Sony A6000 in 2024? Is It Worth It?

Is Sony A6000 still the best beginner camera in 2024?

[CurtisPadley]

What are your thoughts on the Sony A6000 in 2024?

[winconfig]

A lot of the younger people who only know their smartphones for photography will find it difficult to understand or not believe a ten-year old camera like this can actually take better photographs when compared to the Android or iPhone equivalents.

[AlvaroAvalos]

this is my first camera and im going to recoment it for everyone that wants to start on photography, ive seen this go for below 300 with a kit lens for that price is a steal!

[Elise_Guitars]

I got my a6000 in 2014 when it first came out. It's been great. Only this year did I get a a6700 as well. Now I use my a6000 with a 28mm f2.8 from 7artisans as my grab and go camera for quick shots. I love this camera!

[jaynepainter]

I have an A5100 and it’s still a great little camera!

[katelynchef]

A camera close to my heart-my it Sony camera-I bought a second used for an everyday carry camera paired with a Zeiss lens-it’s a timeless piece of camera equipment to have-totally agree!

[YU-fps]

The a6000 is obviously still a viable camera in 2024. Looking at the current used price range, the a6300 is also a recommended choice.

I am just getting into photography and I am liking the shots that my a6000 takes versus my cellphone. I dislike how I have to hold my phone because I have a essential tremor, but with the Sony I feel like I can get a better grip that reduces how much I shake. Its usually enough for the anti-shaking stuff that is built into the camera.

One thing I wanted to point out that there is a cell phone app that is like a remote control/viewing for the phone. So you could take your selfies if you wanted with a hot shoe to cell phone converter which are ubiquitous and cheap. I only thought a small number of Sony cellphones could use this feature but I guess its universal for any phone. Anyway this is my first time on your channel so I am going to go through your backlog. I see some stuff I am excited for already.

I already own this camera, and just watched this video to boost my feeling of not needing to sell it for an upgrade. If you just like taking nice photos when you go out for a walk, and might want to print a few of them off, this is exactly the camera you need!

[aymanharoon]

hey Curtis. I'm all the way from Fiji and I don't usually comment on videos but your POV's have helped me find a huge interest in photography. Just travelled to Australia recently and picked up a Sony a7c and a Zeiss 50mm f1.4. Got them both used for quite cheap. Thank you for doing what you do!

[frailgrande]

Got mine in 2017, still rocking it in 2024 😎💪🏻

[Schumeyyy]

Got mine in 2022 after breaking my a7ii. I didn't want to spend a fortune on a FF sony because I didn't shoot much anymore, and I couldn't be happier with the a6000. For my recent trip I got the kit lens for it, which makes it a perfect travel buddy who can fit in my shoulder bag.

Personally it's the autofocus that is just my small issue with this camera. The new ones are just so much better. Other than that, it's still really good especially with good lens. Wouldn't really notice the difference vs a newer APSC on edited photos if you posted it in something like Instagram.

[tezburkey]

I had a choice of Canon 70D or A6000. I chose the Sony and to this day no regrets and still use this awesome little gem . Paired with proper glass it gives a great result ..

[pers]

I picked up a a6000 along with the sigma 30mm f1.4 last year and I couldn’t be happier. I’m going to pick up the sigma 18-50mm f2.8 next.

[ianhallett]

I traded a fiddly little Panasonic TZ100 in for my A6000 some time back and couldn't be happier, I wanted the TZ as a simple daily but it was just to fiddly and a right faff to use in manual mode, the A6000 is simple, cheap, easy to use and always gets the shot.. I should add I traded it in with CEX who give a 2 Year!! warranty on used camera kit, as mentioned in one of your other vids anyone buying the Sony, turn flight mode on and switch off the eye sensor for the view finder, saves the battery. Great vid cheers chap 👍

[StevenLiaoT]

I still have mine in silver and literally just got a used, mint Zeiss 24mm 1.8 to go with it. Will keep using it until it breaks honestly, then onto IBIS ✌🏼

[gbgmusicismylife]

I have Sony 5100 x Sigma 18-50, 📸 great pic with it in Gothenburg 🇸🇪💙🤗

[HensleyDesign]

I’ve had my a6000 for 6 years now and it’s been great! What model would you recommend as an upgrade to the a6000?

[KyleWattsTV]

My first Sony apsc was the a6400 other than the lack of stabilization it was such a good camera!
