Compact Mirrorless Camera Body

The Sony Alpha a6000 ILCE-6000/B is a compact mirrorless camera body designed for photographers who want DSLR-sized image quality in a much smaller form factor. It uses an interchangeable E-mount lens system and includes a built-in pop-up flash and Multi Interface shoe for accessories.

24.3MP APS-C Exmor Sensor

The decisive specification is the 24.3 effective megapixel Exmor APS HD CMOS sensor measuring 23.5 x 15.6mm. This APS-C format sensor pairs with the BIONZ X image processor to deliver high-resolution stills and Full HD 1080 video at 24 and 60 fps with an ISO range of 100 to 25,600.

Suits Travel and Everyday Shooters

This body suits photographers who prioritise portability and fast autofocus performance with 179 phase-detection points and 11 fps continuous shooting. Buyers who need a kit lens included, 4K video recording, or a larger grip and extended battery life for all-day professional use should look at other options.
