this is more like “Champagne” of the Contax G series
You beat me to it – I was about to say exactly the same!
Would look great with black lenses, not so sure about the silver…
Has anyone published photos of the A6000 with the tiny Sony 20mm/2.8 lens?
I couldn’t find any, if it focuses as fast or faster than the kit lens would be a brilliant match.
This is what I initially thought. It will look great with my G lenses.
Yeah because that’s magnesium alloy, a different metal from the lens’s
Yes, magnesium and transparent coating would be my guess also. Because a lot of camera bodies are magnesium (frame).
WESTiNG TiME
Sellers call it ‘titanium’, but I bet it isn’t.
I love this color!
I like it too which is funny because I don’t like silver cameras
This half case looks great. Is it new? From Sony?
Wanna have this for the A7 as well! (I know there is agaric and others)
It is from sony and I think it actually has cut outs for the usb and battery. I think they finally got it right with the case. I don’t know what took so long. I am sure they could have made so much more money if they sold good cases for there own products
I prefer it to the old silver bodies.
If it isn’t some kind of cheap spray paint, it’s quite stylish!
Very classy look, please do the same for A7 version 2 which I’ll be buying. But where’s the A-mount news?
Yes …where is the A mount news?
Looks like Hasselblad made it
This camera + Konica M-Hexanon 50/1.2 would be gorgeous
I can imagine this looks very good with black lenses. With silver ones – not so much.
in silver plus the half case in black leather will be sexy, but I would still go for black.
…need a iso comparison to nex 5n.
Yes! High ISO compared to NEX-5n is very interesting! Please tell me if you can find that!
I usually dont like non-black cameras, but this one is nice looking.
The high ISO looks quite nice compared to the 5N/5T … As do the jpegs as well, they look smoother without the ugly artifacts. Nice.
Pink or nothing.
I wait for DxMark tests to know if A6000 worths it or not 😉 in comparison with N7 or Nikon D4
I like green.
Olive green
New A mount cameras should come in green.
Telephoto and macro lenses too.
I like blue 😉
I see atleast someone has done it.

I love lamp.
People cover thier caneras and lenses in lens wrap in camo and gree colors.
Thats why green would be good for cameras and long lenses used for wildlife.
That is why I suggested A mount and long tele/ macro lenses.
Mayby we should have a survey of what colors sar readers would like to see for what products.
Do the new aXXXX series have auto ISO limits like the RX series?
I really like this camera. Fast autofocus is what I have been looking for for a long time (and looking at my brother in law´s OM-D). It´s not only for alians but great for kids. Also contrast detection only tends to focus on contrasty patterns on the background or a print on a t-shirt rather than on the eyes or face. Kai demonstrated in his A7 / A7R review that PDAF helps here so I´m very much looking forward to the tests. Especially on more demanding lenses like my beloved 50mm 1.8 which likes to take it´s time until it realise that it´s focusing way out. I also like the viewfinder on the far left top coner, M-style. This way my nose is out of the way and I can keep both eyes open to have a more rangefinder experience. To me it really makes no sense to knock out the mirror and keep the viewfinder on top of the lens rather than to get to some fake retro styling. Any M-user ever complained that the viewfinder was not on the lens axis? Good to read that high Iso is on par with the 5N/T, did I miss any review?
I´m tempted by the price as well. Funny though that body + CZ 16-70 is exactly the same as the 2 items separately at Sony NL. Well, I can wait.
Do you remember the 50 shades of silver from Olympus ?
will the black 1670za look nice with the silver body?
Silver is better than black but, sorry e-mount fans, it’s like putting lipstick on a pig. NEX and axxxx bodies have no style. They’re just uninspired rectangles with a half-a$$ grip Gorilla glued on the end. But I get some people like the ‘clean’ lines of plain Jane. What’s unforgivable is uninspired looks in this case equates to no emphasis on comfortable ergonomics.
If it shows up on any store shelves here in America – so far, the only big box retailer carrying them here is Best Buy and Sony is obviously paying them a lot for the special display space – I’ll give it a whirl but NEXs sucked so bad it was shocking.
And, yes, I’m an average sized guy with no huge guerilla hands or massive Jim Durante nose. Ironically, what attracted me to Sony was the smaller a33 (which I ultimately didn’t buy) because it reminded me of my old Olympus OM SLR bodies. 😉
I can see the camera phone and point and shoot crowd thinking it’s okay but I’ll stick my neck out and say Olympus, Panasonic, and Fuji generally do a better job with their body design.
Panasonic and Olympus do ok. Fuji is even more boxy than Sony though.
If you are going to use “gorilla” twice in the same ridiculous comment, at least use it properly.
Speaking of ridiculous comments, thank goodness for Internet spellcheckers. You’ll save us all! 😉
What?? Fuji sucks with there body design. They went with form over function then sell you a butt ass ugly grip. I agree there cameras look better but I returned my fuji because the grip was horrible and i refuse to add a ugly optional grip. I love there new x-t1 design much better.
I hate DSLR’s body, ugly and “looks” heavy
I prefer simple style but not retro.
Retro style often care about the old shapes and miss the original spirit and lack of the delicate feeling. And it is strange when I saw a EXAKTA or Contessa and some older cameras I couldn’t believe that I will like them so much. Maybe it is some kind of butterfly effect between trying to make it retro with modern tech and trying to make it advanced with old tech
some of us appreciate minimalist or retro done right, you don’t like it don’t buy it simple.
Stylingwise I loved my OM1 that was revolutionary at it´s time for it´s compactness and clean lines combined with great ergonomics. However to retro style a modern day camera to that style is something I don´t like just as i don´t like a VW New Beatle. I do like the clean lines of the NEX series and from an ergonomic point of view i much prefer the viewfinder on the left top corner than a retro pentaprism look.
I want to buy the a6000, however think about moving in the future to FF. Can I use FE lenses on the a6000?
Any e-mount lens will work with any e-mount camera. FF is wonderful and all but its not night and day and for the cost I would get the a6000 and get a ff later since it will only get cheaper. I got a A7 and had a A850 but to be honest I only jumped on the A7 because I got a good deal. I could have waited a year and got a even better deal. I love the A7 but my nex-6 was very nice and I could get 3 of those cameras for the price of just the A7.
Where do you insert the 3.5″ diskette?? (Sony Mavica reference) 🙂
I’m sorry but… this colour combo just doesn’t appeal to me (looks like a Hasselblad design). Seeing it made me throw up a little in my mouth.
I’ll stick with the basic black please and thank you (but to each their own).
I remember those!…640k sensor!
And A-Mount ???? Nothing….
Sony corporate’s priority list:
1. Any thing related to FEs.
2. APS-C e-mount bodies.
3. APS-C e-mount lenses.
4. Developing clever marketing strategies to dump buggy flashes.
5. Ordering donuts and coffee for weekly mirrorless marketing meetings.
6. Making arraignments for annual Christmas party.
7. Picking silverware pattern for executive restaurant.
8. Planning summer intern welcome aboard lunch.
9. Selecting new color scheme for executive offices.
10. Assigning design and marketing of a-mounts to summer intern.
The silver lens matches the buttons and knobs, not the body.
Someone Photoshop the case on, please?!
Why would they put the mode dial above the thumb, and the command dial on the right edge requiring a double-jointed thumb? WTF?
You can see it with the case in the CP+2014 review in DP Review
Looks like a nickel finish, not silver.
I hoped the AF will work well with the SEL50F18. Actually they should remove the AA filter for A6000, perhaps they want all of us to fall into this, so next year they could have a minor upgrade and remove the AA filter.
I can see why Sony lost their TV business. This color stinks and makes the evolution of the Nex cameras even more confusing.
what kind of dumb comment is that, camera in silver makes the evolution of the nex more confusion ??? dude there was other nex models in silver, and if you don´t like it buy it in black.
Unfortunately i think this silver is very ugly.
Too little markings for the plain silver top to my liking. Fuji is more interesting to look at.
It looks great in silver, especially with the leather half case on http://www.dpreview.com/news/2014/02/13/cp-2014-hands-on-with-sony-a6000
I would definitely go for the silver 16-50 as the black one is very plasticky. For me it´s a no brainer, for the same price you can get a nice polished metal finish that is matching the A6000 controls.
