Compact mirrorless kit with 16-50 mm lens

The Sony Alpha 6000 ILCE-6000L/B pairs a 24.3 megapixel APS-C Exmor CMOS sensor with the BIONZ X processor in a body roughly half the size and weight of a typical DSLR. The kit includes the 16-50 mm power zoom lens and a 0.39 inch OLED electronic viewfinder with 1,440,000 dots. A 3.0 inch 921.6K tilting LCD, pop-up flash and Multi Interface shoe complete the package.

Build integration with E-mount system

The E-mount accepts the full range of Sony interchangeable lenses, so the camera grows with the photographer without requiring a new body. Wi-Fi and NFC enable direct transfer to a smartphone for quick sharing or remote control. Full HD 1080 video at 24 and 60 frames per second covers standard recording needs. The compact form factor frees bag space for additional lenses or accessories.

Suited for travel and everyday shooting

Photographers who want DSLR-class resolution in a lightweight body for street, travel or family use will find the 179-point phase-detection autofocus and 11 frames per second burst useful. Buyers who need 4K video, weather sealing, in-body stabilisation or dual card slots should look at other models. The fixed 3:2 aspect ratio and single SD slot may limit specialised workflows.
