The Sony α6000 (model ILCE-6000)[1] is a digital camera announced 12 February 2014.[2] It is a mirrorless interchangeable lens camera (MILC), which has a smaller body form factor than a traditional DSLR while retaining the sensor size and features of an APS-C-sized model. It is targeted at experienced users, enthusiasts, and professionals. It replaced the NEX-6 and NEX-7.[3] Review websites note that although the α6000 uses a 24 MP sensor like the Sony NEX-7, the Sony α6000 can also be seen as more of a replacement of the Sony NEX-6.[4]

The Sony α6000 was advertised featuring the "world's fastest autofocus" with lag of 0.06 second and 11 fps continuous shooting with tracking AF, but was later surpassed by the Nikon 1 series J4 with 0.01 second delay and 20 fps continuous shooting with tracking AF, albeit with a much smaller and lower-quality sensor. Its MSRP is $700 with a 16-50 mm power-zoom kit lens f/3.5-5.6.[5]

Despite the announcement of an updated model in February 2016, the α6300,[6] Sony has said they will continue production of the α6000.[7]

Popularity

The Sony α6000 proved to be an extremely popular camera. By early 2016, it was reported to be the best-selling interchangeable-lens camera in the over-US$600 price range[8] as well as the best-selling mirrorless camera of all time.[9]

Firmware updates

Firmware version 1.10, released on 30 October 2014, added faster start up time and support for the "Smart Remote Control" Play Memories application.[10]

Firmware version 1.20, released on 26 March 2015, improved images captured on new lenses and added a few minor enhancements.[11]

Firmware version 1.21, released on 6 April 2015, fixed an error in version 1.20 and improved lens performance.[12]

Firmware version 2.00, released on 16 June 2015, enabled video capture with the XAVC S codec to support high Bit Rates.[13]

Firmware version 3.10, released on 17 March 2016, optimized lens performance (applied to the lenses releasing after 2016 March).[14]

Firmware version 3.20, released on 26 July 2016, optimized lens performance (SEL-70200GM).[15]
