This camera will never go out of date. It's a beast when paired with decent glass, and it won't become obsolete just because we have new ultra premium cameras every year, with gazillion of fancy new features. Because when it comes to basics, and it's capturing light, A6000 is awesome at what it does, and even if you rock a fancy new A1 or something premium, it's awesome as a backup, every day, every situation carry camera.
you're the man who made me buy my first camera, buy Lightroom, buy preset packs, and start my own UA-cam channel. Man I love your work. Glad to continue follow you trough 2023, You're fantastic!
I’ve been shooting on an a6000 for years and still haven’t outgrown it. No need for something more expensive for most people. It’s really impressive. Recently I’ve been thinking it’s time for an A7IV but instead I spent that money on glass, and I’m glad I did. This thing is a beast when you put some expensive FE glass on it.
So i came here trying to get inspiration for shooting on my a6000 because ive been wanting to upgrade to a more pocketable friendly camera like a Ricoh gr iii but also have been trying to be conscious of over consumption and trying to always buy things instead of just using what i have. Not only did i come here truly inspired by the way you shoot your street photography but of a good person you are helping your fellow citizens. You really warmed up my heart when you topped of the elder lady's metro card. Cheers to you!
Thank you Stephanie 🙏 I think sometimes we limit our creativity because we believe we can be more creative with other (better) gear. When in fact it’s just a battle we’re having with believing we’re capable. If you end and bought a new camera you may find it reignites a part of creativity that you already have you just feel held back by the camera you currently use. It’s not holding you back you just feel like it is. But that’s ok, sometimes we need something new to get us going again. Im not saying go buy a new camera but understand you have the capability to create whatever you want with the camera in your hand. If you want a change that’s totally fine, go for a change and create ❤️
I only have an A6000 and as a beginner who dips my toes with photography/editing from time to time, I'd say this camera really works amazing. Will probably take a few more years before I can fully outgrow it. Good lenses especially primes extends the lifespan of this so much. Only downside is the video performance but as far as photography goes, it's still a beast. If anyone here is into gaming, this is the 1080 Ti of cameras
Dude... My thoughts are the same too! I have this and also a beginner.. I love both of the photos/videos on this beast.. 1080 Ti of cameras! hahaha.. cheers!
Instead of long technical stories, boring reviews and blah, blah, you show us real review and quality of camera. This is the video i would like to see before buying anything, not technical specifications which we can already read from the store's website. Thanks!
@@sirdk1234 I would recommend 50mm for portraits. I would also recommend getting a fast one too, since it's aps-c and it will struggle more in low light. For portraits, the background blur and bokeh are a big factor
@@sirdk1234 I used the combo you currently use and it was fantastic but if you want something a bit longer then you can't go wrong with the Sigma 56mm F1.4 which is an absolute gem.
Being a sony a6000 user I could confidently recommend anyone looking out for a beginner camera to buy one. But the kit lens is very limited. It's not that sharp and you will struggle a lot with it in indoor conditions because your shutter speed will have to go less than 1/30 to get a decently lit image. I would suggest someone to use the kit lens for maybe 6 months...have a grip of the camera and switch to a prime lens of your choice. I have gone with the 50mm 1.8 OSS and it was an amazing upgrade.
Ace video sam, very kind of you to help those people 😊. I've just upgraded, had my 1st DSLR for just over a year and have just got one of these, the Sony A6000 😁 very happy so far with it,.just need to get myself some more lenses. Currently just using the Sony FE 28-70mm f3.5 - 5.6.
New handle for you - “good deed” Sam! You must look very approachable. A6000 still very capable, especially in hands of skilled photographers. Still have the unit I bought shortly after it first came out - was an innovative topside mirrorless in its prime. Had issues w/battery life, noisy shutter, light leaks in lens flange (DIY replaceable), no IBIS, few Sony lenses, hot shoe issues. However, e-mount was super-adaptable to wide range of lenses; Sony Play store allowed apps to be downloaded to cam for fun functionality, body was light weight, and pop-up flash could tilt backward for flash bounce. Kit lens had major distortion issues - corrected in camera and in post.
Excellent video. The A6000 is the best bang for buck if you want to get into mirrorless. The only downside is the battery life. Too bad the A6600 solved the problem but it is so much expensive
Excellent video! Thank you for sharing. I have recently started my photography journey and am enjoying your reviews, videos and style of photography! This review was great because I was able to see that you don’t need an expensive camera to take amazing shots!! Thanks!!
You really motivates me to go back at photography! I was trying to save to buy some gear but I barely do photography. I just better to start with anything I got now. Great video. Great results.
Great video... Thanks for sharing... I just bought a second hand a6000, well I wanted to get one since a long time and I am so glad I picked this one as my first camera... This is the first time I've watched your videos and bless the youtube algo for suggesting this video. Definitely subscribing!
Thanks for this. Just switched from a58 to a7iii. Was looking to get one of these in addition, since it feels more convenient in some situations. Keep up the good work 👍🏻
Love your videos and especially this one with the A6000, seeing a pro with a 'budget camera' just goes to show your creativity and how photography is not based on the equipment but the photographer themselves. SonyA6000- christianslimb
Sony A6000 @waveringfocus Great upload as always. The light was amazing and I love how effective the shots with the tiniest sliver of light came out. Beautiful moment with the lady that needed help with the top up... 👍
Sony a6000 - benchandlerphotography Used to have the a6000 and absolutely loved it. I’m now starting to practice more street photography, just from watching your videos, so thank you!
I Bought mine as a webcam in the pandemic, then it introduced me as a videographer hobbyist world, i ended up buying 2 vintages lenses Yashica 50mm Helios 58mm and other 2 manual lenses 23mm and 28mm f1.4, now i'm planning to get a Tamron 17-70mm f2.8. this camera is so much fun, i hope to get one day a Sony a7c to expand my possibilities too
Sony A6000 - vonci I really like the fact that you can do these kind of shots even with the kit lens which gets a lot of negative feedback from people.
Subscribed after seeing first 10 photos you took!!! What an eye for a shot!!! Planning to get my first camera to learn photography. Mainly portrait and street photography, considering a6000 with sigma 56 1.4 prime to start with. Wanted a6400 but it’s out of budget if i add the lens to it. I hope i am making a right decision!!!
I have had an A6000 for a couple of years but due to caring for my elderly mother haven’t really done any photography during this time. I want to get back into it now. I love landscape, wildlife and maybe macro later. I really want a decent lens for wildlife that I could get second hand, any suggestions welcome.
Heck of a deal you got on that! They are still selling new for more than what I paid for mine 8 years ago! Low light performance is lacking but other than that it’s still a great camera!
hi wander love your video if you are using viltrox lens so which any two lens you will used for photo shoot and street photography so please suggest me .👍👍👍✌
I still watch this over and over again sir! I only have A6000 and you inspires me to use it everyday. And also I admire you to help people. Thanks sir for your video.
Hi Bro, I loved you shots on this video, all shots you took are shadow shots, little underexposed. is this camera only good for those shots? how about portraits?
I bought the 6400 which is brilliant. This whole APS-C range is just great and a great range of prices - and even more economical if used. The only thing I wish for is IBIS as I'm getting older. I use the Sigma 18-50 f2.8 most of the time because it is just an absolutely outstanding lens, but the kit lens does have the advantage of OSS. A lot of your shots used the hard contrasty lighting which I think is a good way to hide the softness of the kit lens. It's a bit of a Marmite lens (or I suppose that's Vegemite in Sydney?) and you either love it or hate it. I started off hating it. But used in the right way with the right kind of subjects it is more than OK.
So great! I have a6000 as well, would be nice if you put details of the setting of each photo taken. All the settings is very confused for me. I have his camera since 2018 and just recently upgraded its kit lenses to 35mm f1.8

Yea it will work welll. The a6000 af is good enough for street shooting like this. The rest is up to the user knowledge of how to shoot and how to edit. 1 dont need top of the line products to do these street stuff. Cracks me up everytime when people still think after getting expensive gear they can get good/great photo out of the box. No you cant. You need to know how the settings works and composition and lastly know how to edit.
I have been sitting here obsessing about buying a better zoom lens for my new a6400 and trying to hold off till I have some more invoices paid off and this has made me realize that it really doesn't matter. The kit lens might not be amazing, but it's all about the photographer and the kit lens will be enough for me to get practice just now!
tamron or sigma one of the two I have the 1.4 and use the this with it. I use the 18-300mm lens on the zve10 for zoomies Think sony is gonna release another set of series this year Cant wait to pick one of those up! Did a wedding with both bodies and it came out lovely Last weekend.

Great man with great heart
Can you advice, Is it quality for videography?
Yea! Im still use this camera ;] (also have this default lens ) and sigma 1.4 56mm
I have 0 experience with any camera aur photography in general. One thing I realise now is, it's not the camera it's the user.
At this point, for photography, as long as you do full manual, any interchange lens camera from the past 10 years will be good enough.
