The Sony Alpha a6000 is a mirrorless camera that was first released in 2014 and has since become a popular choice among photographers of all skill levels. It features a 24.3 megapixel APS-C sensor, which is larger than the sensors found in most smartphones and compact cameras. This allows for more light to be captured, resulting in more detailed and vibrant images.

This camera has been my workhorse this past year as I went on my sports photography journey with my kids.

One of the standout features of the a6000 is its fast autofocus system. The camera uses a hybrid autofocus system that combines both phase-detection and contrast-detection autofocus. This allows for quick and accurate focusing, even in low-light conditions. The camera also has a burst mode that allows you to shoot at up to 11 frames per second, making it a great option for capturing fast-moving action.

Another great feature of the a6000 is its compact size and lightweight design. The camera is small enough to carry with you everywhere you go, making it the perfect travel companion. The lenses I use with this camera include the Sony 70-350mm Telephoto for sports, the Tamron 17-70 mm for everyday shooting, and the Sony 35mm 1.8 prime lens.

The camera also equipped with wifi, which makes it easy to share images and control the camera remotely with your smartphone or tablet. This is an awesome feature for those on-spot social media posts.

Overall, the Sony Alpha a6000 is a versatile and powerful camera that offers a great balance of features, image quality and price. Whether you’re a beginner looking for a camera that is easy to use, or a more experienced photographer looking for a compact and capable camera, the a6000 is an excellent choice.
